Paul starts the show by discussing the depth of this running back class and how the backs can be characterized into three different types. The types are three down or potential three down running backs, two down between the tackles power runners and also change of pace, receiving backs or specialists. He discusses how in each of the categories teams can be targeting backs in the early rounds, mid rounds, or late rounds that fit into each of the different types. He first discusses the three down or potential three down backs. The players discussed include Saquon Barkley, Sony Michel, Derrius Guice, Ronald Jones, Kerryon Johnson, Rashaad Penny and John Kelly. He discusses how some of those prospects did not play often in the passing game but he could see them developing into more of a three down role at the next level. Next, he discusses the physical, tough, power runners, that may be best suited in a committee, where they are complemented by a receiving back. Some of the prospects discussed here include Nick Chubb, Royce Freeman, Bo Scarbrough, Josh Adams, Darrel Williams, and Jordan Wilkins. He discusses how Chubb and Freeman in particular may be able to play on all three downs in some capacity based on what else is on the depth chart. Last, Paul discusses the change of pace, receiving running backs, which is the deepest of the three types. Some of the names discussed include Kallen Ballage, Nyheim Hines, Mark Walton, Akrum Wadley, Chase Edmonds, Justin Jackson, Phillip Lindsay, Ito Smith and Roc Thomas To Purchase the Premium Content which includes the 2018 Scouting Notebook (Draft Guide), Rankings/Tiers Notebook, Freshman Notebook, and Draft Projections notebook, click here.

Next Paul and Matt finish their TierBuster Series, with the 2018 Tight End Class. They discuss how the tight end position is the hardest to evaluate due to what many of these prospects are or are not asked to do in college. They also discuss how of all the skill positions, at times there is a disconnect between NFL value (round projection) compared to fantasy value (dynasty round projection) because of blocking ability. They also discuss how their tight end tiers could shuffle more than other positions after the NFL Combine due to their athletic testing and how much it could impact their ability to impact the game as receivers at the next level. In the next segment, they go through what makes up their tiers and what prospects fall into each of the tiers.   To Purchase the Premium Content which includes the 2018 Scouting Notebook (Draft Guide), Rankings/Tiers Notebook, Freshman Notebook, and Draft Projections notebook, click here.
