can anyone give an assessment on Jeanty's pass blocking?
When I watched his film I saw a number of college DBs blast him hard in pass pro. I think he could get exposed hard in the NFL.
I was enamored by Jeanty pick to infuse this team with juice. When I watched his tape vs Oregon & Penn State, I came away feeling we’d be better off going trenches.
Yes, he had fantastic numbers against Oregon, but most of the game he was bottled up. He broke a couple insane runs, but there were many runs he was contained and didn’t look special. This makes me worried about his overall level of competition. He feels like a super luxury pick at 12 - we’re not in position to take luxury. It’s like buying an AMG when you don’t have a garage to park it.
Yes he is a special talent and can be very explosive, but I don’t think he is as dominant a runner as AP or Henry & he doesn’t seem as versatile like an LT or Faulk. Give me OL, DL, Tet, or trade back.
If we pick Jeanty, I’ll feel very excited to see what he can do and anticipate him being a HOFer, but I do have concerns about him - def more than Ezekiel Elliott (and I wanted us to take Ramsey/Henry but felt optimistic about Zeke also when we selected him)
