We all know that Ashton Jeanty is going to be a top ten pick. Omarion Hampton and TreyVeon Henderson may slip into round one, but are most likely to go early round two, while Kaleb Johnson and Quinshon Judkins will follow them and likely round out the second round. 

Dylan Sampson will most likely be the next running back off the board, and after that is when the draft truly seems to open up. By consensus, these are the top running backs in the draft, and Sampson will likely go in the top of round three. 

Then, there are 13 running backs who could all make the claim for the seventh-best running back, and a valuable day two pick. How many of these backs slip into round three, and which of them fall into day three, will be telling about the chances they are given in the NFL, so at running back, this is truly when the draft begins.

If you want some added dynamicism in the back field, look for RJ Harvey, DJ Giddens, and Bayshul Tuten. If you are leaning more towards a big power back, look for Cam Skattebo, Ollie Gordon, or Damien Martinez. 

Shifty backs who find ways to grind out yards and could be valuable in rotations include Devin Neal, Jordan James, Jarquez Hunter, and Trevor Etienne. Then, there is the tier of pass-catching backs who will only serve that role, such as LeQuint Allen, Brashard Smith, and Jaydon Blue. 

This really is a pick-your-flavor year, and from running back seven through running back 19, the board will break based on what these teams have an appetite for in their backfield. Which back goes first as the seventh running back, how early they kick off the run, and how these pockets of players get selected will be fun to watch from Friday evening into Saturday afternoon.
