Deep Pick choicePick Ashton Jeanty over Saquon Barkley. They’re close in overall rank (Jeanty 17th vs Barkley 22nd), but Jeanty projects slightly better outcomes (median 251.7 vs 247.5; ceiling 300.1 vs 292.7). Role command is nearly identical (70.6% vs 71.5%), so the small scoring edge is real. Jeanty also profiles as the safer bet (risk 29 vs 23 is still lower-safety label for Barkley) but the draft value stays Jeanty because playoff runway is strong (49 vs 42). Acquisition timing supports the top-RB selection now.
