Running Back Vulnerability Index

[Farley]

I must say I'm surprised no mention of Fournette. I have a share of Leonard but I think it is pretty obvious his receptions are going to go way down with the new regime. He produced numbers by sheer volume especially receptions, he was not efficient and I do not see Gruden using him like he was used last year. A 3rd down back or two will be coming to the Jaguars through draft or free agency.

Skins fan here. Let me tell you, Jay Gruden LOVES Chris Thompson. Absolutely loves him. I dont know if the Jags FO will listen, but I promise you he is in their ear trying to bring him in and if they do, he'll steal a lot of those receptions and 5-8 carries per game...for however long he stays healthy.

So Fournette will be fine for the other 14 games?

Well yeah, lol.

Good list.

Only one question...value decrease significantly why bother with Rojo on the list at all? I mean can anyone even get a mid-2nd?

I like the idea but if they ain't worth a 1st now how much value can you possibly lose?

It’s a good point. There’s an argument that RoJo is already priced at his downside. I still think his value craters further if TB takes Swift in the first.

If the bucs don’t draft a RB, and since they let go of Barber, RoJo could have a pretty high ceiling this year

That is very true. Lots of upside lots of downside. He's a hold for me at his current price. 99% of people think he's getting replaced, so his price already reflects that.

Bucs RB room:

Ronald Jones
T.J. Logan
Dare Ogunbowale
Aca'Cedric Ware?

Crazier things have happened, but it seems like a lock that the Buccaneers draft an RB.

It’s not necessarily even that he’s going to be replaced. The team is 100% bringing someone else in and specifically looking for a passing down specialist, but is not limiting themselves to just that. Its hard to believe that the someone else would be less of a threat than Barber and Rojo struggled to even pass him.

Which FA RB are left?

Depends on what you're looking for, but DFree, Hyde,Lamar Miller, Theo Riddick, Chris Thompson, Frank Gore, LeSean McCoy, Bilal Powell are eye catching. That ignores cut or trade candidates such as (potentially) Rex Burkhead.

Would add Booker and Washington as well.

Aaron Jones
I think jones is actually UNDERRATED and I dont see GB spending high draft capital on a RB, they need recievers more

3%Austin Ekeler
Loss of gordon is a big plus, losing rivers is a negative. Maybe a small decrease but not much. Chance they draft a new RB

5%Devin Singletary
Honestly just don't think I'm overly talented

8%Todd Gurley
New surrounds, team tre ding up not down Better QB, better wrs. Indoor and back in georgia. Could be a special season

5%Kerryon Johnson
Underrated as it is

10%Le'Veon Bell
He got paid, he's down. Probably grind out his contract with mediocre seasons

3%David Montgomery
See singletary

3%Kenyan Drake
Goona be a big year for this guy. I liked him a lot out of college but hes even surpassed my wildest expectations

2%Marlon Mack
Dont see how indy won't grab a top back, they seem to be in a win now mode

4%James Conner
Never thought he could carry the load as a lead back. Pitt will definitely replace him in the 2nd

12%Derrius Guice
I have no freaking idea - a push

3%Chris Carson
He's a JAG and I dont mean a jaguar

5%Damien Williams
He'll be splitting Carrie's in a time share

12%Darrell Henderson
I am the leader of the don't draft Henderson in the 1st round of a rookie draft. But with Gurley gone and no 1st or 2nds itsiterally impossible his stock hasnt risen

8%Ronald Jones
See singletary and add 300%

The 3 in bold I don't see. Everything I hear from Indy is they are quite happy with Mack. I'd be shocked if they drafted a back in the 2nd or 3rd round. WR is a much bigger need for them, and this class is loaded with depth that would suit them at that stage of the draft.

Gurley being on turf isn't going to help his knee, and the idea of a special season is a pipe dream for Gurley owners, sorry.

KJ isn't a lead back in the NFL. He's a committee back. The Lions need to address the position, and most likely will, as they don't have much behind KJ. Both the Lions and Falcons coach, and GM are being told put up or shut up by ownership. I expect both teams to draft a back. I can't see Quinn and Dimotroff pinning their jobs on Gurley without a signifcant back to be part of that RB room. There is nothing behind him, and if he goes down or his knee starts swelling up again, they are not going to have a viable option to step in.

Just my 2 cents. The rest I agree with for the most part. Thanks for taking the time to go so in depth.
