Jerick McKinnon, RB/WR/QB, Georgia Southern

Vikings, Round 3. He went MUCH earlier than anyone really expected, and to a team that probably could have used someone with more immediate impact. I expected Round 6, but his athleticism opened a lot of eyes during the draft … Continue reading

Lorenzo Taliaferro, RB/FB, Coastal Carolina: FCS Division

Ravens, Round 4. As with tight ends, when the Ravens draft a running back, you need to pay attention. Taliaferro is a very solid back who is probably even at the level of Bernard Pierce. With Ray Rice’s uncertain future and … Continue reading

Andre Williams, RB, Boston College

Giants, Round 4. He went a little later than I expected, but he lands in an obviously great situation — the Giants — for any running back, even though he’s behind Rashad Jennings and Peyton Hillis (and maybe David Wilson). … Continue reading

Tim Flanders, RB, Sam Houston State: FCS Division

UDFA. Former transfer from Kansas State. Signed by Saints as UDFA but was released in August 2014. Does a lot of things well, but nothing exceptionally well. Could turn into a fair backup and part of a committee on some … Continue reading

LaDarius Perkins, RB/KR, Mississippi State

UDFA. Signed by the Packers as a UDFA but was released in August. He is very similar to Zach Bauman of Northern Arizona, a running back who is also in this draft, who I also compared to Steve Slaton. Perkins runs … Continue reading

Zach Bauman, RB, Northern Arizona: FCS Division

Cardinals, UDFA. On the Cardinals, he’s behind maybe four other guys vying for playing time and roster spots, so his success may not be immediate. But he has the talent to put up RB3 numbers in PPR leagues. Has the running … Continue reading

Raijon Neal, RB/KR, Tennessee

Packers, UDFA. If he becomes more decisive, that might fix some of his problems with power by giving him more momentum. Regardless, he is not an especially talented running back and will probably not be a consistently successful back in the … Continue reading
