Uhh what?
Bijan Robinson was like a top 10 if not a top 5 all around RB in his rookie year last year. And that’s on an average at best team.

Cmon man, you’re drinking the salty juice tonight.

Yeah, my point is that the difference between the top RB in the league and a middle of the pack RB is negligible. Remember when the Titans lost Derrick Henry for 9 games in 2021? They went 6-3 during that stretch and averaged 140 rushing yards per game. Why? Because their OL was awesome and they kept the same blocking scheme.

I'd rather have the 15th best interior pass rusher than the 5th best RB and that isn't even remotely debatable. Stud pass rushers are MUCH harder to find than tough RBs.

Jalen Carter would have been an infinitely better and more impactful pick than Bijan.
