It took him 30 carries to get over 100 yards. At his size, he wont last long in the NFL getting 30 carries a game. He also wont last long fumbling twice every game either.

The fact is Penn State did stop him. And they won the game. You can stand on his 100 yards if you think that's sum, but 2 fumbles and a big fat LOSS ain't at all that.

Nah, they stopped that trash oline lol. Go watch the highlights, Jeanty still looked great

How many times a player hits top speed is often a function of the opportunity to reach full speed more than evidence that they are faster than others.

And Washington isn't close to one of the best teams in the nation. They were 6-7 this year.

If you’re hitting 21+ mph at all, you have breakaway speed. Doing it more than twice as much as the next player in the entire nation is insane.

Read my prior post to him. They went to the National Championship last year. Jeanty had a 50 yard touchdown against them during that season. It was a continued response since it seemed to get ignored when he said he never showed breakaway speed against legit competition. Hence highlighting and providing the clips of him doing so against Washington in 2023 and Oregon this year.

Cleveland is in a great position to draft a QB.

Giants literally just took Nabers last year. Nabers is the focal point of their offense. Would be shocked if they even considered Tetairoa

Jacksonville just took Brian Thomas. Would be shocked to see them take another WR so early.

Carolina is possible, but they also just took a 1st round WR last year. They “could”, but I have doubts they do. Guessing they would look towards someone like Abdul Carter or Mason Graham.

Jets still have Garrett Wilson and Devante Adams for now. Doubt they look at Tetairoa.

Raiders as mentioned seem doubtful as well. Other more pressing needs and a guy like Jeanty would make more sense if they wanted to go “BPA”.

Nabers with Tet would be like Chase with Higgins. That's appealing enough to run it back with Lock or try to find a FA. Hell, they could even make a move to get McCarthy.

Jets might have nobody. Wilson doesn't want to play with Rodgers so everything depends on what Rodgers does. If he doesn't come back, then they have Wilson, if he does, he might force is way out.

True but I think giants are going Ward or sanders.
 
Jeanty ,Mcmillan ,Carter or Graham

I'm guessing Carter or McMillan could still be there for us but you never know

I think they go Sanders. I'd be 0% surprised if there isn't already conversations taking place with Prime about this and I'd be 0% surprised if Prime comes to work in the organization in some manner. and 0% surprised is Daboll is fired and Prime has influence on who the new coach is going to be.

That's fair. I don't doubt that he has breakaway speed but that's really of limited value as an NFL RB since it's difficult to get an opportunity to use breakaway speed as a RB in the NFL. I think for NFL RBs quickness, contact balance, and power are more important. Jeanty clearly has power, but I'm not sure his quickness and contact balance is at an elite level. It think he's going to be a very good player, but I'm not sure he's going to be an elite player and I would rather trade down for more picks and take a RB later that might not be as good as Jeanty but would have better value than Jeanty at #10.

Of course, if you think Jeanty is going to be an elite NFL RB in the mold of Faulk, Sanders, LT, etc. you would want to take him at #10 and would be right to do so. I just don't think he's at that level and would, therefore, prefer to trade down than take him if he is BPA.

If you have a complete team the way the Lions were two years ago, maybe Jeanty is the final piece, but he's not the final piece for this team and there should be more value elsewhere.
 
Im excited to see who picks Sanders. Colorado was the biggest anomaly to me in college football. They were not only "not good", they were mostly bad. Travis Hunter was extremely good and I can't help but wonder if the rankings threw them a bone because of the click bait involving PrimeTime and his son at QB, plus Heisman candidate. But lets be real, Colorado sucked in general. Especially Sanders. They lost to KU for petes sake. The KState loss alone should have them unranked or ranked at the very bottom. The loss To Nebraska wasn't any better. A loss to KU by itself should never have them even thought about being ranked. Combined? They should've completely faded into obscurity and never been talked about or even thought of being ranked. Utterly crazy they somehow finished ranked to play BYU, which unsurprisingly, got spanked.

There's been comments about him not being fast enough for the NFL, that he can't do what he did in college and also that he won't be breaking tackles like he does in college. I just summed it up.

Saying he won't be breaking tackles like he did in college is not the same thing as saying he isn't strong. I mean, it's the NFL. Nobody breaks tackles like they did in college and the vast majority of Jeanty's games were against Mountain West opponents that don't have close to the level of talent that even bad NFL defenses have.
