Mid-First Running Backs... (1 Viewer)

The Jackson thread poses the question to me, if not Jackson, then whom? This is all barring in mind that the first 5 picks were the big four and then Gore. Who is the next running back?

My personal pick out of this group is Rashard. He had a pretty good year last year after missing/not starting the first three games. In training camp it sounds like they are working more with the running game.

Michael Turner by a mile. He is going to put up some monster stats this year and I will be surprised if he isn't top 3 in TD's. My second choice would be Shonn Green but I would be hesitant to draft him in the middle of the first round.

In non ppr leagues, expecially TD heavy leagues (like one of mine) I'm starting to think it should be the big 4 and Turner instead of the big 4 and Gore.

One final thought. If you really want security and consistency, maybe Ryan Grant isn't all that bad. Back-to-back 1,200 yard years and last year with 11 TDs. He is about as safe as they get.

Now the better play would be to trade your first for a second and a third and grab Grant and another player in the third.
