Oh I’m not one of those by any means. I really like Ford, but I do believe he has his limitations - and Sampson can do what he (Ford) can do, better. Sure, Ford has the experience; Sampson will gain that.People seem to think Ford is dogand he isn't.
Sampson is undersized for a feature back at 5'8" 190 pounds (some say 200), raising legitimate questions about durability under a full NFL workload. He's also no help in the receiving game and while I don't hold this too much against him, he has fumble issues. I think that is the most overblown statistic when evaluating players.
Hard to say. The Judkins truthers would jump all over that, but I wasn't totally in on Judkins. Mainly because I don't see him as helping in the receiiving game. He would be solid between the tackles, but I don't see many big plays in his future. He can break a tackle or two however.
I wouldn't have taken him over Golden to begin with. I'd probably rather keep Burden too, I can certainly see a path for Judkins>Burden, but can see the reverse as well, and that's before factoring this off field stuff in.

If you believe in Judkins talent and can handle a suspension if it comes then yeah. There are a lot of donkeys in the NFL. Joe Mixon has had a great career and there was video of him knocking some girl out.
Tough one.
Not many current RB's 200 or under who are no help in the passing game. Seems like a prerequisite to be a great receiving back if you are undersized.
I heard she said to Judkins that Dylan Sampson's wee wee is bigger.
Cle must not be thrilled with him as they took 2 RBs in the draftPeople seem to think Ford is dog
You should follow Drew Davenport on Twitter, he provided a comprehensive breakdown of where things are after yesterday.
My rookie draft starts saturday, i have 12th pick, and doubt he falls that far, but I was looking to trade up for him or Kaleb, I wonder if they kinda swap ADP now, Kaleb goes mid rd, and Judkins more 9-10 range.
You don't think Judkins will fall that far and you might be right, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I'd be tempted to take Golden over him, but probably not with the other two. I'm a little more hesitant in passing on Burden, because even though I don't think he will do much in 2025, I see a world in which DJ Moore is gone after this year, even with the dead cap it would cause. I don't think the Bears like the work ethic of DJ Moore. I know things can change on that front, but I can see Odunze and Burden being their top two WRs in the near future. Good luck in your draft.
I dont have X or Twitter
I could see Judkins falling that far, easily. In one 16 team league I traded up to 1.13 to draft Judkins (before this news broke). Now with this drama coming about, I could totally see Judkins falling further. In another 16 tm league I am in, Sampson went at 1.13 and Judkins went at 1.08. The Judkins pick at 1.08 was before the news broke, the Sampson pick at 1.13 was right after the news broke.
1.13 before this happened is outlier kind of stuff but I could see it now easily and unless something stems the tide it’s going to keep dropping.
So is this a bad thing? Assuming he gets this event done to conclusion (whatever suspension happens (if there is one) and is over) would going back in the draft be bad for his FF outlook? Maybe yes or maybe no. I don't think it would necessarily be bad.
I considered that and one of the reasons I chose him over Kaleb and overall enhanced his value was that's premium draft commitment capital for a RB. That would be out the window unless he got drafted in that range again which seems unlikely.
He would pick a good year to do so, because the 2026 draft for RBs isn't strong IMO. You have Jeremiah Love, Nick Singleton, a recovering Cedric Baxter and Darius Taylor being the strongest of the group. People are hyping Love, but I think he would be no better than 4th or 5th in this year's draft. Singleton had a nice bounce back year, but he didn't look good the year before. Baxter is coming off an ACL tear. Then Taylor, who I'm intrigued by, but uncertain how good he really is. He may get terrible draft capital next year. I don't think there is a first rounder in the group. There are others, like Ott and Haynes, so we will see how that turns out this year. Haynes had the high school hype, but hasn't broken out yet.
One of the sneakiest values in re-draft and best ball this year.People seem to think Ford is dog
Amazingly, while the league group chat was discussing Judkin situation, the team going rookie crazy in my super flex start up picked him at 7.02Judkins went after Nick Chubb in this Best Ball draft in the 9th round (17 teams) and he went after both Sampson and Ford.

Based on what? Ford was the 'lead' back most of last year, but that just led an average of 7 carries / game, topped out at 12 (week 1), only had double digit carries twice after week 4, and almost half of his receiving production came in those first 4 games. Chubb was only a serious threat to his volume for a few games midseason and some of those were ones Ford missed anyway.
I saw him light up my Colts at a game I was at. Then the refs gave it to the Browns on two end of the game blown calls in a row. The first one was an interception called back, then the last play where the receiver would have had to be 15 feet tall and an interference was called. Sorry, I got lost there for a bit. Back to Ford. He sure as hell looked good on that long TD.
Not to get off subject but I'd have had Love as no worse then RB3 in this draft.
He's good for the occasional splash play, which at the right value can play in best ball, but the key word is 'occasional' so since he's not getting volume every week no matter what's around him I need help understanding how that's EV+ in standard on what likely won't be a good offense.
I think he’s going to be their early down banger, and his ADP is basically “free” so..
I think this is a common mistake managers make - he's not 'free,' he costs a roster spot that could be used on something potentially more valuable.
I’m thinking for redraft, and I look at picks in his range as “gambles who I don’t mind dropping”.
Calculated risks come with plausible upside that Ford does not have.
I think that’s debatable. If he becomes the early down banger and gets short yardage carries, he’s going to be plenty valuable. And again, for where you get him, that’s definitely upside.
The rookies need to prove they are better than Ford. For now I expect Ford to be the starter. Coaches trust him and the QB trusts him. Judkins isn't signed and now his this major issue.
No one could have said it better.
Based on what? He ceded half his touches in 2023 to Kareem Hunt's 3.0 ypc and Pierre Strong's minimum salary. His 2024 workload was cut in half from what it was the year before despite the rest of the room entailing veteran minimum D'onta Foreman and Nick Chubb on one leg. He was then the 3rd piece in the room addressed this offseason. His $0 guaranteed contract became a potential cut after the team invested a #2 and a #4 into the room. The team didn't commit to him until he took a big pay cut. His new salary is the same as Travis Homer.
Only the Browns would limit a guys touches when he averaged 5.4 yards a carry (2024). He also had a solid 2023 with over 800 yards and a 4.0 YPC. A full yard higher than Hunt's 3.0.
Yes, that cannot be ignored
...and how exactly will that lead to more work in 2025? You're helping make my point.

And this matters how? You don't have to watch every game to determine FF value.
Judkins.
I think your right or it will be equal which is wild. Rice had 8 felonies on his head and could of killed multiple people while not even showing remorse as he walked away from that scebe like a coward... its a 1% chance that everything worked out for him the way it did.
