The term "building for the future" doesn't imply loading up your team with replacement-level backs with a favorable birthdate.
It implies that you 1)draft/sign, 2)develop, and 3)plan to use younger talent. When you're choosing from a group of massively flawed players, you can choose "none of the above".
This is why I suggest that teams wait for a cut or two before deciding to keep 3 or 4 RBs. If you try to develop non-talent, you're just wasting time and resources.
For the record, I think we could have used our 5th or 6th rounder on a RB, and am confused to exactly why we did not do that.
