Limited because we don't have a full compliment of picks.
Its for a good reason though.
Mike Shanahan and Bobby Turner usually draft at least 1 RB every draft.
So yeah, they clearly want a RB in this draft because they always want to draft RB.
I think it will be a true open competition and they'll play musical chairs RBs til 1 back clearly separates himself.
I think Helu and Royster made big strides last year and have surpassed Hightower in ability to make the right cutback decision.
I think its will be Helu/Royster/Hightower RBBC with Helu getting 3rd down stuff.
We still have 7 picks. There are 7 rounds ergo 7picks = full compliment of picks.

All we're missing is a 2nd rounder this year. But we still have 7 picks overall.

Right, but having 7 picks overall is not the same as having a full compliment of picks 1 for each round.
We're missing the 2nd most valueable pick for team building therefore there are limited resources.
2nd round pick are core foundational picks that are expecting to contribute fairly quickly.
Calling the draft limited because of one pick seems like a bit of a stretch IMO.

The value of a 2nd round pick is greater then the value of all the picks from 4-7.

Keep thinking that.

so we should trade all our other picks for a 2nd rounder?
Well to me saying 'all' we're missing is a 2nd round pick is underselling its importance.
The value of a 2nd round pick is greater then the value of all the picks from 4-7.
A limited draft to me would be something like 2007 when we only had 5 picks, with no picks in rounds 2-4.
I'm not underselling the importance of the 2nd rounder at all, I've love to have it, but I'd rather have RG3.
Don't forget we have a 3rd rounder too, you left that out in your last point.

Don't forget we have a 3rd rounder too, you left that out in your last point.To me a limited draft is any draft without the full compliment of picks by round but especially when you're missing one of your top 3 picks, which are typically impact picks.
If you think a draft without a 2nd round pick isn't limited that's fine I'm not trying to convince you.
I'm just answering the question you asked me.
And like I said before we're limited for a good reason and Griffin is that reason.
Limited because we don't have a full compliment of picks.
Its for a good reason though.
I didn't forget that we have a 3rd rounder.
I was pointing out the value of the 2nd round pick and which is roughly the same as picks our picks 4-7.
