I like Gibbs out of all of them but something tells me Devon or Roschon end up being Cowboys.

ITs crazy its very possible someone on this list will be the best back in this draft and no one sees it yet.

Tank feels like a nice player to tandem with Pollard, and a 3rd round pick feels like the right time to start looking RB

Not sure why Zach Charbonnet wouldn't be on there.

Gibbs is the best weapon out of these guys.

I hope the team goes for a modern offensive weapon at RB instead of trying to find some power back to “compliment” Pollard.

Gibbs and Pollard would be sick. Defenses wouldn’t ever get a break.

Abinikanda.

I'm down on a few of the others. I'd say grab Abinikanda with the 2nd round pick.

WR first round. Or there wont be one worth drafting outside of maybe Dantay Demus...

WR rd 1, RB rd 2, TE rd 3...or Mazi round 1 and Demus in 4.

Some scouts think Charbonet has had a lot of wear and tear, like Zeke.

Abonikanda isnt even old enough to drink yet.

The only thing I thought on this matter is Spears is too close to Pollard and Ronald Jones.
My opinion a less finesse power runner is needed.

I'm thinking it will be Tank, Roschan or Kendre Miller

I like Evans in the 4th.

The linked article only says he was suspended twice his senior year. I believe those 2 suspensions were his senior year in high school for violating team rules. It sounds like he had diva issues during recruiting and at TCU but I haven’t heard of issues at Ole Miss. If his medicals are good and I was confident he has outgrown his “diva” attitude, I think he’s top 3-4 in this RB class and a day 3 bargain.

Interesting side note, these are the 2020 high school rankings for the top 20 National recruits who are in this draft:

1. Bryan Bresee
2. Bryce Young
4. Kelee Ringo
7. Myles Murphy
9. Paris Johnson
11. Broderick Jones
12. Gervon Dexter
13. Noah Sewell
14. Eli Ricks
15. Bijan Robinson
16. Zach Evans
17. Will Anderson
18. Jalen Carter

I watched an SMU game one time couple of years ago and Evans played at TCU than I was thinking he transferred out

You’re right. He was going to Georgia but I think they pulled their offer and he wound up at TCU. His recruiting journey was a circus.

Izzy and Evans are my favorites.

Both are big enough around 210/215 and have big play speed.
