I thought Burkhead would be a steal for someone round 4 or 5.
As I watched the backs drafted ahead of him I thought "I must not know what I'm talking about!"
Here's how it eventuated.
In draft order
Round 2 Giovanni Bernard 2018 56 att 211 yards Shouldn't have been the 1st RB taken, but has had a nice career
Round 2 Leveon Bell 2018 Did not play due to contract dispute - obviously the best in the class. I loved him and had no concerns about his size or speed coming out
Round 2 Montee Ball Out of Football, last played 2014 with Denver more of a product of the system
Round 2 Eddie Lacy Out of Football last played 2017 with Seattle a stud that ate his way out of the NFL
Round 2 Christine Michael 2018 2 att 9 yards never played to his ability
Round 3 Knile Davis Out of Football last played 2016 with KC Was a very good back I think, Alyo really liked
Round 4 Johnathon Franklin Out of Football last played 2013 with Green Bay a post season riser that only produced his last year in school
Round 4 Kyle Juszczyk 2018 8 att 30 yard with SF stud FB
Round 4 Marcus Lattimore Never played for SF due to injury pre-injury, he was the best I ever saw, Gurley later on was a close 2nd, Barkley right on their tails
Round 5 Dennard Robinson Out of Football last played in 2016 for Jacksonville QB turned RB, never liked
Round 5 Stepfan Taylor Out of Football last played in 2016 for Arizona Im a sucker for Stanford kids, I really liked him
Round 5 Joseph Randle Out of Football last played in 2015 for Dallas unfortunately mental health issues cut his career short
Round 5 Chris Thompson 2018 43 att 178 yards others liked him more then me, has been up and down
Round 5 Zac Stacy Out of Football last played in 2015 for NYJ I liked Zac, round 5 seemed high though
Round 5 Mike Gillislee 2018 16 att 43 yards dhould have been better
Round 6 Latavious Murray 2018 140 atts 578 yards a pro's pro. I whiffed on him as I recall
Round 6 Kenjon Barner 2018 0 att 0 yards A plodder coming out as I recall
Round 6 Andre Ellington Out of Football last played 2017 for Houston change of pace back from Clemson? shocked he lasted as long as he did
Round 6 Mike James Out of Football last played 2016 for Tampa Bay I cannot remember him tbh
Round 6 Rex Burkhead drafted by Cincinnatti, languished on the bench, went to NE, playing in his 2nd Superbowl.I I think I liked him more then most, but his average numbers, size, blah blah blah slipped him way down. Just cant measure heart.
