Let's talk running backs

[PocketKings]

If not, do I get a spanking?

[NormSizedMidget]

Absolutely not

[Wrench]

Joseph Randle, RB, Oklahoma State
Giovanni Bernard, RB, North Carolina
Mike Gillislee, RB, Florida
Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon

Honestly, I don't think there is a single RB now with Lattimore hurt worth a 1st round grade or an early-to-mid 2nd round grade.

I can buy mid 2nd round, but otherwise, I think this is such a poo class for RB's.

Its good news for any free agent running backs because this is a sorry draft class for running backs.

I don't know I think there is some talent there. Lattimore going down really hurts but I still think there is a good amount of talent coming out.

But not so that a team needing a running back and go into the season counting on a 3rd-4th round pick.

Depends on what team your talking about. My Packers would gladly take a 3rd-4th round pick at RB and start him. We got nothing else.

Love Gillislee. Think he would do pretty darn well in the Lions offense.

[steelcityroller]

There are gonna be some veterans hit the market. If DeAngelo Williams doesn't get traded he is gonna be cut in the offseason. Chris Johnson could possibly be released in March because if the Titans keep him on the roster past March then his salary for 2013 and 2014 is gauranteed and I can't see them do that considering that his production is at nowhere near the level that got him that contract.

Here's my top 5:

Joseph Randle, Oklahoma State
Giovanni Bernard, North Carolina
Mike Gillislee, Florida
Le'Veon Bell, Michigan State
Stepfan Taylor, Stanford

*Bonus
Michael Dyer, Auburn/Arkansas State

Not sure where I'd have Dyer in the rankings (probably around 7th after the aforementioned guys and Andre Ellington), but I watched the kid at Auburn for two years in person. If he didn't have that weird off-field stuff where he left two separate programs, he'd probably be the number 1 back in the class without Lattimore around. Someone is going to take him and get a ton of value

Stepfan Taylor, Stanford

Someone explain the obsession.

Yes, I need to hear this as well. I see a Brandon Jackson in the making with this guy.

Any Jahvid Best types out there? Someone who's very fast and a good receiver?

Do they have to have been knocked clean out on the field for 3 minutes?

Watching this Notre Dame vs Pittsburgh game, I'm coming away really impressed with Ray Graham of Pitt.
He's got really good vision, patient, nice burst and runs with some surprising power.
