Quote:I had to dig through my file cabinet and find my hard copy. I'll not only give you my top 3-4 RB's, I'll give you my entire list. Some I hit on, some I didn't. I didn't even have Thomas Rawls on my draft list, so that was a big whiff. Anyway, here it is.....

 

 

1. Jay Ajayi, Boise State

2. Melvin Gordon, Wisconsin

3. Todd Gurley, Georgia

4. Tevin Coleman, Indiana

5. David Johnson, Northern Iowa

6. Ameer Abdullah, Nebraska

7. Jeremy Langford, Michigan State

8. Duke Johnson, Miami (Fla) 

9. Buck Allen, USC

10. Cameron Artis-Payne, Auburn

11. Karlos Williams, Florida State

12. Josh Robinson, Mississippi State

13. Rob Kelly, Tulane

14. Mike Davis, South Carolina

15. David Cobb, Minnesota

16. Terrence McGee, LSU

What a talented RB class!

 

  Thanks for your efforts with this.

 

  Even though we disagree on some NFL players and prospects in general at times,  which is more than fine,   I really enjoy reading your takes.

 

  When it comes to rating players in a draft,  even the top NFL people are going to miss on some.

 

  Character concerns probably led to Thomas Rawls not being drafted.   Yet,  with a deep RB draft class,   he probably wouldn't have gone before the mid rounds at the earliest if he didn't have any red flags.

 

  Ameer Abdullah was performing at a high level early this season before going down with a foot injury that landed him on I.R.  

 

  It will be interesting to see how long Jay Ajayi's career is going to last.   But for now,  he certainly has provided the Dolphins with tremendous draft and overall value this season.   

 

  The Cardinals certainly have received great value for David Johnson,  who arguably is a top 5 all around NFL RB.
