Based on this year's performance, this is how I would rank the RBs going into next season:

1. Drake
2. Henry
3. Jones
4. Tenpenny

That's about it unless we sign a HS player this year cause Jones/Tenpenny are not gonna wait through 3 years to get carries. Make me

I'd like to see Yeldon remain for 1 more year only because I don't think he's had a good enough season to be drafted.....but what in the hell do I know....absolutely nothing.

With that said:

Yeldon/Henry
Drake/Jones
Tenpenney/Scarborough.

I think he absolutely is good enough to be drafted but not particularly highly. I just don't see how another year is going to improve his draft stock. He has shown to be a good runner, receiver, and blocker. He has shown that he is largely a complete back who is good at just about everything but not great at any one thing. I don't see why he would risk the injury.

I think that Yeldon's full body of work is good enough to put him in the second round. If he performs well at the combine, could go higher.

I also think that with the depth behind him, Saban and staff may advise him to leave.

Yeldon would be dumb not to leave.
I don't think we'll see anything firm in the rotation behind Drake at number one until later in the season, but rather we'll feature more backs in different situations, and we'll run TONS more, because the line will be back up to 2012 standards. The Arkansas game is going to be VERY physical.

Assuming everyone takes care of business off the field during the offseason.


-Henry and Jones will be the traditional 1-2 RB punch
-Drake will be used in an All-Purpose role....more like a Percy Harvin in college. Similar to how he was used this year but with more touches.
