With the new season soon upon us, I want to talk running backs. It used to be an unwritten rule to draft running backs in the first round. However in the NFL, teams now have multiple quality backs that share the load. I want to focus on the teams with primary backs that get the majority of carries, or the RBs deserving of a first round grade. Feel free to add or delete from these lists.
Primary backs that are deserving of a first round pick:
Chris Johnson
Adrian Peterson
Michael Turner
Maurice Jones Drew
Ray Rice
Frank Gore
Guys that are primary backs with a little something to prove (would you pick any of these guys over a top QB or WR?):
Rashard Mendenhall
Ryan Mathews
Cedric Benson
Matt Forte
Knowshon Moreno
Ryan Grant
Shonn Greene
RBs that I have questions about:
Jamaal Charles: He was almost a lock for my 1st round list until KC picked up Thomas Jones. Jerhart, you got any insight into the RB situation in KC this year?
Jerome Harrison: This guy killed it at the end of last year, but Cleveland drafted Montario Hardesty. Any Browns fans here that can chime in on Cleveland's Running Backs?
Feel free to chime in fellow FFBers, who are you targeting at the Running Back position this year?
