ESPN.com: Alvin Kamara off to fastest start among Saints rookies

I don't know if you can consider a first round pick a "Value" considering where Lattimore was picked he HAS to be a difference maker right away. Almost the same for Ram. Given their injuries I'm definitely not calling them value picks.
Looks like all our value may be in the 3rd round. Kamara is definitely a difference maker in a position that is deep. Anzalone will contribute and may be a hell of a player by mid season.

It kind of shows you how the NFL has changed. Running backs are now somewhat expendable. QBs, DBs and OL get more draft day attention. The AK's of the world ofter go under the radar. I think what many missed is that Kamara may be the most prolific receiver - running combo back in quite some time.
