Summary

Combine week is here, and Ceiling and Floor is back before the real testing starts. ⁠Jagger May⁠ and ⁠Andrew Mott⁠ run through a slate of running backs with ceiling and floor comps, while repeating an important reminder: these are stylistic outcomes, not destiny. The episode starts with Jeremiah Love as the clear top name in the class, with big, usage-driven upside and rare receiving potential. From there, they dig into the next tier of backs and what could swing outcomes at the next level: lateral agility for Jadarian Price, pass pro and role certainty for Emmett Johnson, and how speed testing could make or break the outlook for Jonah Coleman. Later, the discussion turns to the broader “don’t over-draft this class” warning, especially for dynasty players who might fall in love with RB2 in this group without comparing the talent to other NFL backs. That context shows up again when they get into Kaytron Allen, Mike Washington Jr., Nicholas Singleton, and Demond Claiborne, where landing spot, role, and Combine numbers could cause major movement. Behind Love, this class has more unanswered questions than usual. The crew argues that the Combine will be critical for sorting out who can erase athletic concerns, who needs specific coaching to unlock receiving or pass protection, and who might be pushed down boards when the testing confirms the doubts.

We have reached Combine Week and before we get to actual tangible information, we're going to give you one more comp show.

0:08.7

I've got Andrew Mott here and as always it is me, Jagger May, and we have some of the top running backs in this draft class.

0:16.6

And like we did with the wide receivers when we had the whole gang we're going to give our

0:20.9

ceiling and floor comp and now keep in mind these aren't always what they're going to be like

0:26.7

we're not saying they're going to be a hall of fame or a pro baller a lot of this stuff is stylistic

0:31.2

comps and then some of these like we just talked about pre-show about a guy that we're going to talk

0:35.8

about is that hitting the ceiling

0:37.9

comp is you'll hear me say this jesus got to come down and kiss him on the forehead for them to get

0:42.4

there like it's going to take a lot of work right off the bat we're going to start off with an easy

0:47.0

one though which is jeremiah love running back notar dame mine is ceiling comp is pretty easy. I just, I put Bijon Robinson.

0:58.5

I don't think he's a good of a runner, but the way that he is used, that is the ceiling.

1:03.4

The floor is Bijon Robinson as rookie year. That's the floor.

1:10.8

You know?

1:12.2

Like that is cheap, but I'm doing it again.

1:14.7

I'm giving you Bijon Robinson last year or Bijon Robinson rookie year is the floor. Where are you at? It's funny you said Bijon because I had Bijan as well as like one of my comps.

1:24.3

And then I was like, let me tone this down just a little bit because I don't want to start the show off immediately calling somebody the best running back in football. But I went with Breece Hall as my ceiling comp, but I think Breece Hall plus probably. But I see a lot of what he does in Breeze Hall's game of that long speed, the long stride, erasing some of those tackle angles that you have on defenders, the contact

1:45.5

balance, the receiving upside of what Breece Hall does too. But think of like Jeremiah,

1:50.5

I love if Bruce Hall never got drafted by the Jets. Like that's my ceiling comp basically

1:54.7

for Jeremiah. Now the floor, I don't think he will hit this floor because I think he's better than that. But

2:02.6

Darren McFadden was a name that I threw out there as a floor comp. Thank you. I love that.

2:10.4

Because you know what's crazy? That's still a high floor. Darren McFadden's problem was two things.

2:15.2

Tiny legs and the Raiders. It wasn't that he sucked, you know.
