Imo Edwards was pushing Williams off the field as soon as the first game. Edwards has been running as the starting X receiver this entire training camp because Tyrell Williams was hurt. Now this new injury opens up everything for him week 1.
Thanks for the update. It is always interesting to survey these drafts with an eye toward trends vs. outliers. I wonder if Aiyuk's recent injury prompted him to fall to the mid 2nd, and is that something others are seeing in recent drafts? Edwards' stock appears to be rising quickly. Shenault falling to the end of Round 2 also surprises me.
Edwards is my pick. I have been high on him all summer. He probably would have gone in the 2nd if I hadn't drafted him.
I wonder if Vaughn is still going this high. I am guessing in most leagues, he is behind Gibson and Moss, based on camp reports.steelers1080 said:
1.08 is high for Dillon. I’m big on him but wouldn’t touch until 1.11-1.12

I also took Mims over Edwards at 2.04. I regretted it instantly and wound up trading for Edwards later.
Due to a prior trade, I lacked a pick in the third round, but I was happy to land Brandon Aiyuk in the second. You are right that the third round is loaded.
I assume this is for dynasty.
Interesting. I rank Burrow as the clear top rookie passer, but I am not completely sold on Herbert. Herbert never had the weapons at Oregon that either Burrow or Tua enjoyed at LSU and Alabama, and I try to keep that in mind. I love the opportunity for Herbert, but his delivery is slow and his footwork is questionable. That is not a good recipe for rookie success, especially playing behind a rebuilt line.
The guy that took Burrow has Cam Newton, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andy Dalton, so he needed some help there. Was surprised by Herbert though.
As a fellow Aiyuk dynasty owner, I welcome you! It seems unlikely any of those make it back around to you, but this is such a deep class. At receiver, you could see Edwards get back to you, or perhaps Shenault, Van Jefferson, Mims or Claypool fall to you at 3.01, and there are some quality RBs who could be there, as well. I love the second and third rounds in rookie drafts this season.
Probably too high for the QBs in a start 1 QB league. I would have taken Pittman over Dillion, Moss, and Gibson.
AP just cut. So Gibson stock is even higher. Middle to late first now probably.
I know, just pointing out his stock is higher now. So my advice aged well. BTW, Faust posted articles indicating his reps with first team and how impressive he was. I wouldn’t have anticipated cutting AP. But it is clear Rivera didn’t want to have confusion in front of Gibson. Definition of a complete package at rb.
I love Gibson as much as the next guy, but last season he had 33 carries in 14 games. Our definition of complete package RB is wildly different
I am referring to the ability to run with power and illusiveness but run routes like a wr. Lending itself to not only be a three down back, but one you can line up as wr to create mismatch against a lb. Like we see with CMC.
4.39 at 230 pounds. 
He had 44 career receptions to go along with his 33 career carries, so he’s hardly a receiver or a running back. We have to wonder why he’s been a career change of pace at a lousy school.I am referring to the ability to run with power and illusiveness but run routes like a wr.

Also he was primarily a wr at Memphis. On those 33 caries he averaged 11.2 ypc.
He is a complete package in my book, but you don’t have to agree.
33 carries is a tiny sample size and it’s a juicy system. Darrell Henderson played for Memphis and the two years prior had 344 carries for 3063 yards (8.9 per carry).Maybe you could ask the person that didn’t play him more after 11.2 ypc
Gibson ahead of Lamb and Jeudy?!
