The Cleveland Browns are eagerly awaiting Nick Chubb’s return, but his absence has highlighted the need for a reliable running game. Even with Chubb’s expected mid-season return, considering a quality backup or potential successor is wise. CBS Sports suggests drafting Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty in the first round as a solution.
Jeanty’s impressive college stats, including 586 yards and nine touchdowns in three games, demonstrate his star potential. His ability to make an impact in the pass game, similar to Jahmyr Gibbs, makes him an attractive prospect ¹.
Key Areas to Address:
– Running Back Depth: Adding a quality backup to support Chubb upon his return
– Quarterback Position: Exploring prospects like Quinn Ewers and Garrett Nussmeier
Drafting Jeanty or another talented running back would provide insurance for Chubb and bolster the Browns’ offense. This move would also allow Cleveland to prepare for the future, ensuring a solid running game regardless of Chubb’s performance or potential injuries.
