Elite pre-injury profile at RB47 (round 11); tons of upside at reasonable price

Jonathon BrooksCAR

Brooks offers significant contingent upside in best-ball formats at RB47 (round 11 ADP). Pre-injury at Texas, he was the best back in his class, rivaling Bijan Robinson with better contact balance, speed, quickness, and excellent vision. The buy case is his elite pre-injury profile; the sell case is two years without game action and uncertainty vs. Chuba Hubbard. Bob Harris emphasizes he has "tons of upside" and "all the ability" to outperform his price. In best ball, his upside if he wins the job outright justifies the ADP given the contingent upside and depth of RBs drafted ahead of him. Harris frames investing cheap shares in Brooks as "a good path to potential success," noting the Panthers' emphasis on "violent" running backs aligns with Brooks' profile.
