I like it a lot, actually. I didn't think I would with you going RB/WR/RB/RB. But Stafford and Wentz should be a solid duo and have pretty good upside. I would've gone QB at 1.03 no matter what, but that's moreso on fear that fringe QB1 won't be around by the 5th and 6th rounds.

What was the trade for 6.05? And did you make that to jump back up for QB?

I'd like to see the first few rounds

Here is a link to the board: https://sleeper.app/draft/nfl/682038382322348032

Way different that how I usually draft where I hammer QBs & WRs early and often. I was expecting to trade out of 2 and 3 to accumulate picks in the 4th through 6th rounds but trading down was impossible so had to stick and pick. Thought Mixon was too good of a value in the late 4th to pass on.

The trade was my 7.03 + 11.05 for 6.05 + 15.08. Used the 6.05 for Wentz.

Any thoughts on packaging my 2022 1st + a 10th round pick for someone like Jeudy or Sutton? The board is pretty dry right now and Id like to get another young WR with big upside.

I personally like it. Nice RB/WR core. Good buy-lows on both Stafford and Wentz. Neither have top-5 QB upside, but they should both have solid floors with back-end QB1 upside. Make sure you snag a 3rd and a TE and then hammer high-upside backup RBs or some old vets that might receive decent work as a 1A/1B.

My biggest issue is TE with it being TE premium and you not having one yet. Hopefully there are some okay ones still on the board. I'd expect you can patch it up with a cheap vet or high-end TE2 type.

Really nice core so far and you actually came out with two solid but not great QBs given the format and how long you waited. The RB value of Chubb and Mixon really stick out as well as Cooper, nice work!

What's up with all the kickers??

Edit... Probably rookie picks, nvm

Not a bad deal to move up and get QB at 6. I like it. And yeah I could definitely see that as well. Packaging the future pick for a player you prefer now

It looks to me like you’ve been able to nail guys at great values at every turn here. Your QBs are locked in starters that have been high end producers before and are going to favorable new situations, I really like this so far!
