How Many Round 1 / 2 RB's Next Year?

Can't wait to see how Ray Graham looks in a Paul Chryst, Wisconsin Badger-style running attack...

To be honest, I kinda forgot about him til just now. Definitely a guy I'm gonna keep my eye on this year and with Hayes (and Keenum) gone he should get a lot more work.

Yeah, he plays in a system where they obviously throw the ball a lot, but Sims is talented, catches the ball well and like you said has potential has an excellent zone scheme back because of his ability to put his foot in the ground and cut.

I think an underrated player is Stepfan Taylor from Stanford. Love how that kid runs.

I LOVE me some Ray Graham. His cutting ability is flat out special. It might not be totally realistic to expect but I really hope he can regain his old form coming off the knee surgery. A healthy Ray Graham may very well be the best RB in college football.

Joseph Randle from Oklahoma State is another guy I like. 1,216 yards rushing with 24 TDs to go with 43 catches is very nice. He's going to be a Jr and I think he could make the jump this year if he has another solid season. He could be one of the top RBs taken due to him being a good pass catcher.

And I think that is very telling as far as what scouts think of him at the next level altogether. There isn't anything he can do statistically to improve over last season.

This kid can really play, only going to be a Junior tho...

I really like Charles Sims. I think he is a much better pro prospect than Hayes. Can you tell me why he didn't play his sophomore year?

I also really like Kenjon Barner from Oregon. He will get a lot of the same criticisms that LaMichael James received coming out regarding the system he played in, but has great quickness and is a very good receiver out of the backfield. 2nd-3rd round.

Really good hands too. I believe he had an academic problem two years ago and that's why he sat out. It'll be interesting to see him this year with all the production they lost.

He was academically inelgible.
