Schefter today said that it's hard to see Brooks getting past Dallas at 56.Mike11 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 8:26 am I don't think it's crazy to assume if Dallas goes Brooks or Benson in round 2 you will start to see them off the board after the big 3 receivers and in 2QB top 3/4 QBs + Bowers. In non-TEP we can argue about pure talent and opportunity but look at what Kyren did this year with that backfield all to himself. Would you rather own Kyren Williams or Tee Higgins right now (I'm thinking AD or BTJ are maybe comparable value plays to Higgins)? It's closer than people would've thought 6 months ago I think.
For longevity I'd lean WR but that's easy to say before we see draft capital or landing spots. I have a feeling either Brian Thomas Jr or AD Mitchell will get a good landing spot and we'll see the big 3 receivers, Bowers, 1 more WR and maybe the top 3 QBs go off before any RB but it could become a conversation for certain drafters.
Brooks seems to be the only RB in this class getting consistently mocked in the Top 64, and he's coming off an ACL tear.
