Last year, L.A. ran for 2152 yards and 17 touchdowns. Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, the legs under those numbers, both return for 2026.

So does Jarquez Hunter, a Round 4 pick last year. Hard to believe the Rams will be looking too hard at running backs in this years proceedings. Or it it?In the past 10 drafts , an average of 22 running backs have been taken per year.

The Rams have selected a running back in nine straight years, only passing back in 2016. Just in case they continue, here’s a look at running backs with draftable grades off my Top 300 Big Board.Round 1Jeremiyah Love 6’ 212 lb.Prototype running back build, explosiveness, and speed. Not a true power guy, but has enough thump and contact balance to run through defenders.

Stellar acceleration and long speed. Patient and reads blocks. High-end agility, stop/start and change of direction. Very good receiver.

Blocking is just okay.Round 2Jadarian Price – Notre Dame 5’11 203 lb.Fluid and balanced, has natural running back instincts. Vision and feel for developing holes, burst to get through them. Good contact balance and leg drive to break tackles.

Has the skillset in any scheme, but has the look of a one-cut zone runner, getting a runway for his burst and long speed. Good blocker and inexperienced as a receiver. Had a Achilles rupture in 2022.Round 3Mike Washington – Arkansas 6’1” 223 lb.Only one year of starting production in three college stops.

Muscular frame with stellar athleticism. Decisive, one-cut runner with the burst, strong lower half and foot churn to plow through tackles, the second gear acceleration and long speed to break off big chunk gains. Solid stop/start and change of direction traits.

Needs to work on ball security, receiving and blocking.Jonah Coleman – Washington 5’8” 220 lb.Bowling ball build. Very similar running style to the Rams Kyren Williams showing vision, contact balance, and low center of gravity. While he can bulldoze, he also makes sharp cuts and tackles slide off just as often as he breaks them.

Good receiver on short routes and solid blocker. Not flashy, just an efficient producer. One recorded fumble over his entire college career.Emmett Johnson Nebraska. 5’10” 202 lb.Johnson cannot be tagged as a speed or power back.

He’s an effort-based prospect running in a hard-nosed style. Plays faster on film than he tested at the NFL Combine. Wins with good vision, contact balance, and oily hips.

Cuts and jumps laterally without losing a beat. Puts tacklers at an angle disadvantage and bounces off or powers through. Strong receiving skills as well.Round 4Kaytron Allen – Penn State 5’11” 216 lb.Power-based runner with the instincts to find room.

NFL size with thick legs and strong bottom half. Runs low behind his pads with balance. Good patience and vision. Burst and speed are adequate, he’s more of a slasher in open field.

His hands appear to be good, but he wasn’t a third down receiving back. Willing blocker, but needs polish. Solid ball security.Round 5Demond Claiborne – Wake Forest 5’11” 188 lb.Small frame, slashing, jitterbug run style and very elusive in the open field.

Subtle fakes and feints make it hard for defenders to get a good tackling bead on him. Strong stop/start and change of direction movement. Not much of a blocker, but physical for his size.

Did not run sophisticated pass routes. Every touch is a possible big play, he’s that fast and elusive.Nick Singleton – Penn State 6’ 219 lb.Nice package of size and speed. Not a true power runner, but has the lower strength to break tackles.

Good receiver and willing blocker. Has big play upside, when he gets some runway, he can be off to the races. Probably projects best into an outside zone run scheme.

Tight in the hips and ankles, not as explosive when forced to move laterally. A kickoff returner his first three seasons Seth McGowan – Kentucky 6’ 223 lb.Polarizing prospect. High ceiling/low floor player.

Top-end traits as a runner, vision, burst, physical play style, and long speed, but he couldn’t turn them into explosive plays at the SEC level. Lags as a receiving, blocker, and in ball security. The tools are there, can a team focus them.Remember BYU/Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier converting from LB & being a Day 3 steal?I got one.
