Hey TFG. Since your new rating scale, I think it would be insightful to see maybe like top 5 rated players at each position from the years that you’ve done this in the past. This would tell someone how the draft stacks up against past years potentially. Adds work for you, but I watch every minute of your content and would love to see more! Thanks!!
It's batshit insane to me that people say Bijan isn't worth a first. Heard people say they would rather have an average tackle or edge than a Bijan, even if he becomes the best in the league. It's just gone too far with the RB hate
You know ball. I will gladly take four years of most likely HoF back play over a project edge. Especially for win now teams that gamble with FA and guarenteed money anyways
I feel you man, dealing with that in Chicago, buncha unga-bunga analytical nerds drooling over “value”. Which I can understand, to an extent, at 9. But at what point is the value of Bijan (an immediate Top5 RB), greater than the potential value at a position of need?
@@evanmasterpierround1169 I didn’t say that. If they do go that route, personally, I’d be thrilled. But I’m not expecting them to do that, certainly not if they stay put at 9, that is. Trade down past eh… 15, and I might think it’s happening.
Everyone fighting over Bijan and Gibbs, here I'd be delighted if Bengals grab Bijan's teammate, Roschon Johnson. The dude is a former QB, meaning he not only is good for short yardage RB play and pass-blocking, but he can add trick plays into the mix as well. I think he's a hidden gem in this RB class.
@@michaelbeale559Roschon is an amazing person who didn’t run from obstacles. He was the undisputed leader of Texas. Everyone loves him he’s just an overall amazing guy.
Im a little shocked that deuce vaughn isnt on this list. I get his height is an issue, but he does have that low center of power to help fight through tackles.
Deuce Vaughn is a threat, and a very underrated one. His tape is incredible. Somebody can sign him as an undrafted rookie and will get tons of value for cheap.
He may be undersized and might not be able to run it 20x a game, but if Im a GM, Im looking at Keaton Mitchell or Deuce Vaughn in round 5. Theses 2 are quick to the hole and both are homerun hitters.
Man I'd never heard of McBride before this but those were some ridiculous highlight runs, those were some real "Fuck you" runs which I always love to see
Thank you to the breakdown on Bijan. People thought I was crazy for saying I would take him if I’m the Bears at 9. This guy is a potential HOFer. No joke. I’ll continue to advocate for Bijan to the Bears
He would make the Bears offense that much dangerous with him and Justin Fields in the same backfield. Running backs are undervalued because it's a deep running back class. Quarterbacks are overvalued because it's only like a legit 3 or 4 quarterbacks in this draft class.
@@austin.hook-em He was hitting certain metrics last season on a per carry basis that suggested he can be a fantasy RB1 if given the volume to support that.
Glaring issue is not having Deuce Vaughn top 10. Sure he’s not the biggest but he’s DYNAMIC with the ball. Good hands, vision, and plenty speed. Not the best pass blocker but man he does everything else.
Thank you for setting the record straight about Bijan…I’ve been hearing way too many people saying he’s overrated and that Gibbs is the best back in this class…but anybody who watches this kid knows they’re watching someone legendary in the making
I'm here in spring of 2024 to see how you ranked the RBs because I liked your video on the 2024 class. Great call on Achane. Hit the nail on the head man. GJ
Devon Achane = 2001 Michael Bennett, track star turned running back, he had some big home run TD runs for the Vikings, but ultimately his straight line speed wasn’t able to translate to the NFL game with out that ability to make guys miss.
Been waiting on this bruh, just started the video and was almost sure u we’re gonna say deuce Vaughn for no 10 but Johnson is much deserving of the spot. Also great content my guy !
with Bijan and how de-valued RB's have become these days, the truly scary prospect is that he'll fall to an actual contender and what that might turn them into. The goddamn eagles are picking at 10 and he might very well be there for them - they were just in the Superbowl!
Wow this is a stacked class. Thought for sure Mohamed Ibrahim would've cracked the top 10. I know it's not all stats but 1665 yards, 5.2 ypa, and 20 TD's all on the ground for an underwhelming Minnesota squad is incredible. Also was curious how you'd rate Bijan compared to Breece Hall last season as a prospect. Looks like Bijan wins with that LT comp. Keep up the excellent content!
Yea same, was genuniely surprised that Marcus didn't have him on the list. I loved Tank Bigsby's vision and balance on tape and thought he was easily RB4 at least. Maybe it's the limited athleticism?
