Man the more time goes on the more I'm liking Richardson for the Colts especially if he's gonna play and it looks like he will
Perfect offense for him to be a Super Jalen, quality LG & T, Taylor, Downs is small but you can stretch the field for his arm, weak division
This might be something to watch

T Law run shyt now.
Idk y'all got it this year but that run might be short as leprechauns lil daddeh
At the very least Law/Stroud/AR5 makes the division super interesting maybe Levis turns out to be a baller too

You always see them standing around clapping and high fiving after a pick like that's who they wanted all along you never them after the guy they want gets taken
Ballard thought they got jumped for AR in that split second, cool footage
Patrick Mahomes has become an even better QB since that SB. He’s learned a lotA great QB like Mahomes should be able to overcome it.

He’s very likely a fine player.
And if you play fantasy football he may even be a top 5-8 fantasy scoring RB this season.
But it was still poor value for Atlanta to draft him inside the top 10.

It’s not poor value. If this was Deebo, Samuel’s, you would be saying he’s worth the money that he was signed for. Bijan Robinson is just as skilled as Deebo, Samuels but happens to play running back. This is what happens when you actually watch a football player instead of getting caught up in clichéd boxing in someone who has a label next to their position.
Position matters though.
We just saw Dameon Pierce have a fantastic rookie season for Houston, and he was a 4th round pick.
Bijan Robinson is probably better than Pierce. He's much more valuable in the passing game, potentially. But is he 3 rounds more valuable? That's the whole question here. I don't think he is.
Robinson probably has a fine season in 2023, and you'll be tagging me left and right whenever he has a good game.
But will the Falcons be any good? Probably not. Not until they use one of their top future draft picks on solidifying the offensive line and quarterback position. And by that point, who knows what will happen with Robinson?

Of course, position matters. The point is Robinson is positionless.
You don’t seem to wanna focus on his skill set. That doesn’t seem to be a part of your discussion and has been a part of mines from jump. He is not “simply “a running back.
who_better_than_me
Time to go!!
Dude almost Beasley retire again. Cole sat there on the field like what I’m doing out here
If bijan plays at a high level gets a 2nd contract in Atlanta and stays at a high level there will still be critics like yourself saying that he's a bust that never should have been picked in the 1st round which my only issue with the value argument.
It sounds good in theory, but in practice I don't think it's the end all be all.
