2022 Re-Draft Rankings, RBs


 The 2022 NFL Season is rapidly approaching. Training Camps open in the next couple of weeks, which means pre-season and the regular season aren't far behind. In the run up, I'm looking at my re-draft rankings for this season. Today, I'm looking at my Top 50 RBs.

RB Rankings:
1. Jonathan Taylor, Colts
2. Najee Harris, Steelers
3. Austin Ekeler, Chargers
4. Christian McCaffrey, Panthers
5. Joe Mixon, Bengals
6. Dalvin Cook, Vikings
7. Aaron Jones, Packers
8. Derrick Henry, Titans
9. Javonte Williams, Broncos
10. D'Andre Swift, Lions
11. Nick Chubb, Browns
12. Leonard Fournette, Buccaneers
13. James Conner, Cardinals
14. Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys
15. Saquon Barkley, Giants
16. Elijah Mitchell, 49ers
17. Antonio Gibson, Commanders
18. David Montgomery, Bears
19. Josh Jacobs, Raiders
20. Breece Hall, Jets
21. J.K. Dobbins, Ravens
22. Alvin Kamara, Saints
23. Cam Akers, Rams
24. Cordarrelle Patterson, Falcons
25. Miles Sanders, Eagles
26. A.J. Dillon, Packers
27. Devin Singletary, Bills
28. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Chiefs
29. Travis Etienne, Jaguars
30. Tony Pollard, Cowboys
31. Chase Edmonds, Dolphins
32. Kareem Hunt, Browns
33. Damien Harris, Patriots
34. Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots
35. Ronald Jones, Chiefs
36. Melvin Gordon, Broncos
37. Rashaad Penny, Seahawks
38. Nyheim Hines, Colts
39. Michael Carter, Jets
40. Ken Walker, III, Seahawks
41. Isaiah Spiller, Chargers
42. Marlon Mack, Texans
43. Gus Edwards, Ravens
44. Dameon Pierce, Texans
45. J.D. McKissic, Commanders
46. Darrel Williams, Cardinals
47. Darrell Henderson, Jr., Rams
48. Tyler Algeier, Falcons
49. Rachaad White, Buccaneers
50. Khalil Herbert, Bears

Running Back is one of the most difficult positions to try and handicap. As you'll see here, I'm forecasting teams I think will rush a lot, teams that should have committees and some good players who probably won't play a full season. That includes Kamara, who's likely to be suspended, and Dobbins, who's likely to begin on the PUP list.

I also think Williams takes a step forward and Gordon will be more of a supporting player. Meanwhile, some teams seem hard to handicap at all. In short, draft RBs early and often. It's time for a big spread approach.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju...

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...
