Samaji Perine (and, yes, Joe Mixon, whose OSRS Mobile Gold ability overshadowed his past transgressions in the NFL’s eyes). That doesn’t count the mid- to late-round sleepers that always emerge. Foreman went in the fourth, Ajayi the fifth.Just three years ago, the league had gone consecutive years without taking a back in the first round — but even then, football-watchers knew what was coming. And remember, one of the more talented members expected to be in this class, Georgia’s Nick Chubb, was delayed by his knee injury and is expected to arrive in 2018.Chubb will share a draft class with Penn State’s Saquon.



Barkley, projected to go very early in a draft that’s already being described, and defined, as heavy on quarterbacks.It’s been predicted plenty of times that as these backs emerge and the old guard of quarterbacks fade away — that’s you, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Eli Manning and your contemporaries — the emphasis on how the game is played will perceptibly shift.That makes these backs more valuable when they hit their prime.Unless, that is, the NFL keeps their value low.Because that's still what’s happening today.IYER: Patriots smart to ignore Peterson.



This idea was broached a year ago, when the Cowboys took Elliott fourth overall, signifying that running backs were no longer an afterthought, something that could be grabbed off the scrap heap at a bargain price. Fournette went fourth this year, and McCaffrey eighth.The question raised then was.



When the time came for Elliott’s second contract, would the Cowboys be willing to pay big to keep him? They had not been for DeMarco Murray after his career year, at age 27.Bell is 25, can hardly do more than he already has to prove his worth to the Steelers ... and is on the franchise tag this year while they figure out Buy OSRS Gold how much to pay him.If they do, that is.



Elsewhere this offseason, Peterson, Lynch (who, to be fair, is coming off a year off), Charles, Lacy and Latavious Murray all have settled for contracts in the $3 million range.Peterson is the graybeard of the group at 32. Lacy, however, is 26. Charles is 30.



Factor in injuries, of course; they can never be discounted. But when the NFL decides running backs are borderline useless, virtually interchangeable and a cheap market grab, no number of MVPs, All-Pro selections or thrilling highlights can change that.MORE: How Charles fits in Denver.
