Draft Jadarian Price over David Montgomery. Price is ahead on the board (22nd overall, 56 spots better) and his modeled median (285.6) and high-end ceiling (375.7) both outpace Montgomery’s (168.6 median, 207.0 ceiling). The football edge is usage: Price’s modeled role command is 73.3% versus 53.9%. Price also grades safer (30 vs 31) and better for playoff runway (48 vs 41). The best acquisition timing is after you secure the top RB profile early.

Montgomery’s strongest path is a steadier, lower-volatility output profile if Price’s elevated role command fails to hold and Montgomery’s workload keeps producing.
Zach Charbonnet returning to unrestricted work would remove the temporary teammate opportunity adjustment.
