Good afternoon everyone and @Sigmund Bloom. I didn't see this annual list that usually is released around this time of year. Has this been made this year? Did I miss it? One one of my favorite lists. Thanks...
Yes he does both.Does he do a pre & post draft top 100? I thought only post draft
Loads of fun comparing the Bloom 100 and the RSPSig tweeted he is putting his final touches on the list. Should be out any minute...

I think it's a useful exercise. It helps prevent me from whiplashing too much after.Pre-draft is meaningless anyway.
It is entertainment, much like most of FF for me anyway.Pre-draft is meaningless anyway.
You must not be married.....longest "in a few minutes" I've ever experienced.
He made me feel better about my 3rd round picks. Don't think it'll swing what I do at 2.8 and 2.9, but I'm giving it more thought now than I did 6 hours ago.Heavy on the IDP in the first two rounds, and I can't say I disagree with him one bit. That's nice confirmation to have, as I thought it might be that way.
I've only got seven, and they're all in the first two rounds besides a fifth, so he made me rethink what I had suspected. I'm now thinking harder about the nagging truth of this draft. He also completely solidified my hopeful 2.4.He made me feel better about my 3rd round picks.

Well, it's a nagging truth that's not set in stone, and it's only a feeling I have given the analysts, but given my roster, I don't think that the offensive players are worth the risk in the late second over defensive players that might step right in and contribute at linebacker (which is the position with the greatest variance in points and potential to score points in my league). And that's both the WRs and RBs. He's got Parsons going in the first, and JOK, Zaven Collins, Jamin Davis, and Nick Bolton all in that 17-25 range where I have three picks.What truth?
Yes. He smoked his pro day. I don't where Bloom is coming from with that.Don't want to spotlight too much, but if I may shed a little light, I was pleased to see where he ranked Elijah Moore, but confused by the statement that he's "not a true burner." Didn't he run a 4.35 at Pro Day (Yes, I know Pro Day clocks tend to favor players over combine clocks), but I think his speed and separation ability (aka, hips) make him an elite prospect.
For me I think Zach Wilson, Trey Sermon, both tight ends, Tylan Wallace, Nico Colllins, Dyami Brown, and Josh Palmer (maybe Seth Williams) could all jump them sometime Friday. I'd bet on at least a couple-few of them. They may be riskier, but scared money don't make money.Well, it's a nagging truth that's not set in stone, and it's only a feeling I have given the analysts, but given my roster, I don't think that the offensive players are worth the risk in the late second over defensive players that might step right in and contribute at linebacker (which is the position with the greatest variance in points and potential to score points in my league).

I've got Sermon, Wallace, Collins, and Dyami Brown as risks worth taking, too. We're on the same page, I think. Also with respect to Gainwell and Carter. I don't need Zach Wilson because I have Mahomes, and if I go that route, I'm going running ability and upside at QB rather than certainty. I also was heartened by his Williams at sixteen pick. These boards are alive with the sound of Javonte Williams, and I don't see it.For me I think Zach Wilson, Trey Sermon, both tight ends, Tylan Wallace, Nico Colllins, Dyami Brown, and Josh Palmer (maybe Seth Williams) could all jump them sometime Friday.

My confirmation bias was tickled some with his rankings of Gainwell and Carter though.
I have Sam Howell in a devy and watched a lot of UNC ball last year. Williams and Carter were...fine, but the top level appeal has never registered with me either. I've read enough to think I may be wrong about Williams, but unless something head spinning happens Friday I'm out on Carter.I've got Sermon, Wallace, Collins, and Dyami Brown as risks worth taking, too.

Whatever it's worth, I've felt the same about this draft overall and these 2nd-3rd round picks (and scarily all the names discussed since the quoted post) as both rockaction and MAC_32. Here's to consensus.Well, it's a nagging truth that's not set in stone, and it's only a feeling I have given the analysts, but given my roster, I don't think that the offensive players are worth the risk in the late second over defensive players that might step right in and contribute at linebacker (which is the position with the greatest variance in points and potential to score points in my league).

That created some whiplash. I've mentally had them in round 3 because I think they're similarly as risky as the offensive players I've mentally had in round 2. His write ups mentioned the reasons why I have that risk assessment, but his conclusion was clearly different.I've got a few nagging concerns on some of the EDGE/DE and LB Collins vs where Bloom has them
It's early, but in one league I'm trying to figure out, I have the 14 and 30, and my QBs are Stafford and Goff. I like Stafford a lot for this year, but it's starting to look like the 14 is Lawrence if he's there. WR isn't a top need but they do make good trade fodder in that league. I do need a RB (Hunt, mostert, and garbage) but don't really like the value likely to be there. Parsons may be BPA if Lawrence is gone. 🤔.
I don't need a qb either, but I'm still planning to pick one from this crop. Wilson will probably be #4 though.
The problem with needing a RB and picking that low - among those in that cloud below the top 3, if they get picked early enough to a prime location then while they may make it to 14 now they won't this time next week.It's early, but in one league I'm trying to figure out, I have the 14 and 30, and my QBs are Stafford and Goff.

If Sermon goes round three to the Steelers and they upgrade their offensive line before picking him (and in the Steelers thread they've heard beat reporters mouthing this exact scenario), then Sermon is a first round pick. The question then is where in the first, probably not if.The problem with needing a RB and picking that low - among those in that cloud below the top 3, if they get picked early enough to a prime location then while they may make it to 14 now they won't this time next week.
Standard caveat - it depends on the league, but generally speaking I think you'd need to get to 8 to feel comfortable and 6 to feel certain.If Sermon goes round three to the Steelers and they upgrade their offensive line before picking him (and in the Steelers thread they've heard beat reporters mouthing this exact scenario), then Sermon is a first round pick.
