841. . . . Scottie Phillips. 9. player

Scottie Phillips is the best of this trio. He’s five-foot-eleven and weighs 211 pounds. Some see him as a second-round guy, but he may be a Day 2 draftee. In 2019 he ran for 543 yards on 125 carries and caught eight balls for 77 yards. He scored five touchdowns on the ground.

That gives him a total of 1,470 yards on 278 carries, 17 rushing touchdowns, 182 receiving yards on 18 catches and three receiving touchdowns during his 20-game collegiate career with the Ole Miss Rebels. He’s a potential bell-cow who’s a true three-down starter in the NFL. He also has very little wear and very little tear on his body.

10. player. 836. . . . Joshua Kelley

Joshua Kelley shined despite being under the tutelage of Chip Kelly. After being benched in the UCLA Bruins‘ first game, he picked up 1,060 rushing yards, caught 11 passes for 71 yards and scored 12 total touchdowns, giving him 2,303 rushing yards, 264 receiving yards, 24 rushing touchdowns, and that receiving touchdown over the course of two seasons and 22 career games.

He’s five-foot-eleven. He weighs 204 pounds and he figures to be taken later on Day 2 or early on Day 3 in the upcoming selection meeting.
