Giovani Bernard. He could end up being the first RB off the board... At this point I would say he's a 2nd rounder but could jump into the late first like Martin and Wilson did last year. Kid is a stud and has the best instincts as a runner in this class IMO (or at least on the same level of Lattimore). His ability to read his blocks and find the hole is great, and I havent even talked about his athletic ability... As of right now, he's my favorite prospect, and Im sure everybody on this sit will get to know him haha. Other notable names- Leveon Bell, Jawan Jamison, Stepfan Taylor, Joseph Randle, Eddie Lacy are all great prospects that I would love on this team. There's also Mike Gillislee, Andre Ellington, Montee Ball and Rex Burkhead. IMO, this class is very deep at the RB position and could have about 7-8 RBs drafted in the first 3 rounds. Theres no elite RB like AP or Trent, but I can definitely see a future Ray Rice, Jamaal Charles or MJD selected in this draft in the 2-3 range.
hes only a sophmore but James Wilder Jr. is someone i would kill for to see in Green and White. 6ft 2, 226 and he looks just as good at FSU as he did in HS. almost all of his runs end with 3-5 defenders failing to bring him down at a standstill. and hes got explosive acceleration and enough wiggle/vision to get to the next level and do damage in the open field. he will be a player, hes a man amongst boys. he went to Plant HS around here and became a legend with runs like these [YOUTUBE]fxHxdqjUdjs[/YOUTUBE] his HS highlights [YOUTUBE]Qepm9LRX5B4[/YOUTUBE] and who could forget this run from this year.
Lattimore just sustain the worst on field knee injury I have ever seen. If he isn't done for life, it will be a miracle. So IMO he is out. I am on Le'Veon Bell's bandwagon. I believe he would fit the NY Jets the best, and reminds me a little of Big Lynch.
Yeah I just came on to post that. Unless someone does what BUF did for McGahee, he's going to lose a lot of stock in the draft. Health has been the concern for him and has stopped him from being a superstar back in the midst on the next level. Might have to be a mid to late round pick. Its such a damn shame.

Jesus Christ, what a terrible injury. I feel so terrible for Lattimore, this is just making me depressed.
That was worse than theismann imo Hope he is able to play again, would love for the jets to draft him
It's a knee injury I suppose, although it looked like a broken leg to me. Horrific injury either way.
I'm just hoping the kid can come back. I mean he's experienced one major injury and I want to believe he can recover from another. But like many are saying it was very McGahee like.
How about trying to draft Baccari Rambo from Georgia, he got great range and ball skills as a FS. Worth a 2nd.
I think some draft pundits had him as a first round value. I'm not positive though. He, Ogletree and Jones make that defense great.
Holy shit... That is one of the worst hits Ive seen. I feel horrible for him and his family. To suffer one knee injury is hard for someone to come back from, but an ACL tear and THIS?... Truly sad. With this news, Gio Bernard IMO will be the first RB off the board if I didnt think so already... I really like Bell, but Bernard is better and more suited for the direction of this league. If Lattimore comes back I really wouldnt mind a mid to late round flier on a first round talent. This injury has nothing to do with him being injury prone (although it may make him injury prone in th future). Truly a freak accident that could have happened to anyone.
