I think the 10th pick comment was regarding picking Kelce there and figuring the players he listed before would be picked 1 through 9.
I'd go Hopkins. Safest pick on the board. Too many questions with Bell or Johnson. Although I wouldn't blame you for going with one of them either.
Depends if you like the WR's that will be available in the 2nd/3rd round better or if you like the RB's that will be available better when comparing them to what your roster looks like the other way. Personally I like Hopkins in that spot and like the RB choices that are at the back end of the 2nd round. I think it's the safest way to go. If you are more risky then I roll the dice with DJ. He put up RB1 numbers last year in what everyone says is a very disappointing season. If they get any improvement on offense he has a chance to finish about #5 overall. However, if Murray/Kingsbury are busts then he has the potential of really flaming out. Because of that I go with the safer Hopkins.

I'd secure Adams and take 2 RBs on your next picks, like Chubb/D.Cook/Damien Williams/Mack/D.Henry

I'd take Hopkins and then depending on who is available snag Gurley in the 2nd or 3rd.

This appears to be a non-keeper league. Chubb will last that long, or should last that long. He is the guy for only 8 games, half the season then Hunt blows him out of the water.

So can you trade back to the 10th spot, and maybe pick up a little something for your trouble?
I completely disagree with this statement. I see Chubb as a much better talent and will be entrenched as he is the Browns long term commitment. Hunt is brought in as a cheap insurance policy with lots of risk. There is no way Chubb lasts to the mid to late second round in any style draft this year.

So maybe i exaggerate when i say "Hunt blows him out of the water". I guess what I mean is instead of a Chubb workhorse after week8, it turns into a RBBC. Hunt is too good to keep on the bench IMO. In my league, each manager gets to keep 1 player from last year's final roster. Chubb won't last to mid to late 2nd round in that league. I do believe he lasts that long in non-keeper formats. People are scared of Hunt, as they should be.Gally said:
Go look at the Chubb thread in the SP. There are plenty of people that aren't scared of Hunt at all. I am not sure how scared I am of Hunt (probably minimally) although I do believe he will have a role when/if he returns. Chubb is an elite talent and the Browns have invested a decent amount in him. He will lose some touches to Hunt for the back half of the season but I still think he finishes as a top 10 RB at a minimum and will get the bulk of the carries even after Hunt comes back.
All it takes is one owner to believe that Chubb is the guy and he will be a 1st round pick in all formats. I don't see any way he lasts to the back end of round 2.

Chubb will be on a pitch count once Hunt comes back. Even if the organization view Chubb as a clear cut franchise bell-cow, the talent drop is not big between him and Hunt so you use Hunt in an RBBC to manage the hits and tread on the tire for Chubb considering their playoff aspirations and his future shelf life.
