Pretty sure my prediction is way down now with limited BAL receiving.

Flowers -4.5
Fairburn -2.5
OBJ to Palmer -4
Likely I'm unsure, probably +3. His projection jumped when the projectors pulled the Andrews numbers which happened after the post above.

"I could potentially make it through to the next round" and "with Bo Melton as my top-scoring WR" were not two parts of a sentence I ever expected to combine in my life, but here we are.

I was helping Karen deliver home-made chicken chili, with cheese and chips to three families with illness or upcoming surgeries, so watched the entire night game on delay. Wow, close finish. Congrats to Mr. I, Bass and Duckboy for advancing.
Interested in this week’s schedule as we are leaving Wednesday for LR to visit friends and my mom before leaving the next day to have a delayed Christmas with our daughter and her family.

I was hoping that we could get as much Deebo and other injury news as possible so it takes some of the luck out of the process.
Duckboy
IBL Representative
You and I are the only ones with keeper q's and it's mostly a Andrews in/out deal for me. Other 2 pretty much only have 2 keepers (would have been funny if Buffalo had won, not sure who if any @Mr. Irrelevant would have kept). I'm travelling Friday/Saturday (up and back from Portland to Seattle and busy Friday night) but I worked around 130 hrs with no power, figure I can do it here to, especially since I suspect I'll get the 4 hole this time.
BassNBrew
Footballguy
I won't be keeping Andrews. But if we can keep this from hinging on whether or not a 3rd round Deebo or 5th round Andrews plays, it would be better IMO. That said, I'm fine going with whatever the majority wants for a draft date.
Duckboy
IBL Representative
Like I said, fine either way for me. I think waiting until Friday to start the draft makes better sense, with only 40 picks basically. maybe keepers by Wednesday which gives you a day to set things up.
Mr. Irrelevant
IBL Representative
You’ll all be shocked to hear that after long deliberation, I’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and keep Mahomes and Kelce.
rzrback77
Footballguy
Very much agree with @Duckboy about the inability to get clarity. Even though I will be so busy with the grandkids (and very happy about that), I now agree that the draft should begin as late as possible. And even with the late draft, there still may be confusion.
I am also having more difficulty selecting my draft slot, but have decided to continue with the first pick. Already looking forward to the games Sunday and hope that I get to watch some.
Good luck @Mr. Irrelevant, @BassNBrew, and @Duckboy. It has been a fun year competing with and against y’all.

Apologies as I didn't read Stephan's last post closely enough - thought we were waiting on him. I'll take #2 again.

You left me with a real Hobson's choice here, son. Ugh.I think I know exactly where @BassNBrew is going to go now and I hate myself for letting him get away with it, but the alternative was arguably worse.
1.02 - Brandon Aiyuk WR SF

Well, really surprised that Andrews almost made it back to me. Missed him by (Maxwell Smart voice) “this much.”
Very interesting draft. Double dipping on RBs at this turn with Monty and suddenly very spry and strong Justice Hill.

Nice pick. I took 3 thinking Gibbs and then hoping Rice fell and then deciding between Andrews and Monty on the way back. Deebo also may have been in the mix. Happy the way this played out.

I’ll be buried at TE, unless Eryn is ready and catches a few passes.
QB - Lamar Jackson - had a guaranteed keeper from SF/Detroit, so went where a big score was possible and also a low floor for a considered keeper next week.
RB - CMC and Montgomery, then added Justice Hill, chosen over Edwards because thought he was my best shot at flex scoring.
WR - Amon-Ra and a bunch of prayers for big plays. OBJ, wanted my Detroit Reynolds wrapper, but sniped. Not real fans of the others, but maybe Hardman catches and holds into a bomb, then Bell who seems to score some TDs on minimal chances.
TE - Ertz, please be healthy and catch a pass or three.
PK - Moody awesome weather here and expect high scoring gsme
DST - Lions, all that was left.
I see a wide variance of rosters and possibly a fight to the wire to advance. Counting a lot on L Jax, CMC and Amon-Ra with hopes on Monty and Hill, then prayers after that.
Good Luck all!

