2023 NFL Draft: Running Back Class

[Clayton]

I had him late in my mock.

2 running backs gone in 1st round - only 2 1st round quality.
Think we go through the 2nd round without a RB taken?

I think Charbonnet goes rd2 for sure. Maybe Achane. Maybe Spears.

 

[WNY_FOOTBALL_DUDE]

We're probably going to see a run off on RBs tonight. Whoever gets Kendre Miller probably got a steal on their hands. Honestly I don't really see how he's different than Gibbs or Robinson.

All Dallas thinks Kendre will be a cowboy. Best hornfrog in this draft...BUT, he ain't Robinson or Gibbs. He is however a perfect compliment to Pollard.

Roschon was my favorite pick by the Bears, at least relative to when he was taken in the draft. Been reading a lot about him and watching game film highlights. I find it interesting that his biggest fan is his now former teammate, Bijan Robinson. Thinks the world of him.

No do overs

Finally Dallas drafts a 3rd day guy I really wanted.

I thought of you when I saw the pick. Deuces are wild!

I think Chase Brown and Kendre Miller have a chance of being pretty good.

Definitely. Those guys had very good tape. I am a little surprised Sean Tucker from Cuse didn't get drafted.

 

[Battlelyon]

I'm really looking forward to seeing what Evans can do.

 

[Clayton]

I'm really looking forward to seeing what Evans can do.

Of the late round RBs, he is the one that stands out. He was a highly touted prospect.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Time will tell but the Charbonnet pick might be a good one for Seattle. Gives us a really good 1-2 punch with Walker and Charbonnet is also a solid pass blocker/ pass catcher when needed. Just have to see whether Geno continues to improve or regresses. I think he will be fine but it's a question mark. Very unpredictable at this stage.

Mini-me? He looks tiny even by himself, without a bigger player near him. No concerns on day 3 though.

Solid prospect, I just wonder about 2 2nd rounders splitting the carries. Seems like a lot of draft capital spent at RB.

Me too. I had kinda ignored him during the lead up to the draft for whatever reason, probably the lack of receiving reps.

Heart & Desire are powerful tools. He & Sprouls are very close friends. He'll be fine.

How did Sproles' career end again?

Bijan is probably the focal point for the Falcons offense
Kenneth Walker and Charbonnet should be a good 1-2 punch
Roschon Johnson could be the RB1 for the Bears by season end. Could be filling in where Montgomery left off

True but they were our 3rd and 4th off the board respectively. And this does give the team protection if Walker gets hurt again. He was limited some in the back half last year.
