Looks like Zeke will be in the top ten of the NFL top 100 players this year which is voted by the PLAYERS. He will be the First rookie to crack the top ten since they started doing it... Even if they have not done it long.

Curious... Where did Jalen Ramsey rank in that top 100 list?

Oh... Did Ramsey make All Pro... Pretty sure Zeke did.
Zeke is awesome.

Based on scarcity and replace-ability of his production he was the wrong choice.

What about the idea that these can be mutually exclusive don't you understand?

Also to be clear the people who try to bring down Jalen are extremely weird....

You could make an argument that Ramsey has already broken out because if he plays the way he did in 2016 for the rest of his career, he’ll be a starter for 10-15 years. However, his ceiling is so unfathomably high that he has the potential to become the very best cornerback … this season.He’s the whole package at corner: size, speed, awareness, instincts. It took him a little while to bring down his first interception – 15 weeks, to be exact – but he returned the second of his two for a touchdown and had 10 passes defensed in the final 10 weeks.His confidence is never a question, either. He always wants to take on the best receivers, and more often than not, he shuts them down. Quarterbacks will learn not to test Ramsey in coverage, even if he doesn’t have the best hands, but seeing A.J. Bouye on the other side won’t make it easy to avoid the Florida State product.

Yeah Jalen really struggled it seems as a rookie chasing around opposite team number 1 WRs.

He's a harder talent to find and is cheap right now. Picking in the top 4 you should be hoping for a 3 contract player. Zeke could be awesome through his entire first contract and it'd probably prove problematic to sign him to a 2nd contract. Meanwhile while we contribute tremendous resources at RB (and offensive line and WR and TE and soon at QB) others get cheap elite production.

Zero. Sum. Game.

At least I consider it interesting and important.

It's the top skill I look for when evaluating RBs in the draft.

Many college RBs have great highlights running in space, but come to the NFL and can't run after contact.
