Georgia running back D’Andre Swift was supposed to be wearing an NFL team hat by the time the first round was over. Instead, he’s hoping he’ll hear his name called in the second round. Could he slip further?
Drafting running backs in the first round is something most NFL teams got away from for a long time due to fear of spending an important draft pick on a position that had seen a severe reduction in the overall playing lifespan league-wide, and D’Andre Swift may be a victim of some of that fear.
A number of teams could have possibly been in the market for a premier running back, but wisely opted to go in other directions.
