Which RB outside of the Top-5 will be the steal of rookie drafts?

[StripesOfKC]

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

Are you sure he beats out Dare right away for that role? I'm not.

Not certain at all but I feel like Dare had his shot last year and didn’t show much. Considering the draft capital, I think this is his replacement.
Can’t be sure of course but I think over the course of the year Vaughn will be the top receiving back in Tampa.

That Tampa backfield is going to come down to who shows best as a pass blocker in whatever pre-season activities actually happen.

That's my point about Dare. He's had at least a year in the system, and isn't a rookie. He may be more trusted on passing downs.

Vaughn is in his own tier after Akers then McFarland. I think McFarland has the most upside of the later backs bc he has decent size and speed. Plus we all know James Conner is made of glass

I figure Vaughn will settle as close to consensus RB6 once most rookie drafts start going. So it's hard to call him a steal if you have to take him at RB6, but I think he's the best option in a tier of his own.

After him, I like Dillon and McFarland, although both are probably waiting on an injury to really make some noise.
I also am very intrigued by Kelly, who I think will take the RB2 job from Jackson pretty easily. I don't know that they will give Ekeler a whole lot more carries than he received last year.

Deep sleeper is JaMycal Hasty from Baylor, going to SF. Wouldn't it be just like a Shannahan backfield if Mostert, Mckinnon, and Coleman are dinged up in week 12 and Hasty is going nuts?

I like Moss’ odds. I watch him run/catch and the guy I’m reminded of more than anyone else is Kareem Hunt’s college work product. A lot of the plus/minus reports on him are similar to Hunt’s 2017 pre-draft profile.

Since I hate the Rams RBs so much, I wanna make a mention of Xavier Jones & James Gilbert. These are two undrafted RBs who are now on the Rams roster. Each of these guys is similar in physical makeup and how they execute plays. I wouldn't be shocked to see one of these guys become someone worth owning.

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.

He was announced as an RB when he was drafted. Just sayin.

And a lot of sites have him at WR. I assume he will be used more as a RB as well though

He will be lined up everywhere. From all the nuggets I got during my pre NFL draft work, is that most teams viewed him as an RB. And then he was announced as one.
