Why did you pass on Corey Davis? You have Zeke at RB, but you don't really have much at WR.

Either way, go BPA. 1.08 I'd be looking at Howard or Njoku, even though you already have Henry and Ertz. I'd trade to trade Henry as his value is high, try to get a WR.

I passed on Davis because I am trying to work out a deal for either TY Hilton or Mike Evans. The owner who has Evans has no first round picks and needs running backs.

Should of taken davis

I can see that, but what if that deal doesn't go through? I would have taken one of the RB and Davis, and if you got Evans or Hilton to pair with Davis, that would have been even better.

It didn't fall through and I got Mike Evans. Elliot was the only running back I had and in my opinion I was able to get the two best available in the draft. Now if I can just land Howard/Evans/Njoku I should be set at pretty much all positions, but still be somewhat weak at WR.

[Buckhill Bombers]

While i agree he should have taken Davis, Mixon isn't a bad player, tons of upside too. And the fact that you got Mike Evans is great. nice job!

[The Red Rooster]

Mike Evans > Davis...by a lot.

What did it cost you out of curiosity?

I only had to give up Hunter Henry, pick 1.12 and the 2 2018 1st round picks that I have to get Evans. So probably with 1.08 I will grab whichever TE falls to me and that basically takes care of the hole left by Henry.

This team doesn't need too much but needed more running backs and to get a couple decent receivers. Evans for a couple of 2018 unknowns works for me.

[Goddard]

Definitely go BPA. Hope that Howard falls to you at 1.08. 1.11 and 1.12 should get you a nice RB and maybe the 2nd TE if Howard isn't there at 1.08.

[dchurch85]

Great deal by Evans. I can see why you went the way you did. Good job.

Getting Howard would be a nice compliment to Henry! My fingers are crossed that I land him and Zay Jones!

Great deal by Evans. I can see why you went the way you did. Good job.

Thanks! When I was thinking about the draft plan and the plan to get Evans I was hoping everything worked out like it did.

well played

[Cowboysfan33]

Good trade for Evans and solid draft too, so why did someone take Vinatieri in the first round?
