All RB's are Schrödinger's RB's.

It's like he only thought about the first 7 or 8 and then just randomly wrote down names lol

I know Fournette has had his problems the past few years but he should be higher than 16 on this list.

Dr. Strangelove · Jun 18, 2019

Looks like he is another TV guy with high expectations for Lev Bell. We'll have to wait and see on that but I'm not sure I'd have him ranked quite that high.

Iggloo · Jun 18, 2019

I think it is a decent snapshot of conventional wisdom. It will surely be way wrong, but it shows the expectations some have based on past performance.

My take, James Conner and Derrick Henry way too low, Kerryon Johnson and Christian McCaffrey way too high.

By the end of the next season, David Montgomery will be top 10 on these lists.

The 136 running backs who were drafted from 2012-2018 have a meatier average: 88 carries, 371 yards, 4.2 yards per carry, 2 1/2 touchdowns. Or, another way: That’s about a third of Howard’s 2018 totals (250 carries, 935 yards, 9 touchdowns) while improving his average yards per carry by a half yard.
 
Drilling deeper: Third round running backs — 18 players, highlighted by Hunt — put together an average season of 108 attempts, 473 yards (4.4 yards per attempt) and 2.9 touchdowns. That feels like a good starting point for Montgomery, especially if he’s being used as part of a time-share with Mike Davis and Tarik Cohen.
 
Perhaps something closer to what Arizona’s David Johnson did his rookie year is better, adding a few more carries and removing a couple of touchdowns (125 carries, 581 yards, 4.7 yards per carry, 8 touchdowns). If that’s what Montgomery winds up doing in 2019, it’ll be an improvement over Howard — and an even more pronounced one if Davis winds up being effective, too.

I just have one thought.

Could you imagine if McCaffrey was on the Chiefs! :eek:

That would be a nightmare.

Pure Steel · Jun 18, 2019

I’d rather listen to a bottle of MGD before anything MJD has to say......

That would be nuts. Reminds me of the Giants taking that LT in the supplemental USFL letting Philly get Reggie White next. Imagine a young Reggie White paired with a young Lawrence Taylor... jeezus!

McCaffrey on the Chiefs would be incredible. And why is LeSean McCoy waaaaaay down this list?

RBs do matter for the running game.

Phillip Lindsay & David Johnson are criminally low. I'd even put Lamar Miller & Devonta Freeman much higher.
