1. Bishop Sankey, Washington

I am going to continue sticking with Sankey as the No. 1 running back in a deep, but not front-loaded class at that position. He's likely a second-round prospect on by big board and that's not going to change leading up to May. In reality, there aren't any first-round running back prospects in the 2014 NFL draft. 

Sankey possesses a solid first step at the line and maintains a low running level, which gives him more power than his frame would suggest. He has solid field vision and is able to cut on a dime. At 5'10" and 203, he can be an every-down running back at the neve level. With that said, Sankey needs to work on dancing in the offensive backfield and being able to break tackles at the line. The imperfect prospect. 

2. Tre Mason, Auburn

The antithesis of Sankey in that he does a great job letting the play develop and following blockers, Mason is listed at 5'10" and 205, but that has to be soaking wet. The Auburn product will need to work on his strength at the next level in order to make it as a starting running back. He does, however, have a great initial burst at the line and can get to the second level of the defense in short form. A team like the Indianapolis Colts or New Orleans Saints could be a solid fit at the end of the second round. That's pretty much Mason's ceiling. 

3. Charles Sims, West Virginia

Sims likely owns the highest ceiling of any running back in this draft. After transferring from Houston to West Virginia, Sims was pretty much the offense for West Virginia this past season.

He can run the ball both between the tackles and take it to the outside.  That's something that most of the other running backs in this class struggle with.

In addition, Sims boasts the best set of hands in the draft. Likely a high third-round pick right now, Sims could jump into the second with a solid combine and pro day performance. 

4. Ka'Deem Carey, Arizona

Carey seems like a poor man's Giovani Bernard. This isn't to say that he can't be productive at the next level. He just does everything Bernard does at a lower level.

Once Carey finds a hole, he can burst through it about as good as any running back in the class. The issues here, however, is that Carey has a hard time finding holes between the hashes.

Best suited to play behind a zone-blocking offensive line, he might be a scheme-specific running back at the next level. Likely a third-round pick. 

5. Carlos Hyde, Ohio State

The most impressive running back in this class from a statistical perspective, Hyde put up nearly 1,700 yards and 18 touchdowns for the Buckeyes in 2013. At 242 pounds, Hyde will be a bruiser at the next level. Where Hyde's lack of speed will disable his ability to get to the outside in the NFL, he does find the hole and bursts into it between the hashes. Despite struggling with technique, Hyde also possesses the highest upside as a blocker in the draft. Look for a team like the Cleveland Browns to make a play for him in the third.
