Florida State’s Dalvin Cook is the darling of the NFL Draft community with many having him rated has a high 1st round prospect. He is further down on my list based on the fact that there are more rounded running back prospects available.

Ryan Anderson is an intriguing prospect who isn’t flashy but knows how to make plays. He’ll likely play outside linebacker in a 3-4 system where his pass-rushing ability will be put to good use. However, it’s important to note that Anderson is a versatile defender who can hold up in coverage and support the run.

Iowa’s Akrum Wadley is a stud running back who reminds me a lot of Jamaal Charles. He’s extremely explosive and excels at making defenders miss. Wadley is a threat to score every time he touches the football.
