I was hoping Mack would fall to me at 2.04 (actually tried to move up a few spots for him)...when that didn't happen, I happily took Juju. But then I immediately started working to acquire another pick because Foreman was the last RB I had on my board and I thought he was a really good value there in the middle of the 2nd.

Miller is a good RB but he is NOT a bellcow back...he can't handle more than like 20 carries a game and you saw him start to wear down last year from the heavy workload. Foreman should get some goal line work early and I think he should start to see more touches as the season wears on. If he performs well, I think Miller could be a cap casualty next offseason. He's due a lot of money.

Pumphrey isn't ready. I'm a Falcons fan and Breida is D. Freeman minus , needs to add 10 lbs. Big fan of Shanny's OF game plan in Frisco, Hyde will get hurt...Next man up.

Ty Montgomery....? Got me. I must have been drinking to spend that much, I'm a value shopper...Well I was.
I have no clue about Samuel...I thought that was a bit of an odd pick by Carolina and by you. Pumphrey and Breida (who?) are long-term projects / investments at best. Montgomery has tons of upside but you paid a high price for him.
Wr Hogan, could be special, but the Pat's always bring out some guy from the basement that excels. Wish I would have drafted A TE in this draft. Robby Anderson, should have some good games, when????. Gabriel will be traded next year, probably to to the 9er's. Landry boring, Pryor I have big hopes for.
Hogan is a JAG. But a JAG with Brady as his QB so...yay? Was a good draft to take a TE :D I wouldn't count on any Jets this year, especially pass-catchers...their QB situation is a dumpster fire. Landry is great...Pryor? Who knows. He didn't look great this preseason.

I'm really happy with how my team turned out. Obviously after making the trade for David Johnson I'm in win now mode. Hopefully being very aggressive the last couple of years finally pays off.

Good luck to everyone!

Outside of getting really lucky with a handful of prospects this year, I can't imagine I make a serious run. Then again, crazier things have happened!

Good luck to everyone this year!

Everyone bench your Bucs and Dolphins. If there's some karma for me losing D-Jax, maybe Antonio Brown won't go for 200 yards vs the Browns.

Yeah there goes my only viable starting RB (which I get is my fault...things just didn't go the way I wanted them to this offseason as it relates to my RBs). I don't know why they didn't just move the game to St. Louis or something. Making these teams play 16 straight games is pretty BS. What about player safety?

I feel pretty good about my team

Dalton should be ok and hopefully Wentz takes the next step

I really like my stable of young RBs, just need Perkins and Smallwood to solidify their starting spots

Seems the vast improvement of my divisional foes combined with the hemorrhaging of several franchise players over the past few years could finally catch up to me this season.

Fire sale is a definite possibility if things go south.

Good luck all!
I'm trying to catch you, but it hasn't been very easy!! I think my roster will be a bit more competitive this season hopefully!

Brieda is Tevin Coleman is SF, with Hyde liable to twist his ankle going to the shower> Shanny's OF in ATL relied on two backs, Breida is # 2 in SF, until Hyde get's hurt, then you have Freeman 2.0.

Curtis Samuel , if your not noticing how different players positions that have transitioned to a new position, well don't know what to tell you . I look at C.Samuel as Pryor(who I expect to be in the top 12), extreme athleticism , but with a learning curve. Pumphrey was, is a project, Sproles is retiring next year.... I don't draft off ADP, I do wish I could have done a couple things different...but not really. It has served me well in my money leagues, and normally I'm always in the playoffs....

The preseason the Falcon's went 0-4, the preseason for some teams this is simply practice against another helmet color.

My issues with Samuel are entirely related to where he landed and how the Panthers will use him.
