BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~65 Overall
Current ADP: ~75
ANALYSIS: Derrius Guice is a player that most viewed as a potential RB1 before he tore his ACL during training camp last season. Guice came out of LSU as an afterthought behind current Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette. However, he was viewed as the more complete threat with better pass-catching ability, while Fournette was content to run over anyone and anything in front of him. During his final two seasons in college, Guice was a touchdown monster with 26 total over that time.
Guice was expected to be the starter for Washington last year until his injury. As long as he's healthy, why is that expected to change? Washington is going through their rebuild, and they're letting younger players develop along the way. When healthy, Washington has one of the best offensive lines in the NFL. They'll give him plenty of running room when he's on the field, and Washington will likely give him between 18-20 touches per game. Those are decent numbers for any running back.
Getting that running back around pick 75 is a potential steal. If you're looking for a running back with a great ceiling and a decent floor in the middle rounds, look no further.
