Lamar Jackson was getting pushed to the third round earlier in draft season but has slipped a bit into the fourth. There's optimism for him as a passer under new OC Todd Monken and all his new weapons (a healthy Bateman), Beckham and Zay Flowers, but he needs to run to retain his value.

Moreover, if the team goes away from the ground and pound with Edwards and Dobbins under Monken and puts it in Lamar's hands 600+ times, does Lamar survive the season? At only 215 pounds, Jackson takes some big hits, and his style of play is a young man's game -- usually isn't sustainable for more than a few years.
