I think there's a decent chance DM has the possibility to outperform the two RBs taken ahead of him, which would be in the "value" or "steal" conversation.
Thought it was interesting this morning reading Peter King's "Football Morning in America." Obviously Alabama took the RB by committee approach, but I thought these talking points were very interesting for a 1st round draft pick.
• Jacobs played 40 games at Alabama. He ran for 100 yards against Kentucky in his fourth college outing, and then, in his final 36 games, never ran for 100 yards in a game.
• His highest 10 rushing games as a collegian, in yards gained: 100, 98, 97, 97, 89, 83, 68, 57, 52, 51.
• His biggest workloads as a collegian, in numbers of rushes in a game: 20, 16, 15, 12, 11, 11, 10, 9, 9, 8.
• In one of 40 college games, including receptions, Jacobs touched the ball 20 times.
Could also take the side of the argument that he has a lot of tread left on his tires by not being overworked in college. Just found it surprising that the production level was so pedestrian.
