NFL Draftscout has the top 12 RB's ranked overall as:

9th Leonard Fournette
10th Dalvin Cook
21st Christian McCaffrey
35th Royce Freeman
51st Jeremy McNichols
68th Samaje Perine
75th D'Onta Foreman
81st Nick Chubb
90th Wayne Gallman
110th Elijah Hood
126th Brian Hill
134th Corey Clement

That is deep, all the way into 4th round

"Foreman is way bigger than people realize. He has elite size almost to the point where he might need to lose weight to maintain his quickness at the next level," said NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein. "Good vision. Quick feet. Proved he can handle being an every-down back this year. His workload this season might be cause for some concern, but it hasn't been an issue until this year."

Zierlein has compared Foreman's skill set to that of Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart. Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles, himself a former Longhorn, called Foreman the best running back in college football earlier this season.

Big fast power back

A good fit for what Kelly likes to do with the inside zone stuff. He doesn't hesitate or dance around, simply looks for daylight, hits the hole hard and finishes runs with a wallop.

He always falls forward when getting hit like Zeke.. He has good balance. Im not sure on his blocking or catching but what i can remember he wasnt bad at either

Coming from a UT fan and a D'onta Foreman fan.. This guy has a boat load of talent running the ball, but he has trouble holding onto the ball and also stinks in pass protection. Without fumbles and bad blocking skills, no way he'd slip out of the second round with his size and speed. I think he'll go in the 3rd.
