Tuesday Debate - Running Backs

This is week 2 of the Tuesday Debate. Today we are focusing on runningbacks. Here is the rankings from cbssports.com.
Below is what I think about a few of the league's top runningbacks.

Chris Johnson - I feel like he is going to be a bust this year. He had around 278 carries in the last 8 games. That wears down a running back. He is also holding out and that is not good either. I would not draft him till 3rd round.

Steven Jackson - He is another one I feel like is going to be bust. He had major back surgery during the offseason this year. So I do not expect good production out of him this year. I would push him to 3rd or 4th round.

Ryan Grant - I think he could have a great year. He is on most draft boards around the 15th spot but I would bump him up there. Green Bay made some additions to their O-line during the offseason and I expect him to take full advantage of that. I would push him to 1st round maybe early 2nd if you think you can get him that late.

I must say that this year I have a lot of doubts about runningbacks. As many of you know my history shows that I always draft RB's in the 1st and 2nd rounds. But this years prospects are not looking good as the league goes to more 2 back plans that is putting the profit from the runningbacks down. I have been strongly considered not drafting runningbacks in the 1st and 2nd rounds.
