2018 RB's

[ncfan]

Really talented group this past season for 2017 but the 2018 class could be even better.

 

Saquan Barkley- projected top 5,  comparison Zeke and Joe Mixon (who i had as a top 10 guy this year talent wise). 5'11 228 4.4 guy. Great quickness and vision and not afraid to run someone over.  He blew up last year, see how he caps it off this season.

 

Derrius Guice- Projected 1st, comparison  Marshawn Lynch.  Lynch 5'11 215 Guice 5'11 218.  Overshadowed by Fournette his whole crew, this kid is a beast not many know about.  Like Lynch he isn't a burner but has speed to take it to the house.  Guice is one of if not the best RB to square up and run defenders over.  Kid is literally beast mode 2.0

 

Royce Freeman- Projected rounds 2-3, comparison poor man's Jonathon Stewart. Kid was hyped as the next J-Stew, 230 4.45 guy.  Was thought to be a 1st round guy this last draft.  His sophomore season he rushed for 1,836 and 17 TD  with 348 rec yards.  His junior year he had some major locker room issues and his stock took a major hit, so he returned for his senior season.

LJ Scott- hyped as the next big RB to come out of MSU after Bell.  Kid was hyped up a Ton to be the next Bell.  Very similar size and athletic ability.  Scott didn't quite match the hype as a freshman and had a quiet sophomore year only going for 994 in 12 games.  He showed the flash briefly vs Ohio State squad.  The Ohio State squad loaded with NFL talent, Scott went off for 160 rushing and 76 receiving.

Bo Scarborough- another big Bama back.  Big tall long strider RB very much like Derrick Henry.

Mike Weber- the guy who was expected to come in and take over the role Zeke left. Ran for 1,096 last year but was overshadowed by Curtis Samuel who was all over the field.  Most people are projecting him to go off this season

Nick Chubb- kid was Awesome but after the injury he just hasn't been the same.  Stock has taken a hit.

Sony Michel- expect him to go higher than Chubb.  Has the speed and quickness Chubb doesn't have.

If Hurney's still here we probably trade up for Guice.

[Hoenheim]

Irrelevant to us unless we're drafting a power back to replace stew

[pantherphan96]

Guice would be the perfect replacement for Stew but I doubt we draft RB's in the 1st round in back-to-back years. He should go top 10.

[Dilla]

If draft one again, I assume it would strictly be a power guy.

[Pantha-kun]

If McCaffrey does well and Stewart stays healthy, I seriously doubt we draft a RB. If we do it might be a late round power back. 

Hell honestly if they had decided to clean RB house this offseason and ended up let Stew and CAP go (along with Tolbert obviously) , I wouldn't have been against a McCaffrey + Perine combo or McCaffrey and James Conner. Or it could have been perfect if we drafted Derrick Henry last year instead of Vernon Butler, and drafted McCaffrey this year.
