The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.
Powell in the 8th seems like a steal.

At least based on this draft I would have been much better off picking a fourth WR instead of Carlos Hyde. It seems like the middle rounds are choked with viable running backs.

I dig the Garçon/Rishard Matthews picks. Really underrated players at their current ADPs. Could even rise a round or two before real drafts start and still be worth it.

I understand your argument regarding best ball. But the problem is it's still way too early and there was better value.

I don't actually like Randy Cobb. He sometimes is good though and so he's my WR4.

9.07 Blount

Well I drafted him like 80 spots above his ADP, but I think today's news validates that. He should have most/all the early down and goal line work in PHI with little to no competition. He probably won't be what he was with the Pats, but he should still be an RB2.

I need a starter, he's the highest rated TE left, and none of the other players around now particularly interest me. It's probably the most milquetoast pick available, and I'm not at all excited by it, but it's good to get a starter taken care of.

Doug Martin was incredible value, even with the suspension. There is no real competition he's facing on that roster.

John Brown is also underrated in my opinion. He's really good and his season was derailed by health issues out of his control last year. But there is no way he would've fallen this far in last year's draft and I think he's poised to make the leap we all expected him to make last year.

Martin was near the top of my next pick list, yeah. I think he has three more games to sit out, but pocket hamster is gonna be fine after that I assume. I also had some hope for Gore falling to me. He's hella old, but old man Gore just keeps chugging.

Gore is a guy I will keep drafting regardless of age until he proves me wrong. I just missed him.

Man i had Martin ready to be picked and in swoops Sataere.


Though i'm not too mad about grabbing Woodhead, he's getting pretty old and coming off a major injury, but with Dixon's suspension, i'm thinking Woodhead will dominated 3rd down work and a good chunk of redzone work. Solid pick in best ball i think.

I had him ready in the previous two rounds, but Benjamin falling was too good and I got scared I'd lose a quarterback and took Mariota.

Honestly, I am loving my draft. I can't wait until week four when half my roster is on IR and someone quotes this.

Also, how did Shepherd drop so far. I'm not as high on him as some, but his ADP is way too low. I considered him over Brown, but I had to go with my gut.

Probably the addition of Brandon Marshall causing it.

I understand the reason. I am saying that the drop is too big. He's a second year player who had a solid rookie year and should be seeing some great match ups. He is seriously undervalued.

Also the feeling that Eli won't make it to week 4 before he gets destroyed behind that line.

I had him on my list but ultimately decided on Wallace due to the signing of BMarsh and that really iffy O-line and the absence of SSJ in baltimore.

9.10 Samaje Perine
https://twitter.com/ScottBarrettDFB/status/864608552085835776
I don't put any stock in Rob Kelley's status as the incumbent. He's a former UDFA they got lucky with but nothing more than an average talent really. They seem pretty high on Perine right away so I believe the starting job will be his easily. Which should translate to some nice volume on an above-average offense.

10.03 Frank Gore
Old man Gore keeps trucking along. The Colts drafted Marlon Mack to add a homerun element to their backfield which will hurt Gore's volume some but I'll never doubt Gore until he actually retires. Should still offer a solid floor week-to-week.

Victims of the uncertainty surrounding the lesser RB talent, I think both will see their ADPs rise quite a bit before real drafts.

Perine was going to be my guy this round. In retrospect gently caress TEs I should have grabbed Perine or Martin. Oh well.

EDIT: And Mike Wallace as well. Man I really hosed that pick.

Yea i'm a bit glad Wallace was still there, last seasons WR25 as my 5th WR? sure why not, my WR core is pretty much all stocked out honestly, just need 2-3 more high upside picks. I don't have any legit top 5 WR's in terms of fantasy, but i do have a bunch that all have good chances of finishing top 20. Now my RB core is p iffy haha.

I disagree, but not strongly. I think there's at least a chance Rob Kelley keeps his job, or at worst, slips to #2 and still gets regular usage. Maybe Perine will blow everyone away, but... yeah, most guys turn out not to be Ezekiel Elliot.

Meanwhile, Kelley averaged 4.2 YPC last year, his rookie season... that's better than just an "average talent" in my book. And a fourth round RB is insurance, not selling the farm for a guaranteed starter.

All that said: I had Gore, Martin, and Powell all higher on my list for my next RB pick, and I'm not as sure of Kelley as I'd like to be. But he's my RB3 behind Lamar Miller and Latavius Murray, so if I get even just like two or three good games this year out of him, that's fine.
