byron2112 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Obviously absent team, situation etc... but I thought it'd be interesting to rank the incoming backs based on pure pro potential... including ability to carry the load, 3 down, etc... basically ability to get the most touches with the most effectiveness.. 1)Saquon Barkley 2)Rashaad Penny 3)Derrius Guice 4)Ronald Jones 5)Sony Michel 6)Royce Freeman 7)Nick Chubb 8)Kerryon Johnson 9)Josh Adams 10)Kalen Ballage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdko Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I agree with your #1 and 2. People are still sleeping on Penny, as long as he doesn't land in a black hole he'll make a name for himself. I'd have Chubb, and Michel at 3 and 4, respectively. Guice, and Johnson following at 5, and 6. Haven't seen too much of the other guys tbh.

Dcat Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) here is mine: Top tier: 1 - Saquon Barkley 2nd tier: 2 - Derrius Guice 3 - Ronald Jones II 4 - Sony Michel 5 - Nick Chubb 3rd tier: 6 - Rashaad Penny 7 - "Rolls" Royce Freeman 8 - Kerryon Johnson all go in rounds 1-3. I like every single one of those 8. They will be solid backs in the NFL. After that, there is a big drop off Edited April 11, 2018 by Dcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 primarily situational, and format dependent (redraft, dynasty, keeper). waiting until after the the nfl draft to rank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdko Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I dunno, I just don't see what everyone's crazy about with Guice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I don't want to give out their analysis for free, but I'll throw PFF's top five RBs out to add to the discussion: 1. SAQUON BARKLEY, PENN STATE 2. RONALD JONES II, USC 3. RASHAAD PENNY, SDSU 4. NICK CHUBB, GEORGIA 5. SONY MICHEL, GEORGIA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like his stock keeps rising and rising EDIT: Watched his career highlights, he runs a lot like Penny. One, two moves, then gone. That elite breakaway speed. I'm down with the hype and like PFF's list. Edited April 12, 2018 by kdko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
