RB D’Andre Swift, Georgia
Swift seems to be everyone’s top running back in the 2020 NFL Draft. He’s got speed and power with great vision. There’s little doubt he’s a three-down running back in the NFL who will be an immediate starter.
But boy does the league seemingly hate drafting running backs in the first round unless they’re something truly special. Even then, NFL teams should have learned that paying those guys top money is akin to lighting it on fire. With what happened to Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley and Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette, it wouldn’t be that shocking to see Swift fall to the Ravens at the end of the first round. Still, many have him as a top-15 player in the 2020 NFL Draft and being available at No. 28 would be a massive slide, regardless of his position.
