The value of the running back position has dropped.
TJY is certainly a high quality player who can run, catch, and block so he would be a great third down back.
He certainly will be a first day pick, but I'm not sure teams look at him as an every down back- like Eddie Lacey (second round bc Falcons liked a washed up Steven Jackson).
That being said, only one team has to want him at their first round spot.
People get wrapped up about "first round", but if you are drafted in rounds 1 through 3, you have potential to start.
