Personally, I'd take Jonahton Brooks over everyone on this list besides Achane. Although, with Brooks, you should consider your RB depth. For example, if you are going Zero RB and Brooks is your RB1, the first few weeks of the season may be a bumpy ride while he recovers and gets acclimated to the NFL.
Other rookies, like Trey Benson, Blake Corum, Jaylen Wright, MarShawn Lloyd have more talent ahead of them on their respective depth charts, but that doesn't mean they can't produce or won't be given opportunities. I think all of these guys are being priced appropriately currently, so I don't mind them as late-round dart throws.
Pollard's role absolutely puts him in an ambiguous backfield. The Tennessee coaching staff has said they view Pollard and Spears as 1A/1B, and listed them as co-starters on the depth chart. They also said they may ride the "hot hand" which definitely makes this backfield one worth investing in.
Any rookies you’d prefer over these guys?

I fully agree about Chase Brown! Expecting big things from him this year!
