It’s February, meaning the NFL draft season is heating up. In just a few days time (February 24-March 1) the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine kicks off and then after that it’s just Pro Days and private workouts leading up to the NFL Draft in April. Before you know it, the Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the league will have made their draft selections. My how quickly time passes.
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves though, I thought it was as good a time as any to share with you my top-10 Positional Rankings for each group. As I continued to watch film and evaluate these prospects, expect these rankings to shift and evolve leading up to Draft Day.
Today, let’s look at the running back position.
POSITIONAL RANKINGS
(Updated 3/16/2020)
Offense: QB | RB | WR | TE | OT | IOL
Defense: EDGE | IDL | LB | CB | S
| PLAYER | POS | SCHOOL | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | D’Andre Swift | RB | Georgia |
| 2. | Jonathan Taylor | RB | Wisconsin |
| 3. | J.K. Dobbins | RB | Ohio State |
| 4. | Clyde Edwards-Helaire | RB | LSU |
| 5. | Cam Akers | RB | Florida State |
| 6. | Zack Moss | RB | Utah |
| 7. | Antonio Gibson | RB | Memphis |
| 8. | Eno Benjamin | RB | Arizona State |
| 9. | Lamical Perine | RB | Florida |
| 10. | Darrynton Evans | RB | Appalachian State |
Vaughn will be a steal for someone. Better than Eno and. Cam by far. I’d agree with 4 in this poll… Will be muchhhh better than Moss. I’m not particularly high on Taylor at NFL level.
Overall, this is a really intriguing RB class. There are some good players, but opinions will definitely vary as to how to rank them.
