Welcoming another to the fan club. You’re about 4 months behind me. Here’s the membership link. Dues payable on the first.
Funny it took him this long to put Harvey ahead of Skattebo. Hell, I have him ahead of Kaleb Johnson too. Jeanty is in a tier by himself. But if tier two is Henderson, Hampton and Judkins, Harvey is right there at the top of tier 3 in my book. There are a lot of backs in that tier, but Harvey's as good as any of them.

I love JCM but I wouldn't have him that high. Rest is mostly agreeable. I'd have Henderson ahead of Hampton and I disagree with the size of your gap between Jeanty and Hampton. Not that I don't like Hampton. I just think Jeanty is special in a way that none of the other backs are. No one's even close in my mind. He might be the best RB prospect I've ever watched.

Had to contain myself not to have JCM higher. I can’t find a comp for him, but he’s got all the goods. Maybe not elite speed, but he’s going to get chunks in spades.
Teleport this class back to the 70s and you’ll see 3 guys go in the top 10 and maybe 7 in the first. Another 5 Day 2. It’s just nuts.

I believe Harvey should be taken after Judkins and Henderson and before Johnson. I think we have talked about this however at one point.

...and the questions begs: does it ever make sense to take Kaleb Johnson per value somewhere?? Personally, I wouldn't.

End of Day 2 if you’re desperate. He’s Najee Harris. His upside is David Montgomery. Pfffft.

No. He would need a 90's Cowboys style offense for him to succeed I feel.

I think he'll go day two. I have big problems with his lack of lateral agility and COD, which will be a problem in the NFL when those 8-foot holes he's used to at Iowa become 2-foot creases. But I know there are plenty of people who don't seem to see the same thing. Only takes one team to believe.
He's a zone runner, so he could appeal to a team like the Vikings, but I think his inability to pass block will keep him out of purple.
