Kylin Hill will rise up this list before the season is out, IMO.

A.J. Dillon's feet aren't quite as quick as Jerome Bettis' were - but they're as quick as I've seen in a long time on a back that big. They're pretty special. Much quicker than Michael Bush's were.

Bettis and Brooks (Brooks?) were so fun to watch - one of those football memories from childhood for me.

I love Travis Etienne, but I'm surprised he's your #1 back. I was fully expecting Swift from Georgia.

I don't think it matters at this point. They're going to be #1/2 for me no matter which order they're in.

That dead leg Swift uses has frozen many a good defensive player in the SEC.

I'm just going by what I seen last in order to break the tie here. Swift fumbling all over the place against Texas, and Etienne steadily getting better against Alabama. Etienne runs behind a less talented offensive line.
 
This is such a good RB class.

Akers has really suffered behind such a poor o-line that he is hard to evaluate, but he doesn't have near the vision Cook had when he was at FSU. Akers is much rawer as a RB as he spent his time in high school as a QB.
 
Obviously, may be lower on the pecking order of needs but would love Dillon.
 
I absolutely love AJ Dillon. I had the pleasure of watching many Boston College games last season. He's one hell of a player. He's a bull running in a China Shop.
 
Dillon is the type of back I've dreamed of for the Dolphins for decades. If Miami were to get a qb in the first round and Dillon later on day 2 it would be a great draft.
 
From just a quick look at some highlights I like Travis Etienne the best he is fast and doesn't appear to go down easily carries the ball inside and outside. D’Andre Swift looks like what 5'9" running back should look like that dead leg move is excellent also runs inside and out. Dillon certainly has the size and speed and if you running outside he looks like a handful but I didn't see run up thru the line he routinely runs around the line.

As big as Dillion is I'm not sure I draft him early, Etienne and Swift you bet.
