No, I think there are maybe 2-4 different backs who have a case for RB3.I'm still warming up to this rookie class, but Zach Evans is the guy I have penciled in at RB3. Am I that far off?

This is a good example of what I was trying to say about the current RB11 kind of player potentially being like RB3 or 4.I'm still warming up to this rookie class, but Zach Evans is the guy I have penciled in at RB3. Am I that far off?In theory, yes. Seems like non-fantasy NFL guys aren't too high on Tucker,Is he the #3 RB now? Not too along ago people were high on Sean Tucker.

I don’t play redraft, but I didn’t think redraft puts a lot of emphasis on 99% of the rookies. One of the reasons I don’t like redraft. I like the development aspect of fantasy.This is a good example of what I was trying to say about the current RB11 kind of player potentially being like RB3 or 4.I'm still warming up to this rookie class, but Zach Evans is the guy I have penciled in at RB3.

I'm using redraft FFPC as my best guide for how consensus is currently viewing rookie RB's. Evans is going off as RB8 right now. I don't think it would surprise many people if he ended up as RB3 or RB11. I believe this to be true before we know testing and draft capital.
ETA-just saw Evans measurements and he seems to be like Charbonnet, came in a lot lighter then I thought, at just over 202. When these players come in lighter like this they sure need to test well.
I view it was it all being relative with respect to ranking one rookie RB vs other rookie RB's.I don’t play redraft, but I didn’t think redraft puts a lot of emphasis on 99% of the rookies. One of the reasons I don’t like redraft. I like the development aspect of fantasy.

Like the mashup comparison of MJD and Michael Turner, that's very intriguing to me.
Wednesday’s UCLA Pro Day workout was attended by 31 teams, including the Steelers, Chargers, Raiders, and Chiefs. It was held in rainy, miserable conditions not conducive to fast times. And as a result, many players ran much slower than expected.
Running back Zach Charbonnet participated in position drills and looked terrific catching the football. He has the potential to be a steal outside the top 60 picks.

Zach Charbonnet is a RB prospect in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 8.62 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 228 out of 1647 RB from 1987 to 2023. ras.football/ras-informatio… #RAS

“I can catch in any element.”
@UCLAFootball RB Zach Charbonnet wants to prove why he should be one of the top RBs in this draft class.

#UCLA RB Zach Charbonnet
6-foot, 214.
Downhill play-speed on tape. Can attack the edges on perimeter schemes. Runs through contact. Pass catching ability. Shows up in protection. I see three-down traits, here.
LAC landing spot with Ekler on his last year and the contract issue.Definitely a guy to watch in the draft. You may think you escaped by not having Bijan/Gibbs drafted alongside your RB, only to have Charbonnet grabbed in the 2nd/3rd.

I like Charbonnet in 1QB PPR at mid-late 1st pending draft capital.
I have him as RB3 in draft class.

Just going off memory he was probably one of the best at the goal line in 2022.No hope for Spiller?LAC landing spot with Ekler on his last year and the contract issue.Definitely a guy to watch in the draft.

As much as I liked Spiller coming out of Texas A&M, I don't see him climbing the Top RB ladder.
Spiller was 4th round (#123) behind ZWhite LVR , DPierce Hou and Brian Robinson Wash (just a few picks in front of Pierre Strong NEP)
I liked his college production, but limited showing - NFL 18 touches for 41 yards (2.3 ypc) is not inspiring.
NFL Draft Capital is a key facet in his lack of value. But the depressed RB value by NFL does give me pause here... (and Ekeler is 27 yo = Undrafted asset)
The incumbent staff saw his performance and IF BIJAN is there at 21, they will take as an explosive part of their offense.
I can see them using Ekeler as a Passing Catching asset and not between the tackles runner (Bijan's strength).
I don't see LAC passing the value of Bijan at 21. They need more RZ threats for Short Yardage GL options. (Truth be told.. I am unaware of Ekeler's GL performance)

Buccaneers hosted UCLA RB Zach Charbonnet for a top-30 visit.
Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Charbonnet has had top-30 visits with a number of running back-needy teams including the Chargers, Cowboys, and Bills. Charbonnet is considered by most to be the third-best running back in the class. He topped 1,100 rushing yards at UCLA twice and capped his collegiate career with 1,680 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns. He has the looks of a three-down back at the next level and will be an immediate threat for touches wherever he lands.

That’s Pete. He loves RBs.Dumbfounded. I mean, they needed RB depth. But burn a 2nd? Yuck.
not a bed of roses for Walker either
Charbonnet was the 4th rookie off the board in the 4th round of a startup I did a couple weeks ago.I'm not surprised, they were to thin at a position they covet. I got Walker on two dynasty team and swear to god when they went to the podium to announce the pick I had a really bad feeling a RB was coming.
IMO this is really negative for Charbs, it's not a bed of roses for Walker either.
I just threw out two offers of Walker for 1.2. First response I got back was "lol, they just drafted Charbs".not a bed of roses for Walker either
This. Zack is a beast is his own right. Walker better watch his back.
I would think walker is still worth a decent amount more than GibbsI just threw out two offers of Walker for 1.2. First response I got back was "lol, they just drafted Charbs".not a bed of roses for Walker either
This. Zack is a beast is his own right. Walker better watch his back.
Things change in a hurry.
Now one can argue Charbs is no more comp then Montgomery and Walker is proven on the NFL level so I don't think it was a bad offer and fwiw I made on assumption he knew that Charbs had been picked. But just an idea of how things change.
I actually thought of making that offer this morning to give you and idea of how I feel.I would think walker is still worth a decent amount more than GibbsI just threw out two offers of Walker for 1.2.

My biggest money dynasty team has Hall and Walker. That would have been something. I got Swift though as well, lol so Gibbs got me anyway.Not only did this happen, but I saw from a reporter on twitter the Jets were considering Gibbs at 15. Literally no running back is safe.
