1. Bijan Robinson, Texas

BIG BOARD RANK: 27

Robinson is about as well-rounded a back as you'll see in the draft. He's one of the highest-floor players in the class.

2. Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama

BIG BOARD RANK: 51

Gibbs is the dynamic receiving back you want in this class.

3. Zach Charbonnet, UCLA

BIG BOARD RANK: 61

Charbonnet is a very easy projection to the next level. He's a “set it and forget it” starter.

4. Devon Achane, Texas A&M

BIG BOARD RANK: 73

Achane is going to have to have a certain role in the NFL, but in that role, he can be a game-changer. He's built to contribute right away with the ugly blocking he ran behind last season.

5. DeWayne McBride, UAB

BIG BOARD RANK: 79

McBride's skills can't be captured in a combine test. He's a gifted back. Just don't expect much as a receiver.

6. Tank Bigsby, Auburn

BIG BOARD RANK: 83

Bigsby is a gifted, all-around runner who could do damage as a bell-cow back if his hands improve.

7. Kendre Miller, TCU

BIG BOARD RANK: 90

Miller is an ascending running back (he won't turn 21 years old until June) who has one of the most well-rounded skill sets in the class.

8. Tyjae Spears, Tulane

BIG BOARD RANK: 100

Spears has the kind of dynamism everyone is looking for at the position, but he has the kind of playstyle that has a history of looking a lot better in college than it does in the NFL.

9. Sean Tucker, Syracuse

BIG BOARD RANK: 116

Tucker is a one-trick pony who has the tools for that trick to translate to the NFL.

10. Roschon Johnson, Texas

BIG BOARD RANK: 119

Johnson would have been a bell cow anywhere else in the country, and he could still end up one in the NFL.
