NFL Scouting Combine: Feb 27–Mar 2

I'm going to assume you didn't watch CFB this year. Skattlebro is a fan favorite for a reason. Arizona state was expected to win maybe 3 games last year and ended up getting into the CFB playoffs because Skattlebro, a slow tough as nails RB gives 100% on every single possession. Not to mention he absolutely dominated his last game despite being sick and puking on the sideline. He's a gamer and a fan favorite. Will he be as elite as Jeanty? Most likely not, but again if he gives you 70% of Jeany while allowing you to use you 9th overall pick somewhere else... there's a discussion to be had.


Sure nobody is saying stats tell the whole story. But from a value perspective if player A can give you 70% of what player B gets you whole being selected 150 picks later.... the value is absolutely lopsided.

Calm down there boss man. It's just a conversation. Nobody is attacking you personally and there's no reason to act silly like that.
OR you can draft Jeanty and then use the later picks on players who grade out better than the remaining RBs. For example, there's more WRs with a grade over 6.3 than there are RBs, thus giving you a better likelihood of landing an excellent RB and a good WR. You have to allow value to dictate your board. If you consistently drafting higher rated players you're more likely than hit on better players more often. You undermine this ability by saying, "we know he's the best but let's draft something else and hope we can get 70% of the player we passed on later on." That's a recipe for disaster. Untethered BPA is the wisest approach
