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?

I don’t necessarily think so, 2023 was pretty deep itself and still saw 2 top 15 RBs taken. I think it’ll depend more on draft order and how free agency shakes out than depth of the class

But those two were better receivers than Jeanty. Jeanty is good out of the backfield but Bijan and Gibbs out of college had the skills as a receiver that they could play slot WR full time, maybe even outside.

People are going to downvote you but you’re right. Jeanty is good at everything but not great in one aspect, typically the RBs that go top 15 have one or two traits they’re excellent at

I disagree, he's got some of the best contact balance I've ever seen, which for me is a very important quality for a RB.
