RB's 6 through 10-12ish are insanely good this year. Really interesting guys that will be available at a discount relative to what they would probably cost in a normal year, sheerly by positional scarcity (or lack thereof).
To further illustrate this in pictorial form, for the visually inclined...

Heh, yeah, we’re getting close to due on another great rookie rb class. I think the last ones were 2017 and then 2008 if I’m not mistaken.

It's a really fun class.

I'm already trying to upgrade my late 3rds into early 3rd/late 2nds... there's an awesome sweet spot there this year for fun dice roll guys that you'd typically spend an early-to-mid 2nd on. (imo)

And that's not just RB's, too... :wink:

Thoughts on Cameron Skattebo? I have a hunch (and that's all I got for now), that he will do great next season, even if he ends up a Day 3 pick. But I'm guessing that he goes on Day 2.

The comp is Mike Davis.

He's a psycho. Has some pass protection stuff to clean up, but at least his feet and positioning are in the right place for the most part.

Absolutely a guy that could go somewhere and start siphoning goal line carries at the very least.

Right, his footwork stood out to me, he moves fluidly, and has great vision. Those skills usually translate to the next level well.

To your point Mild, though a lot of people seem down overall on the class it may mesh well with some team's needs.

I for one am pretty excited for the RB depth, as I've got aging Chubb and Mixon on one team and need to get some youth behind them. This is shaping up to be a pretty good draft to do just that. Others that are in a similar situation and have multiple picks could be feeling the same way.

Sure, it's too bad we were spoiled with a great QB/WR draft last year. But they can't all be like that.
14 Team, No-PPR, 20 Man Roster, TD Heavy, TD = 6, FG = 3, Start: QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, Flex, K, D
QB: L. Jackson, B. Purdy
RB: J. Mixon, N. Chubb, J. Cook, J. McLaughlin, R. Davis, S. Tucker
WR: J. Chase, B. Thomas Jr., J. Reed, R. Odunze, C. Tillman, A. Iosivas
TE: TJ Hockenson, D. Njoku, T. Kraft,

14 Team, .5 PPR, 18 Man Roster, Rush/Rec TD = 6, Pass TD = 4, FG = 3, Start: QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, Flex, K, D
QB: L. Jackson, T. Tagovailoa
RB: B. Robinson, K. Walker, R. Stevenson, J. Wright, K. Vidal
WR: C. Olave, T. Higgins, B. Aiyuk, N. Collins, Z. Flowers, X. Worthy
TE: B. Bowers, K. Pitts

He is on my do not draft list. Breaks my 1st rule of drafting.

If skat is there at 36, I'll take him and quickly try to flip him for a 2026 second.

I just don't get excited when I watch him. Maybe he has a little run in the NFL. He is a rb afterall.,I see more average than not.

A season or two from a late pick.

Bye week fill in's are important. A solid bench will get you that bye into the semi's

Personally, there are other players I'm far more interested in this class than Skattebo. If it's a choice between them and him in that range, I won't be getting many shares. We'll have to see what happens in my drafts.

I view him as that classic Mike Davis sort of power back. There's no doubt he could see work and thrive. He's never going to be the sort of big play threat that would see him take over a backfield completely, though. (imo)

I think that his lack of top end speed is compensated by having above average hands. I see him as a Mark Ingram type player. I think him being white is holding him back. I’ll let other peoples stereotypes help put him on the majority of my teams. He’s going in a range that’s very obtainable
SF, PPR, 12 team, 12 player dynasty

QB- T Lawrence, J McCarthy (IR), B Nix, S Darnold (max 2 keepers, 3 rostered)
RB- Bijan Robinson, K Williams, T Pollard, A Ekeler, Z Charbonnet, B Allen, K Herbert
WR- C Lamb, T Hill, C Olave, R Shaheed, J Polk, L McCaffrey
TE- D Goedert, B Bowers

By the numbers, this is probably our best shot yet at this.

I still don't think we are giving this 2025 RB class the proper credit it deserves. Looking legit 20 deep, you can make a case for any of them depending on their landing spot.

20 deep until they start running 4.7's at the combine, lol. But yeah, hopefully it's legit, because i punted RB on both startups i did last year.
