NFL draft 2014: Analyzing the top running back prospects available

The Ravens will likely draft a running back if offseason comments are indicative of anything.

SB Nation's Matt Ufford and Dan Rubenstein take a look at the running backs that will be available this draft season, ranking the top five.
