Here are the top 96 tailbacks in the draft, as rated by NFL Draft Report’s Dave-Te' Thomas. “Round” is Thomas’ prediction. “Grade” is based on pro potential. For an explainer on the grades, click here.
Thomas awarded Richardson a perfect 9.0 grade.
"Not since the days of Emmitt Smith have I had the pleasure of seeing the most complete running back to enter the draft," Thomas said. "Not since Bo Jackson have I ever given a player a 'perfect' grade. That is, not until today"
