He is a top back but he's expensive. RBs are a dime a dozen in this league and the most expendible of any position on the team. Teams (except for the skins) like to draft RB at a low cost and then have them outperform their contract.

First, Portis will command a lot of money because everyone knows how special he is.
As for RBs being a dime a dozen, I disagree. You can get a decent back for little money or a mid-round pick. You do not get a Clinton Portis on the cheap - no one except LT can run, block, and catch like him. If your theory about backs is true, why would any team (e.g. Seattle, San Diego) sign backs to big contracts?
