Episode notes
Jeanty Shows High Floor Not Elite Ceiling
- Ashton Jeanty looks like a good NFL runner but hasn’t shown top‑tier, transcendental traits yet.
- His tape shows efficiency, contact balance, and short‑area explosiveness but not elite power or breakaway speed.
Don’t Draft Jeanty As First‑Round Lock
- Avoid valuing Jeanty as a guaranteed first‑round fantasy back based on rookie ADP.
- Reassess him after another season and a better offensive environment before drafting him high.
Efficient Runner With Patience Problem
- Jeanty uses efficient footwork: lower body moves for cuts while upper body stays calm.
- That yields quick acceleration and contact balance but sometimes costs yards when he hesitates.
