Trade down. He's going near 10 everywhere from what I've seen

I think I will say this about a few rookie RBs this year...I am not surprised...this is not one of those lay-up drafts where the picks are easy...outside of Jeanty and Hampton you can make case for Judkins, Henderson, Harvey and Johnson for RBs, the two TEs and some of the WRs (as well as Ward and maybe Dart in SF)...it is very easy to see a path towards quality production for Johnson...too many Owners are still playing fantasy of 15 years ago looking for the elusive bell cow and will look down on a RB that seems destined to be part of some type of RBBC...might not be a flashy pick in August but come November when injuries and bye weeks are piling up he could end up being a really nice addition...just gotta keep the expectations realistic.

Welcome to my SuperFlex squad @ 1.12 good sir.

I took Kaleb at 1.07, then traded next years 1 to take Loveland, and just took kyle williams at 2.07, and have 2.10 next. Will take BPA, but i’m feeling good so far. Bech, Noel and Sampson next 3 on FBG’s board.
Fwiw, my team has finished 4,1,3 the last 3 years, solid team i expect to be picking from 10-12 slot next year. And if the wheels fall off can trade saquon and get a first and maybe more back.

Not crazy. I wouldn’t do it, but I understand wanting to “get your guy”.
I do believe Kaleb is being slept on a bit more than he should. He comes into an excellent situation - stable organization with a plan, and a scheme perfectly suited towards him.

Why is Kaleb Johnson not a potential Top 20-25 RB in Redraft leagues?

I'm trying to convince myself that he is. Ha ha

He is. I’d take him way earlier than that -
Are “we”
Worried about Warren? I’m not. Kaleb is a younger, faster version of Najee - also is perfect for the scheme.

Have you all not watched the Steelers offense. They're supposedly a running team and can't run it. Or throw it but not that it matters.

We’re talking about Kaleb Johnson here. He excels in a wide zone scheme - which is what the Steelers run.
Steelers are a legit organization. They know what they want to do - they drafted a RB that fits what they do to a tee.
He’s better than Najee.

They were also 4th in attempts and 11th in rushing yards. 533 rushing attempts and they lost the guy who led them with 263. This kid is gonna get some opportunities. He has to. It's math.

I thought that was about right when I set my board a week ago.
Took him 1.9 in a SF TEP IDP. Had him teed up at 1.8 in a single QB but to my surprise the 1.7 bypassed Judkins for him. Sitting at 1.12 in the last I never thought I had a shot.

Exactly. Almost literally just math.

Took him 4th round as my RB3 in a 16 team Survivor format behind Bucky and RJ Harvey Bars, it's been a while since I raided the rookie RB class in Redraft like this, feels like 2008 again

You guys realize Pittsburgh will be seeing 8-9 guys in the box all year long right? Won't be many running lanes since I don't think Mason Rudolph will scare any secondaries. Maybe in year 2 he'll be productive, but not sure a rookie QB in 2026 will scare secondaries either. May be a 3 year plan when it comes to Kaleb. Maybe I'm wrong. My wife says I am all the time.

I think the same could be said for the last several years. At least now they have a guy who can take the top off the defense.

You mention Rudolph, but he isn't gonna see snap this year is he? Rodgers will sign. Rodgers is decent enough to make teams pay for putting 9 in the box. Rodgers is gonna love Metcalf. Once Lazard signs, then Rodgers is a foregone conclusion. Ha ha
Pickens had that ability.
