Mind sharing the list of guys you'd rather have? Im still kinda fortifying his value in my mind as well.
Leveon Bell - Love him as a player, plus he went to my school
David Johnson - He is their offense, and even though he was an older rookie, I also expect him to last a little longer than normal backs because less tread on the tires
Zeke Elliot - He only had one year of great production and behind the leagues best line, but I have a hard time thinking that Dallas won't have an above average line for a while. Legal troubles scare me a little.
Those guys all above Hunt
These guys are same tier
Todd Gurley - I think 2016 was the outlier for him, the Rams will get better and he is the biggest beneficiary of it. I could see him being in the discussion for top overall back after this year.
Melvin Gordon - The Chargers use their backs in a variety of ways, if they ever get decent at run blocking Gordon could crack the top 3
Leonard Fournette - he is on a bad team and doing well right now, similar to Gurley's rookie year
Dalvin Cook - I just love his talent, I think he ends up being the best back from this class, it is my opinion
Jay Ajayi - He is a workhorse, getting more involved in the passing game and I love that fact that people are always sleeping on him. I have traded for him and feel like I have gotten him cheap. In one league where I have tried to sell him, I can't get fair value for him
Derrick Henry - The writing is on the wall in Tennessee, at worst this is Henry's backfield starting 2018. Plus there are weapons galore and a young qb that can run.
Saquon Barkley - I know, I know he hasn't played yet. This kid just looks special, like really special, the type of guy that comes around once a decade type.
Guys that just missed Christian McCaffery, Joe Mixon, Devonta Freeman, Nick Chubb, Derrius Guice
Take this with a grain of salt, I only try to predict 2 or 3 years out at the most in dynasty, too much change happens year in and year out. I also believe next years running back class could be special, like 1983 qb class special.
