I believe Jeanty is a special back and should be drafted in the 1st rd, if not top 10.
Absolutely not, because if you are drafting in the top 10 you need talent at premium positions - there's a reason why your team is drafting that high. Teams with less than 6 wins generally have serious talent deficiencies on the OL, DL, and Secondary. Taking even a special back like Jeanty that high is malpractice.

Malpractice? We took Zeke at 4 and became the #1 seed the following year with a rookie 4th QB and a terrible defense. Special backs are worth high picks and make an immediate impact. Yes, some but not all tend to be 1 contract players, but the great ones have long careers.

No way they should draft a running back in 1st round. We are not a rb away from contending. An rb is not going to move the needle, look at Atlanta. Robinson was supposed to be a generational running back, how has that worked out for them.

If you're a bpa no matter what person but don't want jeanty you should stop talking draft if you can't even stick with the philosophy you parrot.

It’s always conditional. If Kansas City had the 1st pick and Sanders was BPA they of course would not draft a qb

You see the last three are significantly lower, unless a special prospect falls, you avoid taking these positions in rd 1.
The average salary for off-ball LBs is about 17M.
