Just as with the 2013 QB class, the RBs in the 2013 draft class lack top-end talent. So much so that it looks like there probably won’t be one selected in the first round at all, breaking a 50-year streak.
Unlike the QBs, though, there is a lot of depth to the class, meaning teams will be able to grab excellent values at the position late in the draft and especially as UDFAs.
Of course, if you’re looking for RBs to help your dynasty team, the top five or so here will probably be your best bets. But keep an eye on the rest of the guys on this list as the season goes on. So many of them have nice complementary abilities that you could see any one of them with good production as the year goes on.
