# Ollie Connolly: In NFL Daily's 32-running-back draft, Ali Connelly's picks (his half of the joint 1-32 board) began with Bijon Robinson first overall and continued through Chris Rodriguez at No. 31, and he also predicted Jerien Price would be Seattle's lead ball carrier, Chris Rodriguez would be a feature back in Jacksonville, and R.J. Harvey could break out in Denver.

**Claimed:** May 29, 2026

4 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls, 1 sleeper call and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

> I just think Bijon is the best all around player in bold.
