WhiteWonder 2,716 Posted Wednesday at 09:45 PM Well, I had 2 WR's in mind for the 6/7 turn. One of them was Calvin Ridley who played better last year once the other WR in town was gone. He also gets a theoretical QB upgrade this season and was a 1000/8 (WR 17) in 2023 with average QB play. then.... I scrapped my original plan and decided to swing for the fences with Travis Hunter. Admittedly, this is not a pick I would probably make in a PPR format, but Jacksonville lost a lot of passing game weapons and I don't need Hunter to catch 80 balls. Just be used creatively and score touchdowns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumbleweed 539 Posted Thursday at 12:13 AM Certainly, Hunter is one of the most intriguing possibilities with respect to this draft and every draft this summer. I think taking him here makes sense, particularly with this being non-PPR, like you said. I am curious if anyone else had considered picking him sooner than this.

Was not.....and never will be for me, just my opinion. I see where Jac could slowly turn him just into a CB with minimal offensive snaps. Certainly I could be wrong, I just wouldn't want to take on the risk, glad some will tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,716 Posted Thursday at 02:40 AM I guess my hope is that, with the weapons they lost… and with the decline of some others, there isn’t much behind Thomas. If they make him a mostly full time offensive player with a handful of defensive packages and find creative ways to get the ball in his hands, he has game changing athleticism. 8-10 TDs does not seem impossible.

WhiteWonder 2,716 Posted Thursday at 03:18 PM Nice pick Dan. Godwin was my original choice for my Wr/Wr turn before i decided to go the Hunter route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikings4ever 548 Posted Thursday at 03:20 PM I've already got my starting WRs, but I was going to be hard pressed to pass up Godwin if he fell another couple picks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikings4ever 548 Posted Thursday at 03:28 PM Andrews started off slowly last year. Let's see if he can bounce back. One of the last TEs that has a decent chance to be a difference maker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 4,187 Posted Thursday at 04:04 PM Was hoping to snag Godwin as another dropping value proposition, but alas...sniped! I think Tracy is currently being undervalued, thought not without good reason. My main concern for him this year will be someone else on that team sniping his goal line opportunities. Regarding, Jonnu....just felt that if I waited to the next turn the drop in value was dramatic enough to justify grabbing the best available this time around.

Vikings4ever 548 Posted Thursday at 04:05 PM Considered Jonnu, but he's holding out, he could be traded, there's just way too much uncertainty there IMHO. Even if he does stay, there's no guarantee he can repeat if Waddle and Hill stay healthy. Happy with Goff as my QB. Doesn't have the rushing ability others do, but he's a perfect fit for that offense, with lots of weapons around him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fumbleweed 539 Posted Thursday at 05:28 PM Really wanted Jaylen Warren here, but Robb beat me to that. Like Odunze to make a big step forward in his sophomore season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was on my list for my next pick. But he fell off hard last half of the year, and GB just seems like a situation where it'd be better to gamble on the third WR late than take the first one early.
