No. 19 overall and the top-rated TE is Hunter Henry, so no surprise there ... however, Jonathan Williams comes in at No. 70 overall, and the 6th-rated RB ... this guy's list of 100 only included 7 RBs, and no Alex Collins ... the Top 100 is linked.

Now, it's one guy's opinion, and just about every list of Top 10 RBs I've seen includes both AC and JWill, and typically AC has been in the top 5 of those.

However, this opinion that does not have AC in the top 100 overall / top 7 RBs does not surprise me because I see a lot of holes in AC's game, such as fumbling, has shown very little as a receiver out of the backfield, pass-pro is iffy, top-end speed is average. Strengths are vision, lateral cuts, balance, initial burst/acceleration out of cuts, durability, proven volume/workload RB who can shoulder 20 carries per game, improved leg-drive to move the pile.

JWill is a more complete RB, IMO, but that was prior to the injury, which creates huge question marks ... Senior Bowl less than 2 weeks away, and JWill has still not been cleared for full football participation. Unless he is healthy enough to perform full-go at events like Senior Bowl week, the combine, and pro day, I just don't see him getting drafted in the first 4 rounds. I believe AC, however, will go by the 4th round.
