1. Adrian Peterson, MIN--His durability won't be a concern.
2. LaDainian Tomlinson, SD--Age and injuries are becoming a concern.
3. Steven Jackson, STL--If he can stay healthy he'll be a top back.
4. Marshawn Lynch, BUF--I expect big things this year.
5. Marion Barber, DAL--Should excel in his new starting role
6. Joseph Addai, IND--Injuries are a concern.
7. Clinton Portis, WAS--Starting the season without injury concerns.
8. Brian Westbrook, PHI--A real guessing game trying to figure out if he's going to play.
9. Frank Gore, SF--With a better passing game Gore should have more room to run.
10. Willis McGahee, BAL--Inexperienced quarterbacks puts offense in McGahee's hands.
*********
11. Earnest Graham, TB--Graham surprised everyone with 10 touchdowns last season.
12. Ryan Grant, GB--Undoubtedly will finish the season ranked higher than this.
13. Jamal Lewis, CLE--The cornerstone to a young Browns team.
14. LenDale White, TEN--Fits perfectly in the Titans run-first offense.
15. Willie Parker, PIT--Lack of touchdowns is disturbing.
16. Larry Johnson, KC--It hurts to rank him this low.
17. Laurence Maroney, NE--Doesn't see the endzone much with Randy Moss around.
18. Edgerrin James, AZ--Winding down on a productive career.
19. Brandon Jacobs, NYG--Proving to be an injury-risk.
20. Michael Turner, ATL--A good running back on a bad offense. Let's see what happens.
**********
21. Maurice Jones-Drew, JAX--Will earn more playing time as Fred Taylor gets phased out.
22. Reggie Bush, NO--After two years he appears to be a third down back. One more year to prove he isn't.
23. Julius Jones, SEA--I'm hesitant to rank him to high due to Seattle's offensive line and Alexander's presence.
24. DeAngelo Williams, CAR--Should see the majority of snaps with Foster gone.
25. Thomas Jones, NYJ--His age and his lone rushing touchdown is cause for concern.
26. Ahman Green, HOU--Here's assuming he get's his starting job back.
27. Fred Taylor, JAX--Said he wants to pass Jim Brown on the rushing list. Won't happen says I.
28. Justin Fargas, OAK--Ranked this low due to the Raider's opportunity to grab a top running back in the draft.
29. Rudi Johnson, CIN--Will he or won't he be what he used to be?
30. Travis Henry, DEN--Will likely lose job to a rookie.
**********
31. Tatum Bell, DET--Starting position is as good as gone after the draft.
32. Cedric Benson, CHI--Another player who's job is only temporary.
33. Ronnie Brown, MIA--If he recovers from injury he'll be in the top 20.
34. Shaun Alexander, SEA--If he starts anywhere he'll move up to 23.
35. Kenny Irons, CIN--Excellent opportunity to become the starter in Cincy.
36. Ahmad Bradshaw, NYG--Could gain the starting job in New York.
