NFL Media analysts Daniel Jeremiah and Lance Zierlein are selecting the top 10 college football players at five different positions this week in a #CFBMockDraft on Twitter. They continue Tuesday with running backs. Here are the results:

Pick 1:
Dalvin Cook, Florida State

Time to start our #CFBMockDraft w/ RBs today. Let the haters hate... I'm taking Dalvin Cook first. Elusive, elite burst & complete player

Pick 2:
Leonard Fournette, LSU

I'll gladly take Leonard Fournette. He's a freak show.#CFBMockDraft

Pick 3:
Samaje Perine, Oklahoma

I'll go w/ size, power and surprising wiggle in OU's Samaje Perine. Go ahead and take McCaffrey now. #CFBMockDraft https://t.co/2ILBMdq5Wp

Pick 4:
Royce Freeman, Oregon

I love McCaffrey but I'm going with a different PAC12 RB. Oregon's Royce Freeman. Size, speed and vision. #CFBMockDraft

Pick 5:
Christian McCaffrey, Stanford

.@MoveTheSticks Well in that case..... I'll take McCaffrey. Foot quickness and vision remind me of Duke Johnson coming out. #CFBMockDraft

Pick 6:
Nick Chubb, Georgia

Nice pick @LanceZierlein...So many good RBs still available. I'll take Nick Chubb. Ultra instinctive runner. #CFBMockDraft

Pick 7:
Joe Mixon, Oklahoma

Nice pick. OU's Joe Mixon might be one of the most underrated RBs in the nation. He's mine now. #CFBMockDraft https://t.co/EOsrPGFipd

Pick 8:
Ronald Jones II, USC

I'm a big believer in USC's Ronald Jones. Explosive runner capable of scoring from anywhere on the field. Huge #s this season #CFBMockDraft

Pick 9:
Jalen Hurd, Tennessee

I think Tennessee's Jalen Hurd uses his size/speed to finally unleash his full potential on SEC opponents this year. Pick #7 #CFBMockDraft
— Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) August 16, 2016

Actually Hurd was my 9th pick. Oh no.... I just remembered one I like a lot who I forgot about ...... #CFBMockDraft

Pick 10:
Saquon Barkley, Penn State

One of the most impressive runners I watched last fall-- Penn State's Saquon Barkley. Ideal tools. Didn't look like a Frosh. #CFBMockDraft
— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) August 16, 2016

And.... DJ gets my guy. Totally forgot about him. I want to vomit now. Probably a top 6 back in college today. https://t.co/B0TmFtKqEQ
