Which RB would you pick first in this draft?

I feel this is the first year in a while where there are numerous RBs who all deserve first and second round consideration. Jonathan Taylor has put up historic stats ovee the last two years and Chuba Hubbard has done so as well in the Big 12. Also, we saw two great RBs go head to head yesterday as JK Dobbins and Travis Etienne both made game altering plays. Also, cant forget the likes of Clyde Edwarde Helaire at LSU and guys Najee Harris and Cam Akers as well. If you are an NFL team in need of a RB and you have the choice of all of these guys who do you go for?
Also forgot to mention D'Andre Swift. Just a testament to how great this class is.

Dobbins and it really isn’t even close tbh.

Chuba's speed in a Sean Payton type offense would be huge.

If you really think this you should watch more college football. It may be Dobbins, but it’s very close.

Travis for me. he's more naturally gifted.
Dobbins is absurd too, obviously gifted, but he relies a lot on training and nutrition to maintain elite levels

Whoever is available in the 3rd, but Etienne would be my preference.

Won't be surprised one bit if he's the best of this loaded rb class

Isn’t that exactly what you want in a back? Dedicated football player maximizing his talent?
BTW, given there’s a wave of downvotes... my personal preference for a true back is Dobbins. I like bowling ball backs that can rip chunk plays.
Etienne would be my next choice. He could kill it in a KC offense.

Why would you draft a running back early? Congrats on the two year player if you’re lucky.

I could see Etienne or Akers having a Dalvin Cook type of pro career, with the right team that could use them properly.
Etienne is fricking scary. Wish we could have landed him.
ETA - Dobbins reminds me of a Steelers kind of back. He could thrive in a place like Pittsburgh.

Jonathon Taylor or JK Dobbins. The draft is super deep with great rbs this year. Hell, you have Etienne, Akers, Harris, Hubbard, Swift, and CEH. Any of these guys I would be thrilled to have.
Posted on 12/29/19 at 10:31 am to PhillyFan1994
Swift and Dillon are the top two backs in that order. After that there are like 5-6 good solid backs that aren’t much different in terms of overall talent, just depends on what style you prefer.

I think that Taylor is the most complete back in the class, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top backs this year.

Taylor is the one I am least likely to pick. Wisconsin churns these high producing backs out like nothing the last 25 years and how many of them have been 4-5 year starters in the NFL? Melvin Gordon and ?

Did you see what happened to the Vikings offense without Dalvin Cook?

Michael Bennett, Corey Clement, James White, Ron Dayne....

Cam Akers all day

Dayne was a bust, Clement is trash, White is a complimentary back, Bennett had one good season and finished with less than 3,800 yards in 10 seasons.
Thank you for adding onto my point.
