After a week of turning the clock back, now our sights move to the future. Our team of experts made their picks for the studs of the next half decade - an exercise that is helpful for evaluating the long-term value of some of today's superstars, both young and old. At the quarterback position, Patrick Mahomes was the clear cut QB1, but beyond that things get shaky, as we don't know how sustainable Lamar Jackson's style of play really is. At running back, besides Christian McCaffrey, is there anyone who is a sure-thing to produce for years on end? Youngsters like Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jonathan Taylor, and Travis Etienne received votes, but how sure are we that they can be better than Saquon Barkley or Ezekiel Elliott? The biggest differences were at wide receiver, as an argument can be made for JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyreek Hill, Chris Godwin and A.J. Brown as the next big thing over the next five years. And finally, at tight end, is a multi-year breakout more likely for Mike Gesicki or Noah Fant?
Plus, on today's CBS Sports HQ show at noon and on the podcast, the FFT guys explain their future picks. Dave defends his selection of Etienne and Ja'Marr Chase, Adam loves Tyreek Hill, and Heath makes his case for Hunter Henry.
