Welp. Looks like we need a RB.
So who looks good in this upcoming draft?

Mike Weber out of Ohio State if he declares and Ryquell Armstead of Temple are two of my favorites. I'll add more tomorrow... I'm tired.

Been pouring through my list of RBs...
So, this list is loaded with Juniors because the senior talent is very non-existent. We'll have to see who ends up declaring but here goes. 1. David Montgomery - Iowa State. A junior... He's a beast. Absolutely a clone in terms of what you seen from Hunt coming out. Doesn't fumble. Effective as both a runner and receiver. Incredibly balanced and fights through contact. Has the stride to break away in the open field. Really good vision, making alot of chicken salad out of chicken shit. 2. Mike Weber - Ohio State Also a Junior. Hard runner and good receiver. Will break first contact. Good balance. Excellent open-field ability and can take it to the house. The back OSU relies on when they need the tough yards too. 3. Ryquell Armstead - Temple Good burst through the hole and good balance but not as much as the two above. Gets yards after contact. Good receiver out of the backfield. Homerun ability. 4. Benny Snell Jr. - Kentucky A junior with solid vision and good balance and power. Good breakaway stride. He's patient, which is good, but not quite as decisive to get downhill as the 3 I have above him. 5. Jordan Scarlett - Florida Another Junior. Definitely some legal history with a mary jane arrest as a freshman and the credit card fraud scam involvement but he's a talented player. I like both of Florida's backs (also Lamical Perine) but Scarlett is by far the most talented. He has great burst and power to go with good vision and he's a good receiver. Far better break away speed than Perine and hits the hole much faster. 6. Devin Singletary - Florida Atlantic Kind of a Maurice Jones-Drew type. Very short and stocky. He's got solid vision, speed, balance, power and agility. I really like his first step burst once he picks the hole. . Certainly size is the biggest concern because the kid can run. There are alot of complementary backs in this year's class that I don't think you can put in as a feature guy and Andy has traditionally had a feature back. Sure, he dabbles with the receiving back types but he usually puts the bulk of the load on one guy. This is the reason I've excluded some talented players like Bryce Love, Myles Gaskin, and Justice Hill. |

Finding this thread somewhat comforting in this hour of need. Thanks for the breakdown, kccrow.

This, and I'm a Hawk fan. Both looked really good in their bowl games.

This class is nothing compared to how deep the last 2 were. Still some good options though.

Agree with Bubsy, this class is nowhere near what it was the past few seasons. It's going to take a bunch of Juniors declaring to make it respectable.

The bonus for KC on that is the RB demand is super low so they should have some real quality options to go through in the Spring without having to make a big investment. If there's a silver lining in all of the crap situation, that would be it. |

Couple of guys I like who are not mentioned yet...
KeShawn Vaughn out of Vanderbilt. Good receiver and explosive in the open field. Has pretty good balance. Should be available in 4th or later. Josh Jacobs out of Alabama. He's the No. 3 guy in that rotation, but he has breakaway speed and great balance. 3rd rounder right now who might combine his way into the 2nd.

Miles Sanders out of Penn State as well if he declares. Also a Jr but only 1 year starting after sitting behind Barkley.

I wouldn’t trump our defensive needs in the draft for RB—but I hope we can snag a guy similar to Hunt. Someone who can catch it well and close out games with some tough running. Any RB is going to face light boxes as long as they’re loaded at receiving positions and Mahomes is QB, so having that hard to tackle back was so nice.
