Would I take Saquon Barkley or Bijan Robinson?

Saquon Barkley had a historic season last year, one that presumably will regress back to the mean. He had over 350 touches last season! I think there's enough risk that I'd rather take the younger player in an ascending offense who is not in this group of running backs. Give me Bijan Robinson when I'm on the clock early in the first round.
