Sure...why not?

After those first two, no one really had an eye-popping season.

It was a season of "meh-sure" all around.

I think the meh comes from this being the weakest QB class in memory. Outside of an extremely overhyped Shadewers, and Cam Ward playing for the typical also-ran, Miami, there was very little star power at the glamour position. 

But make no mistake, there are some studs in that group.  Cam Skattebo had 1,711 yards and 21 TD's on the ground, plus 605 and 3 catching footballs.  The RB position is officially back in the NFL, and he'll do quite gooder.

Tyler Warren had 104 grabs for 1,233 yards and crossed the goal line 8 times.  He's gonna make a ship ton of $$$ at the next level. Dude is a beast at 6'6" 260, and looks like he invented the TE position.

I've seen some projections for Abdul Carter being the #1 overall.  Unblockable off the edge.

Wait....they don't have Mealrow at the top?  This list is garbage.

I did think the Skateboard kid from Arizona St was/is a good story. I mean a white boy at RB?
