"2024 NFL Draft: Uncertain Top Prospect and Potential First Round Upset for Running Backs"

The 2024 NFL Draft's running back class lacks a definitive top prospect, potentially leading to a historically long wait for the first running back to be selected. While the class is not devoid of talent, it lacks a defining superstar and faces devaluation on draft night due to the league's shift towards committee play and short-term contracts. The lack of consensus on the top running back prospect has led to a wide range of opinions across personnel departments, with the class expected to offer depth in the middle rounds. Several running backs, including Jonathon Brooks, Jaylen Wright, and Blake Corum, are highlighted as potential mid-round picks with varying strengths and weaknesses.
