He was talking about a rebuilding team in fantasy, not an actual NFL team.From Hot Sauce Guy (because I cannot figure out the quoting):
Well guys, it's happening. Just saw a hot take YouTube video telling people why they *shouldn't* take Bijan with 1.01 in any format.
It was bound to happen.
It's not as bad as it sounds - they made good points about rebuilding teams maybe needing more than a generational talent RB, and that it's a big gamble that the asset would appreciate due to the volatility of the position.
I agree with this in part. But I also recognize that it's a blanket statement, 1-size fits all. Not every rebuild is in the same position. Personally I am going to rebuild around Bijan. Having an elite RB isn't a bad thing to build around if you have many picks, and a few good players already.
I do not agree with the bolded section in this case because I figure Bijan drops to late in the first round to a team that is NOT rebuilding. If he goes to the Bills or Eagles or even the Lions (with their excellent O-line) or something like that, he would be amazing.
As in, a team that legitimately earned the 1.01 is likely bad and maybe adding a single running back wouldn’t be as beneficial as trading the pick for multiple assets given the shelf life of the position.
