1d ago9:03

9:03

-Yes, we know RBs are still very important in the sport—it’s more about the draft capital of them, though. This year was nice to see Ashton Jeanty to go in the top 10…since Saquon Barkley went 2nd overall to the Giants in 2018, only one other RB has gone in the top 10 prior to Jeanty (Bijan Robinson in 2023) -Will there ever be a time where we see …

The whole story of Shedeur Sanders’ fall from possible Top 5 pick to the 5th round is fascinating all the way around, but one thing is now for sure 21:20

3d ago21:20

21:20

-What’s for sure, you ask? The fact that he can’t be seen as a ‘bust’ now. You can characterize first round picks who don’t pan out as busts and 2nd round picks to a certain extent---but not a 5th round pick. A major chip on his shoulder and nothing to lose -But this is a player whose jersey number is retired at Colorado and who even got prank call…
