Brooks is a must-draft RB3 with bell-cow potential in Carolina

Derek Brown identifies Jonathan Brooks as a must-draft target in the 6th round (RB27/69th overall). Brooks is fully recovered from ACL reconstruction and has been operating as the bell cow in preseason. He is significantly more efficient than Chuba Hubbard, who ranked dead last in explosive run rate and miss tackle rate among qualifying backs last year. Brooks is a high-upside RB3 with league-winning potential.
