Could you take a RB Not named Cook or Fournette over Willams and Davis?

[Dynastychamp111]

At the 1.4 and the top 3 are not budging. I need RB help, is there any scenarios where you are sitting at the 1.4 and the top 3 went Cook/Fournette/Davis and Williams seems to be the consensus pick at this position. But is there any scenario where you would take any other RB in the rookie draft over Williams? I like Davis > Williams. I am trying to trade back but I am not getting any interest except from the 1.10.

What if McCaffrey to the pats or Mixon to the Jets or Raiders? Interested to see what scenario would make someone pull the trigger over Williams. My gut says to take Williams and then just hammer my 2nd round picks on Rbs.

It's still so early but situation could certainly change things. Maybe not for me, but if Davis or Williams went to a team like Tampa Bay where he won't be the future #1 and a RB goes to a great place that certainly could happen.

After the draft it will be more clear but with your 1.4 pick i would take the best player available. Your pretty deep at WR so you could leverage that to acquire a solid RB.

What if Fournette goes to the 49ers , Cook to the Saints , McCaffrey to the Colts , Foreman to the Panthers ? That makes a confusing bunch to select from, and could lead many leagues to take 4 RBs before any WRs. Nothing is set yet. The top 4 is far from set.

Great point.

It depends on your general draft strategy. If you're a BPA guy, then I'd argue the top 4 is pretty set talent wise. Injuries, situations, and need are certainly things to consider, but usually this doesn't make a huge impact on my personal draft strategy overall. Fournette, Cook, Williams, and Davis are the top four talents in this class. JuJu is right behind there too. I would not personally take a RB with the 1.04 assuming Cook and Fournette are off the board.

[AlPal&Ange]

I personally would not move much around in the top 4. If you're hell bent on getting a RB, use the 1.04 as trade bait with another asset like Coleman, Doctson, or Tread to acquire a Gurley type RB, rather than reaching on a Mixon, Foreman, or McCaffery. Or, try and trade back and acquire an additional pick this year or next.

[HEADBANGER]

Team 1 in signature is RB desperate with the 1.3 and 1.11. I plan to take BPA when draft time since I am not going to contend in 2017.

Another league having 1.2 and 1.4 the decision of taking Cook, Fournette, Davis, Williams looks promising if that top 4 stays the same I'm licking my chops.

You should be able to move the 1.4 for a solid RB closer to the draft as things will pick up, things are kinda slow in most leagues while many owners catch a breather.

I personally cant see Fournette and Cook getting past the Panthers but if they do whomever the panthers decide to take at RB in the 2nd round could easily go 1.03.

Panthers arent the type of team to draft a high end RB; especially with the amount of later round talent that will still be there (freeman, Foreman, Clement, McCaffery....)

Colts, Eagles or Buccs are my guess for Cook...who knows about Fournette he could go at any pick...

I dissagree. The Panthers would be unstoppable on offense with cook or Fournette added to Cam. They tastes the promised land and came up short then they had a terrible season because the let go of a top CB and Cam was their whole running game. They will address either RB or CB in the 1st round. My money is one RB.

[Moncrief44]

Everything I read has Joe Mixon as the best RB prospect in this draft and would be better than Fournette & Cook if it had not been for his incident, which was terrible, but from a fantasy football standpoint and compared to LeVeon Bell... I'd easily take Mixon at 1.4. The guy is 20 years old, 6'2 225. He'll get drafted and his talent should win out. He's worth that pick IMO and I'm trying to keep that on the DL in my leagues. I have the 1.02 in one league and might take him there if he's drafted within the top 2 rounds. Like everyone else said though, see how the draft shakes out first though.

YES. I can't say Ill be taking him with my 1.01 or 1.03. But the way the things are playing out the top 4 studs and then McCaffery seem to be going top 5 in my league. That leaves me sitting on 1.06/1.09 and I don't think ill be able to pass on Mixon there. I will be devastated if he goes before my selection.

[maxhyde]

I might even take Williams over Cook so I may not be the guy to ask but there are plenty of RB in this draft. I would take whichever of the top 4 fall to you and reach on a RB with a later pick if you want. I think there will be plenty of RB options from 1.08-2.06/7 I would take a shot on rather than draft a McCaffery/Mixon type ahead of one of those WR's

[Payton34]

Without knowing where all of these guys go, it's impossible to say... But yes, there are a ton of scenarios where I could see taking RB3 in this draft over WR2.
