Cam Skattebo will go 3rd round or above. If he runs 4.5 or under he may be 3rd RB off the board. His film is fantastic, to leave him off this list is very silly

Good List. I appreciated your perspective on the running backs. ... Being from AZ , our guy Skattabo has to be in there somewhere. But that's ok, he likes being the underdog and he will find a place and go out there and prove it. .... But i'm leaning towards your #2 out of Iowa for my Raiders in the draft. Going to have to make some moves....

I love how every ranking of these RBs is so different. Yours has Skattebo outside the top 10 and others have him top 10 even top 5 and other differences.

I’m ngl I can see Kaleb Johnson going getting the Gibbs treatment and sneaking in top 15 in this draft he’s crazy good and we all know this draft gunna be so unpredictable.

[@ronaldalexander5517]

I was impressed with Gentry when I saw him against Penn St whose whole defense was geared to stopping him and even though it was hard he still got over 100 yards. If he is on the board for Dallas grab him. If not go the best player on the board and get your back in the 2nd round

[@erek_awesome]

Another Boys fan?! Instant Sub

[@21Kolb]

The thing i like about nick is his ability to hit high gear fast. Im a steelers fan and if we aren’t going to extend najee, nick is the type of runner i think tomlin and company woudl like. He is powerful, size, speed, and that grit. Creativity is not something im worried about. I just would like someone who can break a run and go for 50 and not be caught easily. Or a guy who can catch a toss and get to the edge quickly.

[@timmypratt6843]

With the way Dallas has been run blocking, jeanty could have a special rookie year

[@KWParrish]

I agree with most of this list but I have Cam Skattebo as RB 5. Put him at OSU and he KILLSSSSS you have to think this way when evaluating skill payers. He finishes, him and Ashton have the best contact balance. He has better speed then credited. If you love Ashon and his running style, you have to love Cam. Very similar players in running style and top speed

[@darrisstransou]

Hate to tell you but skattebo would not play behind Henderson and judkins if he was at OSU

[@darrisstransou]

Hey Foots love the list, but I'd urge you to check out LeQuint Allen out of Syracuse, I think he's a top 5 back in the class, he reminds me of how I felt about Jahmyr Gibbs before he went to Bama...if I were Dallas id take Emeka Egbuka round1, Billy Bowman at safety round2 Mike Green from Marshall round 3 and hoping LeQuint Allen will be overlooked enough in a deep running back draft for us to grab him in the 4th kid can do it all, just doesn't have the elite speed jahmyr has but can do everything else oh and he has that same suddenness that I love like Gibbs really hope Dallas are looking at some of these guys I feel like they are all game changers at their positions

Nice vid. You definitely overrate the Ohio St guys. Skattebo and RJ Harvey should be top 5 backs. Harvey is the slickest cut back, jitterbug runner in the country. He foes not have the long speed or powr as Jeanty, but he has the tools of Jahmyr Gibbs. RJ Harvey is 2, Hampton 3, Skattebo 4, Kaleb 5. Maybe Judkins or Neal next.

Jeanty broke 19 tackles vs Penn State, like 150-160 on the season depending on your source. Skat broke 9 vs TexasX like 102 on the season. Adjusted for touches, Jeanty’s rate still much higher. (Like 40% Jeanty, Skat around 30%) The previous record for broken tackles in NCAA, btw, was 106. Which was Ashton Jeanty last year as a true Sophomore. Bijon with 104 was the previous record before. So Skat’s 102 is truly elite. It’s still nowhere close to Jeanty

I’ll be happy if they can get one of these top 10 guys. I’d be ecstatic if we get Jeanty. Some ppl are talking about the amount of carries the last 2 years but of you watch him he’s not having to grind out tough yards or running into brick walls.

That narrative is overrated. There are a whole lot of NFL backs that had tons of carries in college. Injury will happen no matter how many carries you did or didn't have.

[@CorImmaculatum]

QUINSHON JUDKINS! Give me that young man, on my roster, everyday, all day! Then you do something wild like add a Najee Harris or James Connor in FA. NOW you have something. Let’s not forget that Rico Dowdle is a really good back. Your RB room is all of sudden respectable.

[@nolanschwarting1312]

Really slow and going to be boring day at work so I’m giving my 2 sense worth here! (Loved your video btw) I am a big time Iowa fan!! I loved watching Kaleb Johnson! I think him and Ashton are without a doubt the most NFL ready backs in this class that could and (probably) will be cowbell backs for a team. Therefore I sadly don’t think Kaleb will get drafted in the first round just due to the stigma and of the running back position nowadays (which I hate) I think jeanty will go first round and he is a first round grade possibly to the Vikings (I’m a Viking fan)cause they really need a good young RB. Therefore it will more than likely be the cowboys Kaleb I think is 100% a first round type of guy and 1st round grade but I just can’t see him going 1st round which sucks. I also agree with people are going to try and find stuff about jeanty and he will slip which is why I think the Vikings might snag him I think it might happen with KJ too which could be huge for a Super Bowl contender possibly fall to the chargers maybe to take some load off of JK dobbins. I can also see him going to Minnesota as well which would be awesome and fun for me cause I’m from Iowa and I’m a Viking fan

[@natthakitkorsawatpat4300]

Just from the record Jeanty beat them both. I could say 1.Jeanty 2.Bijan 3. Gibbs. In NFL it will be clearer. Ashton lacks the size which is quite needed in the league. You have to be really good if you are undersized RB in NFL. But If Gibbs can then Ashton would be fine too

Hey Foots say cowboys pick at 12. Ashton is still on the board. Their phone is ringing they get a call for 2 future 1st to fall 8-9 spots. Are you taking Jeff’s advice and trading back and picking one of these other rbs OR is Ashton just that good and you ignore and pick at 12?

[@xmobkilla9067]

Rico is not an elite running back and does not scare defenses. The reason why he's able to get some yards is because nobody's fearing the cowboys running game they're not stacking the box. Our offense needs to get back to when we had an elite running back like rookie Zeke. Dak had his best season because our running game was so good. We been mid at running back the last couple years and it's not working. We need an elite player and that's Ashton Geanty. Definitely the only player the cowboys should be looking at in the first round. This team needs weapons. Second round we need a wr. we have been neglecting both positions for the last 3 years.

[@JaQuanFoster-j7u]
