Discuss your amazing picks here.

With today being a holiday for most, I expect a slow day. Remote might want to pop a Xanax now.

ICEMAN was here earlier this morning... 

[Vikings4ever 550]

Headed out for a couple hours, my list, nothing especially groundbreaking:

Dalvin Cook

Derrick Henry

[shovelheadt 71]

Mike…I sent you my pick for this round. Stepping outside to do some yard work. Thanks!

[Frozenbeernuts 2,246]

Hello fellas. Today is the full last day of my vacation. We have decided to make it a do nothing and rest day. I will be eagerly refreshing every 2 minutes. That is all

[Mike FF Today 722]

I will make ICEMAN's pick at 11:00 AM Central if he's still M.I.A.

[WhiteWonder 2,729]

heading out, will have my phone on me but sent a list to Mike so he can make my pick at will. 

[Mike FF Today 722]

Wow, ICEMAN made it right before I was going to pull the trigger.

[shovelheadt 71]

Thanks Mike

[ICEMAN 44]

I apologize guys. I don't know why, but I was thinking that this was starting tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay.

I really felt I needed to go RB here and there are 3 I'm not touching.  I considered one other back here but went with Jones.  His adp is around 11 but I like what he was offers.

 

[Mr. Landry 29]

When I drew the 7th spot, I was pretty sure this would be my pick.  Although, one other player fell that gave me reason to debate.  Elliott had a down year last year, but was playing injured without most of his line or his QB...he was RB4 last year with Prescott under center.  Reports (and videos) show him with a definite spring in his step and I expect a bounce back year.  One in which he'll finish as a top 5 back (as he was prior to last year).  

And putting all that aside, he plays for the Cowboys.  What's not to like?

What’s not to like?…….He plays for the Cowgirls!

Time for the Grrrrryou to snipe my selection.

[remote controller 143]

Taylor was the other back I considered.  I think Zeke was done the day he got paid.  

[remote controller 143]

I also have to admit I am bitter as he killed me in two leagues last year, one being the June mock.

I hope I did a fine job

You did. That was my pick!! I was willing to bite on him......maybe not the first 2 games or so, but after that Barkley will be like gold. 

I took Chubb as my consolation. It's PPR so I am not overly excited about him, but BPA IMHO.

[WhiteWonder 2,729]

Barkley was going to be my pick at 5 but I took him in the June mock and wanted to switch it up

I haven't started my workload projections yet, but I have a feeling I"m going to love Chubb this year. I just didn't think I could pass on Barkley's 70-catch (plus) upside.

[Hawkeye21 2,398]

Luckily I set a reminder for myself. I was out fishing when I made my pick. Couldn’t believe I got the first overall pick since I also had it in the June mock.

My pick was an easy one to make with McCaffrey. He’s a stud runner and is amazing in the passing game. 

[worm 36]

I had the same first two picks last year, and I can't argue against trying again.  Kelce was definitely in play if he was still available, I was actually debating whether to go WR/TE or RB/TE.  It's still too early for me too wait on Davante at this spot, he could be the WR1 if everything gets smoothed out.

[robb 81]

This will be by Michael Snipe draft….I had Mixon ready to select and ol’ Ralphster Snipped him right in front of me.

Akers…could be a PPR monster, but could also injure himself. Top 3 RB at end of last season so hoping he’ll follow that trend this year. Had one other RB considering, oh well.

Mixon is on my don't touch list with Zeke and Saquon.

[The Football Guru 222]

No RB-RB in the first two rounds? What have I become?

[Mr. Landry 29]

Another "upvote" for Barkley.  He was the one that fell that made me debate.  I don't like the fact that he's coming off an ACL tear, I think the Giants O-line is one of the worst in the league,  they've upgraded their receiving core and he plays for the Giants.  Those facts swung me toward Elliott.

Mixon helped kill my high-stakes team last year, so I have a personal grudge against him.   But he was a top ten back until he got hurt last year.  With Bernard elsewhere, I think he can easily replicate that...assuming he doesn't get hurt.  I like the pick.

 

[The Football Guru 222]

Davante Adams went to worm at 1.12, FBN.

[Mr. Landry 29]

Adams went 1.12...

Try again...

[remote controller 143]

I had Diggs, Hopkins, Jefferson on my list.  Hopkins and Jefferson pretty tight.  He will have more receptions so I am okay.

[Mike FF Today 722]

Ridley at 2.08 seems like stealing.

Agree!

[remote controller 143]

Until he misses 1/3 of the season,and no Julio on the other side

[robb 81]

Metcalf a minor steal at 2.08

[Vikings4ever 550]

Was hoping Ridley or Metcalf would fall to me, but I'll risk Brown. I think he closes out a tier. And there are still enough RBs out there I like to see what falls to me in the third.

[Hawkeye21 2,398]

I got my stud RB in the first so I figured I needed to lock up two good WRs, especially with it being PPR.  I might have gone with RB but I didn't see one I liked and I know there won't be much for WR1 the next time my pick comes around.

[Frozenbeernuts 2,246]

Hopefully Diggs can equal last years production. There are a lot of receivers to choose from at that point

[shovelheadt 71]

I’m here. Give me 15 min to catch up

[Vikings4ever 550]

Decent RB2s likely will dry up before my my next pick. PPR especially, Gibson's got nice upside.
