2014 NFL DRAFT | Pro Comparisons | Top 5 RBs | Carlos Hyde
19Sleeper: Lache Seastrunk of the Baylor Bears reminds me of DeMarco Murrary of the Dallas Cowboys. Seastrunk had a few injuries in his last season at Baylor, but has a great combination of size and speed, much like Murrary. Surprised to see him not much higher on peoples draft boards, but he's a beast.
5th: Jeremy Hill of the LSU Tigers reminds me of Steven Jackson of the Atlanta Falcons. Hill is a beast at 6'2 230lbs and had good speed with that size. I think he needs to work on his patience in the pocket and finding the correct hole, but he'll develop into a great back.
4th: Ka'Deem Carey of the Arizona Wildcats reminds me of a less refined Maurice Jones Drew. I think Carey needs to continue to bulk up and get into the 215-220 range, but he's still a very explosive running back, good patience and a good combine could boost his stock.
3rd: Bishop Sankey of the Washington Huskies reminds me of Giovanni Bernard of the Cincinnati Bengals. Sankey has some of the best hands in this year's class, and will be a playmaker no matter what team he gets drafted too. I don't think he'll be a 3 down back right away, but presents great value.
2nd: Tre Mason of the Auburn Tigers reminds me of Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens. Both on the smaller side of size for the running backs, Mason, much like Rice, are very well rounded. Great hands, phenomenal awareness for finding the correct holes, great combination of speed and size.
1st: Carlos Hyde of the Ohio State Buckeyes reminds me of a more consistent Legarrette Blount of the New England Patriots. Blount is the type of back if he got more consistent carries, he's be a 1200-1400 yard back, and that's what Hyde can be right out of the gate if drafted to a team. A monster that loves to finish his runs, if he runs a good forty time he could shoot up in the draft. I think people are sleeping on Hyde, he could, much like Eddie Lacy, end up with rookie of the year honours after the season has finished.
