Head coach Todd Bowles said "we're not easing [Irving] back from anything" back in July... Irving was the… RB18 in PPG (even including his bad Week 18 game for a larger sample). Zero goal-line TDs, an injured offensive line, injured QB, offense falling apart and he was a low-end RB2... Irving has a lot that could turn him from an okay pick that finishes near ADP to a steal that has top volume in a solid offense.

Irving's RB18 PPG despite chaos makes him a Round 5 steal with volume upside.

Bucky Irving has moved from average to above average after head coach Todd Bowles confirmed in July he's not easing back from anything, with over a month of full-go, full-pads work. Despite volume concerns from Kenny Gainwell and Sean Tucker, Irving was RB18 in PPG last season even with Tucker and White stealing touches, an injured offensive line, injured QB, and zero goal-line TDs. At RB23 (47th overall), the source views him as a value near Round 5 pick; Gainwell averaged only 31.6 rushing yards per game in his career-best season and is expected to be a 3rd-down back, while Tucker may not retain his goal-line role under new coaching.
