I'm back and forth on what Drake is going to do.
On one hand, he'll have hardly any mileage on him, and that'll make him attractive with his talent.
On the other hand he is a fumble machine and hasn't proven he can handle a lot of carries consistently.
Now, a team could take him as a COP/3rd down back and maybe use him as a receiver and returner a bit too.
I hope he stays. Henry/Drake/Jones next year. But if he doesn't, we still have Henry/Jones with either Tenpenny or Scarbrough.

He'll be encouraged to stay by the staff, because I don't think he'll be a high round draft pick. What he chooses to do, I don't have a clue. Hopefully he'll want to return and be the man with Henry. I'm not too sure how scholastically inclined he is, if you know what I mean.

Definitely.
All three backs though...I can't stop flip flopping on their potential NFL careers.
At times Yeldon looks like he could be an All Pro Back. In space he's electric, and off tackle he's good. But since last year he hasn't looked as good in between the tackles as you'd expect a guy who is around 225lbs to be.
Drake is crazy fast and seems to have good vision, but I can't help but wonder if he accelerates too fast for his own good and he will be where he needs to be BEFORE the holes open up.
Henry is a monster. Size/speed combo is deadly. But it seems like something isn't right. Like he has inconsistent burst. Sometimes he hits the second or third gear and it looks like he was shot out of a cannon. Others it looks like he can't accelerate at all.

I think The Beast is just so damn big, his speed and acceleration is deceiving. Add in his ballerina footwork, and it's like nothing I've ever seen. He is almost like a bigger Shaun Alexander. Su used to confound me sometimes, how he ran. That's my opinion on Bama's WRs next year.
