1. Bijan Robinson, Texas

— The only round one back to me he’s Saquon if Saquon was able to stay healthy and is a top 15 value.

Mar 5, 2023; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Texas running back Bijan Robinson (RB21) during the NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.

2. Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama

— His speed and ability as a target out of the backfield make him a solid round two value.

Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs (1) runs past Texas A&M defenders on Saturday, October 8, 2022.

3. Chase Brown, Illinois

— I love his balance, body lean, toughness, and he’s physical and has good size.

Oct 1, 2022; Madison, Wisconsin, USA; Illinois Fighting Illini running back Chase Brown (2) rushes with the football during the second quarter against the Wisconsin Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium.

4. Zach Charbonnet, UCLA

— He could be an absolute steal in round two or three for someone. He has RB1 potential for the right team.
