| 1 | Arian Foster | HOU | |
| 2 | Doug Martin | TB | |
| 3 | Adrian Peterson | MIN | |
| 4 | Jamaal Charles | KC | show |
[Jun 14th] Bob Henry says: I've pegged Charles as a player who could really blow up this year in Andy Reid's offense. Charles has the potential to catch 60+ passes while maintaining his incredible 5+ YPC average. With 783 carries under his belt, his career average is a ridiculous 5.8 YPC. He may never score more than 6-to-8 TDs, but he could flirt with 300 touches and even 2000 total yards if the Chiefs improve as much as I anticipate them doing under Reid's guidance.

| 21 | LeVeon Bell | PIT | show |
[Jun 14th] Bob Henry says: I've watched enough of Bell at Michigan State to feel confident in his ability to beat out his competitors to become the Steelers next featured back. Often miscast as T.J. Duckett/Jerome Bettis type, Bell has good hands, instincts in the passing game, good feet and I believe he's absolutely capable of playing three downs and immediately becoming one of the few true workhorse-type running backs in a league becoming devoid of them.

| 22 | Stevan Ridley | NE | |
| 23 | David Wilson | NYG | |
| 24 | Montee Ball | DEN | show |
[Jun 14th] Bob Henry says: I have my own misgivings about John Fox's willingness to throw Ball into the mix as a rookie, but all signs point toward Ball having a major role and making a great initial impression on Peyton Manning, which is going to be key for Ball to earn trust. Ball's prowess at the goal line and his under-rated versatility lead me to project him for 250+ touches with a decent chance of double digit TDs. Ball still has plenty of work to do to earn what I'm projecting, but everything to this point is trending positively for him.

| 25 | Andre Brown | NYG | show |
[Jun 14th] Bob Henry says: David Wilson probably deserves the ADP top billing treatment he's getting so far this year, but I urge you not to overlook Brown. Wilson has much to prove in pass protection and Brown is already the clear-cut leader for goal-line touches after scoring 8 times in just 10 games last year. Barring injury, Brown should still see around 10 carries a game. If he earns a role on third down, he could become one of the steals of the draft. Durability is a concern, but not any more than it is for any other ball carrier in the NFL.

[Jun 14th] Bob Henry says: The red flags are there for Arian Foster. Overuse? Check. Signs of breaking down? Check. A highly talented backup capable of taking the reins and delivering strong RB1 value? Check. Tate has his own durability concerns, but so does every other RB in the NFL. He's a MUST hand-cuff for Foster owners and an excellent speculative pick for other owners.
