Drafting A Running Back

whats the first thing you look for in a RB

1.) SPEED
2.) POTENTIAL
3.) SIZE
3.5) Carrying
4.) OVERALL
5.) BIG NAME PLAYER
6.) AGE


and my real reason is would players or you still pick Chris Johnson if he was 86 Speed as the number 1 pick in RB'S? I ask this because a friend said he still be the number 1 pick and i strongly disagree

no i wouldn't pick cj if he had 86 speed, the first things that i look at are speed carrying and elusiveness/truck, then catching

i don't care about bignames or the size or or overall or even the potential. the only potential i look for is my own potential to use the guy.

speed, carrying and hands

For a good trucking running back, doesnt need to be fast because he can break alot of tackles (like brandon jacobs) but will need a good carry rating...i also like truckers with good stiff arms...90+ trucking is pretty good, with 88+stiff arm, 88+ carry with a minumim of 85 speed...that is a good rb

for elusive runners, i do like 93+ speed with 90+ elusivness...carry can be lower because u can outrun many defenders so 80 + carry rating... i dont look at stiff arm rating because elusive runners are not strong...juking to be 88+

i like all my rb to be good pass catchers....
