INDIANAPOLIS -- Howie Roseman used the word "historic" to describe the quality and depth at the running back position in the 2017 NFL Draft. Just three years ago, no running backs were selected in the first round. This year, NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said there are four running backs who he has given first-round grades to - Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, and Alvin Kamara. The league's leading rusher in 2016 was a rookie - Dallas' Ezekiel Elliott, the fourth overall pick. The No. 2 rusher was also a rookie in Chicago's Jordan Howard. Unlike Elliott, however, Howard was a fifth-round choice.
