Late in a startup draft. Who would you swing on first? Eno Benjamin or Ahmed? I like Ahmed personally but not sure if he’s worth taking over Benjamin. I went WR heavy early after QB and now taking swings on RBs that could end up with some carries due to injury or whatever reasons. Got darrynton evans, mattison, Gus edwards, fournette. Now thinking between these two. Ballade and snell are there too.

I would lean Benjamin due to possible opportunity. I really like Ahmed's skill set but I'm guessing that depth chart could get more crowded. The same could be said for AZ though. Snell is intriguing with Conner moving on, but I'm not sure he showed much at all with his opportunity last year.

i'd take the guy who has shown he can do a job over the guy who had 0 snaps in his first season. but given it's barrell bottom scraping time, no problem going with benjamin and his (purely theoretical and depth-chart based only) upside.

Agree. I love the moves Ahmed has and his burst. But feel Miami probably takes RB even after signing malcom brown...and looks as of now that Benjamin is 2nd in line behind Edmonds. Benjamin also has more suited size for every down potential. But both teams could add via draft. Ahmed already has more competition. Gaskin/brown/Ahmed or Edmonds/Benjamin. I like Ahmed but leaning Benjamin.

I really liked Benjamin going into the 2019 college season as potentially a top 5 RB in the 2020 class. That didn't exactly prove to be the most accurate take, but I think his game is very well suited to the NFL. Until AZ adds another RB, I would much rather stash Benjamin than Ahmed...despite liking what I saw from Ahmed in his work last year.
