So this draft has been finished for a few days.
These were my results. I had identified some non rookies that had been cut pre draft that I thought could have value. I hadn’t intended to draft them exclusively but they kept falling to me while everyone else dealt with Rookie Fever.
1.08. Traded for Rashaad Penny, 2.05 and 6.05 (was down to picking Deebo or Marquise Brown)
2.05 Samuel, Deebo SFO WR (Yay!)
2.08 Murray, Kyler ARI QB (QBs are Brees and Rivers, figured I better have a younger option just in case, and Kyler could be a FF superstar. I’m not 100% sold on him, but at Pick 20 he is worth the gamble.)
3.08 Hill, Justice BAL RB (needed RBs and seemed a good value)
4.08 Davenport, Marcus NOS DE (Top DL were Suh and Ogbah…I was pretty surprised when he was dropped pre draft. Someone else’s impatience will be my fantastic value)
With 5.02 OTC I traded my 2020 4th for 5.02 and 5.03
5.02 Ngakoue, Yannick JAC DE (Another good young DE…only 25 with 30 career sacks …with Josh Allen on tbe other side now Ngakoue could be a monster)
5.03 Peppers, Jabrill NYG S (Top S were LCollins and Marcus Maye…Peppers will be able to play more of a traditional SS role in NY)
6.05 Hicks, Akiem CHI DE (Lower on IDP gurus list but #10 DE on DLFs list…sneaky good with some guy named Khalil getting attention on the other side)
6.08 Jefferson, Tony BAL S (Top 15ish on DFLs list. Read in a couple of places he spent the last two years playing off the line further to cover Eric Weddles coverage liabilities, and that Earl Thomas wont need that babysitting, leaving Jefferson in the box more, just like he used to.)
At some point in tbe draft I traded Greg Olsen for 6.11. I have Njoku, Gesicki and Graham and no confidence Olsen will ever be worth anything again. I was actually surprised someone wanted him
6.11 Brown, Jayon TEN LB (Young ILB…may have to share some snaps with Rashaan Evans this year, but Wesley Woodyard isn’t immortal. Has anyone actually seen Woodyard since “you know who” offed the Night King? Its possible I drafted him just use that line)
7.08 Harrison, Ronnie JAC S (Young SS on a good defense… seems very underrated to me)
With 8.08 ITC, Traded Kyle Fuller for 8.08
8.08 Tavai, Jahlani DET LB (Guarenteed DROY. IDP guru said so.)
