2025 RB thread

Nah not hard to find at all. Kinda like a good RB.

They just get paid more because line play is so critical.

But if they're easy to find, why are they paid like they're not? Easy to find means replaceable.

More power to them. I just don't understand it from a supply & demand standpoint.

Probably a collateral effect of OTs being so hard to find. Good ones rarely hit the market so teams started spending money on the next best thing. If something becomes too unattainable, people move on to something else.

But they're still not worth drafting high. League's fucking weird.

Maybe this calls for a famous @Sleet breakdown?

Because good ones aren’t easy to find. How many years now have we been bitching about our guard situation? Just about everyone here was ready to make it rain for that KC guard if he made it to FA. I don’t recall anyone wanting to sign Saquon Barkley though.

Fine. I asked ChatGPT instead.

So… who do I got?

If you’re building a team around pure positional value, give me Membou (Kolton Miller). Left tackle ceiling = gold. You don’t find that combo of size, feet, and anchor often.

But if you want the guy most likely to change a game, I’m actually leaning Jeanty (Josh Jacobs ceiling). He’s the most dynamic skill talent in that group. That kind of back can take over games when he’s rolling.

Safe pick? Shedeur. High-floor QB with a long career — Cousins has made a lot of money and kept teams competitive.

Sneaky pick? Campbell. Meinerz-type guards don’t get glory, but dominant interior OL play makes everything smoother. He’s also maybe the most likely to hit his comp fully.

Ranking based on

positional value + ceiling + potential impact:
  1. Membou (Kolton Miller) – High-value position + long-term upside
  2. Jeanty (Jacobs) – RBs don’t last as long, but if he hits, he hits
  3. Shedeur (Cousins) – Solid, steady, not a gamebreaker but your franchise is stable
  4. Campbell (Meinerz) – Love the player, but IOL has the lowest ceiling of the four
But if your team already has a QB or LT? Jeanty becomes very tempting.

Will Campbell 6th overall then?

Easier to just pay for another team’s developed OG than to draft one and develop one yourself is all I got.

I mean the pay ceiling raised considerably when we were heading into what was widely considered a great OL draft last year. Stands to reason teams could have saved a shit ton of cap and just drafted and developed their own quite easily. And probably should have based on some of the results of teams that did over pay.
 
I definitely agree that the entire league is wrong about it.
