Top 5 RBs Picked in the 2015 NFL Draft?

[lagalaxyfan23]

The NFL draft is coming up, and I'm wondering which five RBs you think will be picked first! Here's my prediction for the order in which the top RBs will be picked:

1) Melvin Gordon
2) Jay Ajayi
3) Todd Gurley
4) Tevin Coleman
5) Duke Johnson

I think Gordon and Ajayi will go in the first round, Gurley in the early second, and Coleman and Johnson in the third round.

What do you guys think?

Whoever gets gurley is lucky.

He is crazy good

Amber Abdullah will be one of the first five taken.

[Greenfuzz]

1. Gurley
2. Gordon
3. Coleman
4. Ajayi
5. Abdullah

I was going to put him in there, but I fear that teams will view him as only a third down back which could hurt his stock.

I'm not impressed by Tevin Coleman, at all.
Gurley has freakish potential, if you're gonna draft a RB early, might as well go for that.

[Fields16]

if ajayi gets picked b4 gurley whoever does that will regret it.... alot

[TheMosh]

zach zenner will be the true steal of the draft

[mrmojorisin71]

Hoping the texans snag duke Johnson to be fosters replacement

[Brafcauknid]

It all depends on how gurley's knee checks out, he wouldnt let teams have their docs look at it during the combine which Im sure dropped him behind melvin gordon for a lot of teams, but if it checks out ok leading upto the draft, I'd be pretty suprised if he isnt the first RB taken.

[sportzkid]

1 gurley
2 gurley
3 gurley
4 gurley
5 All of the above

I think Johnson will be the steal RB drafted after the 1st round.

[bballcollector]

Gurley all the way.

You must not watch a lot of IU football then. Admittedly, me either....but this kid is damn legit. IU played their 3rd string, true FR QB most of the year and he was barely just better than terrible. Coleman was so good that teams knew what was coming and couldn't stop him.

He's a legit top 5 back in this draft. I'd maybe even put him ahead of Gordon on the list. Will be a mid 2nd to early 3rd rounder for sure.

Campbell is very impressive. If he learns how to be patient he'll be great.

I haven't watched a lot, but I've watched some. He seems like a typical case of a player who can abuse space in college, but won't be able to create it for himself in the pros.

Gordon had a solid pro day showing off his pass blocking, route running, catching ability to scouts from 30 NFL teams. Those were his question marks coming into this offseason since he was very rarely ever asked to do any of that prior to this past season (James white and montee ball...). They already knew he could run now I think all of those concerns about 3rd down are put to rest. Prototype size, work ethic, and character to boot and Gordon is gone by the 15th pick and first RB off the board. Mark it down.

[MeetJSquared]

You are probably right on the list.

I just hope this Mariota crap loses steam, because I don't want him. If we're not drafting defense in the first round, then it better be a running back.

[popmaz]

I would take my chances on Terrell Watson later versus any of these other backs in the first or second round.

Ran a 4.3 today. Will be moving up the boards.

That's his highlight video. In theory, it should be his most impressive plays. I see a very fast player taking advantage of huge running lanes, poor ankle tackles, and bad pursuit angles, and not much else.

First time I have seen the guy. I see a player with blazing speed that knows WHEN to cutback and hits the holes very fast while ACCELERATING through them. Looks like a natural running back to me. I wouldn't mind seeing the cowboys pick him up in a later round.
