1.04 - Joe Mixon: Constantly being comped to Bell/DJ in terms of skillset and was getting rumoured to be drafted by Cincy for a while. I don't think it's the greatest landing spot seeing as how Cincy's OL got gutted this year, but one thing he shouldn't really have to worry about is stacked boxes w/ Green, Eifert, and Ross keeping defenses honest. Hill's a UDFA in '18, and Gio is returning from an ACL tear. Like Cook, I'd expect Mixon to get the majority of the touches.
1.05 - Corey Davis: What a landing spot for Davis to be Mariota's WR1 for the next 5 years? Sign me up! This kid's got some talent and I would happily take the guy getting drafted at the top of plenty of drafts at the 5 spot and saving a good amount of $$ on him. Don't need him to produce this year w/ my WR depth, but have really high hopes for him.
1.07 - Mike Williams: Pretty happy to land Mike Williams here at the 1.07, adding another stud WR to my team. Should thrive w/ Rivers. Some concerns about the Treadwell comparisons after a massive bust of a rookie season, but I like his chances to succeed. Clemson's produced some pretty awesome WRs in recent years, and I think he's next in line. I went back and forth a lot between Williams and Engram with this pick. Tried to trade up to get Engram, but no luck with Vit selecting him instead of accepting my trade offer
1.13 - David Njoku: Was pretty worried that Vit was going to double dip at TE and take Njoku, so I was happy he didn't. I really didn't want to have to decide if I should pass on Ross or take another WR. I thought about taking Perine here as well, but ended up going w/ the sky high ceiling that Njoku has. With CLE dumping Barnidge, it looks like he's gonna be starting right away and could easily be producing some solid numbers in Y1 which'll be a nice bonus. Hopefully I don't have to rely on him and Eifert is finally be healthy for a change.
2.01 - Patrick Mahomes: Baby Brett! Loved the landing spot w/ Andy Reid to fine tune his skills. Hopefully he takes the job this season just like Kaepernick did to Smith a few years back w/ the 49ers. That being said, not expecting much out of him Y1, but here's to hoping for Y2-Y5 that he can be a QB1. First time drafting a QB since joining The League. I offered this pick up to a bunch of teams while LVE was OTC and no one was interested so I went with my gut and chose Mahomes. Thought about drafting Jamaal/Joe Williams at this pick & seeing if Mahomes was available at the 2.04, but I had a feeling if I passed him up that LB would have drafted him at 2.03.
2.04 - Joe Williams: LB made my decision easy by taking Jamaal Williams at the 2.03 so I happily picked Joe Williams, the guy that Kyle Shanahan pounded the table for. It doesn't seem like they're totally committed to Hyde, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Tried trading back into the 3rd round to select Aaron Jones (who LB took) or Jonnu Smith (who BTP and I are battling over in FA right now) but no one was interested.
Surprisingly, I didn't get a single team inquire about any of my draft picks. Thought for sure that with the amount of 1st round picks I had, someone would've been calling.
Should be fine. Really liking the outlook of my team this year and in future years. I've got some pretty bad injury luck mojo tho....
I hope he kills it and it's clear he's not getting off ur bench. So I hope he kills it on ur bench.
