The punter one is a conundrum because of course you would ideally rarely use your punter. But if you had like the Justin Tucker of punters who could pin the opponent inside the 10 almost every time? That is definitely more valuable than an elite RB.

I dunno, I see what Seattle turns into when their backs get hurt and I think having a good running game is pretty essential for a lot of teams.
And then I think, "well, maybe you just need "good", and paying for "great" is a waste of money", but then you look at what Henry, Cook and Kamara are able to do for their teams and it does actually seem like a pretty good thing to have.
It's not that it's not important to have a good running game, it's that trying to pay for one in free agency is extremely risky in terms of actually getting what you're expecting to get. That's how it seems to me, at least.
