From the episode
I'm actually started drafting him more because when you look at some of the builds, you get to this range in the draft where he's still around in the sixth or so. You can take him as your RB2, but often your RB3. I'm taking that value all day long... Kenneth Walker... is no longer there. Zach Charbonnet... tore his ACL... We are not going to see him meaningfully on an NFL field until the second half of the season.
STACKED’s take
Boone buying Price at discount; strong capital, clear path, soft schedule.
Justin Boone is bullish on Jadarian Price despite tempering sentiment heading into training camp. Boone notes Price has first-round draft capital (32nd pick), is going to a defending Super Bowl champion offense that wants to run the ball, and faces minimal competition with Kenneth Walker gone and Zach Charbonnet (torn ACL in January) unlikely to return meaningfully until the second half of the season. Boone is drafting Price more aggressively, viewing him as RB2/RB3 value in the sixth round or later, and dismisses concerns about George Helani and Emmanuel Wilson preventing Price from taking over the backfield. Boone acknowledges some warning signs (never a workhorse in college, potential offensive regression without Kubiak, late first-round RB history) but argues that if Price doesn't emerge, he was overdrafted to begin with, and someone in that backfield will put up stats.
