Is Jeanty a generational RB ?

[cowboybish]

Is he is good as Zeke or Saquon coming into the league? Who was considered the last generational RB?

 

[Bagman]

His skills are unique. His contact balance, power and ability to make himself "small" are generational. Unfortunately, if his potential NFL team doesn't provide him with a great line, he may never show that greatness. Even Saquon wasn't the absolute monster in New York that he now is in Philly. Same player, different blocking.

Frankly I do not think so. I really do not see his skills as unique. He is CLEARLY the best rb in this draft. I believe he will be at the least a fine back in the NFL.

Generational? I don't think so. Is he a great back? Yes. Would I draft him at 12? No. I don't think he's worth a top 15 pick. He has a ton of wear al ready, and I just don't see too much of a talent drop off behind him.

Same. Generational is Barry Sanders. I don't see it with Jeanty.

Maybe he's a Derrick Henry though. Just a rare specimen. Who knows.

Mark my words.. Jeanty is special. My comp for him is LaDanian Tomlinson.

The best thing Dallas can do is throw as much smoke out there about drafting him… and silently look to other prospects at 12 either along the OL or DL or a top WR if he falls

Jeanty simply won’t be there at 12 and someone will leap frog Dallas to take him if he even makes it to 10

We should not put all our eggs in that basket, nor do we have the spare draft capital to trade up for him.

Use the smoke to conceal your real targets and focus on scouting backs you can draft in other rounds.

If by some miracle he actually makes it to 12, then you can run up and turn the card in

Agree, but they’re not that smart. They actually do a pretty good job of broadcasting who they like ahead of time.

That word is becoming almost as overused as "literally."
