666 rushes, 2,631 yards (4.0 YPC)
134 catches, 1,009 yards (7.3 AVG)
That's from the 5th overall pick. Averaging under 900 rushing yards per year. You brought up his 4.3 YPC last year, but the year before that he had 3.3 YPC and the year before that 3.9 YPC. Also that 4.3 YPC is 2nd the lowest among all 16 1k rushers last year (only beats Joe Mixon).
He's ~7th best RB from his own draft.
I don't see what he brings to the table that journeymen like Carlos Hyde can't, and Hyde is on his 5th team in 4 years.
What relevance does draft position have for a team that did not draft a guy?
The draft is a crap shoot, regardless of when any player is drafted. The odds are better 1st round picks are better, but not close to 100% success rate like some expect it to be because these guys get paid more than later picks,
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
