    2023 NFL Draft: February Top 10 Running Backs

    by James Layton

    I really like the depth of this year’s running back class. With the league going with a more balance offense and running the ball more, we might get a few backs drafted with in the top 50 picks.

    The senior bowl really highlighted the depth this year. Tulane’s Tyjae Spears really improved his draft stock this past week.

    Let’s get into the rankings.

    1. Bijan Robinson, Texas
    2. Jahmry Gibbs, Alabama
    3. Zach Charbonnett, UCLA
    4. Israel Abanikanda, Pittsburgh
    5. Zach Evans, Ole Miss
    6. Devin Achane, Texas A&M
    7. Kenny McIntosh, Georgia
    8. Tyjae Spears, Tulane
    9. Tank Bigsby, Auburn
    10. Chase Brown, Illinois

    A couple of names that were so close to making this list are Oklahoma’s Eric Gray and Texas Roschon Johnson.

    Let me know how you would have ranked them.

    If you like what you see. Here are February’s top Quarterbacks. 2023 NFL Draft: February Top 10 Quarterback Rankings

    2023 NFL Draft: February Top 10 Quarterback Rankings

    by James Layton

    This is starting to look like an ok draft class for quarterbacks. My Rankings have changed a little bit following the Senior Bowl. I have three players make my top ten that weren’t ranked before.

    Let’s get into the rankings.

    1. C.J. Stroud, Ohio State
    2. Bryce Young, Alabama
    3. Will Levis, Kentucky
    4. Anthony Richardson, Florida
    5. Hendon Hooker, Tennessee
    6. Tanner McKee, Stanford
    7. Jake Haener, Fresno State
    8. Jarren Hall, BYU
    9. Clayton Tune, Houston
    10. Tyson Bagent, Shepherd

    I was really impressed watching Tyson Bagent’s film this past week, and his film from the senior bowl. Stanford’s Tanner Mckee has moved up also. If the draft was this week, I could see him being an early pick in Day 2.
