Hence why he is a target of mine in the early 3rd (or late 2nd if needed). I just dont personally have him ranked that high overall... yet. But I am just in the beginning of my prep. If i were in your draft spot I would either have to take him there or not have him because he wont last past mid 3rd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,577 Posted June 11, 2024 1 hour ago, Fumbleweed said: I didn’t think it was a strange pick at all. I considered him at 2.02. London’s inconsistency due to subpar QB play is no different than what Garrett Wilson has experienced to date. possibly. It's certainly a similar situation... you're probably right. Even though Wilson has put up much better numbers with bad QB play (back to back thousand yard seasons and more receptions), he has also been peppered with many more targets due to scheme. And admittedly I was drafting Wilson as early as that in 2023. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remote controller 143 Posted June 11, 2024 Had to go Evans here. His redzone usage (13 TD's) and 2nd season with his QB made him the easy choice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robb 78 Posted June 11, 2024 Hawkeye: powerful picks here at the turn. I think these are the picks that win you the June Mock. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 2,272 Posted June 11, 2024 I got my RB1 with McCaffrey so figured I could wait on RB2. Decided to snag two WR1s on the turn. Pretty happy with my start so far. I have no idea what to expect for my next pick though. Hate having to wait that long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
remote controller 143 Posted June 11, 2024 Again, it boils down to redzone usage. 7 TD's via the air and 5 TD's on the ground, with 1125 total yards, missing 2 games. Fortunate he made it to me here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 4,025 Posted June 11, 2024 I was really torn by this pick at this place, and in a "normal" format I would likely have sought to trade out of the spot..... But in terms of the scoring system, it is likely that Allen is the most profitably pick at this time. And I hate....hate...hate....drafting a QB early.

Vikings4ever 538 Posted June 11, 2024 Really was curious where Harrison would go. The "don't draft a WR before their third year" rule is certainly a thing of the past, but I admit I'm hesitant to use a high pick on a rookie receiver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "don't draft a WR before their third year" rule is certainly a thing of the past, but I admit I'm hesitant to use a high pick on a rookie receiver. Love the pick. He's going to be a target monster. If Murray can just get him the ball, I look for top 8-10 production at the position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

worm 36 Posted June 11, 2024 I fully expected a big WR run, but all of them were in the same range for me so I let you guys sort it out for me. MHJ probably would have been the pick if he made it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,577 Posted June 11, 2024 I consider shying away from rookie WR's a clear thing of the past, especially when drafted into a situation with a competent QB. JJ, Chase and Puka have made this clear. Even my boy Garrett, with terrible QB play. I will bank on the volume and red zone targets that should be there. DK was also considered but ultimately, I feel like MHJ has the higher ceiling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumbleweed 495 Posted June 11, 2024 So, Shovel went RB-RB-RB...this is much like Wonder's strategy last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikings4ever 538 Posted June 11, 2024 Went back and forth between Jacobs and a WR. Kinda surprised to see myself with 2 RBs in the first three rounds, but with the way the draft fell, I'm comfortable with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robb 78 Posted June 11, 2024 Taking a chance on Achane, could be “boom or bust”, but at 3.09 I love his value here! In all honestly, and this is not a slam, I like his value better than some earlier RB picks. Mosteret is still there….but he is getting older by the year. Just my 2 cents. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe last years approach of RB heavy and then failing to hit on any of my later receiver picks had some influence this time around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your decision made mine a little easier. There were still a couple of WRs that I liked (a lot, honestly), but Achane and White intrigued me the most with their upside. I love this pick. Miami is a dynamic offense, and the kid is just going to get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
