Early running back list

Unless you’re playing the Cowboys and their excellent shoulder only tackling technique

Cowboys are more high school than college.....

Biggest concern for me is Jerry sees the poor quality and production at RB this season and does something stupid and takes one at the 9th pick in April.

Correct, you only see uninterested tacklers of the Cowboys ilk play on Fridays.

Actually, thinking about it, I might be insulting most high school players...

Kaleb Johnson should be added. I'd love to get him in the 2nd or 3rd round. I would be thrilled to have him. Thanks for posting.

had a chance to watch Iowa today and Johnson is a load. just at six foot and 225 good speed and is a banger
showing this season he can be a three down back; I saw him pick up a blitz and absolute destroy a LB bigger than him
probably can get him third maybe even fourth round

Reminds me of DeMarco Murray.

You don't have to worry about that.

I wouldn't say that if I were you, you know Jerry!

Emmitt was not exactly the fastest back around....

Kyle Monangai should be on this list too. Probably more of a 4th/5th but he’s extremely solid all around. Averaging 5+ yards/carry for the 2nd straight year in the Big10 despite being on a very mediocre Rutgers team.

Why don't you watch them?

I’m going to add Brashard Smith to the conversation. Kid is electric, reminds me a bit of Achane.
He was a 4 star WR recruit that went to Miami over offers from Bama and other top schools. Never got his chance to shine there, but is putting up video game numbers after switching to RB atnd transferring to SMU. He’s averaging 7 yards per touch on 18+ opportunities a game. Not saying he’s ever going to be a “bell cow” type RB, but he’s a pure weapon with the ball in his hands…returns kicks too

Trenches first 2 picks, then consider a RB. Even the best RB needs at least a seam, unless you're Earl, Jim Brown or another big bruiser. Haven't seen one of those in a few years. Plus, what good is a shiny, new toy on offense when you can't stop the run on defense?

I think that since there are so many good backs this year we can get one later than usual so this year we get one. Hope so anyway. ABSOLUTELY AGREE trenches first two rounds at least
