NFL Draft 2011: Power Ranking the Top 10 Running Backs in the Class

This year’s draft doesn’t have the obvious top running back of years past like C.J. Spiller, Knowshon Moreno or Darren McFadden.

It does have a class full of running backs that can come in and provide depth on a roster.

Whether you think Mark Ingram or Mikel Leshoure is the best prospect, here are the 10 best running back prospects for the 2011 draft.
