After looking at a few different articles and threads including the draft slot threads, Chris Smith's Draft Slot Studies, and Navigating the 1st Round Mine Field, Danger Lurks! I see the recurring theme of alot of similar backs available across the middle of the first round.
It looks like there's somewhat of a concensus on the first 5 RB's being (in debatable order):
LaDainian Tomlinson
Adrian Peterson
Brian Westbrook
Joseph Addai
Steven Jackson (Now that he's at camp)
But RB's seem to look pretty similar in terms or expected production in the tier after that, namely:
Marion Barber III
Marshawn Lynch
Clinton Portis
Frank Gore
Larry Johnson
And just below that there are a few other guys that may have the ability to pop up a tier:
Maurice Jones-Drew
Brandon Jacobs
Ryan Grant
Jamal Lewis
In order to get an idea of the general concensus of drafters, please vote for the RB you'd select in the following rules sets.
I know at least Brady and Moss have to be in the conversation for best overal player but please stick to RB's for this thread.
TIA for your time and vote.
