How accurate do you think this is? Would it be possible/smart for a RB to go this high these days (even one as talented as LF7)?

Right now I'd say he looks good around the top 5, he's the best player but RBs are valued lower than some other positions.

These things are so fluid though, it can change in the blink of an eye.

They're projecting 3 Tigers in the top 10 with Malachi at #9 and Neal at #10. There will be some enormous expectations next year

As long as Gurley keeps wrecking shite for the Rams, it makes having a feature back more attractive.

Malachi at #9, Lewis Neal at #10, godchaux #28, pocic #32

3 rbs in the top 8 is not very realistic, just like 5 in the first round isn't either

RBs aren't valued as much anymore but if Gurley can be drafted where he was hurt I don't see why this is out of the question.

All this depends on the need of the team that's picking. If LF doesn't get pick in the top 5, that's absolutely no knock on his as a player.

This

The "don't draft a RB until the 5th round" argument is stupid. LF ain't T-Rich and if a team passes on him simply because he's a RB, the next team will just scoop him up.

He's a once in a lifetime player even if he was a bust (which he won't be) you cant't pass up the chance to have a guy like that on your team

barring any injuries problems, he should definitely be #1 pick.

Good Lord....

Pocic could move up the rankings with the quickness if he moves to tackle as well.

If he stays healthy I can see him going number 1. Its scary but LFs game is a better fit in an NFL offense, the guy is a tremendous receiver (did you know that Les?)and can run inside or outside.

very underrated and not seen a lot, i think they will use that skill to exploit bama's defense.

No way Neal will be a first round draft pick. I think he makes an NFL team, but he just doesn't have the measurables to go that high IMO.

Malachi has the potential, but he needs to show a little bit more before he goes that high either. I think if Dural leaves and he becomes our true #1 next year it's a possibility though.
