running back

He made 11 pretty reasonable picks - starting with a star running back in Ashton Jeanty who together with veteran quarterback Geno Smith could give the offence new life.

The pick doubled down on offensive firepower after the team took running back Omarion Hampton in the first round with the 22nd pick Thursday.

Having previously played running back, wide receiver, offensive line, defensive line and safety meant that he knew what almost everyone else on the field was trying to do.

He was the second running back picked in the first round Thursday, following Boise State star Ashton Jeanty, who went sixth overall to the Las Vegas Raiders.

That quarterback, along with superb running back Saquon Barkley, forced opponents to commit an extra defender to stop the run, therefore making themselves more vulnerable to the pass.
