DRBR: Philadelphia Eagles

For as good as Saquon Barkley was last season, his DRBR is not overly impressive—and that doesn’t matter. Again, this is a tool you're going to use to help make decisions. It’s not the end-all, be-all. You don’t just look at the numbers and say, “Oh, yeah, this way or that way.” You’ve got to dissect things.

Still, what the DRBR tells us is that the dude gets a ton of volume. He’s in a great offense with a really good offensive line. As for yards after contact, he’s just not getting hit all that much. Tackles avoided per attempt? Yeah, he’s making some guys miss here and there, but again—he doesn’t need to when he’s getting lanes the size of Philadelphia to run through.

We’re drafting Saquon Barkley. He’s a top-three pick. I don’t care what the DRBR says or what we think his upside is.
