Five running back must draft. Let's start with the first one. Pretty obvious. We're going top five running back. So we're going, we're doing a little bit of rankings here. But again, I don't do off consensus. I do on where they're going to end up, right? So I take a player like CMC and he's not in the top five because I know he's going to break his leg this year. Oh, Joe, you're so mean. |
| 1:46.5 | He's been hurt every other year. It's like a pattern. He's going |
| 1:50.3 | down. He 100% is getting hurt like 99.9% in my honest opinion. He's going to be getting hurt this |
| 1:56.3 | year based on his history. So he's not in here. We don't do consensus stuff. We project forward on |
| 2:01.5 | who's going to potentially finish in the top five, okay? So barring any injury, the first guy is Jamir Gibbs. Now, I've been doing a lot of drafts. I do early drafts. I get it out of my, out of the way early because that way I get a discount on guys before the ADP shoots up and skyrockets, okay? So the first guy is Jemir Gibbs. Obviously, his ADP and everything is solidified. He is a top one, top two pick. It's either Bajan or Gibbs, or Bajan. Well, Joe, you don't know how to pronounce Bajan's name. Buy as in biweekly, Jan as in Rana's and tan as and fan as in Man. I've heard enough for that. I'm the only one |
| 2:34.3 | pronouncing it right. So, quiet with that. Let's go back to Jamir Gibbs. I like him a little bit over by Jan simply because it's very simple to me, guys. I mean, he gets a major downgrade at the backup, with Montgomery being shipped off to Houston. Now Pacheco comes in and Pacheco sucks. He couldn't even beat Cream Hunt for the starting job. |
| 2:51.5 | Cream Hunt is like an ancient dinosaur. |
| 2:54.6 | So when I'm... Houston. Now Pacheco comes in and Pacheco sucks. He couldn't even beat Cream Hunt for the |
| 2:50.9 | starting job. Creme Hunt is like an ancient dinosaur. So when I'm looking at Javier Gibbs, |
| 2:56.3 | he's the top two running back. Listen, here's a crazy thing. You only had 243 attempts. And if you guys |
| 3:01.7 | don't know how bad that is, that puts him 11th amongst rushing attempts amongst running backs. |
| 3:05.9 | And the guy still finished third |
| 3:08.8 | in PPR amongst running backs with 366 points. That is phenomenal. This guy, 5.0 yards per carry, |
| 3:16.1 | 13 touchdowns, 5 receiving, 1223 yards. He's an absolute beast and he finally gets to be a three-down |
| 3:22.4 | workhorse running back. If the Lions want to win, if the Lions want to succeed, they will keep this guy on the field. |
| 3:27.6 | They'll only put Pacheco in if Jemir Gibbs needs to take a break after a major run. |
