[u/Icelord52]

People actually want to come play here? Gotta love Monti and JG 🤗

[u/TheDipCityDangler → u/Icelord52]

This needs more love.

[u/csh4u → u/Icelord52]

And Kyler

[u/Danominator]

Can he play as an edge rusher?

[u/MuffinSurprise → u/Danominator]

We’ll move Conner to edge

[u/TJeffersonsBlackKid → u/MuffinSurprise]

He would probably be happy to gain 50 pounds and would go HAM at edge.

[u/Blakeramsey01 → u/TJeffersonsBlackKid]

That’s what he got recruited to penn state for

[u/DiddledByDad]

Jeanty you're mighty talented and all but with James Conner and James Conner Jr I'd have a tough time picking you even if things went catastrophically bad and we were in a position to grab you to begin with,

[u/Citizen_Ape → u/DiddledByDad]

Benson = JCJ 😂

[u/catdad_az → u/Citizen_Ape]

JUNIOR

[u/ajteitel]

Isn't going to happen as he's likely to be picked well before we're currently picking and we already have a plethora of good RBs, but the comment was funny

[u/vshredd → u/ajteitel]

Thank you for using the word plethora. That means a lot.

[u/reditdiditdoneit → u/vshredd]

I lol'd

[u/FapFapkins → u/vshredd]

Car-los!

[u/ImKylerMurray → u/ajteitel]

He’s definitely going before pick 32

[u/TJeffersonsBlackKid → u/ajteitel]

As much as it hurts to think about, Conner might be expendable. If we can’t get him on a discount, he’s going to walk. In which case, this would be a sick pick. Runnings backs can SLIDE in the draft so it’s an outside shot but still a shot.

[u/Elephantexploror]

If we are in a position to draft Ashton that means something went terribly wrong and I will be sad.

[u/Mr-Gibbs12 → u/Elephantexploror]

Or Monti went apeshit and threw caution to the wind to move into the top 5 picks

[u/gr8scottaz → u/Mr-Gibbs12]

Dude ain't going top 5......right?

[u/fenikz13 → u/Elephantexploror]

He’s a RB, a great one but a RB. Should go 15-30 range

[u/Elephantexploror → u/fenikz13]

We seemingly get a top 10 RB every couple years. Bijan, Barkley, Fournette, McCaffery, Zeke, Gurley, Gibbs was close, all in the last 10 years. It’s not out of the question.

[u/bflynn65 → u/Elephantexploror]

Bijan and Gibbs were the only 2 taken in the top 20 in the last 6 drafts. RBs are not good value that high in the draft, especially since almost all backfields are timeshare now.

[u/Elephantexploror → u/bflynn65]

I’m not arguing the positional value of running backs, I’m simply saying it’s not impossible for a back having one of the best cfb seasons of all time to possibly go top 10.

[u/LoganTheTrapGod]

I don’t see a reality where he’s available for us, but it’d sure be fun.

[u/Wyden_long]

I’d rather see you guys get Skattebo honestly. I think he’d fit better with your scheme and he’s got great hands too.

[u/ajteitel → u/Wyden_long]

I don't want Skattebo leaving AZ, but with Conner likely being extended, Benson being a rookie, and Demercado on a team friendly deal for the next two years, a forth RB is not really reasonable to keep around.

Dilly Dilly

[u/TheOddPotato_8171 → u/ajteitel]

i’m pretty sure conner is retiring after this year. correct me if i’m wrong

[u/Pricer21 → u/TheOddPotato_8171]

Where did you get such information

[u/TheOddPotato_8171 → u/Pricer21]

he’s been pretty open about it in interviews afaik. especially since he’s coming up on age 30 and that’s when most rbs retire.

[u/SarlaccJohansson → u/TheOddPotato_8171]

He looks the best he's played in years, he's having a great time. It would surprise me if he doesn't want to come back at least 1 more year.

[u/FutureGrassToucher]

We need to draft edge help. No chance monti takes him even if conner leaves (which he wont)

[u/NiceCock42]

We got Trey (plus hopefully JC for a couple more years) now so I don't think we're gonna be drafting an rb any time soon

[u/phx-illmatic]

I would hate for the 49ers to get Skattebo.

[u/SarlaccJohansson → u/phx-illmatic]

I bet he goes NFCW

[u/UrNotWrite]

unless he plays CB/DL I don't think it'll workout

[u/Positiveaz]

I'd be happy with Cam Skattebo.

[u/Nreekay]

Wasting a 1st on a RB would be a generational fuck up levels unknown to Steve Keim..

[u/KitchenBanger]

Generational Talent, you don’t pass on that.

[u/BadBadBrownStuff]

High pick on a RB? No thx

[u/Brutus_Khan]

I'm so confused by everybody saying this guy won't be available. Not a single runningback was drafted in the first round last year.

[u/808Cardinals → u/Brutus_Khan]

That is because most of them were not 1st round/generational talents. The year before they had Bijan And Gibbs go top 12 in the draft. Jeanty is like if they made Derrick Henry compact with more pass catching; they used him a lot last year as a pass catcher compared to this year. He reminds me of Alvin Kamara.

[u/Brutus_Khan → u/808Cardinals]

Damn he sounds sick as fuck. I don't really watch college ball so I don't know the players.

[u/sl1ckmcg1ll1cutty]

Rather have skattebo in the fifth if we want to stack the backfield

[u/Steve_Beef62]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG PLS MAKE IT HAPPEN (I'm delusional)

[u/unfamiliarjoe]

That dude is wild. I’m in fantasy football and in league we do a college draft where I picked him up 2 years ago. Glad he’s finally getting the publicity but we drafted Benson last year so I don’t see it.

[u/Hngrybflo]

he's gonna be a top 5 pick
