1.13 Arizona Outlaws - RB Paul Perkins

In the real world: Perkins was drafted by the Giants, whose RB situation seems as muddled as any other, in Round 5. Their starter, Rashad Jennings, is 31 years old. Andre Williams has been used primarily as a short-yardage back. They do have Shane Vereen, who has averaged 4.2 ypc in his five seasons as a pro, but he has been labeled a "scatback" and pigeonholed into the "passing down/change-of-pace back" role. However, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News does not expect Perkins to make much of an impact initially.

In the TUFF world: This pick makes very good sense given Perkins' potential job situation, plus the fact that the Outlaws already have Jennings. Jordan Howard would have been a good pick for Arizona for similar reasons. They probably considered QBs Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, but were evidently willing to gamble that 36-year-old Carson Palmer and reclamation project Robert Griffin III could hold down the fort at quarterback for one more year.
