Very pleased to land
Brian Thomas
at 3.06. No other considerations.
Chase Brown
went at 3.05, which might have given me pause.
I started
Achane
,
Jefferson
and
Thomas
and pretty happy with that. I figured
Travis Hunter
would be gone but if he makes it to my next set of picks on the turn he will be hard to pass up even though I would prefer not having teammates at WR.
Travis Hunter
actually made it back to me at 4.07 (#43 ovr), well below his SFB ADP of #30 ovr, so I had the opportunity to pair
Thomas
/
Hunter
. I passed.
In the 12 picks that followed my 3.06
Brian Thomas
, we had an RB run (7RB/3WR/2TE) . So 5QB / 21RB / 12WR / 4TE is where the spread stood at 4.07. No value in taking a RB here,
Kittle
went at 4.04, which was my only early TE target, there was an overabundance of value at WR, so I decided to see if I could make a 'fun' pick, and have some influence on the Board, and possibly push some WR value back my way for 5.06.
Two 2-way QB were still available, and only of the 5 Teams drafting behind me had a QB, so it felt like it might be the time. I was still mulling the 'what if' had
Hurts
fallen 1 more pick back to me in the 2nd Round, and the possibilities that might have generated from a
Daniels
/
Hurts
start. While I'm intrigued by
Fields
, I've owned enough
Murray
over the years, and that can be a chore. Definitely not 'fun'. So,
Fields
I went.
It sorta worked, only 3 QB's went in the next 10 picks (
Mahomes
at 4.11 and Caleb(!)/
Maye
(!) at 4.12/5.1 turn...but the other 7 picks weren't anyone I was holding my breath on (
McConkey
,
Hunter
,
Judkins
,
Henderson
,
Swift
,
Rice
and
Adams
), and took the
Hunter
and
Rice
decisions off my plate.
It's not Best-Ball, so stacking isn't something I'm prioritizing, but among other WR I didn't expect to be sitting there was
Garrett Wilson
. Feels like a WR run coming, so swooped him up as WR17(!), and will see if something tasty works it's way back to me.
Through 5:
Jayden Daniels
,
Justin Fields
,
Josh Jacobs
,
Brian Thomas
,
Garrett Wilson
.
