Last year started a new trend. You won't see many backs go in the first anymore...but, it all happens in trends.



Nah, Next year Yeldon, Gurley, Gordon, all these guys are going in the first round. These are franchise type RBs. All these guys have the size, speed, and power you want in an NFL back.

Look who are the better teams this year, KC, SEA, DEN. All have that dynamic RB in common.

Most of the teams still use a power running game when they run the football. Its true that a RBs value isnt what it used to be, but its still valued. Its not like they dont value them at all. And when you have a guy like Melvin Gordon and Gurley, they are 1st rounders.

Hill is a top 3 RB in this draft. 2nd rounder

No they won't.

Drafting tailbacks in the 1st Round is a tactic that has failed a number of teams recently. Will they go early in the 2nd Round? Yes.
