Post Draft Self Analysis
Since we don't have Kirk doing an analysis
I like my team, overall. At the same time I am not in love with it. Starting WR/WR gave me a very nice duo but top to bottom, I don't feel like my WR group is special. Likely because I quickly pivoted to a RB/RB combo in rounds 3 and 4. Pleased with Gibbs and Etienne but considering we still need to see Gibbs actually do his thing, James Cook feels like a less than ideal RB3 with McKinnon and Edwards being more best ball specialists, imo. I was able to get my preferred QB, but TE value didn't fall to me like it did in June. I'm not very high on Friermuth at all. I may actually be higher on Juwan Johnson with Derek Carr in town.
End of the day, I think I put together a very balanced team... opposite of my June Mock experiment... but may be lacking in studs outside of Diggs and Wilson. A lot will depend on how Detroit utilizes the weapon they have in Gibbs and if Etienne and Lawrence continue to take the next step, which I obviously believe they will.
If I were setting a lineup for week 1 it would look like
QB - Lawrence
RB - Gibbs
RB - Etienne
WR - Diggs
WR - Wilson
WR - Thomas
FLX - Aiyuk (Cook)
TE - Johnson (Friermuth)
DST - Jets
Cook could flex into Aiyuks spot (I think a healthy Thomas will be better) and Friermuth could easily be the TE.
good job everyone and good luck this year!
