RB in draft

[calicowboy54]

Ok with Zeke Suspension now in effect and if he does anything else it will warrant a 1 year suspension... how high do we draft a RB this next year and Who do you want?

7 Jarvion Franklin,RB 6 #225 Western Michigan

The 6-foot, 220-pound Franklin is the Broncos' second-leading rusher this season with 663 yards and five touchdowns on 137 carries. It's a far cry from the 1,551 yards and 24 touchdowns on 306 carries last season.

One reason why his numbers are down is because the Broncos have done it by committee this season when they couldn't last year because they lacked depth in the backfield

If he's there in the 3rd round.

I like a few in the middle late rounds:

1. Rashaad Penny, San Diego State

2. Kalen Ballage, Arizona State

• http://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/3128774/kalen-ballage

3. Nick Chubb, Georgia

Before Nick Chubbs knee injury he was being talked about being better than Todd Gurley .

4th or 5th round at the earliest.

Here's the real question. Does Elliott get a second contract in Dallas?? Honest views.

yes. He will still be in his prime .

They get 5 years and could do franchise for 2 more.

He would be 29 by then.

It depends on him. He stays clean and continues to perform I think he does. If he doesn't learn anything I think he's gone.

Chiefs got Kareem Hunt in the 3rd round. That's the sweet spot. No need to pick another RB any higher.

Depends on the RB.

Gimme either Georgia RB or the Iowa kid all day

 

[CATCH17]

I like Rod Smith and think he can get the job done.

Im always down for drafting an RB though.

Depends on his usage.

I could see them just letting him walk after 5 years if they've abused him and he's showing signs of deterioration.

Low interest. Rd 5 to UDFA. We have so many picks this year I could see late 4th. Behind our OL, finding a capable RB should be trivial.

I like the previously mentioned Ballage but I think he goes higher -- maybe high 3rd similar to David Johnson or Alvin Kamara.

I like Akrum Wadley (Iowa) a ton. A lot of places have him around the 3rd round or so. To me, he looks a little small and more quick than fast. Not someone who'll be a feature back. Rotation backs drop on draft day and I think he'll be a late 4th to 5th rounder ultimately. Pumphrey went late 4th. Aaron Jones went late 5th. Super duper feet, vision, and instincts. Dangerous receiver too.

Myles Gaskin (Washington). Looks like he has short, bowed legs and a lot of lower body strength. Can really bounce around and great balance.

Josh Adams (Notre Dame) is interesting if his knee checks out. Still wears a brace from a HS injury. Skinniest legs I've ever seen on a RB and a long, narrow torso. Probably declares with the year he's having and some of the OL graduating.

Ahmad Bradshaw (Army QB) also interests me as a RB conversion. Given the current situation in the middle east though, an UDFA long shot.
