Ashton Jeanty

NegativeBust0:00

Despite market enthusiasm around Jeanty returning value in a Clint Kubiak scheme, the source expresses caution at his ADP. Tape analysis reveals concerns: indecisiveness, foot speed noticeably slower than comparable draft peers like Saquon Barkley, and persistent offensive line infrastructure issues that remain problematic despite marginal year-over-year improvement. Jeanty finished RB16 last year in a bad Raiders offense that is projected to remain fairly bad, not substantially improved.

0:00Ashton Jeanty, there's a ton of
0:01enthusiasm on Ashton Jeanty returning
0:04value now in a Clint Kubiak scheme, but
0:06Hayden, you seem to be off of him at
0:08ADP.
0:09>> Obviously, he has the ceiling that
0:10everyone knows about. I just didn't see
0:12it uh on tape. Watching him, I thought
0:14that he was a little bit indecisive, and
0:16I thought that his feet were just slower
0:18than all the guys that he's being
0:20drafted. I mean, like Saquon Barkley
0:22versus Ashton Jeanty, I think it was
0:23pretty noticeable on tape. He still has
0:26infrastructure concerns across the
0:27offensive line. It'll be better than it
0:28was last year, but at the same time,
0:30Jeanty last year finished as the running
0:32back [music] 16. Everyone knows the
0:34Raiders offense was bad last year. It's
0:35going to still be fairly bad, not as
0:37bad.
