Top Running Backs in the 2016 draft

[Irvin88_4life]

Dude is a player, for sure. It would be another situation like Gurley probably... be gone in the first before Dallas even gets a chance to pick.

We can hope though!

Only if he last to the 32nd pick can we get him without a trade up

Put me down for Conner out of Pitt. That dude is a beast! Will definitely be watching him every chance i get this coming up season.

Saw he tore his MCL on Saturday and is out for the year. Maybe he'll slide down the in the draft to the bottom of the 1st.

Nick Chubb

I wish he was coming out next year

Wow. Actually reminds me of Emmitt, with bit more speed. But balance, toughness and vision are eerily reminiscent.

Ezekiel Elliott, Nick Chubb, and Derrick Henry are my top 3 backs right now. Need to see Henry's birth certificate though. Dude looks about 30 already.

No love for Fournett?

 

[Hailmary]

I would love one of the top backs like everyone else, but I have a feeling that we're going to go bargain shopping at RB again and pick up a kid like Keith Marshall.

We weren't bargain shopping for a RB in this years draft. We stuck to our board and didn't overpay for one.

I think he has to wait another year

I think Chubb does too

True.

Gimme Alex Collins. Runs in a pro-style offense at Arkansas...good pickup in the 2nd round probably.

He's not draft eligible until 2017. Didn't realize Chubb wasn't either. Thought he was a Jr.

No thanks. I like Collins for sure. But he runs in a power run scheme. So he does not fit our scheme

 

[JoeKing]

I bet we don't even draft a RB in 2016.

 

[Alexander]

I like Booker myself.

A little on the old side (23) for me.

I think Booker's value is in the 3rd round/4th round range. Someone will probably jump on him earlier but if he lasts that long, the value justifies the age issue IMO.

I saw him live at the Tennessee game last week and he's very impressive. He's very shifty for a bigger guy at 5'11 215. He can stop on a dime and change direction along with break tackles with power. I'd certainly take him as a value guy in the 3rd round range.

That would be appropriate, but some of the draftniks were saying late first/early second earlier in the summer. That's too high for a 23 year old back.

Nick Chubb suffered as career-threatening as any knee injury I've ever seen.
