Talking about spending FA money on Allegeir when you have a chance to draft Bijan Robinson lmaoooooookk. Who do you think keeps coordinators UP at night?
Good receivers have become a dime a dozen. Run game and good defense are a QBs best friend. Better shore that UP before you think about overdrafting your fav receiver, especially at 8 in this draft

In the last 10 drafts, these are the RBs who were taken in the top 15 picks:
Jeanty (6)
Gibbs (12)
Bijan (8)
Saquon (2)
Fournette (4)
McCaffrey (8)
Elliott (4)
That is an extremely high hit rate with only Fournette and Jeanty not being All Pro level players and Jeanty will likely significantly improve if in a better situation. This generation of running backs are also weapons in the passing game, which increases their value to an offense above the conventional role of the RB. The big knock on RB is durability, but this should not be a concern on the rookie deal

8. New Orleans Saints - Jeremiyah Love RB
I actually like this pick, Shough showed he can be competitive without a star RB, imagine Love giving him options.

3 of those guys had team success away from their drafting team, though.
Jeanty will probably be #4 in time.
Sounds like we have almost as good of a shot trying to follow that path while keeping the draft capital for a more valuable position
And the fact that you go back 10 years and two of them are already done isn't a good sign.

And yet Bijan hasn’t sniffed the playoffs…

I don't think I'm the only one waiting for physical testing to compare Love to a Bijan/Gibbs athlete.
I'm not saying he's going to be a Jeanty, but Bijan and Gibbs are special and Love's tape doesn't scream that level of athleticism.

I’m not even a take a RB Stan but it’s such dumb reasoning. Barkely, CMC, Bijan all lead the league in scrimmage yards within their rookie deals. Zeke had two rushing titles. LF was a beast when healthy. Bad organizations are usually just bad. If you think your team is on the up, you have a good offensive minded coach, a QB on a rookie deal, some cap space etc it allows you to take the swing if you so chose
If we only draft positions that had a high hit rate of “team success” we wouldn’t drafting anyone?
Do we like WRs/TEs drafted in the top 10? You can go through all the positions who didn’t have “team success”. The “most valuable” position is the one that doesn’t flop
Darrius Heyward Bey
Michael Crabtree
AJ Green
Julio Jones
Justin Blackmon
Tavon Austin
Eric Ebron
Sammy Watkins
Amari cooper
Kevin white
Corey Davis
Mike Williams
John Ross
TJ Hockenson
Jamar Chase
Jaylen Waddle
Kyle Pitts
Drake London
Garrett Wilson
Marvin Harrison
Malik Nabors
Rome Odunze

All organizations think they're on the up, though, including bad ones, which is why they over-draft RBs.

I'd rather take a swing on someone who projects elite value and use the cap space to get a proven RB on a cheaper, short-term deal.
This year has SEVERAL solid options at RB in FA. What would a Rachaad White cost us? JK Dobbins?
Those names are sexy, but they're solid, dependable options who would be cheap

Love was Missouri 5A 100m state champion, 40” vert at camps. At 6’ 215. He will be a freak, Buckle up.
Gibbs and Jeanty are shrimp compared to Love, not really great comps regardless

Bain, Downs, and Tate to pick Love. He doesn't have Carnell Tate going until 16, which is the lowest I've seen him projected.
Just take Love's teammate Jadarian Price later

That’s where the rub is. Is Love a stud RB that brings elite RB value (Bijan, Gibbs, etc.)? Or do you believe no RB has elite value? And who else is available that is a better value at the time and how do you judge them (I think Downs is better. I don’t think Bain or Tyson are all that good.)?
It depends on a lot of factors.

Jeanty was only referenced b/c he skipped testing b/c he wouldn't test well, and I said Love wasn't in that concern boat.

Just did a mock and i got Bain at 8, Chris Bell WR at 42 and Jadarian Price at 73 gimme dat all day.

Bijan and Gibbs are somewhat interesting for the value discussion (and I love Bijan). The Falcons haven't done shite with Bijan over 3 years of his rookie deal, and this was Gibbs' year as the focal point of the DET offense and they didn't make the playoffs.
The problem with the value of RBs is that hitting max team value/impact is very dependent on the team around them (Gibbs this year is a great example of this, along with Saquon)

It would be kind of insane, given where defenses are going, to pick Love over Downs.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat but the difference of having a JK Dobbins vs a Love in the backfield is immense. And we have to look past next season,
You can pay a premium for one of the FA but they already have the miles

Doubt Downs is there but I have no doubt we would grab him.
Also certain Chiefs grab Love at 10. Great fit there. Patrick opens up the field for Love.

To team success? With a bad OL? Is it?

And we have to look past next season,
a. White or Dobbins is going to be around in 2027. If we want to get splugy, so will Hall or Etienne.
b. We can draft other RBs. There are some studs, like Jonah Coleman or guys with elite potential like Demond Claiborne that we can draft later.

I said short-term deal. The top guys won't likely get more than 3-year deals. Lesser guys liike White/JK/Gainwell 1-2 years.

Yeah THAT makes sense, given where the Chiefs are as a team/roster.
I think the fanbase is projecting the Saints at a better place than where we actually are b/c we finished well with a rookie QB against a weak schedule. We can easily be on the incline, but we're not anywhere close to a really good roster right now.

It’s not different. Positional value doesn’t change just because a roster is in a different state. They have needs on the dline and secondary too for a top 10 pick
