I am in need of solid RB’s. Should I try to trade up in this years draft to snag Jeanty? Or should I stick with what I have and draft an RB at the 1.06 Half Ppr 1.5 TEP QB: Stroud, Murray, Penix RB: R. Dowdle, R. Davis, I. Guerendo, E. Wilson, S. Tucker, K. Mitchell WR: MHJ, BTJ, M. Nabers, Odunze, Ladd, A. Mitchell, J. Burton, D. Wicks, D. Douglas, D. Vele TE:J. Smith, K. Pitts, Freiermuth, N. Fant, C. Stover 2025 picks: 1.06, 1.11, 2.05, 3.06, 4.06

Yeah no duh you don't need heavy hitters at every position 🙄. But CJ Stroud was garbage Kyler Murray is middling at best, penix has the best upside of being legit. And those tight ends the best one of them is not on a roster and didn't break out until he was 32 years old. And like you said this team is young He doesn't need to force anything He has time to build a roster properly. This is not some tiny little window that he has with aging players

And you're right he's not that far off I never claimed he was

and agreed if you're able to there's nothing wrong with that trade I like that trade but again I don't see that happening

Idk what’s happening with your messages, but I’m getting a notification that you are posting but not seeing them show up in the thread. Either way, our disagreement comes down Jeanty’s Value or the value of his top 4 WRs. Rn I think Jeanty for MHJ is about even and Ladd would probably need an early/mid 2nd added on…which I would still be hesitant to do.

@EskimoTribe well that one stuck. 😂

we'll see how long it stays up

But, I don’t ever value RBs has high as WRs and I think all 5 of the OPs WRs are already Elite

Rome doesn’t have the stats yet, but he will

You value a running back like this. If he's a generational running back which everyone is claiming that he is as of right now that he is on par with Gibbs and Bijan. He is worth that much.

besides this time of year that's all it is is hype It's the same thing with JSN it's the same thing with Nico it's the same thing with all of these players It's all just hype

okay so you got name bias because of the conference That's cool forget that there are so many great running backs that came out of terrible tiny little schools

Not to mention his offensive line was one of the worst in the entire college ranks. If you watched any of his highlights you know that that number 66 on the old line lived on the ground and he got regularly got hit in the backfield and still turned it into a huge play

Yeah I played too That doesn't mean you constantly were getting hurt.

That matters. So I value WRs slightly more… 🤷🏼‍♂️

There is a reason that the average career span for RBs in the NFL is <3yrs. Most don’t make it out of their rookie contract before they are done

Jeanty is special. No doubt.. but he’s still a RB

And that's fine but it's not because they get hurt more it's because when a RB goes down someone is able to replace with someone else who puts up some points. When a WR goes down it's extremely hard to just replace them.

If the WR is harder to replace, then wouldn’t that make their value higher?

Besides that's the avg NFL career in the NFL not just RB

Let me ask you, if Jeanty had this season last year and was in the ‘24 class. Would you have drafted him over MHJ or Nabers?

Right but we are not talking specifically about avg WRs either. We are talking about Ladd who finished his rookie season as a WR1 and MHJ who was the consensus 1.01/1.02 in one of the best classes ever

My reverence to avg WRs and avg RBs is only to establish the overarching difference in value of the position…

TE is a crap shoot. Laporta was rated the 5th or 6th best in his class and people aren’t letting go of a player like Bowers. You don’t need a stud TE to make a run.
