Outside of cook whose your favorite? Mines obviously mixon due to the value.
I am on the D'Onta Foreman train. The guy's NFL comparison when I watch him is Steven Jackson. Large, powerful, Angry runner. He is projected to run in the mid 4.4's and will give us a back who can run straight ahead and get us the tough yards. If we are planning for life after Hill this is the guy in this draft I want. He is basically a poor mans Leonord Fournette.....but with better production and less wear and tear.
A quick write up on him..
Foreman, a unanimous first-team selection, was the nation's leading rusher and totaled 2,028 yards on the ground despite playing in just 11 games. He averaged 184.4 yards per game in 2016, the 10th-most in NCAA history. He recorded 15 touchdowns. He became just the ninth Power 5 Conference player in NCAA history to record 2,000 yards in a season without the help of a bowl game. He had at least 124 yards in all 11 games and eclipsed the 250-yard mark in three games.
He will be there in the 2nd, and possibly the late 2nd for a trade up if we want him.
