Where is Yeldon projected? RB draft value is low and his numbers are down this season.

So I guess Yeldon leaves after this year to enter the draft?

Definitely. He really has nothing to gain by staying another year. It'd just put more mileage on him.

Sad that when he committed he put his goal at winning the Heisman and now he's going to early declare.

Ah well, he's been awesome to have and he helped us win plenty of games, fumbles aside.

If Drake can run full speed by the time of the draft, he'd have to give some consideration to coming out, no?

He's already show he can be an explosive runner and pass catcher. I don't know that his value goes up by just coming back as another back in the rotation. If he can run a 4.3 in the spring, I would leave school if it was me as he risks injury for no upside then (see Gurley, Todd)

I dont think we can count on Jones either, he has not been healthy and suspended way to much.

I was really high on Tenpenny and if these cats were in the 08-09 cycle it would prob be a different story for them. Kamara would have probably stepped right in were Drake was if he were still around. I also dont think Henry will be the starting back for long.

That is what I think, it should be Drake#1 if he comes back at 100%. I like Henry, but he just isn't shifty enough for my liking and it hurts him in our zone blocking scheme.

Who do we have, recruits, coming in that is a true game changer at RB?

I hope Drake is 100% and the #1 back next year. Henry is solid but he just isn't the feature guy with our o-line. Id we were still dominate up front circa our past championship teams and Henry had room to get a full head of steam he'd be better, but as it is now he should be a #2 when you have a player as dynamic as Drake with a line such as this.
