Draft Note by John Paulsen
Tuten is the incumbent piece in a Jacksonville backfield that lost Travis Etienne this offseason, leaving 260 vacated carries in his wake–72% of the team's total, the largest percentage of any team in the league. While Etienne had more carries (12) inside the opponent’s five-yard line, he only scored two touchdowns while Tuten converted seven carries into five scores. Tuten’s athletic tools are real: his 4.32 speed and burst give him legitimate big-play upside that shows up in his 75th-percentile elusive rating and 92nd-percentile success rate. The run grade (8th percentile) is harder to dismiss, though the Jacksonville line gave him almost nothing pre-contact (11th-percentile YBC/Att), which clouds the picture. The addition of guard Emmanuel Pregnon (99th-percentile run blocker) in the third round should create more holes. Chris Rodriguez is now in the mix, making this a genuine committee rather than a featured-back situation. Tuten’s receiving role was minimal last year, but there could be significant growth in that area with Etienne out of the way and Rodriguez’s limited pass-catching ability. We’re likely to see a Tuten/Rodriguez committee but Tuten should see the goal-line work and more receiving work, and that’s key for his fantasy value.
