Episode 11 - Ready for the Draft 2020 Podcast Series

Readyforthedraft.com's Gregg Schutze shares his passion for the NFL draft and takes you on a journey leading up to the 2020 NFL Draft.

The RB position was once thought to be devalued in this ever-evolving game of football.  However, just look at the impact being made by the likes of Christian McCaffrey, Todd Gurley, Alvin Kamara, Ezekiel Elliott, David Johnson, Saquon Barkley.....shall we keep going?  Then there are backs who are carving out a niche for their team, guys like Austin Ekeler, James White, Tarik Cohen, Rex Burkhead, Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida.....this list is continuing to grow.  This year's draft class has five backs who have clearly separated themselves from the rest of the pack in Jonathan Taylor, D'Andre Swift, Travis Etienne, JK Dobbins and Chuba Hubbard.  However, there's depth to the group as Eno Benjamin, Cam Akers, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, AJ DIllon, Lamichal Perine are all turning heads.  Then there's a versatile back like Xavier Jones of SMU whose versatility could surprise as a mid-Day 3 pick.  Gregg takes a look at his top picks for this year's RB class.  Gregg also takes a look at what he saw during Week 8 of the College Football season and reviews the matchups to watch this weekend.
