Yes & he's gonna miss time. They'll probably sit him down the stretch if they're not competing.


I thought about that.

The counterpoint is a player like that in the second round can you win the championship.

He's out week 1 & there's a good chance he misses more time. Very risky.

Ughh....saw he's visiting a specialist. I may put him on the trade block if anyone wants him. I would accept a Justin Jefferson for him

It's the WRs and none else. If the RB and QB spots can give me something average, i'd be pretty be happy with this draft.

That Ekeler pick threw me off a bit, i was ready to go Tyreke Hill with my 3rd overall pick (assuming Chase goes 2nd) and use the same "load up on WRs" strategy so obviously, i'll take it as Jefferson fall into my lap.

i wouldn't. Maybe if you had a Tier 1 QB then we'd be talking.

That was kind of the strategy

I took a couple of swings on RBs though, Jonathan Taylor isn't gonna do much for the first few weeks but I'm willing to bet he'll bounce back and whenever he gets on the field is gonna be a beast, and I think Khalil Herbert is a sneaky breakout candidate. Had over 700 yards last year on 5.7 YPC. I know they just signed Foreman and Fields is the focal point of the run game and should be passing more with DJ Moore, but still

Low risk, high reward RBs, since I went WR early and all the guaranteed RBs were gone.

I wouldn't trade for him unless it was at an extreme discount. :wink:

I see the Rashee Rice & Skyy Moore fan club is in full gear.

Chiefs have much better WR's this year, than last. And with all this talk and hype about Mahomes going after Peyton Manning's all time T.D. record of 55 T.D.'s, they should see their share. Plus both of them will get plenty of punt and kick off returns as well.

You took Skyy over guys like Lockett & Cooks lol. Cooks will be much more productive in Dallas.

I like the Gibbs pick. I like both he & Montgomery quite a bit.

It's going to be tough for Charbonnet to have much of an impact. Unless Walker is out for a significant amount.

Pass. Will only give up JJ in a 2 for 2 or maybe a 3 for 3, including a Top 3 QB.

My walker pick was the best pick the draft (by far)

Look at Cooks history. He hasn’t been below a top 24 WR in the last 7 years

Yup. Cooks in the 9th round is good value.

I was a little lower on Walker this year tbh. Charbs will cut down on his share. Plus he tends to deal with small injuries. I was avoiding both in fantasy.

I had Lamb so it doesn't make sense to take Cooks even though I agree with your assessment about him. I love Skyy Moore this year. Plus I couldn't draft another guy with a week 7 bye. Week 7 is already difficult for me enough.

Yeah, originally I was going to take Jefferson but then I looked at last year's fantasy points and Ekeler had more and the Chargers couldn't run because Slater (pro bowl left tackle) and a lot of the OL was out. Kellen Moore will take more shots downfield but also it should really open up the running game, plus he catches a lot of passes for a RB, especially since they don't have a great TE.

Their receivers were banged up too which is the counter argument but that could either happen again or they just may have an elite offense. They should.

Yeah, I'm surprised Taylor was ranked so low after being #1 ranked last year. I think sometimes the "experts" over adjust on the rankings. I kind of took Dalvin Cook as a low risk high upside guy and got him late as my 3rd RB.

He had a down year and he's missing at least the 1st month of the season cause of holding out or whatever

I'm not even certain he plays this year, it was a bit of a gamble to take him in the 4th.
