Depends on where they land and what they have around them.

agree, I'd flip Zeke and Henry but nit-picking. Fournette and Cook could be NFL studs

McCaffery might be a good pro, but he will need to play

more than just RB. He's an elite play maker, but will need to be able to play in the slot at the next level to be effective.

I don't think so. People underestimate how good of a between the tackles runner he is. He didn't have a bunch of rushing TDs because Stanford does a lot PA to the TE in the redzone. Mccaffrey just needs to go somewhere that he doesn't have to be the guy. He could go start for the saints, Broncos, Cowboys, Patriots, packers, etc. you get the idea- with a top 10 QB he would be very effective . But then again this holds true for every skill players at isnt a QB

If I was drafting for us I would take McCaffrey. I really like what we have at RB right now, but his versatility could always be used and his presence in the kicking game would make us even more of a nightmare than we already are.
Overall, I would probably take Fournette and Cook.

I think Fournette is the closest to a sure thing. Cook might

have the biggest upside, but i think he also has pretty high bust/injury potential.

I go...

That is an amazing group and so much depends on the OL, but I will go in this order...
Leonard Fournette Ezekiel Elliott Derrick Henry Dalvin Cook (most talented, but could be injured too much) Christian McCaffrey (Sorry, but I haven't seen a great white RB in the NFL, so I just can't imagine it)

Henry is the same running back that Alabama has had for a decade. Nothing special. The same player as Richardson, Ingram, etc.

My money is on McCaffrey to the Pats

as a slot receiver. Reminds me of Welker, Edelman, and Amendola.
The other backs will all make it about the same in the NFL. Whoever stays injury free will find the most success. I would personally take my chances with Fournette as rb.

Follow up ?? Will Spiller ever have a good NFL career?
Dec 13, 2015, 1:32 PM

And, will Dalvin Cook have many of the same injury issues in the NFL?
