DLF: Mack is an under-the-radar prospect who has the ability to contribute to an NFL team and become fantasy relevant. Shane Vereen has been productive as a receiving back for both the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. Mack’s athletic prowess and on field abilities probably compares most to Vereen than to any of the other players on this list. Tashard Choice is a forgotten running back who was very resilient running between the tackles and wasn’t afraid to lay the hammer at the point of contact.

Yahoo Sports: 8. Marlon Mack, South Florida — 5-11, 213 — Does everything well or very well, but fumbling a bit of a concern

NFL Overview: Mack runs as hard as any back in this draft. It doesn't take him long to get up to his top speed, though his 40 time (4.50) suggests that his top speed is pretty average. He has good burst and fluid hips which make him hard to bring down. But his fumble rate will be a red flag for just about everyone. Mack is likely to be drafted in Day 3 and probably won't draw a lot of fantasy interest.

DRAFT ANALYSIS: Mack is a slashing, big play running back--everything Frank Gore isn't. While they hope to get more from their offensive line this season, Mack is no stranger to running and creating behind suspect O-line units at USF. He'll split carries, but he has the ability to impact this offense from Day 1. --Mark Dulgerian
