Ladies and gentlemen, fellas, fellas, welcome back. Hey, today we're getting really close.

0:04.3

Less than three weeks away from the NFL season kicking off. And we are talking about five running backs, five.

0:09.7

Count them, my motherfucking fingers, five running backs that we are seriously avoiding in drafts this year, at least that I am.

0:15.8

And we're going to start it off by triggering everybody. And it's based on ADP.

0:19.8

Keep that straight. Keep that on your head top.

0:22.2

Average draft position. If these guys fall by five spots at that running back position,

0:26.4

well then yeah, sure, take them. If they fall a half a round to a round or two, then they should.

0:30.0

Then sure, take them. That's where value starts to come in. But at their current ADPs,

0:33.4

they lack any value. And a couple of these guys, if if not all of them are going to trigger you in the comment section i already know that because they are all great real-life running backs i think they're

0:41.1

all great players i don't hate them i hate their adp's the first one is derrick henry yes he goes

0:46.2

for 2 000 yards and 17 touchdowns last year he's going off the board as the running back 3

0:50.1

he's my running back 6 but if he's going off the board as running back three, where did he finish last year with that historic over 2,000 yard season? 17 touchdowns. Well, he finishes the running back

0:58.5

three. Why? Because he's not involved in the passing game in this offense. I think he could

1:02.2

be fine in the passing game. They just don't use him there. He has never had a 20 reception season in the

1:05.9

NFL. And because of that, he does have downside because now he plays with what looks to project as a bottom five if not

1:11.4

bottom three defense in the NFL. They bring in Julio Jones because they probably know their

1:15.4

defense is bad and they're in a window to win now. So if they're going to have to pass and play

1:19.1

from behind more, might as well upgrade from Corey Davis to Julio Jones. And this will just lead to

1:23.1

less rushing attempts for Derek Henry. So to have the similar production as last year and to finish as a number three running back, you're going to need close to 2,000 yards and 15 plus touchdowns.

1:31.8

That's being naive to bank on that yet again without the passing game work and now a worse

1:35.6

situation. So I do think if Henry falls to running back six that that's fine. It bakes in the

1:39.2

floor that maybe he finishes running back nine, but he's not that bad of a value for you as compared to you taking him in the top three backs. In the first round, you want to limit your risks as much as possible.
