6. Trent Richardson -- Maurice Jones-Drew led the league in rushing yards in the NFL's worst offense last year. Cleveland's "supporting cast" is a minor obstacle. Richardson offers elite talent and workload, and is every bit worth a mid to late first-round fantasy selection.


how often do Rookie RBs pan out to expectations?

I got burned once by JJ Arrington..never drafting another rookie in my first 8 picks

Doug Martin is also gonna go pretty high in most drafts. Another 5'9'' RB looking to get most of the work in Tampa Bay's run game.

Maybe I'm just wary after being burnt by Ingram last year (yes I realize TRs in a completely different situation n Cle), but I don't see how he's goin off the board in the 1st. You're 1st pick has to be a sure thing & i'm sure as hell not risking my 1st pik in a rookie RB in the that offense.

Who has him ranked 6th? Most I've seen have him 10-12

Wouldn't touch him with a 10foot stick. Mostly because of where he is going. I'd take him in the 5th, but not the 1st-2nd.
