Looking at the draft.

This is kind of my thinking too. I'm generally very much a proponent of don't need to draft a RB early, but it's clearly a big need and we keep whiffing on mid round backs. Maybe it's reactionary, but there are just so many really talented guys in the early rounds this year that it would feel disappointing to Get a guy with a limited ceiling in the 4th. The ideal scenario is a trade back that allows us to get both in the 2nd-3rd but barring that I trend to agree with you.

Ultimately though it's going to come down to how the board plays out on draft day. If there's an early run on RBs we may miss out on the top tier guys in the 2nd and it would make sense to wait until the 4th if you have a big cluster of guys around the same talent on the board, and the same thing goes for Guard. Just gotta hope that both positions don't have an early run.
