9. Philadelphia Eagles

Derrius Guice . 9. player. 54. It feels like the Philadelphia Eagles are going down the Andrew Luck road with their handling of Carson Wentz. They’re arming him with receivers, sure but at the same time they’re putting a ton of the offensive burden on his shoulders. One might argue well before the young man is ready for such responsibility. Luck handled it for a time but the hits began to pile up and now he battling injury problems. <p>The best way to curb such issues is by running the football. Thus far the Eagles haven’t found their feature back who can ease the pressure on Wentz. If they fail once again in 2017, then drafting Derrius Guice is a no brainer. He was hugely productive when Leonard Fournette went down with injury at LSU, showing the kind of vision, power and burst that NFL teams love to see from their backs.</p>. RB. LSU
