The NFL Combine is approaching as we head toward the NFL Draft in April. Here’s where I stand on the top 10 at each position, continuing today with the running backs.

*****
1. Kenneth Walker III, Michigan State
There is no Najee Harris in this draft and arguably no first-rounder, but Walker’s ability to make people miss and make something out of nothing has him first for me.
*****
2. Breece Hall, Iowa State
Hall is an excellent second-round value as a productive back who has proven durable and rarely takes a loss.
*****Â Â
3. Isaiah Spiller, Texas A&M
Spiller runs with speed and sneaky power, and his build is perfect for the NFL. He could rise to the top of this list easily.
*****Â Â
4. Kyren Williams, Notre DameÂ
This is where things get a bit clogged but I like Williams' ability to make something out of nothing and catch the ball.
*****Â Â
5. Zonovan Knight, NC State
I expected a better season from Knight but he has good size. He can also impact in the return game and he’s a patient runner with good vision.
*****Â Â
6. Rachaad White, Arizona State
White is a big back with quick feet who can catch the ball. He would be perfect in some systems.
*****Â Â
7. Brian Robinson, AlabamaÂ
Robinson improved his stock late in the season as a big back who always falls forward and can gain yards after contact.
*****Â Â
8. James Cook, Georgia
Many have Cook higher than I do and his combine and pro day could vault him up. He’s a poor man’s Alvin Kamara with obvious bloodlines.
*****Â Â
9. Dameon Pierce, Florida
Pierce could be the hardest runner on this list and just hasn’t had as many opportunities as others.
*****Â Â
10. Jerrion Ealy, Ole MissÂ
Ealy is a flash with great burst and quick feet who can also be dangerous as a receiver.
