RB Devon Achane, Texas A&M
I think Achane is an absurdly exciting player to watch, an absolutely electric undersized RB who can hit a crease and go the distance. I think he's sleeping on some draft charts, because as soon as the Combine comes and goes, he's going to be a Day 2 selection.
He is currently on the Texas A&M track team, running the 200m and 100m, and he's great at both. That means he has (a.) elite acceleration, and (b.) elite top-end speed.
He's not a guy you want to give a heavy workload, but this offense, with its three tight ends, it's RBs with mediocre top end speed, and the impending departure of Mecole Hardman, needs more speed. Andy Reid eats and sleeps with these guys. Put him on the roster.
I'd take him in the 3rd round.
