Never said they should get you drafted #4. You asked if he was recognized as a top talent.
I asked if he was considered a top talent at this time last year, meaning before this past football season, not if he received awards for his success in this past season.

I appreciate the consideration though. I'm not taking away from his game, just questioning why he's coming in as a greater offensive talent than other weapons.

I could understand trading up for Hunter because of how unique he is and Carter because of the talent and the premium position. Not for a RB no matter how good he is, compounded by how deep the class is.


If a pass rusher or CB are that special why is the team in that spot letting them go?
That would become a premium price on the pick because you're not only bidding against other teams you're bidding against the team that already has the pick.

The lions traded out of pick 5 back to pick 12 and selected Gibbs.

This is nothing like trading up from 10 to 5 to then grab a RB

Also, it ain’t gonna happen
It is like the Lions in overrating RBs and selecting them high in the 1st.

Browns trade down to 5. Now they will trade down to 10 when they come up again.
