I can’t get past page 2 of this thread. Same people comparing this dude to the greatest running backs of all time and also think he will be there at 10 is just amusing to me. Don’t see both being true if it’s that obvious he is a hall of fame talent like Barry or AP.
Teams picking in front of the Saints all have young lead backs and need a QB or Left Tackle. Teams immediately picking behind the Saints also have their backs.
Bengals and Cowboys at #13-#14, 3-4 spots behind the Saints, is where Jeanty could be considered. But Cincy’s 2nd year back Chase Brown is approaching 1k after taking over as RB1 in Week 4. They aren’t lacking a run game. Cincy needs to fix their defense badly. Dallas let Elliott and Pollard walk for Rico Dowdle in recent years and lack starting D-Linemen more than the Saints.
Next 4 teams after Dallas (SF, Atl, Ari, Sea) also have their lead backs and a RB2. If Jeanty is on the board when Dallas, Cincy, or Chargers pick, I think theres a strong chance either will select him. But don’t see anyone trading up 3-10 spots and giving up early round picks for RB mainly because they lack pass catchers, DBs, and pass rushers more than RB.