1.07 Kelce, Travis KCC TE / 2.03 Mahomes, Patrick KCC QB - It's why I drafted them last week so no thought needed here.
3.07 Aiyuk, Brandon SFO WR - I didn't expect L-Jax at 1.01 which made this a tough call. I was 100% sure Bass would grab either LaPorta or Andrews at 3 for keeper potential alone, but taking a TE2 and gifting him Aiyuk instead seemed stupid. Ultimately the Deebo uncertainty made him too good to pass on here.
4.03 Andrews, Mark BAL TE - No-brainer. Felt like an absolute gift at 7 overall. With CMC already on Stephan's roster I'm sure to get one of Monty or Hill coming back.
5.07 Edwards, Gus BAL RB - ... or not. Well, this sucks. Ducky doesn't have an RB either and might take 2 at the turn, so I had to bite the bullet on a guy I don't really like. Saving grace is KC is so bad against the run that Edwards could get 12-15 by accident.
6.03 Reynolds, Josh DET WR - Lions' clear #2 in the postseason and I expect SF to roll safety coverage Sun God's way.
7.07 Bateman, Rashod BAL WR - BAL's WR room isn't quite as muddled at KC's but it's close. Should get a handful of targets at least.
8.03 Tucker, Justin BAL PK - Seems silly to talk "spike week" potential for a kicker, but would anyone be surprised if Harbaugh calls his number 5 times on Sunday? Guy ain't exactly Dan Campbell when it comes to going for the jugular.
9.07 Conley, Chris SFO WR - I think if Deebo plays at all, he'll be more of a decoy. Someone's going to have to pick up that slack.
10.03 Cook, Dalvin BAL RB / 11.07 Juszczyk, Kyle SFO RB - Best I can hope for is that one of these guys falls into the end zone.
12.03 Chiefs, Kansas City KCC Def - A good unit in a bad-weather game with a low total is way better than I deserve with my last pick.
QB - Mahomes
RB - Gus Bus, Cook, Scrabble Boy
WR - Aiyuk, Reynolds, Bateman, Conley
TE - Kelce, Andrews
ST - Tucker, KC DST
It's hard to imagine a 4-team draft with four more different roster constructions than we wound up with. I feel like I scooped some more value in this draft than in last week's, but being way overweight the AFC game and underweight the NFC one doesn't exactly thrill me given team tendencies and Vegas totals. Hopefully Mahomes and Lamar will play like the two guys with 4 MVPs that they are and keep those two offenses humming ... either way I expect this'll come down to the wire. Good luck everyone!

My reasoning for taking Lamar Jackson first was two-fold, even though it was a little bit odd.
First is, I think that he could have a similar game Sunday against the Chiefs to what he had last week, with the forecast for rain and the Chiefs susceptible to the running game and especially running QBs. So teaming him with the top RB and one of the top WRs seemed like a god plan.
Second, I would like a Raven to potentially carry forward, if I can advance. And I think that he is the best Raven to have over the next two weeks.
Third, I looked at what I saw as my top nine and was hoping that Andrews and/or Deebo might drop to eight. They did not, but was really happy to get three of what I saw as the top six RBs, to use as a flex and as a block to the scoundrels that drafted all the good TEs and WRs.
I agree with @Mr. Irrelevant that the team construction variance was off the charts.

I think I would have taken Reynolds over both Jennings and Jameson, to be honest. He doesn't have the explosive element of those two but there are an awful lot of game scripts on Sunday where he'll get force-fed 8-10 targets.
And it's my first time in this format but I suspect that at a certain point in the draft, blocking out other teams from filling gaps has more value than going BPA, so you probably played that 4-5 turn well. Live and learn.

I couldn’t afford another Lion, hence Jennings. I love this format because looking forward is a huge component to success.
