The more I watch this RB group, the more I believe its overrated. That's not to say it isn't good, as I think the top 3/4 can be very good RBs. I just don't think it warrants one at 4.

 

Fournette - Not a big fan of him making people miss when there's penetration. Put him in Dallas behind that OL and watch him run amock. Put him in ours where he has to dance in the backfield? That's enough of a concern for me.

 

Cook - Lack of pure strength, and injury and off-field issues lowers his grade.

 

McCaffrey - sneaky good all-around back. I think some will wonder if he's a 3 down guy. Love him in top of round 2, but he won't be there.

 

Mixon - good all-around RB with blend of the three above. But...he does not excel in any one particular trait. Is he closer to Bell, Forte, or Yeldon? The more I watch him, the more I think he's somewhere between Forte and Yeldon.

 

For the record, I would be thrilled to land any of the top three if we were drafting in mid or late 1st round. Mixon in the late 3rd/4th round.
