I think there's a lot of value this year throughout the mid-rounds and even into the late stages again.
I think there's another guy out there similar to Antonio Gibson that has low miles but didn't run a 4.39, he ran a 4.65... but you watch the tape and he's pretty electric is Javon Leake out of Maryland. Might be a guy to watch. Could carve out a Tevin Coleman-like committee role. Don't think he's a full-time feature guy but you never know.
I think Lamical Perine (Florida), Rodney Smith (Minnesota), DeeJay Dallas (Miami), Xavier Jones (SMU), Scottie Phillips (Ole Miss) and Michael Warren (Cincinnati) would be the guys I'd put the most stock into being value picks or UDFA pickups that make a dent in the league.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Dobbins and Swift and so forth, but I don't think you need to put that kind of capital into a RB and I especially don't think you do so with a team that is strongly a pass-first team like KC.

I agree that there is value all over this draft for the RB position. That said, I'd be stoked to have Swift. Other guys I like a lot are Moss and Gibson, others on this board have mentioned these two as well. I'm sure the other 8 or so quality RBs in this draft are just as good or maybe better in some ways, seems like we can't lose this year if we grab a runner.
I think WR, DB, RB are super deep this year.
