I was pick 2. I'd done
a few mocks so I thought I had a solid plan.....
Round 1
Dalvin Cook RB
Round 2
CEH RB. Mocks had him falling here so I was ok with this, injury a slight concern. I was maybe hoping for Metcalf to slide but he went a couple of picks earlier.
Round 3
Chris Carson RB. I would have taken AJ Brown here but he was gone. I like being more stacked at RB and felt comfortable with the depth at WR to go with Carson as a pivot (one of my fav players). I didnt fancy many of the RB's coming back around to me and planned on picking up a nice WR in the 4th instead.
Round 4
Miles Sanders RB. So, I was not expecting to have four RBs at this point. Woods, Cooper and/or Evans had been available in the mocks 99% of the time. Sanders hadnt been available once and I hadnt done any research on him. I had a good look at going early on a usual 5th round WR or a TE (Andrews) or the tail end of my RB list (Gaskin, Davis, Henderson & Edwards). One minute goes very quick and I ended up just going with Sanders. I'm not entirely happy with this pick but we'll see how it goes.
Round 5
Cooper Kupp WR. Finally a WR! I rated Kupp the best available at this point so I was happy to have him as my WR1. He's a solid WR2 in reality but there's upside here imo.
Round 6
OBJ WR. I had my eye on Higgins or Aiyuk for this spot but they didnt make it around. I think he was worth a punt as a WR2 given he's available in the 6th round and the potential upside. Fingers crossed he can stay fit.
Round 7
Courtland Sutton WR. There was still WR depth in the 7th and I struggled a bit to choose. I should have gone for a safer pick given OBJ is my WR2... hmmmm. Maybe not my best decision in the draft but he could come good.
Round 8
Tom Brady QB. I hadn't drafted Brady once in my mocks so why did I do it? No idea. I still needed a TE and a safe WR for WR2/flex. Oh well, moving on.
Round 9
Robert Tonyan TE. Logan Thomas was gone - I felt that Tonyan was a nice safe pick. I rate him.
Round 10
Michael Gallup WR. A bit of a boom or bust pick. I like having him stashed away if I need him as a WR2 or FLEX.
Round 11
Alexander Mattison RB. Cook handcuff. Probably should have taken Callaway here and crossed my fingers that Mattison made it around to the 12th.
Round 12
Jonnu Smith TE. Just for TE cover really. I didnt really like many of the options left at RB or WR. A bit of a struggle now.
Round 13
Rashaad Penny RB. Attempted handcuff for Carson but it looks like Collins will be the RB2 for Seattle. Yuk
Round 14
Jamison Crowder WR. Might be ok to flex or provide cover for WR.
Round 15
Jalen Reagor WR. He was on my list but I clicked on him by mistake over picking a D. Since released for the Dolphins D then that was released to pick up Alex Collins (for now)
