Ceh is pretty close to a bust but not Sankey level
CEH is a mega bust.
I’d add Gio to that list too. Not Sankey level but dude was mid his entire career.
CEH has been a pretty big bust.
Giovani Bernard and Leonard Fournette have been too, to an extent.
But Sankey was a different level
“running backs are a dime a dozen”… I always think of Sankey or Chris Henry when I hear that ..
Ehh I’m not a fan of taking RBs in the first round in general.
That isn’t to say you can’t or a team that does should be mocked, but in general, if you take a RB before pick #20 there was likely a significantly better talent still on the board along with several running backs in the 2nd round at a similar enough level to be a better picks in terms of value.
Gio never really made feature back. Fournette got cut. CEH is a bust. Najee gets a lot of volume, but hasn’t really been that great.
It is also hard to tell with Sankey. He was on horrid teams, fumbled a few times, and we just gave up on him. He outperformed the people that we stuck with.
Yo who the hell is this Sankey guy I can’t even remember
I think Sankey is the only one on this list picked outside the top 50 draft picks for that year. Yea he was a bust, but his expected output wasn’t quite the same as the other players on the list
Looking at the others from the 2014 draft, there were not any studs. Maybe Devonta Freeman for a couple of years. Still, he or Carlos Hyde were at least in the league for a few years.
