I totally agree. I’m more of an old school RB guy. I firmly believe that it’s easier to find catches than it is to find a true workhorse RB. That said, I wanted to test out the anchor RB strategy by taking Chase, then following it with the best RB available on my list. Unfortunately my draft looks more like a zero RB strategy with a disappointing second round RB. I will say that Chase/Wilson/Sutton are high on my list for PPR scoring. But the way this draft has played out has made me uncomfortable and I’ve reached on RBs to fill a void. Which also made me take a QB earlier than I like, but I felt I needed strong QB to offset the RB position. Regardless of which strategy you pick, you’re going to have to get lucky with stretch picks at some point to be competitive. This is probably a strategy I won’t try when it counts because I’m not comfortable with it and I’ve proven that to myself with this draft. I’m having a blast with you all doing this, and learning things that will help me get better at a game that I absolutely love! And I very much appreciate your thoughts on this.

I liked that pick by nobody made. That was going to be my next pick. Great value there. It pretty much made my decision for me whether to take the WR depth vs double dipping on my RB disaster by reaching.

This makes me feel a little better about my last pick in the July mock.

Ok, that’s pretty dang funny!

What a mess! This is why I like two RBs early, but here we are. Tuten was purely an insurance pick. I expect Etienne to be the guy in Jax as I said earlier, but if he’s not I feel like Tuten will be. The goal was to solidify a RB2. The Judkins pick is pure hope. Who knows what will happen with this kid at this point, but I expect to get at least half a season from him as the workhorse he was drafted to be. YIKES!

Waddle could be the steal of this draft if Hill gets moved out of Mia

Thank you sir Etienne - straight up home pick! JK. I think there will be a RB that thrives in Coen’s offense like Bucky last year. There are two RBs on the Jags roster that fit the outside zone run scheme the best. One being Etienne, and the other being a rookie that seems to be the sexier pick. The deciding factor for me is two-fold. The rookie was plagued with fumbles in college, and needs work (according to camp reports) on pass protection. Etienne is one season removed from being the PPR RB3 in 2023, and he’s been Trevor’s RB since college…so there’s trust there. I could be totally wrong on this gut feeling, but at this point he was the highest upside, proven at the NFL level, option for my RB2.

I’ll save my thoughts on Travis for the round seven commentary thread

Andrews just seemed like a safe pick at this point.

I really like the Rice pick. Regardless of the suspension, he’ll be a force when it matters in the second half and is clearly the favorite target now in KC.

I’ll also add that I’m probably going to have to start reaching a little just to accommodate needs.

I like it!

Man, I still remember seeing Boston in that first game after he bulked up like that. He looked like an edge rusher running down the field. It never looked right to me.

I really need a 2nd RB but not willing to reach for a guy just to do it when there’s better value at the 4.12 5.1 turn. I figure if I’m going to be weak at RB I may as well try to make that up with a top 5 QB in Burrow to go with Jamar. Now this team clearly goes as Cincy goes with 3 players from that team in the first 4 rounds. I expect them to be one of the best offenses in the league again this year. As for the Sutton pick…it was really between him and Flowers. I went with Sutton because he has very little competition for targets, he really came on in the second half last year, and I expect Nix to take another step forward this year in his development.

5.01 WR Courtland Sutton Den

4.12 QB Joe Burrow, Cin

I really expect that offense to cook this year. I think you’re in great shape. Nico was going nuclear last year if I remember correctly.

I wanted Jacobs at the 2/3 turn….but Mr Landry sniped me. I’m ok with starting my draft with Chase Brown (now I have both Cincy Chase’s) in PPR. I think he holds onto the lions share of RB touches in a high powered offense. As for Garrett Wilson, I may be a little higher on him than most. He’s back with his college QB and Adams is gone so I expect a good year for him in PPR formats.
