If Jeanty is available at 9, we take him. No brainer.
I like Jeanty, i mean, who doesnt? But i personally cant take him over a WR1 or an EDGE player who can finish. Especially this year where the RB position is uniquely loaded w/talent. Id rather have any combination of TMac or Mike Green in RD1 & Omarion Hampton or Kaleb Johnson RD2, than Jeanty RD1 & whatever in RD2.
WR & EDGE are premium positions, look at how much those dudes get paid. RB on the other hand isnt these days. If we had hope already on the roster at WR &/or EDGE, instead of a bunch of injury prone, undeveloped, aging talent, fine, luxury pick away & grab the RB top 10. But if youre us, whether it’s a WR, EDGE, or even a CB, DT or OT, take the premium pick at 9.
& though they may not have had the dream season, or seem as athletically gifted as Jeanty, the dudes in this draft class are BALLERS! From Skattebo, to Hampton, to Kaleb Johnson, & the two Ohio St kids, make no mistake, these dudes have the makings of legit high end RB1s. & there’s even more guys & they can all be had Day2 & 3.
