Bryce Love (RB, Stanford)

Smaller, shiftier backs have a role in the NFL today far more than they did 10-20 years ago. Offenses are far more specialized now and teams love having those types of options to add more versatility and complexity to their scheme. However, those types of backs don’t tend to go early in the draft, which may not sit well with Bryce Love.

Love is a speedy back who is ultra-dangerous in the open field. He has the vision and agility to make defenders miss and if he gets a lane, he’s gone. The problem is his power element isn’t quite there. Once defenders get their hands on him, he’s more than likely going to go down. His lower body just doesn’t have the strength to shrug off tackles like a Marshall Faulk or Barry Sanders.
