These are the 10 players whose stocks fell the most after the NFL draft.

0:04.0

And believe it or not, we're starting with Kyram Williams, who's actually a loser after

0:07.4

the NFL draft weekend.

0:09.0

And the reason is because the Rams in round three ended up taking a running back and not

0:12.6

just any running back, arguably the best running back in this draft class and Blake

0:16.0

Corm out of Michigan.

0:17.0

Now I didn't have him as my running back one, but he was definitely a top five running back and probably a borderline top three running back in the class. Now, with all that said, Kyron Williams' role last year was still elite. He was the number two running back in all of fantasy football behind only Christian McCaffrey. And he arguably had a better role than Christian McAfrey. You can see right here, he played 84% of the snaps. I mean, that's the most out of anybody in the NFL last year. And if you scroll over his opportunities, that's his targets and carries per game, 23 per game. In today's NFL, for a player like

0:42.1

Kyram Williams who came out of nowhere last year, that is elite. So it may be easy to think, oh,

0:45.8

a third round running back in Blake Quorum. This really isn't going to change much, but believe it or

0:49.5

not, it's going to. Because part of Kyramiam's great success and awesome season in twenty twenty three was he

0:54.3

had no competition so he could see that elite role in eighty four eighty five percent of the ram snaps

0:58.9

because his competition a year ago as you can see right here was these two guys it was ronievers

1:03.8

and zach evans who shaw mcvay and the rams just did not trust to put on the field evans was a

1:07.5

late round i think i want to say a sixth round draft pick last year and he could barely get on the field even in the preseason. Now, it's not like Kyra Malames only found success

1:14.1

because of his large role. It definitely helped a good amount, but he was also efficient. He ranked

1:18.2

top 10 in yards per carry and yards created 80% snapshot. And if it's going to

1:28.0

drop down to even 60 or 65% with Blake Quorum back there now, I'm not touching him in the top 12

1:33.0

or even top 15 picks. Because as I mentioned, Blake Quorum being in this backfield does matter.

1:37.5

He is a legit running back and arguably the best pure runner that was in this draft class.

1:41.5

Now, Sean McVeigh was interviewed after the draft like most GMs and coaches are. And he basically said when somebody asked him about Blake Quorum, yeah,

1:46.9

we saw a lot of Kyram Williams straight right here. One of the things that jumped off is there's a lot

1:50.7

of traits that reminded me of Kyram Williams. So they kind of view these guys as maybe not equals,
