Running backs can make the transition much easier from college to the pros.Offensive lineman and most wide receivers take more time.I believe there are four quality running backs that could rush for 1000 yards their rookie years.Eddie Lacy was such a back and Trent Richardson a total bust was rated just as high.The draft is more of a crap shoot then free agerncy and there are always surprises.
1st round running backs : Most scouts have Melvin Gordon and Todd Gurley going in round one.Gurley could fall because of off the field issues and an injury.
2nd or 3rd round TJYelden Tevin Coleman. Some evaluators believe Yeldon will go by no.40 pick , that leaves Tevin Coleman a everydown back. From RotoWorld :
