Jeanty at 5?

lol no.
Trade our current RB, to draft another RB in the first, and not shore up our O line…
I like Jeanty, but this makes no sense.
The only teams that should take RBs in the first round are teams in the 26-32 spot who don’t have holes elsewhere and need a star to complete for a title now. A bad offense with a rookie stud RB is a bad offense. A good offense with a rookie stud RB can be a great offense. Look at Saquon this year.
If anything Jeanty at 5 atleast shows what kind of team we’re gonna be, and its one that ive *wanted* to be. A team that runs the ball down your throat and is heavy play action. Trevor said himself post 2024 season that we lacked toughness and could not run the ball.
Trevor is being nice. What he really wants to say is “This coaching staff is soft as charmin and its making the team soft too. Can we please get tougher so I dont have to carry the whole fucking offense on my shoulders?”
I would not be mad at it. That being said, if we do it I 100% want us to use pick 36 on a interion D-lineman, or potentially even trade back into late 1st for one
We need to move draft day earlier in the year to give these writers less time to come up with this kind of nonsense
We don’t need him but if we’re going best available I wouldn’t be mad
It would send a very mixed message, unless there is a trade afoot outside of talking heads fantasy. Foundation first.
Jeanty would make no sense at all. I’d rather hope Hampton falls to our pick in the second round than take Jeanty at 5.
The only offensive weapon that makes any sense is Tet. That’d give us 2 stud WRs to build around.
Damn. He should have just written another mock draft with Mason Graham at 5….
How about we figure out how to block for our current 1st round RB rather than drafting another 1st round RB?
I don’t care how good he is a rb in the top ten is not a good idea. Even if we made the offense all about him it doesn’t make much sense.
It’s certainly not ideal but if the draft plays out like the first 4 picks in this mock, I’d have no problem with Jeanty at 5.
Anyone arguing against the ‘positional value’ of taking a RB that high has no leg to stand on when the other option is to take equally low value positions of G or TE, or to reach for an inferior player.
I wish it were different; that there were some elite CB/OT/Edge/WR available. But it is what it is. In 3 years if he’s MJD 2.0 is anyone really going to be complaining that if only we had taken a guard we’d have won a superbowl?
I’m actually starting to warm up to the Jeanty idea at 5.
He’s arguably the best actual player in the draft. Plus he not only fits a zone blocking scheme perfectly (which is what Coen employs) and a RB like Jeanty makes up for an OL that may not be great yet.
Plus, if we look back at Tampa – a huge part of what helped take their running game from bottom 5 to top 5 in one year was the draft pick of Bucky Irving, who is somewhat similar to Jeanty.
Also from a historical perspective – let’s face it – the RB position has been the Jags identity – over the years we’ve been known for Natrone Means in that 96 playoff, then soon to be HOF Fred Taylor throughout the next 10 years. Then Jones- Drew after that. In 2017 they took Fournette in the top 5, and Etienne after that.
I dunno, I could see Jeanty as a good fit here to kick off the draft.
Jimmy gladz smarter than this
Personally I’m falling more in love with drafting the best oline prospect at 5. Fuck “positional value”, we fix the oline we can be a 9+ win team
Going RB in the top10 is a luxury pick when the team thinks its really close to the SB – we’re not anywhere close to that and this will be just another Saquon to NY or Bijan to ATL situation.
Smart GM’s in the middle of a rebuild always go with the same formula: QB first (we have it), elite talent regardless of position (Hunter or Carter) and finally: just get another trenches guy (Graham on the DL or Campbell/Membou on the OL).
Very curious to see the new GM’s philosophy.
Fournette 2.0
I understand not going OL round one because our biggest need is IOL, but if we don’t go 2/3 OL from rounds 2-4 I’m gonna lose my shit
Clickbait, Ragebait or both?
I’d be happy with AJ, dude’s a stud and would walk into the NFL a top 5 RB. I’d be pissed if we leave day two without a DT. It’s the weakest unit on the team imo. To go through FA and the first two days of the draft not upgrading your biggest weakness is roster malpractice.
Don’t like Jeanty that early, although I bet that once he hits the field I’d be truly enthused
