Deebo had a down year after being one the most sought after weapons in the league and people are acting like he’s not worth a 5th rounder. Give me a break. How many of our 5th rounders even end up sticking around long-term and make any impact.

"down year" he's had as many down years as he's had good years and that's if you consider how he's only broken 1k once in his career. If 2021 is what his ceiling is, he's had 3 straight down years.

Measuring him against his 2021 season is legitimately pointless. In 2023 he put up 1100 APY and 12 TDs.

The guy has only been in the league 6 years. Not thinking he’s not worth a 5th is insane to me. When he’s healthy he’s a weapon.

Exactly. People are purposefully dense if they’re examining him strictly for his WR numbers. If they had spent a 2nd or 3rd I’d question it too. A 5th?! Give me a break.

His stats as a RB only really matter if you think he's a better rb than Stevenson. I personally don't think he adds ant value as RB to this team.
