If this were me in my league, I'd take my mancrush eschewing value, or trade back.
However, as this is educational...

Martin has drawn comparisons to Rice, but I think Rice is MUCH thicker in the legs. Martin with his high bench reps carries a bit of weight up top. Certainly not a bad thing to perform well in the bench but would like more in the thighs. This may sound highly critical but I think we should be when comparing someone to a top 3 dynasty back.

All of that being said, Martin has the look of a three down back. His experience pass protecting and receiving will prove invaluable.

Blackmon has been getting pimped as the #1 WR but Floyd has gained ground. Greg Cosell and others have said that they prefer Floyd over Blackmon.

I knew I would get one of the top 2 of a position but couldn't have imagined coming up with Blackmon at 6.

I understand Steamer's reasoning and glad I simply get to pick Blackmon.

[Leghumper]

It was a tough decision for sure. You could flip a coin on that one I think and after #6 is where the talent drops off a cliff IMO.

It was a toss up between Miller, Wilson or Polk....Miller seems to be more of the 3 down guy over the others to me

I understand Steamer's reasoning and glad I simply get to pick Blackmon.

and there it is: the consensus top 8 once again. I wonder if it will be this predictable two weeks from today?

probably my favorite RB after Trent, glad he fell to me. love his vision and patience. not to mention he accomplished what he did w/ a below average line. little unsure on Wilson b/c of ball control issues and avg vision, wish Miller would have stayed in college another year, and it seems that Martin, similar to Dontari Poe, is getting a tad bit overhyped b/c of a strong combine. just my opinion but I put a lot more stock into in-season performance over the underwear olympics

Was hoping Polk would fall here. Not high on the remaining RB and WR, so I nab an IDP who has a chance to have an immediate impact.
