-Jeremy Hill has averaged at least 7.1 yards per carry in every game but one this season (4.1 vs. UGA).

-He has scored a TD in every game and at least 2 in three games.

-He has big play ability and break away speed with runs of 54 yards, 58 yards, and 70 yards, while he will also run through you.

-There are the off field issues but that shouldn't hurt too much given he stays out of trouble.

I would put Lache Seastrunk, Kadeem Carey, and Bishop Sankey above him at this point but put him ahead of DeAnthony Thomas, Melvin Gordon, and James Wilder. I say right now he would go as a solid 3rd rounder maybe early 4th but could see him sneak into the 2nd if he continues building on what he has accomplished so far.

1st running back taken if he enters the draft. May even break 4.5 in the 40 at 235lbs.

The RB position isn't what it use to be in the NFL. Several other backs who are very talented without as much character concerns in the eyes of a GM. He could drop to the third easily IMO.

If he is clean off the field from now on until the draft, I say he does not slip out of the 2nd rd.

RB is not what it used to be, but you still have that group of 8-10 really top RBs (Foster, Gore, Peterson, Lynch, McCoy, etc.). If you don't get one of those guys, then yes, just go with RB by committee.

I think Hill has potential to be one of those 8-10 guys though. I think teams will see that and drool.

I'd love to say 1st round, but being a RB, probably more likely to go in the 2nd. Late 1st at the very best imo.

Hmm. The one good team we've played. I will wait until season end to think about this.

He'll be one of the top backs taken, if not the top back by the time spring rolls around.

this doesnt assure him of being a first round pick though.

My guess, 2nd round...also the second back taken

I think he's the 2nd back taken. Probably late 2nd rd. The value on NFL RB's is just so low right now. You have to either be a monster, or a GM is dumb to take a RB 1st rd.

Even so, 4.1 yards per carry isn't that bad...at all

Top 3 RB taken in the draft. I say early 2nd round. It's hard to find guys with his Combo of size and speed. The off field stuff won't hurt him IMO.
