Ashton Jeanty or Tyler Warren?

It's not a consistent comparison, I compared him once. And it's not about Jeanty as a player. It's about positional value that I don't think RB has enough of to get one at 9. That's a luxury pick for when you team is good and you trade up because you need a RB more than you need draft picks. We're not that team.

EDIT: Here is an article talking about positional value. NFL teams take less RBs and TEs less than any other positions in the first round. It's not just me that feels that way, NFL GMs feel that way too.

RBs seen as game changing though are still going extremely high. That has not changed. McCaffrey, Barkley, and Robinson for example. When the RB grades as one of the best 8 players in the draft, they're going extremely high. That hasn't changed.

But for the sake of using known values, let's use Bush and several 1st round draft pick Saints in a thought experiment. The key is using players for which we have a good feel for their careers.

Reggie Bush
Marcus Davenport
Andrus Peat
Sheldon Rankins
Chris Olave

Of this group of players picked around the top to middle of the draft, who are you using your first round pick on in 2025? Now using this same group does your answer change if Reggie Bush is replaced by Ladainain Tomlinson or Adrian Peterson? I know my answers, and you're verifiablely insane if your answer doesn't change to the second question.
