2010 Rookie RB Rankings (11 Feb 2010)

Home | QB | RB | WR | TE .

 
#   Player College Height Weight 40 time
1. CJ Spiller Clemson 5'11" 195 lbs 4.35

Summary: Spiller is a home run threat every time he touches the ball. He provides special teams ability, running ability and receiving ability. If he's used in a Brian Westbrook type role, he will be an absolute monster. He will be a 1st round pick in April and on the right team a dynamic playmaker from the word GO.

2. Jonathan Dwyer Georgia Tech 6'0" 235 lbs 4.50

Summary: He's a big strong back with awesome vision and surprising home run speed once he gets outside. Any team looking for a mail carrier is going to slot Dwyer 1st on their RB board. He should land in a spot where he plays right away and he's got the talent to have instant impact.

3. Jahvid Best California 5'10" 195 lbs 4.35

Summary: He's still hurting from that flying, flipping crash landing in the end zone! The speed and vision Best brings to the table are very Tecmo Bowl. Don't let the injury phase you, it was a fluke play and just shows how athletic the guy is to be that high in the air. He will have an impact instantly and you won't need the 1.1 to get him in your drafts. 

4. Ryan Mathews Fresno St. 5'11" 220 lbs 4.50

Summary:  Here's my sneaky pick #1. It would not shock me at all if this guy was the ROY in the NFL next year. If he lands somewhere he can start, pencil it in now. Great vision and balance, strong runner and just enough speed to say SEE YA! He won't get the hype the others do, but believe me...he's that good.

5. Ben Tate Auburn 5'11" 218 lbs 4.50

Summary:  Sneaky pick #2. Every other nimrod site will have this guy down in the teens of their rankings. Don't fall for the status quo! Tate runs with authority and has great speed. He can go in between the tackles or outside. He's an awesome RB from Auburn...if we had a dollar for every time we heard that. Don't sleep on this guy. Don't believe me go watch the film. 

6. Joe McKnight USC 6'0" 190 lbs 4.40

Summary:  The only thing between McKnight and being a 1st round RB is the health issues. He's an amazing playmaker and when he's healthy, he can do it all. The problem is, if the field isn't mowed he'll sprain his ankle. He suffered one nagging injury after another at SC. This will cause him to slide to the good NFL teams however and given the chance he could be a nice playmaker from day 1.

7. Anthony Dixon Miss. St. 6'1" 235 lbs 4.60

Summary:  Big and slow backs don't usually do that well in today's NFL but this guy is an absolute monster. He will run your mom over if she's in the way. He makes tacklers pay for trying to take him down. His speed is sneaky and he'd fit perfectly as a goal line/power back for someone with one of those little darting backs. 

8. Toby Gerhart Stanford 6'1" 235 lbs 4.55

Summary:  Touchdown Toby is a throwback. He's John Riggins all over again. Today's NFL is so fast and spread out, it's going to take just the right team for Toby to have an impact...coughPittsburghcough. He should land on a team that loves the power run. Toby has some speed and some of the quickest feet you'll ever see on a big white dude. He's very intelligent and does what he has to for his team to succeed.

9. Montario Hardesty Tennessee 6'0" 215 lbs 4.55

Summary:  Hardesty got stuck in a bunch of coaching changes and offense changes that never really let him show his true talent. This guy has a nice size/speed combo and good hands out of the backfield. He's a long-shot/dark-horse that will have to land in the right spot but keep him on your radar in case that happens. 

10. James Starks Buffalo 6'2" 218 lbs 4.54

Summary: Tall RB's don't usually last too long in the NFL but this kid can literally take a game over. He is 6'2" but can cut on a dime. His vision is special and I believe he'll stick in this league. Good size, decent speed and great vision should land him a roster spot.

11. Charles Scott LSU 6'0" 239 lbs 4.60

Summary: The BIG BEEF will bring it on every run. Much like Dixon and Gerhart, he's going to have to fill a power back niche on a team that has a scat back. He could be red zone monster on the right squad though. If he lands on a team that already has a good big back, he won't even make the squad. This one will swing huge on where he's drafted.

12. Wayne State Joique Bell 5'11" 223 4.54
13. Oregon LaGarrette Blount 6'1" 245 4.58
14. LSU Keiland Williams 5'11" 221 4.56
15. Marshall Darius Marshall 5'10" 190 4.49
16. Southern Illinois Deji Karim 5'9" 210 4.46
17. Oklahoma Chris Brown 5'10" 202 4.54
18. Tulane Andre Anderson 5'11" 205 4.54
19. USC Stafon Johnson 5'11" 214 4.54
20. Memphis Curtis Steele 5'11" 194 4.49
21. SMU Shawnbrey McNeal 5'10" 190 4.47
22. Alabama Roy Upchurch 6'0" 210 4.53
23. Miami, FL Javarris James 5'11" 208 4.58
24. Michigan Brandon Minor 6'0" 218 4.59
25. UCONN Andre Dixon 6'1" 200 4.59
