RUNNING BACK

1. Najee Harris, Alabama

2. D’Andre Swift, Georgia

3. Devan Barrett, Auburn

4. Ty Chandler, Tennessee

5. Chase Hayden, Arkansas

Farrell’s take: Big running backs have done well at Alabama, while powerful running backs with good vision and decisiveness obviously excel at Georgia. I like Barrett’s explosiveness and ability to turn the corner for Auburn’s rushing attack. Chandler can work inside and outside for the Vols and his speed can complement what’s already on the roster. Finally, Hayden can be a workhorse in Arkansas' power running sets.

WIDE RECEIVER

1. Jerry Jeudy, Alabama

2. OrTre Smith, South Carolina

3. Jhamon Ausbon, Texas A&M

4. Mark Webb, Georgia

5. Henry Ruggs, Alabama

Farrell’s take: Jeudy’s catch-and-run ability will be perfect as Hurts develops as a passer. South Carolina will utilize Smith’s size and big hands well. Ausbon has size and sneaky speed and could be that big receiver a la Mike Evans (okay slightly smaller) as a go-to guy. Webb’s downfield speed will be needed and utilized by Georgia. Ruggs, out of the slot or outside, can be an extension of the Crimson Tide rushing attack.
