Deep Pick choiceGo with Aaron Jones Sr. instead of Kyle Monangai. Jones is 81st overall, 29 spots ahead, with a higher modeled floor and peak (146.1 median, 191.8 ceiling) versus Monangai (125.8 median, 170.0 ceiling). The football edge is lower risk with better overall production banding—lower is safer (Jones 34 vs Monangai 37). Their playoff runway is nearly even (56 vs 54), so the safer median/ceiling combo makes Jones the clearer draft value regardless of when you acquire him.
