bpwallace49 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Not their fantasy value exactly, but how does everyone rank the RBs pre-draft? This obviously will change after we know where everone is going, but any thoughts right now? I was very high on Ben Tate pre-combine and he has really shot up the rankings, IMO. I have a friend that is all over Anthony Dixon and insists he can be a 2nd round pick, but to me the guy is a 10th highest RB at best . . .

Infinity Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'm big on Best, spiller is another great RB though. Nevertheless, you can never ever ever figure out which RB will be best, Greene was drafted in the 3rd round i believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More looking at the first year and how they stack up pre-draft Aside= Is McCluster going to play WR or RB in the pros? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I bet if Best had zero healthy/injury concerns that he'd be the top RB. He's Spiller with better inside running skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanzs Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 My first choice is whoever ends up with the Chargers. I also think that whoever goes to the Dolphins has a chance to shine, as Ronnie & Ricky are getting old. Maybe not so much during their rookie year, but for dynasty purposes, gimme some of that! Likewise, imagine if Javid Best goes to the Packers. That offense would be siiiick with Chris Johnson type of speed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Weak class - if looking for "the go to guy" I'd take Mathews over any other but none grab me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 if Tait goes to the Chargers he will be a top 5 overall rb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not so much during their rookie year, but for dynasty purposes, gimme some of that! I'm wondering if a player already on their roster, Lex Hilliard, isn't that guy.

Menudo Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Weak class - if looking for "the go to guy" I'd take Mathews over any other but none grab me at all. I really like Matthews and think he is going to be a GREAT NFL running back. As always though, where he lands will determine how quickly he succeeds. We started college fantasy football last year, which was unbelievably fun by the way, and I had Matthews, so, I got to watch him a lot. Of course, you have to consider the level of competition he was seeing, play for Fresno, but, he seemed to have all of the skills needed.......speed, power, elusiveness. I think he will be the best of this class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a big tough Shonn Greene did wonders in a very physically offense. You have to evaluate the team and make the best choice for who will work with your team, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBroncos Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I bet if Best had zero healthy/injury concerns that he'd be the top RB. He's Spiller with better inside running skills. Remember Wells injuries that plagued his college career really hampered his draft position (31st overall really isn't that bad, but he could have been a top 10 draft pick without the injury concerns) but he surely could make a big bang this year.
