would you be opposed to moving back up for Bijan Robinson?

[Shocker]

As to the OP…when you get past the 15 pick in the first in this draft you are already seriously debating if there are better football players than Bijan available.  Lots of questions in that range IMO.  There does come a point where he makes a lot of sense for some teams

please god no, I know hes amazing, but Im tired of runningbacks getting drafted early with their NFL lifespan that can only be measured in nano seconds.  Just resign Foreman please and build a modern nfl roster.

[Shocker]

Bijan brings back memories of Edgerrin James IMO…damn if he is that dude watch out…

nope. I see no pop in his game. He doesn't have break away speed in the NFL and I don't think he's a power guy. Possibly elite balance and sight but.. not in the 1st. He's no CMC.

I mean if your fine with Chubba Hubbard being your starting RB. There are exceptions to the rule. Barkley was one of them. when you get one of those guys at their best look what he did for the Giants carried their offense single handedly. I think you look hard at special talents. only reason he would be available at 20 or less is hes at a position thats undervalued.

Are you fine with poor TE play or limited WR play? 

If we're going to invest in a QB and take it seriously, we're going to have to make pass catchers a priority. 

I'd like to do better than Chuba, but I'd like even more to give our new QB better targets

Naw, Bijan has crazy talent.  You can’t knock him there,  dude has special talent no doubt.  Can catch, block but his vision and cutting ability are off the charts.

 Tank Bigsby or Kenny McIntosh in the 3rd and y’all will be fine for years.

Yeah there are going to be some good options later.

Fine…exactly.  Don’t the Panthers have fine now at RB?  Bijan > Fine

This is a bad draft. Most say there are only about 14 true first round picks in this draft with Robinson being one of them and a top 10 pick.  yeah you can get fine and decent production from other guys. This isnt a question of that. It's do you gamble on elite production.

  So are both of them. Bigsby has everything Robinson does. I welcome anyone to pull up his reel and compare it to Robinson. And Bigsby wasn’t playing BIG 12 DEFs. And had a QB who couldn’t complete half his passes. A horrible OL his whole career. Against an SeC schedule.

Of the top 20 rushers, 4 were taken in the first round. Two of those at 24. So why are you “gambling” more assets than needed for similar “elite” production?

Naw…not hearing that.  These are different backs against very different competition.  ACC defenses were really bad.

I am seriously not calling Bijan some once I a lifetime player but he is better than Bigsby.  Come on man
