The gap

  • Board size310 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Jacobs, and the board ranks him 26th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Blake Corum, and the board ranks him 48th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Josh Jacobs is 12.5 PPR points a game off 2 markets across 11 market sources. That is 70 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Blake Corum's market-based projection is 8.7 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 91st highest figure of the 208 players with a market-based projection.

Josh Jacobs's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
