Judkins has been great but Evans is averaging close to a yard a carry more than him. That includes the multiple games that he would get 5 -7 carries and then be sat because he didn't look right. He was also more effective as a receiver. My main concern is that Evans may not ever be a guy that gets 200+ carries a season because he is ineffective when he is dinged. That said, just the potential makes him a top 3 RB in this stacked class. It's interesting that the Ole Miss season went down the toilet at the same time that Evans started having health issues. Really not trying to take anything away from Judkins I like him a lot, he just doesn't have the skill set that Evans does if he can put it all together.

2023 RB3, don’t be afraid of durability when if comes to a prospect of this talent. No major injuries.
Really hoping someone in my league takes him 5-6-7

I was posting fantasy, not NFL mock, but NFL draft capital matters for fantasy.
That was my point, yeah. To be FF relevant IMO they need to be at least a day 2 pick.
Agreed - but it’s definitely something that can turn on a dime after the combine.
I got to admit I was high on him entering the year, thought he looked good and still fairly high on him but starting to wonder if he really ever had as much momentum as I thought?
Quite a few of the DEVY sites have had Evans pretty highly regarded for a couple of years now.
Achane is 5’8” 185 lbs. Name the last RB that size to ever amount to anything in fantasy. If any, how many?
I don’t personally like him, nor would I draft him. I agree he’s too small/track star-ish.
Not by me he hasn’t. Kind of ridiculous IMO if that is true. I’ve seen hot takes on Achane and I snicker on it.
Momentum changes quickly this time of the year. Evans' momentum is understandably low after what would have to be considered a disappointing season, being passed on the depth chart by a true freshman and failing to display versatility in the passing game. However, there are a number of things to really like about Evans' game too, and if he impresses in workouts, he could really shift that momentum swing. NFL teams tend to have short memories, and it is all about what have you done lately.
Especially at this position, more than any other.
I absolutely agree. Things change rapidly, but right now Evans' stock is slipping, while Tucker, Charbonnet and Achane are all seeing their stock moving upwards.
Same - I see it on the YouTube mocks, in comments sections of same.

I’m interested to see where he goes. I imagine him as a feature back in MIA and see a lot of potential.
I suspect he’ll get drafted as a banger between the tackles, which isn’t as exciting, but could still be productive.
He’s a guy a lot of folks scoffed at last year but I think he’s opened some eyes.
I'm not an Achane honk but CJ2K weighed in a 195 at the combine. If he weighs in around the same, he'll get interest from teams that need speed. The NFL is a copycat league and everyone wants the kind of offense the 49ers chiefs and Dolphins have been running. V
Might even be the Dolphins. I’d be a buyer at that landing spot, depending where his ADP lands in rookie drafts.
185, not 195
It wouldn't be ideal if 3 RBs go in the first 2 rounds, and 2 of them are little backs, that is for sure. But I try to keep in mind that the NFL will wait longer to draft RBs if it's a deep class more than in a shallow class.
Who's at 5 and 6?

Yeah, I probably should have said "mid 1st" instead of 7.
Charbonnet is on a 1st round rookie draft trajectory in 1QB at this point. Any 2nd round rookie rb is going to have some warts, or you're getting a landing spot where you're waiting a year or more for a real shot at a big role.
I think both things can be true and this is how the 2017 draft class was which I keep saying reminds me a great deal of this class. RB's made 4 of the top 5 picks that year in almost all of my leagues but second round and later was still fairly loaded.
Excuse me, but if memory serves the only off-field stuff was the recruitment fiasco. What have I missed and how serious is it?
Good call flagging that comment @JohnnyU as this was the only off-field issue that I could find:
