DENNY CARTER: One guy I don't-- whose ADP I don't really understand is Aaron Jones. Now, I'm not sure how you feel about him, but, you know, he scored a touchdown on nearly 7% of his touches last year. There's the addition of Dillon. You know, I mean, he's not going in the first, obviously, and you can usually get him in the middle of the second. But I don't-- I feel like it's a little lofty. How about you?
ANDY BEHRENS: Yeah. No, I agree with that, and I haven't-- I haven't landed-- I sort of lucked into Jones a couple of times last year where he-- not really even me targeting. It was just sort of an accident of how he fell. So that was obviously a gift.
I have found myself sort of veering to another position when his is the next name in queue. Just a weird team coming off a really strange draft. I know he's not the-- I know he's not the full-workload guy, and just as they did at the quarterback position, they drafted the heir apparent to a running back who performed really well last year. That's weird. Dillon obviously going to have some sort of role. They can't seem to shake Jamaal Williams no matter what. So, like, he's a pretty obvious regression candidate for me.
So, yeah, I have avoided him largely. And the flip side, I am totally in on Miles Sanders. Really excited about him. He really-- like, he dodged the Carlos Hyde bullet. He dodged the, at least to this point, the Devonta Freeman bullet. I guess that one hasn't really landed on any team yet, and he could still screw some plans up. But Sanders obviously somebody with a pretty full workload on a team that is going to rack up points and yardage, so we like that.
And then Josh Jacobs is the other guy who falls into the second round in an awful lot of leagues who I could-- I can reasonably imagine us drafting him as, like, a top-six-overall pick last year. He was one of those guys who, whether you're a, you know, grind-the-tape film watcher or you're an analytics guy, like, he just checked every box, right?
