Which RB will have the best career in the NFL?

[Golden Spur]

Eddie Lacy
Gio Bernard
Le'Veon Bell
Andre Ellington
Jonathan Franklin
Montee Ball
Marcus Lattimore

I went with Montee Ball. He's a game breaker but is also tough and gritty between the tackles. Although, I have to confess Bell is a pure beast.

My instinct is Lattimore, if he stays healthy. But Ithink Franklin could be potentially the best one on this list.

It depends on where they go. I picked Montee because I think he is the most solid, but I think Lacy has the most upside and best ability to thrive behind a bad line. Franklin and Bell aren't far behind. None of these guys are sure things.

Best by what metric?

 

[Golden Spur]

Best by what metric?

Invent one - yards/longevity/playoff appearances. That last one's tricky, but it's an offseason thread anyway, lol.

 

[Clayton]

Smart has it right - it depends on where they go. Bernard should be the best if he stays healthy but if Lacy goes to a team with a good/great oline, he might have a Larry Johnson type career in him.

Ball will be the worst of the bunch. Lacy will be the 2nd worst. Had to stop in the middle of his position drills today because he was so out of shape. Wouldn't spend a 3rd on him.

I voted for Franklin. He'll need to add a little bulk in the pros, but he's a monster. IMO he should be the first RB off the board.

That said, if not for injuries, Lattimore would be one of the best RBs in the NFL by his 3rd year. He was a truly special RB. I hope he recovers fully.
