Which RB outside of the Top-5 will be the steal of rookie drafts?
Other than the first 5 RBs selected (Edwards-Helaire, Taylor, Dobbins, Swift, Akers), which RB do you think overachieves the most and becomes a big value?

Gibson. I know I know, drafted as a WR, but that backfield is chock full of nobodies/twilight guys after an unproven Guice (Love, Barber, Peterson). I love Guice, but if he goes down again expect Gibson to take over RB duties and I’m here for it.

Re: Which RB outside of the Top-5 will be the steal of rookie drafts?
Of the ones listed above? Dillon easily. I liked his profile coming in and I think he'll do well in the GB offense. Here's some rough notes I made on other rookie RBs when I did early scouting, who I also might target later in drafts:
=============================================
Joshua Kelly (Chargers) - Smart & mature kid, more advanced than his peers. Worked hard on his skills and it shows. Doesn’t have quite the talent as the top guys but his hard work has made up for it. Quality late pick, will work well in RBBC. 4 year guy.
DeeJay Dallas (Seahawks) - Tape looks great, combine didn’t match. Suffered an arm injury as a junior which probably scared him into declaring for the draft early. Power runner, lacks full talent, but has decent skills to make up for it. Could be a surprise starter for a few years if he goes to a smart/developed coaching staff.
===================
DeeJay Dallas is intriguing because the Seahawks have a history of playing the best player regardless of draft stock. I like Kelly specifically because of where he landed. I think the RBBC approach will help him. I'm pretty much avoiding anybody else unless they are a handcuff.

True, but he couldn't beat out Travis Homer who is also on the roster. Seems like a JAG to me.dlf_mikeh wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 5:50 pm Of the ones listed above? Dillon easily.

Re: Which RB outside of the Top-5 will be the steal of rookie drafts?
Evans will be a great player if Henry were to ever go down. Has really great measurable traits, but doesn't come from a Power 5 school. Lots of offensive production.
The interesting thing is he isn't a pass catching back, so he doesn't compliment Henry in that respect, but if Henry ever held out... boom.

Re: Which RB outside of the Top-5 will be the steal of rookie drafts?
He would never be used as their lead back IMO. Really struggles between the tackles. The want to run it down peoples throats. He's a COP back IMO.Snickers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 6:33 pm Evans will be a great player if Henry were to ever go down. Has really great measurable traits, but doesn't come from a Power 5 school.

Vaughn for immediate value due to passing game work. Not sure why so many people are low on him. RoJo sucks, especially as a pass catcher.
In general though I like Moss. Seems like the most complete back to me
