Taking a RB w/ their first pick given how talented this RB class is would be a luxury pick - we have too many other needs and viable/even a great fit RB can be found later (see Jones, Penny, Michel).
Would you rather have either Nelson/Roquan + Penny/Jones/Michel or just Barkley??
An RB is a luxury, and as an RB you're right there isn't a huge drop off.
The difference is that Barkley is a true weapon out of the backfield and that adds value, it's the same as Le'Veon Bell trying to reset the market, he is that much more valuable than a RB.
Bell has a stud oline.
