I wish that I could tell the fans from 30 years ago that Running Back would be rated slightly higher than punter.

Davante Adams (WR, Green Bay) - they save $10M tagging him versus signing him to a #1 contract. How ticked would he be?

JC Jackson (CB, New England) - The argument is they need to have him against Diggs:

I would have to believe these kind of ratings go in cycles. As more teams start running the ball, RBs will become more valuable, especially when teams don't have a Josh Allen or Pat Mahomes at QB.

IMO, CBs are a bit over valued. How many true shut down CBs are there? They all get beat by even WR2s.

New England Patriots not expected to place franchise tag on J.C. Jackson

by: Matt Johnson —Sportsnaut43m

Despite facing the possibility of losing All-Pro cornerback J.C. Jackson, the New England Patriots are not 'likely' to use the franchise tag.

The RB centric cycle may come back with the dinosasurs,

and just as likely

any running the ball is secondary to passing

teams will become more creative using multi-dimension players like Deebo Samuel

As I pointed out, teams with starting QBs named Jameis Winston (and equivalent) will absolutely need to run the ball and run it well. Those third-tier QBs aren't going to win anything for you, so those teams will need to run. KC, Buffalo, LAC, whoever gets Rodgers, all have the luxury of using the run as a compliment to the pass, even though they may be pass first.

How will the 49ers get more creative with Deebo Samuel? is he going to play QB, too? If so, the Ravens kind of got there first.
