Having Gibson on my roster is like having a subscription to the jelly of the month club. It won't be enough to put in a pool.

Combining last year, void of hindsight:

Taylor/N Harris/Dobbins

Javonte/CEH/Swift/Etienne/Akers

Sermon/Dillon/Gibson

Moss/Carter/Stevenson/Vaughn/Chuba

Akers

Taylor   

Harris

Swift

Dobbins  

Etienne 

Gibson

CEH 

Williams

Sermon 

Robinson 

Carter

If I'm grading them based on what I thought about them entering the league after their NFL drafts, not what I saw the 2020 class actually do I'd have ranked them this way:

1. CEH

2. Taylor

3. Najee

4. Swift

5. Akers

6, Williams

7. ETN

8.. Dobbins

9. Sermon

10. Gibson

Bonus add: I would have put Najee as number one rookie RB for redraft purpose over last two years.

Anyone else want to take a crack at this?

1. JT- great prospect who really put it together down the stretch, size speed production Godzilla 

2. Swift - I know he’s another 2nd round pick and history tells us 1st round pick status matters but I love the burst he showed last year, the potential of this offensive line and the way the offense might need to build around him 

3. ETN- great prospect landing with the dream QB and a coach who wants to feed him receptions, floor is low but ceiling is unreal 

4. Akers- he got a lot of touches down the stretch and really kicked ### but it’s a small sample size still, we know McVay likes to churn these skill players 

5. Harris- The perfect combo of prospect and landing spot but Pittsburgh offense could be about to fall off a cliff 

6. Gibson- he has JT level upside but there is some worry for low receptions and coming back to Earth on his TD rate, haven’t seen bell cow play yet

7. CEH- didn’t think he had any business getting drafted where he did last year (fantasy and NFL) but he was ok and it’s the Chiefs so why not CEH? 

8. Dobbins - love the talent just don’t think he will get the receptions needed to hit his upper end.

9.  Williams - young and an offense that’s just a QB away from making this a golden goose type landing spot for Javonte 

10. Carter- I just like what I saw and thought he produced neck and neck with Javonte. Opportunity is there and I’m willing to let it ride with him despite the horrific draft slide.

I figured I'm give this a bump now that we're into training camp. Anyone with a new ranking?

My list looks very similar to what Ilov80s posted back in May. Thats why I liked his post.

I was lower on Akers by quite a bit being the main difference. I have always had Akers lower than Dobbins and Swift.
