By Derrick Ernst July 23, 2026 Late-Rounds RBs I mentioned on Sunday that I had Claude run the value analysis on RBs too, but instead of targets, on rushing attempts. While our Draft Guide does favor RBs at the moment, there were some interesting names that resulted. I figured we were doing ourselves a disservice by not considering them too.
