Around the NFL: Javonte Williams
Everyone gets excited about rookie running backs. We pretty much know what the best-case scenario is for established veterans, and those players are drafted accordingly (early). With rookies, there's always the chance you get 1st-round types of numbers from a guy you can select in the fourth or fifth round of drafts, and winning a league because of it.

Around the NFL: Thunder and Lightning?
The NFL combine isn't being held this year, so the only look that teams are getting at players is individual pro days.

Andy Richardson: First-round running backs
Some brief discussion yesterday about first-round running backs. Depending on the source and the mock draft, you can find someone who thinks there will be 1-2 players at the position selected in the first round, or more. Recent history suggests just 1 or perhaps 2 is most likely. more »
