I'm not typically a big fan of 1st round RBs either, but I'll take a guy with Jeanty's skills over the risk inherent in making a big investment at TE. Seriously, what are there, like three or four true difference-makers at that position in the whole league? A good RB might touch the ball 20-25 times per game, it's probably closer to 5 for the vast majority of TEs. I know they're not great long term investments due to the typical shelf life, but the good ones do generate a ton of production for cheap on that first contract. I'd rather draft a hoss OL or DL than either, but gimme Jeanty over a TE all day.
