RBs seen as game 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 he 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 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.
