re: Was 2008 the best draft class for RB's ever? Good lord

That's a nice class. Definitely don't see Dunn making the hall, though I always liked him. I doubt Dillon does either.

1 HOF'er and two 10k guys.


Ray Rice is at 5k and only 25.
Forte will be over 5k at the end of the year and is 26. Possibly the best back in football when he's healthy.
Chris Johnson is close to 6k and he's 26. He's been pretty bad this year which is only through two weeks. Even in his worst season, last year, had over 1,000 yards and almost 500 yards receiving. Having one of the best seasons in NFL history alone adds to the overall quality of the class in itself.
Jonathan Stewart is at only at 3,500 yards but is only 25 and just signed a new 5 year extension.
Jamaal Charles are two of the 6 or 7 best backs in the league.
08' class is representing four of the best 8 or so backs in the league. With a number of them with a decent shot of having 10k + career yards.

Pretty freaking good class.
