Blake Corum vs Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Values are nearly even — within 5% of each other.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR CORUM
Blake Corum lands in a strong offensive system with the Rams and has a clearer path to early touches behind Kyren Williams. His college production and draft capital give him a safer floor compared to most rookie backs. At 25.7, he's older for a rookie, but he could step into an immediate committee role with upside if injuries strike. The Rams' commitment to the run game boosts his touchdown potential.
THE CASE FOR CROSKEY-MERRITT
Jacory Croskey-Merritt is intriguing as a Washington back with less competition behind Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler, both of whom have uncertain long-term roles. He's a physical runner and showed well at the college level, flashing goal-line ability. At 25.3, age isn't a separator here, and Washington's unsettled depth chart could open up opportunity if he impresses early. He's a cheap upside play with paths to volume.

Croskey-Merritt offers a similar age and potential, but Corum's higher value and draft investment make him the better hold.
