The difference being the rushing play runs through kaep with the read option. His rushing average was more than Smith's ypa in a few of Smith's seasons, how sad is that?

The NFL is a QB driven league. The #1 overall pick should be reserved for QBs, guys who protect the QB, and guys who get after the QB. If you look at the draft, guys who get paid the most money, and the most important positions on the field, history absolutely supports that assertion. Not sure what you mean by "impact" position.
Really? Can you give me an example of when a GM seemed to favor a non impact position over an impact position with a top pick? For every example you could find I can find many more. Even top 3 picks. Most of them are qb's, LTs, DE, CB, RB. Not 3/4 DE, guard, RT etc... Whether they were successful or not remains but one thing is for sure, gm's do prefer impact positions versus non impact.
Ummmmmm what went the most in this past draft in the first round O LINE. But I'm sure that doesn't matter Our Gm is an example the Rams 97 draft pick (won the superbowl 2 years later) the Dolphins 08 The Jags this year. All Gms who favored these horrible o line players over "impact positions" because apperently it's not an impact position to be able to keep the QB from being drilled as soon as he gets the pall.
Fisher is the future at the LT position for this franchise. An NFL team isn't going to spend the #1 overall pick on a RT. He may play there a year or two at the most, but they didn't draft him to play the right side. I hope that's not what you're saying they did.
