Why are so many people having Dalvin Cook dropping to around 1.05+?? I don't get it, what happen to all the love before the draft process started? His tape is legit

shhh.

It's a TERRIBLE situation. And yes, situation matters when drafting RBs

Lynch is looking better and better at the back end of the 1st for a contender.

Was Darboh projected this high? Is he moving into the high 2nd round now with all of these less than desirable landing spots?

Most analysts had him around the 4th. Slight reach but that's a good fit for him.

It isnt a desireable situation like people were hoping (GB, PHI, Indy) but it is not completely garbage...The vikings went and got 2 new starting tackles. Are they studs? NO...they are average but they both stay healthy, which is something neither tackle did for the Vikings last year. Picked up Elfein to play Center and Berger can go back to his natural RG position.

Thought same when Raiders passed on Foreman and stayed focused on defense. Definitely realize they need players on that side of the ball. Also good for Richard and Washington.

He should pass Latavius on the depth chart quickly but that's another variable to factor in when considering his situation.

I do like his PPR value playing next to Checkdown Charlie though. Just a bit disappointing considering all the teams around that draft spot. Same with Mixon to a lesser extent.

I'm a lot less excited about this class than I was 30 hrs ago. Maybe some 4th-5th round guys will land in some primo situations tomorrow.

I think he will work well with Bradford's dinky-dunky passes. Could actually be a decent PPR asset like Theo Riddick to begin with and then when the O-line is fixed, he can add more running yards to your fantasy scores.

Browns get their QB. yay, Kizer??

For everything Cleveland did right on day one they just wasted this pick.

Interested to see where Brian Hill, Marlon Mack, and Jamaal Williams land

Not to mention Perine, McNichols, & Gallman!

Big Notre Dame fan. Kizer is incredibly talented. As a former pitcher, he relies too much on his arm strength instead of his footwork but that should be fixable. Also needs maturity but that will come with age. More starting experience than all but Watson I think. It's a good value at that spot. Will be interested to see how it plays out.

Agreed. He has the upside, I think it was a decent value pick for them. Maybe it wasn't their best pick, but I think they showed good patience for getting a guy in a weaker QB class. If he doesn't work out, they didn't spend a 1st on him and they can still look at a QB next year.

I expect (and hope) that Kessler will be starting week 1. I was hoping Kizer would go somewhere like the Steelers where he would more clearly have to sit for a little time. Hopefully he can still get some of that in Cleveland, Kessler played admirably for a rookie 3rd string thrust suddenly into the fire last year.

Agreed. I'm a little surprised Perine is still out there. McNichols is definitely one I'm looking at where he lands, might end up somewhere with some good ppr appeal.
