RB Bishop Sankey, Washington -- In a draft that has no clear cut RB atop the positional rankings, many different RBs have been floated as "the guy." One of them has been Sankey, but I see Sankey as a potential star in a "running backs by committee" approach, where he is expected to carry a good percentage of the load, but not expected to be the guy running the show. Sankey's primary characteristic is his vision. He has outstanding patience, knows where the holes in the OL are going to be before they open, and can accelerate in a heartbeat. He doesn't seem to have elite speed, but it's still pretty great, and as I mentioned he can turn it on very quickly. But he doesn't seem to be particularly elusive, and he can't break tackles. There's not a lot of yardage after contact in a Sankey highlight package. I'd say he's a 2nd day pick.
