    Justin Herbert wide receivers

    I dont think Chark is good enough to be a WR1. while the talent is there, his route running on some routes still needs work. What he does he does fairly well but he still struggles on certain routes. he is more likely to be a good WR2 if he gets his act together. he has had a 1000 yard season in the past and has played well in spurts but has also been woefully inconsistent. right now I think still hes mostly insurance in the sense they can play him if McConkey isnt where he needs to be or someone gets hurt. Like I said earlier whoever is gonna be a top 2 WR on this team needs to beat him out. I dont think the team wants him to win the battle unless he comes in and blows the doors off himself. They want McConkey to do this. They drafted him, hes Their guy. either way, there are likely 2 fantasy relevant WR on this team. I suspect Chark isnt one of them. I think it will be Palmer and McConkey.
  2. last 2 Picks for me. I wanted to take the Bears D. they were ranked low enough that I thought they would slip to me. but decided Philly is ok as a second Defense. debated picking a second TE as well but it was fairly picked clean but given I wanted a third qb I couldnt get everything. instead I took Bryce Young. its not unusual for a QB to have a rough rookie year. wouldnt surprise me if he actually put up some fantasy worthy games this year.

    Justin Herbert wide receivers

    well, its him and McConkey who will be 1-2 (in my opinion) Chark has an outside chance but I think they want McConkey to beat him out. but as a rookie sometimes it takes time for that to play out.

    Justin Herbert wide receivers

    well, there are some coaches who think pro level coaching will change that. it can in some cases. but most times not. and if your ability to separate isnt what it needs to be the WR needs to have a talent that allows them to catch the ball without separation. either you have a real wide catch radius with good hands or incredible leaping ability (like Dez Bryant) that allows you to run to a point on the field and the QB can just lob it up to you to go get. I dont know how many times a DB was all over Dez (as his route running was suspect at best) but hed simply get to the spot and out leap the DB for the ball. either way I dont see that in this guy either. This is why so many people are excited about Harrison. I actually found his ability to separate at times could be better but his catch radius is unbelievable and even if hes not open he still catches the ball if its reasonably thrown. so even if hes not open, he likely still comes up with the ball. That skill separates him from the other prospects.

    I do think Palmer is an underrated target. assuming good health he is for sure either the #1 or #2 WR in this offense. that likely makes him fantasy relevant. and you can get him dirt cheap in the draft.

    Chiefs Running Backs

    well, he has a totally different skillset from Pacheco. he is more an avid pass catcher but not a very strong between the tackles runner. Pacheco, on the other hand is ok (average) in the pass game among starters, but between the tackles hes exactly what you want.

    Justin Herbert wide receivers

    very true. and its tough sledding when that happens. Maybe a change of scenery is what he needs. but I dont know that he will get it.

    well, Quentin Johnston didnt really look good his rookie season. I have not seen enough of him to know exactly why. he didnt get a ton of playing time and when I did see him he was rarely on the camera. but if he doesnt show at least some progression in his game, he will shift from prospect to suspect in short order.

    O-lines Matter

    come on guys, lets keep this about the football. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. right or wrong. Lets not go with the name calling. try to keep it civil. for the record I dont think it was a case where Reid was run out of town by anyone. I think its a case where his son died of a drug overdose and I think Reid needed a change of scenery to get out of the city.

    Qb scoring change

    well, when the fantasy points for QBs becomes so overwhelmingly tilted toward the QB I think you need to go QB early. QB's who throw for TDs are now on a level playing field to those who rush for them. Lets face facts. if your QB gets 30 pass td or more, the TD change alone now gives them an extra 60 fantasy points per year. that's huge. I am going on the assumption that the rest of the positions are typical standard or PPR scoring? or is there some other rules with the scoring that changes that too?

    Chiefs Running Backs

    eventually this is likely Pachecos fate, though hes still fairly young. My guess is hes at least got a couple more years til this becomes a concern
  15. well, I think its between him and Javonte for the starting Job in Denver. either you believe in one or you believe in the other. If I had drafted Javonte I'd be real excited to get this guy as well just simply because you know one of these guys is likely to be the starter. but as a late round dart throw I dont mind this guy. at least the upside is there.

    July Mock Analysis

    I like cousins a lot in this offense. the only question is the injury. but hes not a running QB so I think as long as he can move within the pocket and it doesnt affect his throwing motion he will be just fine. I wanted him but because I was drafting on the end, I was robbed of the opportunity to get him because of the way the draft fell. I do like the cousins pick though.
  17. Drafting on the turn I grabbed the NY Jets D. I think they were the 4th or 5th ranked D last year and couldnt get off the field due to an inept offense. I think with an offense that moves the ball they will get late game turnovers from teams desperate to come back. I think there is the possibility this could be one of the top 2 or 3 defenses this year. my other pick Wicks is a guy I feel has a very high ceiling. There is the chance he breaks out next year instead of this year but I am excited about the potential of this guy and happy to use a pick at this point in the draft on him.

    Chiefs Running Backs

    well, he sure doesnt seem to be able to catch passes. might as well see if he has uses elsewhere in the lineup before kicking him to the curb
  22. yeah, but after hours picks and weekend picks are not a requirement. we cant come down on people for that. and in past years we would have been done by now it just wasnt meant to be. I'm now on holidays so when it looks like I wont be around for a pick I'll be emailing a list in. luckily we are near the end so no big deal.
  23. yes, slower than past years. but thats dumb luck. there actually were more cases in past years where they took more than 2 hours and we had to call/email them. this year I think more people took the full 2 hours
  24. I wanted each of the last 3 or 4 QB to go. kinda choked none of them fell to me here, but I took the Carr consolation prize. Then Dobbins. a low floor high upside RB4 for me.
