Ron Stewart on Josh Jacobs

Below tier-three options; source not interested in 3-4 turn; fallback in zero-RB.

Josh Jacobs is positioned in a tier below the tier-three options (Lamb, Jefferson, Devon Achane, Derrick Henry, Brock Bowers, AJ Brown, Drake London); the source rates him alongside Kairen Williams and Bree Hall as a lower-tier option. The source explicitly states 'I'm not big into Josh Jacobs' when discussing running back options after taking a wide receiver and running back in early rounds. Jacobs is presented as an alternative running back option in zero-RB build strategies, grouped with Kairen Williams and Javvante Williams as fallback choices if drafters are concerned about Jeremiah Love's ankle injury. Historically, Jacobs was a 2+ WAR running back in 2021, representing one of only two instances of elite-impact RBs found outside the first two rounds.
