I hate to say it, but I would actually be all in on Dallas selecting him in the 1st if he is there when they are picking (probably somewhere in the 10-20 range I am assuming).

Running backs still matter, and this one could be game breaking and instantly make our weakest position group one of the best in the league. Our run blocking is still pretty dang bad though. That will have to be addressed somehow.

Exactly, and there are a lot of good NT options this draft.

He’s probably the best running back prospect I’ve seen come out of college in the last 10+ years.

His statistical output is on track to be completely record breaking. He’s got all of the tools you want in an NFL running back, and game breaking athleticism.

I guarantee someone is going to take a chance on him in the top 10 in spite of the position he plays.

You think he is a better prospect than Zeke and Saquon? I don’t see the long speed but will see at the combine I guess.

Maybe 1 or 2 of them will have a good career. Some in here wouldn't take some of the best because they come from Michigan.

I mean, besides Walker, I also like Williams from Ohio State, Stackhouse from Georgia, and Toia from UCLA

lots of RBs were OUTSTANDING in college and MEH in the NFL
comparing him to arguably the GOAT RB in NFL history is a complete joke

I'm not saying they're the exact same back. But, when I look at the comparisons in the running styles and the measurables, there are a lot of similarities. I looked up to Emmitt when I was little. I like Emmitt Smith. He's one of the greatest if not the GOAT at RB. That said, I don't think it's a crazy comparison in terms of what I see from his college abilities to what I remember about Emmitt and what I see on YouTube.

I didn't compare him, but he is stronger and faster.

Just watched Jeanty last game; not saying that he looks like the top college back this year but that is all

thats what I said. So what if a back looks great in college. means nothing in the NFL

Jeanty is one of the best. If healthy, he will be the only back taken in the 1st round.

We got too many needs to take but some team is getting a baller. This highlight is vs Oregon BTW who they nearly beat on tje road.

certainly the best back in college football this year but he is going probably top five and I simply cannot justify taking a RB there
