David Johnson-RB-Northern Iowa

Hard to declare the top back because they're stuck in different systems behind different offensive lines. It would be hard to go wrong with Bell, Johnson, Gurley, or Elliott though. Johnson and Bell may have better patience and are more proven receivers, but Gurley and Elliott have a ridiculous combination of size and speed.

I like Fournette as much as any of them. RB isn't a big need, but I wouldn't be mad if we take him in the draft.

Johnson just as a receiver is incredible, I thought he had the best hands of any RB in his draft class by far and he might have better hands than any RB in the NFL. He's an OC's dream with the many ways that you can use him, put him in the backfield, the slot, line him up out wide, just move him around all over the place to attack a defense's weakpoints.

Really wishing the 49ers had taken this guy. He's been absolutely phenomenal his first two years in the NFL.

Instead we took Eli Harold

if not the best hes top 3, Elliot is going to be great and I hate it lol, I really like Lamar Miller and Devonte Freeman but your right I wouldn't take them over Johnson..

I think Elliot probably has the best chance to be better than Johnson but you also have to taken in account that Dallas's O-line is much better and they have a QB who can run which can benefit the RB greatly. Aint no one thinking Carson Palmer going to tuck that ball and run (although he did have a rushing TD against us last year haha)

Bell is great but with these injuries and suspensions, he definitely falls behind the front pack.

i think if we were making an olympic team, david johnson would be the RB1
Cardinals are probably releasing this guy.....wouldn't mind signing him at all

He's awful. He wouldn't even be our 4th best RB.

Yea if he costs to much or he has completely declined then no way but if he is cheap then I'm all for it. Dude is a game changer when he is right.

Will probably end up in TB though back with Arians

He's off to Tampa. Once he got paid and started a family, he suddenly got very averse to contact. Good thing he's not playing a contact sport...like football.
