The whole “you don’t draft running back high” narrative is getting tired. I’ve seen some big boards that have Jacobs as a top 12-15 talent. He punishes with his running style, he can run both inside and out, and his pass catching is fantastic. He’s a three down back with low mileage coming out of college that can be on the field in any situation. The fact that “attrition” devalues the position does not mean there aren’t some phenomenal athletes that can boost an offense in this class from day one, and Jacobs is the cream of the crop.
