The 2020 NFL Draft class is absolutely loaded with talent, and running back is no exception. With so many highly-touted prospects likely to cloud the second round, this abundance of talent can make it hard to nail down which players will be going off the board, and in what order.

However, thanks to the NFL Draft odds, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook, we can get a much clearer picture on exactly how these prospects stack up against one another when comparing their odds to be the first RB selected, and the over/under on their draft position. With that in mind, here's a look at the top running backs in this year's draft class as ranked by those collective odds.
