Is Jacobs at 1.01 crazy?

Postby -THE DUDE- » Tue Apr 02, 2019 3:44 pm

I think i am leaning that way right now pre-draft and landing spot will play a role. We draft the saturday after the real draft so my time to evaluate post draft is not long. For my team in sig is he the right pick? PPR league with 1 point per 5 yards rushing :confused:

It's not crazy - he is in the conversation, for sure.

In this format, I'd say he is the clear 1.01 if he's a first round pick in the NFL.

Landing spots will play a big role but I could see him going 1.01 depending on team need. I'm not a big fan of drafting WR's with the 1.01 personally.

I'm usually not either and there isn't any 1 WR really standing out to me at the moment...and CLEARLY i need RB help in a bad bad way. I've tried the trade route but my league is currently going through a phase that if the other owner isn't completely raping you on the deal nothing will get done.

I think he's my clear cut 1.01 pre-draft. Looking back at the last 4-5 years in rookie drafts it makes it extremely difficult to trust drafting a WR with the 1.01 or even a top 3 pick IMO.

Looking at your roster I would go RB with your 1st pick. As for Jacobs I would say yes, but it is very much dependent on his landing spot.
Though he didn't catch many passes he is said to have decent receiving skill. IMO the following teams need an RB so do your research carefully so you don't waste the Pick 1:

Oakland
Tampa Bay
Houston
Chiefs

Less so:
Chicago
Atlanta
Buffalo
Carolina
Jacksonville
New York Giants

I feel for you too buddy, I too am in a league where you need to give up Gurley and Hopkins to get a WR2. Makes life hard. Good luck

I think these 4 would actually be his best landing spots. If his catching ability is as good as they're saying, he would be an upgrade and a great pair with Cohen in Chicago, or a potential 3 down back with Houston, KC, Atlanta. But I doubt he falls to the Bears.

If he landed in KC I wouldn’t even question it I’d lock it in in a second

My take on Jacobs:

He is indeed an intriguing prospect due to his obvious dynamic abilities that show up on the film, and the much talked about usage “issue”.

Some say he couldn’t even carve out a larger role, while others are excited due to low wear and tear on the old tires.

He was only a 3 star recruit, but I believe it to be so because he was late to the show in terms of his training and development as an overall athlete. It has been said that he did not lift a weight until he got to Alabama, and I believe it.

He came in as a gifted, but raw prospect that in three years, has emerged as perhaps the most complete and skilled back on Alabama’s roster, and in many’s opinion, the entire draft... I agree with this sentiment.

His off the field demeanor is said to be top notch, his work ethic is off the charts, and he has tremendous growth potential to even further refine his game play and his physical attributes.

Some blue chip prospects are limited in their growth because they have peaked at an earlier age, and they never tend to continue to develop once they reach the pros... you see this more often than you think.

He is not a sure thing like Saquon or Zeke.... but he has only slightly less upside in my opinion. I see outstanding growth potential, potential clearly worth the 1.1. I think he is going to be special.
