1. He will have such an impact in the passing game, that he’s worth it. He would absolutely destroy teams if they continue to focus on stoping Kelce and Hill.
2. Positional value aside, if he’s sitting there at 32, that’s a top 15 talent. When you’re drafting late, that’s how you hit home runs. If you take a corner, you might be getting a solid to really good player but likely not as much upside at their position. Swift could be a top 3 back.
3. If there’s ever a time to do it, it’s now. Guys like Barkley and McCaffrey are getting wasted on bad teams. You’d potentially have an elite back on an elite team on a rookie deal. Belichick did it like this, so it can’t be the worst idea (and Swift is 10x better than Michel).
Again, I agree with you here on not going RB in the 1st. Just playing devils advocate.
