Mine:

DJ. Giddens. Workhorse with great balance and vision with experience with our OL coach

Cam Skattebo. Dont like him as a Day 2 guy. Love him as a day 3 guy. Can play every down from running to blocking to recieving. I don't think he is as effective in the NFL with a carry load in the 200's. But 150 to 200 he should be a very good contributor

Jaydon Blue. Like Skattebo, I dont see him being effective as a heavy duty back. But as a #2 he would be a major weapon

Rocket Sanders. Checkered career that got back on track a bit this year. Could be undervalued in this class
 
Ollie Gordon........I'm not sure what happened with this kid but he played 2023 like a legit 1st rounder. He had over 2000 yards from scrimmage in 2023. I think he's a steal in the 5ht round. He or Blue are my two day 3 favorites to add to day 1 or 2 pick.
 
In order
1. Damien Martinez, Miami
2. LeQuint Allen, Syracuse
3. Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Arizona
4. Tahj Brooks, Texas Tech
5. Lan Larison, UC Davis

Love your list. Toss in Devin Neal, although he might not make it to day 3.
 
These guys are all about in the same tier.

Damien Martinez
Big powerful runner

Cam Skattebo
Elite contact balance for yards after contact

Jordan James
Physical runner with low ceter of gravty

Ollie Gordon II
Ideal for physical downhill run scheme
 
So many talented runners in this draft, we'd be silly to draft Jeanty in 1.

I'm a big fan of Jordan James
 
I think there's a chance some of these guys go somewhere in Round 3, but I'll list them anyways:

DJ Giddens (reminds me of Aaron Jones)
Jarquez Hunter
Kalel Mullings (short yardage hammer and special teams guy)
Jordan James
Brashard Smith (weapon)
Devin Neal
Quinshon Judkins (young MBIII before he bulked up)
Damien Martinez (hate his tiny hands though)

That was my issue, thinking, some of these guys are going 3rd round, so I posted surefire 5th rd picks.

Add in Tahj Brooks.

I don't know if I'd call it silly to draft a top-five player at No. 12, but at least there are options if we don't. I hope this front office doesn't get the idea, though, that since there are a lot of options, it can just wait until late to find a running back. Although a lot of names are being thrown out here, most of these players will fail to make a dent in the NFL, as happens every year. Frankly, that's one of the reasons I'd take two backs this year even if I drafted one early.

Yeah, I'd like to revisit my 'silly to draft Jeanty' thought. What I think is silly is locking in to Jeanty no matter what. If we get him, then that's great for the offense; all good. But if we don't draft him--for whatever reason--then that's all good too, because there are at least 5-6 good options throughout the draft that can still improve the offense.
