I saw a good write up on why the value of RBs in the top ten of the draft is immediately out of whack

He's immediately in the top 5 highest paid backs in the league just off his rookie contract.

The most a RB got in free agency was Miles Sanders coming off a great year and a Superbowl run. Bijan immediately gets more than him.

If a guy that good, isn't worth being retained by a team trying to win the Superbowl, what are the chances that a RB is gonna be worth more to a fairly bad team with a lot of holes?

If Bijan comes in and is one of the best and changes everything for the Falcons, then sure, I guess he's worth it, but it's a pretty huge risk
It's definitely a risk, I think there's RBs worthy of being drafted at that spot but I never saw bijan as being cut from that cloth

But I value wins and losses. If the Falcons have him as their main offensive piece and make a playoff run then that just means it was all worth it
