00:00 >> Day two is gonna be the running back day.
00:02 I'm curious to see, I have a little bit of a theory here because I've got about six
00:07 to eight running backs that are very closely graded.
00:09 I don't have any of them up to where we had Dijon or
00:11 Gibbs last year, like with those types of grades.
00:14 But six to eight really solid players.
00:16 I wonder if we're gonna see a game of chicken in the second round where teams
00:20 are saying, well, we've got the grade to take this guy here.
00:23 But we don't wanna be the first one in line,
00:25 we just need to make sure we're not the last one in line.
00:27 So does that push the running backs down?
00:31 Maybe we could get to the bottom of the second,
00:34 maybe even the top of the third round.
00:35 And then once the first one goes, I think you'll see all these guys come off
00:40 the board.
00:41 But some of the names, John Brooks coming off injury from Texas.
00:45 He's as talented as any of these guys.
00:47 My two favorites are Jalen Wright from Tennessee,
00:51 who's just real springy and juicy, stop start quickness.
00:56 Home run hitter, finishes runs, he can get skinny through the hole.
01:00 Really, really quick feet, 210 pounds, so he's got a little bit of size to him,
01:04 enough size to him.
01:05 But he's probably the fastest, the most explosive of all these guys.
01:09 And then Marshon Loy from SC, 217 pounds,
01:14 reminded me ironically of DeAndre Swift, that was my comp for him.
01:18 But patient, he's explosive, I think he'll run really well in Indianapolis as well.
01:23 Kind of an aggressive attacking running style.
01:26 But those are two of my favorites, along with a little bit undersized version
01:30 there of Bucky Irving, who reminds me of Devin Singletary, ultra quick.
01:33 Full speed change of direction stuff, very elusive.
01:38 He caught 58 balls too, so good in the past game.
01:43 So those are my three favorite guys just in terms of watching them.
01:47 Ray Davis from Kentucky, Estime from Notre Dame,
01:49 Braylon Allen from Wisconsin, Trey Benson.
01:52 Those guys are all in that mix together.
