A few additional notes about our RB-s ranking board:
-- I didn't think I'd like Tevin Coleman as much as I did. I'm biased against RBs under 210-pounds...as overall, all-around useful RBs. I worry Coleman could fall short as well. His speed came in better than expected, and we can only project the rest of his Pro Day/Combine-type measurables because he hasn't recorded anything but the 40-time and bench press on record. His tape is terrific--much better than Melvin Gordon's.
Coleman is an encouraging, but consider him with a 'soft' passing grade based on the fact that not all information we want is available.
-- It's not that we don't like Melvin Gordon, but I'm in no way sold that he is a star. His measurables/speed-agility times do not warrant it. Wisconsin RBs have been overheated in college to the pros, and most all decent RBs crushed the Big-Ten last year. He's not close to being as talented as Todd Gurley.
-- Ameer Abdullah could be a Darren Sproles-type star in the NFL, but he will not be a 250+ carry a season, workhorse on purpose RB in the NFL...not for long.
-- A healthy Malcom Agnew is a 'sleeper' for the NFL--a guy who could walk in and produce immediately. Very polished, son a former NFL quality player and now coach (Ray Agnew).
