We finish off the offensive side of the FYS positional draft preview with Tight Ends and Running Backs. Hopefully nobody takes any of these in Round 1. Glares at Detroit
Tight End
Top TIER
Trey McBride Colorado State
McBride is a great receiving tight end. A poor mans Hunter Henry. He doesn’t add much as a blocker but should be a Round 2 pick with his athleticism.
Jeremy Ruckert Ohio State
Most complete tight end in this class with good blocking technique and good route runner. Should be a day 2 selection.
Second TIER
Charlie Kolar Iowa State
Good size but not explosive or physical. Day 3 selection.
Greg Dulcich UCLA
Athletic tall tight end but lacks blocking skills. Must work on his explosion off the line. Day 3 pick
Isaiah Likely Coast Carolina
Athletic and good receiver but a small frame. His blocking needs work. Day 3 pick.
Running Back
Top TIER
Kenneth Walker III Michigan State
Low tough to tackle RB with some power. Not a good receiver or blocker though. Round 2 pick. Think JK Dobbins
Breece Hall Iowa State
All around back with some miss ability. Not a fast runner but can do a little bit of everything. Duce Staley and a Round 2 pick
Second TIER
Isaiah Spiller Texas A&M
Thick back with good receiving ability. Makes defenders miss but no long speed. Mile Sanders lite. Round 3 pick
Dameon Pierce Florida
Bowling ball but no acceleration. Round 4
Kyren Williams Notre Dame
Good balance and power with no long speed. JK Dobbins lite. Round 4 or later
Jashaun Corbin Florida State
Twitchy RB but needs better balance. Day 3 pick
