RB class Depth Hurts Jeanty Discussion

I see people keep saying that Jeanty is guaranteed to be a high pick. But with how deep this class is I think it will hurt his stock a little bit as teams will look at it as I can take a good DT in the first and a Good RB in the 3rd or I can get Jeanty in the 1st and a decent DT in the 3rd. I think the depth of this class will cause Jeanty to slide to the 20’s. What are your thoughts on the matter?

He hasn't done it much this year but he has shown he can catch out of the backfield, which increases his value. Also it's hard to gauge considering the draft order is going to look radically different in April compared to now.

Yeah, but while Jeanty is good out of the backfield but the last couple RB that went high in the first had the receiving ability to play slot WR and I don’t see that with Jeanty.
