I have been googling the RBs I don't know this month and am surprised how many look really good enough to be starters. You might be able to find a decent RB in every round of this draft it looks like to me.
Here is one 5th or 6th rounder with potential:
Israel Abanikanda, RB, Pittsburgh
I am of the mindset that you should draft a mid round RB every 2 years no matter what. There are always good ones, even if they can only give you 2-3 years.
I love some of the RB's in the mid rounds this year. Let me also say, I think Bijan Robinson is the best RB prospect in a decade, and I would break my own rule to draft him in the 1st round....just not at #3 overall.
BACK TO MY POINT....
Here are some mid round RB's who I would love to have:
Miller (TCU), Deuce Vaugh (KState), Tyjea Spears (Tulane)
AND my super sleeper late round guy
Hunter Luepke (HB/FB) ND State. I imagine him as a do it all H back, Kyle Jyuscheck type player. Check out his stats on limited usage. The kid has enough speed to bust a long run, he has a nose for the endzone, he can catch, and ZERO fumbles.
