Not saying I would necessarily do this but I expect Jeanty to have agood combine and if he is there I have a hard time seeing them pass on him.

Here are some guys I like that I think could be available.
Ashton Jeanty rb Boise State
Emeka Egbuka wr Ohio State
Kelvin Banks oline Texas
Jahdae Barron db Texas
Luther Burden wr Missouri
Give me Jeanty, but Egbuka is my next choice if he isn’t there.

Banks also is probably the best interior OL in this draft. I don’t think it’s a position of massive need, but he’s a premium prospect if the skill position guys are gone.

Dallas is likely going to have some great prospects in the 1st round.

I don't doubt that he can get yardage if it's cleanly blocked .... but a lot of guys can do that.

Maybe I'm wrong ..... but he didn't "show me" against a better level of competition.
Jeanty forced 17 missed tackles in the playoff game, which is a huge number.

He also managed 3.5 yards a carry while having nowhere to run. He was hit at or behind the line of scrimmage nearly every carry. Boise’s offensive line was totally overmatched.

He’s shown that if you give him a glimmer of daylight, he’ll house it. I think he’s Jahmyr Gibbs+.

If anything I thought his performance solidified everything we already knew about him. He will go top 10.

I agree he was under duress & I saw him make it difficult for defenders to finish him off. I didn't think he got as much out of some runs as there appeared to be available.

I wouldn't compare him to Gibbs though. Gibbs is electric speed with enough power not to be limited.

Jeanty seems to be a more compact, powerful runner with good speed but not enough to house long ones against NFL talent.

We'll see. It has given me something to monitor during the draft process and into his NFL career.
