Panthers, Jags, Eagles, Saints, Redskins, Denver, Tampa Bay, Oakland, Greenbay are all teams that need Running backs and could easily draft one in the top 2 rounds and that's not even putting us on the list.  

If those 4 running backs are gone and Greenbay sees Kamara as the last guy they have high on their board.  Then I could easily see them drafting him.  

I get Panthers because Stewart is 30 years old. He just renegotiated his contract to take a pay cut but play an extra year (through 2018).

Jags are somewhat surprising given they have Yeldon and Ivory. Neither are great and it wouldn't surprise me to see the Jags take LF or Cook, but it's not like they are in a HUGE need for RB.

Eagles have Mathews, Sproles, and Smallwood. None great, but serviceable. No one is talking about them having a big need at RB. They have a much bigger need at WR.

Saints have Ingram, so they don't need a starting RB. They definitely could use a good backup that could split carries with him, but IMO they have bigger needs besides RB to need to get one in the top two rounds.

Redskins have Rob Kelley who came on well last year, plus Matt Jones and Chris Thompson. Also not a great cast, but not a big need at RB given the emergence of Kelley in the second half of last season. They also likely could wait on RB and address bigger needs.

Denver struggled in the run game most of last year, but CJ Anderson did look really good until he got hurt. He is the starter. They just drafted Booker last year to help split carries. They also have adequate depth. No need for them to get a RB in the first two rounds.

Not sure why TB is even listed. Doug Martin, Jacquizz Rodgers, and Charles Sims have done pretty well. Maybe a mid-late round RB, but surely not a big enough need to take a RB early.

I get Oakland and GB.

So you're looking at CAR, OAK, GB, and kinda JAX realistically for a "need". Throw in the Bengals and you're looking at likely 5-6 teams that will take a RB in the first two rounds.

Adrian Peterson is also still a FA, so he could be picked up by a team that has an immediate need for RB, then draft a long-term replacement in the mid-late rounds.
