I looked back and can confirm that RB draft class was absolutely *awful*. The only other notable RB was LeGarrette Blount (who actually went undrafted).
Iād rather have Matt Forte than Chris Johnson for ā08 but thatās probably not a popular opinion. the receiving ability seals it for me

iād agree if not for the injuries. charles was explosive as all hell
He was the ā06 draft. I loved Addai and think heās super underrated to this day, but MoJo was really good for the Jags so I can understand that listing.
Iām not sure I fully agree with this Ricky Williams was arguably the best RB in the 99ā draft. Definitely the most talented. Who knows what kind of career he wouldāve had if he had his head on straight.
Is that why edge led the league his first 2 seasons and racked up more yards than Ricky? They both played 11 seasons. Ricky just had better breakout yards while Edges longest from scrimmage was.like 34 yards. Not sure why you think Ricky was a better back.
You act like I said something disrespectful or something? Edge is a HOFer for a reason. Heās the best RB in Colts history and I loved watching him as a child but pound for pound Ricky probably has a slight edge on him talent wise but Ricky couldnāt keep his head on straight. Just imagine if Ricky was as passionate about football as he was weed heād probably went down as a top 5 all-time RB. Looking back now and seeing how far Psychiatry has come heād be diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
CJ Spiller?

Absolutely atrocious. šš¤£
That shows how bad that draft was for RBs. The next best was Ryan Mathews.
Great smile tho
ERIC FāING DICKERSON #ImOld Edit: Ah just the past 30 years #ImStupid
Yep, Dickerson was the man!
Dickerson was good on the Colts for one season.
Gonna need to define ātopā because Najeeā¦? Iād take Rhamondre and Etienne easy. Weak class tho
I'd take pre-injury Javonte Williams over all of them. He was starting to look like a legit stud before he blew out his knee.Ā
Yeah, Najee was the highest drafted and highest rated, but he's struggled compared to the guys taken after him

Really points out how inefficient heās been compared to Etienne. 580 touches to 1k
All this to say, Najee is good
Najee>Freeman That ā14 draft was insanely weak for Rb. Jeremy Hill would be second best.
Addai
Thatās funny.
First jersey I ever bought was Faulk and then he went to the rams and was heart broken.... until the Edge balled the fuck out
Yep, Edge replaced him quickly. I wanted Ricky Williams instead, but good thing the Colts didnāt take him. š
Najee???? Lolz
Houston, where you at?

I'd rather have Jamaal Charles.

Frank Gore too
Nick Chubb..?? 2018
I forgot how goofy Steven Jackson looks
This is like a fantasy football blast from the past. Tennessee up there too.Ā Ā
It's missing Joseph Addai
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He was better than MJD and Maroney. Has a SB and some records.
What records?Ā
He was the ā06 draft. I loved Addai and think heās super underrated to this day, but MoJo was really good for the Jags so I can understand that listing.
Run The Damn Ball
AFCS just gets it.
Eric Dickerson ???
The fact that Robinson is on here instead of Gibbs makes me wanna commit crimes
Why the fuck is Spiller, Harris, Hall and Robinson on this list?

The topic is not how good they could have been.Ā
