This isn't 1985. Running backs don't go in the Top 5 anymore. Most don't even go in the first round.

The ones that have gone high have mostly been busts.


Beyond that, next year's RB class is insane. That said, LF should go in the 1st.

i think bama has LT Cam Sims

possibly Jonathan Allen at DT

possibly Foster at LB

We may have a DB

number 56 on D who could play DE or OLB and I went blank on his name. Tim Williams perhaps

In fairness, the point that RBs have become undervalued in the NFL remains. They aren't as a whole taken as high as they used to be although there are always exceptions.

Leonard will be the exception. I think he is better than the OSU guy

Exactly one of those guys will go first round.

A year ago jalen Mills was a " first round lock "

Now he will be lucky to be drafted

Oh I agree RBs aren't valued like they were 20 years ago, but one usually lands somewhere in the first round, and barring a terrible season or severe injury LF will be that running back next year.

Arkansas has had two John Mackey award winners in the last 8 years. Three tes drafted in the NFL and Jeremy sprinkle will be drafted higher than all if them. Physically he's..elite. led the sec in TD receptions as a te last year while not even starting. He's basically OJ Howard that doesn't suck. OJ is a tad faster. Sprinkle is 20 pounds bigger,lo nger arms and much node physical while being just as fast and a better route runner.


I don't know what to make of Dan Skipper he's gonna go while at right tackle but I don't know the value of a 6'10 tackle

I honestly don't know. I've heard a lot of good talk about the OSU guy but I haven't seen him play. B1G football is sorta like watching molasses being made.

I agree he'll go in the first, I just don't know if I'd say top 5 and not because he doesn't deserve it either but because the NFL draft can be so messed up and unpredictable at times. I feel more comfortable saying top 10. The NFL draft never ceases to amaze me with some of the wacky arse picks they make every year.

I think both Sutton and Barnett go first round. Then JRM, Dobbs, and Kamara in the 2nd and 3rd. I think Hurd and TKjr stay for a 4th year.

Austin Allen-top 5

Jeremy Sprinkle-top 10

Dan Skipper-top 20

Frank Ragnow-top 20

Deatrich Wise-top 20

Dominique Reed-top 25

Keon Hatcher-top 30


Not bad, but 2018 is when we REALLY start pumping the first rounders out.

Gee, could it be most people realize he'll have more talented players at LSU? Could be...

Barnett is a lock. Sutton probably will as well. JRM has a chance to, and maybe Hurd if he has a massive year.

It's always less than you think it's going to be, but I would be shocked if LSU only had 1 drafted in the first round next year.
