True enough, and really, look at this way, has WM done anything to justify a first round tag? Or the money he'll command when his contract is up? I suspect WM will be a self-curing problem.
Personally, I don't know why on earth anyone take a running back in the first round, given they have a short shelf life because of the pounding they take.
As for play itself, when the game was online, and Buffalo needed first downs, I saw Thomas run harder than any Buffalo running back so far this season.
Talent isn't everything.
