If you're not drafting to stash, I'd rank them:
1. Saquon. I expect him to be about on par with Kamara this year. Giants don't have to lean on him too him and there is explosive play potential.
2. Freeman. Locked in to RB#2 numbers, imo, just because the Broncos paved the way for him to play.
3. Jones. Not totally enamored with him as a football player but that burst is real, the Bucs O is actually pretty decent, and I really dont think much of his competition. Low workload is probably the only thing keeping we worried but I think there is a real shot for some big games despite a pretty terrible schedule.
4. Guice. I think he is a bit raw but Washington has a decent oline and a meh defense and Guice runs hard. RB2 upside but could run into the same issues as middle-season Hunt did last year when teams tried to solve Alex Smith and its just hard in general for me to picture Alex Smith without a pass catcher as a RB.
5. Penny. Not sure about his ability to catch but he is almost guaranteed to see action in Seattle. Seattle might not be as talented as Washington so Penny might suffer a bit.
6. Chubb. Like Freeman but with more competition and more upside. He'll beat out Hyde at some point but they paid Hyde for...some reason. I think he is the #2 talent in the draft, though, so maybe he is worth drafting once the team gives up on Hyde.
7. Michel. Part of the NE England Swiss Army knife. I personally think NE's D will be better this year and their O a little worse but Michel might have fumbling issues, might have knee issues....they did draft him for a reason but one of those reasons is probably because he can pass block.
8. Kerryon. Love the talent long-term. Don't love him next year with Blount there. Probably my #3 talent but...Lions.
There is a bigger gap between #1 and #2 than #2 and #8.