Honestly, I would love for the Cowboys to draft Roschon Johnson in the fourth or third round be a perfect complement to Tony Pollard doesn’t have a a lot of wear and tear also would be pretty much what Ezekiel Elliott did in which was short yardage, goal, line and first down type of stuff
GB drafts Darnell Wright 1st for RT, Darnell Washington TE 2nd for in-line TE and Tyjae Spears 3rd along with Aaron Jones in 112 personnel to the right. Can't wait to see it.
Right now he’s a lot better and also, he doesn’t have nearly as much tread on the tires, and he was literally a back up of which means he’s gonna be pretty fresh going into his first season while Elliott he was rushing for almost 4000 yards in three years in college so yeah I think he would be a perfect complement to Tony Pollard
@@dsbeats5657I agree Zeke coming out was different but current Zeke like you said has no tread left on his tires and this is coming from probably the biggest Zeke fan out there. I would like to see him with the cowboys.
I'm on board with your analyses 💯 Charbonnet is a poor man's Nick Chubb; I'd like him or (as you mentioned for a Dobbins comp, McBride) at Baltimore...
Give him the thumbs up and likes! Dude pushes out quality content for free. When I win the DFS million ill send some your way my dude. Right now im Broke AF!
I guess I am on the right track at RB as 9 of my top 10 are here with no ranking more than 3 spots different from TFG. Thanks for everything you do, TFG.
This is the 2nd time in 2 days that I've seen Roschon mentioned in top 10 by analysts I trust, the other being on Ryan Wilson's pod. Definitely someone on my radar now!
I like Kenny McIntosh out of Georgia, he’s got a strong lower half, can make defenders miss, on the bigger side of RB’s and has more experience against better defences
Hey TFG, any opinion on Zach Evans? He seems to be one of the more polarizing RBs in this draft, some people have him as high as 2, and others aren’t so high on him. The athleticism seems to be there for sure, any specific reason why he didn’t crack your top 10?
The guy is electric. He probably didn't list him in his top 10 for 2 reasons. I have him 2 or 3. 1. He came to the Combine 10 lbs lighter. 2. He didn't run the 40 either.
I believe Tucker is the second best all around back in this Draft. This guy severely underrated his speed. I think Tucker is being slept on currently because he didn’t participate in the Combine. I imagine after his pro day next week his draft stock will take off. Also Syracuse changed their scheme this year and we’re more pass heavy and pass efficient leading to a drop in Tuckers production. He’ll end up being one of the major steals of this draft.
Wow, I have been preaching how good Spears is to all these other people ranking running backs on RU-vid. Everybody else has him as a fourth or fifth round Prospect
I appreciate finally having someone articulate the difference between Breece Hall last year and Bijan this year. As someone who watches a lot of Big 12 football (and admittedly some Cyclone bias here) I thought it was hey, he is at Texas and was this this and this in high school. If that makes me sound like an idiot then well, I'll take the L on this. I just didn't see a MASSIVE gap between the two watching them.
Thoughts on how you feel about Sproles being a pro comp for Achane? I feel like they're somewhat similar at least in regards to pass catching/speed. Maybe I'm just remembering Sproles being better than he actually was lol.
Dudes 6th all time in all purpose yardage. Achane would be a home run if he could live up to what Darren Sproles has done. Deuce Vaughn is I think an ideal comp.
@@zackhurwitz9441 I see what you mean there, but I was saying like just overall in regards to production. He wouldn't be a crazy good 1.01 RB but he would be able to catch and run well if maybe he put on a little weight. I like Vaughn as a comp, maybe even CEH
@@ThatFranchiseGuy I was wondering how you felt about the receiving, for Achane. I feel like I remember Sproles taking Wheel routes and Screens for house calls all the time. Glad to hear your insight on my take!
Uhhhhh question as an ou fan... Where do you have eric gray? Look at what he had to work with. My pro comps maybe lesean mccoy with the vision and cut back ability. Shows elusiveness and his top end speed is just good enough. If hes not top 10 or top 15 idk...
I believe Tucker is the second best all around back in this Draft. This guy severely underrated his speed. I think Tucker is being slept on currently because he didn’t participate in the Combine.

As a GB fan I love Bothof the AJs but Aaron had a lot of fumbles over the past 2 years and I get the feeling that AJ is not a main back once Aaron ages out. Is this year a good crop to find a replacement to groom?
