Ranking the Top 10 Rookie RBs for the 2026 NFL Draft! NFL Draft Podcast EP. 19

Description

The Dynasty Nerds College Show is back, and Garret Price, Jagger May, and Andrew Mott are breaking down their composite top ten running backs in this year's NFL Draft class. Spoiler alert: there's one unanimous number one, a clear top tier, and then a whole lot of questions.

Jeremiyah Love is the unanimous RB1 in this class and it isn't close. The crew compares him to Bijan Robinson as one of the best receiving backs any of them have scouted. Behind him, Mike Washington Jr., Jadarian Price, and Jonah Coleman form a clear second tier, though the hosts admit Washington carries the highest ceiling while Price offers the safest floor. Coleman's refusal to test at the combine left Garret scratching his head, dropping him from RB2 to RB4 on his personal board.

From RB5 on, this class is defined by uncertainty. Emmett Johnson boasts elite underlying metrics including a 39% Dominator Rating, the highest of any back discussed, but his combine testing raises red flags. Nick Singleton has the tools but not the technique. Kayron Allen, Le'Veon Moss, Demond Claiborne, and Jadyn Ott each carry their own unique set of questions, making this a draft class where landing spot and opportunity could matter more than prospect profile. Check the Dynasty Rankings before your rookie draft and stay sharp with the Rookie Big Boards as the class continues to take shape.
