I'll have my pick at 1.02 but worried that there will be a huge run on RBs this year considering lack of perceived talent at WR and success of '17 RB class. Will be interesting to see what's still available for me in early 2nd. I'll take a WR but as you can see from roster below...not really what I need.
Im in the exact same boat if you observe my sig.
We have a lot of crossover on our rosters :thumbup:

At least in my situation I have Barkley locked up with the 1.01. I just hope I can get some depth with the 2.01. Ive tried unsuccessfully to trade OBJ for a package that included an RB and I tried trading Gordon for an RB.

Chubb truthers must've been secretly enjoying Monday's performance. Had to make his stock take a slight dip in the eyes of the average dynasty fan. Michel looked very special while Chubb looked very pedestrian. Granted, it makes some sense given that Bama's strength is defending up the gut rather than the edges, but still.

I'll have to re-watch it, but my initial impression was also that it wasn't all on Chubb. He doesn't have elite perimeter speed, and there was ZERO lanes to be had inside on most runs. I'm sticking to my Stephen Davis comp. I think in the right system he'll be a nice piece, but not elite as he was once thought of pre-injury.

If we stick with what we see on Chubb in that game and we are a Chubb truther... wouldn't this mean we are looking for a player that is much less that Fournette with potentionally not as good pass catching skills? I'm thinking past 3 years classes only.

what do we think in the QB realm for picks 2.05 and 2.10 (10 man league)? I'm having a tough time deciding if I should draft a QB, as my league is moving from 1 QB to superflex in 2019. Should I try to nab one in that realm if they are there? or should I gamble on other positions? gambling last year at our rookie draft, if you want to call it that, boded well for me, as I was able to grab Engram and Godwin with picks 2.7 and 2.10, but missed on Joe Williams at 2.04. I grabbed Watson with my mid 4th rounder, and flipped him for D. Cook and 1.07 2018, granted, this was before we knew we were moving to superflex. Guy I traded with had D. Hop and wanted that rainbow. I may have to rethink that now that it's superflex smh.

Interesting, I think I take at least 2 QBs in the draft (as long as you can get them early 2nd or later).

It's almost like trading for a top 4 pick this year, but knowing he'll tear an ACL in June 2018. So he'll be super valuable, just not so much until 2 years from now.

my only option is grabbing them 2.05 and on... i just feel like i may miss out on a skill position player. i hate to use Kamara as a referance, but a second rounder by all measures in 2018. even if i have a 1/10 chance of hitting on someone like him, i feel like i should take it. but... not if what you're saying registers. i have all the luxury in the world in waiting for a qb to develop for a year or two or three behind Cam (once Brees is done, buying me a year or two) and Carr as my superflex (god i hate the raiders, but Gruden may give him new life - despite rumors).

I actually am not as big a fan of his as others seem to be, which is detrimental to my draft plans. One less guy to be drafted before my late firsts I own. The good news I received today is our leagues are changing their draft lotteries from early/mid summer to next week or two. I was not too keen on waiting so long since they do not turn on trading until after the lottery either.

It is a REAL bummer that Harris is not entering this draft. He was part of what made the tier 2 RB depth SO appealing in this draft. In initial analysis I had him as my 3rd favorite RB in this draft and in some NFL drafts he could have been the 1st RB taken, possibly as early as late in the 1st round, like a Doug Martin.

I think this is a mistake for him, not because he can't improve his potential draft stock by a little, but because for RB's age and body wear are SO important in the NFL. He's risking injury prior to getting a contract in place and he's also cutting millions of dollars off from his life time potential earnings in the NFL.

He was my favorite player I was targeting with my 1.5 or so in this draft.

I was hoping to land him at 1.08 when I first saw mocks of him around there. Then I watched most of his '17 tape and quickly realized that wasn't going to happen and I would have to move up to get him.

It's unfortunate he's not coming out. I like what I see a lot and of the tape I've watched so far - which is a little bit on most of the big name prospects - I like him the most behind Barkley and Guice.
