When presenting numbers to make a case - most people will leverage omission, framing, cherry picking and survivorship bias as if they are in pursuit of winning a debate competition instead of in pursuit of truth or knowledge.

I think the short term production curves might change in the wrong direction if the class is good enough.

Theres tons of guys to push for touches, and one maybe two guys who take over the whole backfield?

I don't think this RB class is quite as good as the consensus does tho.

CMC was way more expensive than he should have been in trade, but still WAY cheaper than high first draft capital.

Saquon just needed a normal contract.

Josh Jacobs cheap FA

Derrick Henry was cheaply available.

JT was available and may be again

Lenny was totally free

Mixon, Connor, others...

This is a tale as old as time situation.

The team drafting in the high first round RBs can almost never extend them, and if they do it usually looks idiotic in hindsight.

So any team with aspirations in being good soon can probably start sniffing around Bijan/Breece for relative pennies.

Just trying to peak thru the keyholes at what the NFL thinks with these well connected media members.

After all, a very wise man once said that "the NFL's evaluation is more important than my own evaluation." Especially true in this case, I'm no RB savant.

Thanks, forgot about that.

I think it's a good and solid RB class too, but I think it's biggest strength might be extreme depth a level below real multi year fantasy starters.

A few top end guys, and a ton of role players (of which some will emerge as studs from the sheer volume).

It is good, but I think one of the big questions of this class is:

"How good is that giant tier of RBs after the top 5 or 6 RBs?"

There's 20 names right now, but also how many of these guys are solid backups vs multi year fantasy contributors?

These well-connected lists are just coming out.

👀

This is awesome, I'll be back to peruse more.

Thanks a ton, been procrastinating trying to find everyone and this really helps.
