2026 Draft: Running Backs

[Zuma]

An RB in the 6th round works for me. Question is...a backup for Rham or Hendo?

I think the room is quite well set up at the moment.

1. Power back - Rham
2. Change of pace - Hendo
3. 3rd down - Larison

My guess, if we add a fourth in the draft would be a backup/potential long-term replacement for Rham.

Heidenreich - RB
Heidenreich - WR
Draft both guys.

He needs a little more blocking than Jonathan Taylor but he can be a similar high impact RB for a team.

I really, really want this guy. Will be thrilled if we get him. I just want other guys more who should go in the same range.

"Three down skills and built like a boulder."

Interesting tidbit from Brugler:

- Transformed his body and dropped 15 pounds during spring of 2025, but scouts are concerned about how much his weight can
fluctuate.

So does that mean he'd been playing at 235 or did he play 2025 at 205???

Rob Stanton notes that Coleman was more explosive in 2024 than in 2025:

I’ve spoken to sources at Washington and understand he was hampered by wearing a brace in 2025. The tape the previous year is said to be a far better reflection of what he is as a player.

More effing "unicorn" crap:

Marcus Freeman: 'Unicorn' RB Jeremiyah Love could be an elite wide receiver

Love is a very good player. But all this bloody hype is ridiculous.

I like Kaelon Black in the same way I liked Kyle Monangai last year. Just a good solid reliable RB.

Be nice if he could last to the 6th round

Black is listed as a 5th/6th rounder by Brugler. Draftscout says he could go anywhere from Priority UDFA to 4th round.

Not sure why there seems to be such a big discrepancy for him..
