Question

What team has gone the longest without selecting a running back in the first round?

Answer

Washington. It last selected a running back in the first round in 1967, with Ray McDonald. Coach Jay Gruden said on a radio interview this week there’s a “good possibility” the team will select a running back early. He might, however, be thinking more of the second round; Washington currently holds the 13th and 44th picks, with no third-round selection.
