2023- Soul 12 Draft Comment Thread

[Draft Crazy]

I see your point, I guess as well that Michigan's Charmin soft schedule, especially early in the year should definitely allow them to go easy on Corum and give Edwards more looks. I'm just always bullish on rotational backs, especially when they have a guy like Corum in front of them who is going to vulture a lot of the TDs

Your concern is 100% valid as we all know had it not been for Corum, Edwards would have been a lot higher or even more then likely OB's keeper this year. You have that risk with Corum there that he doesn't end up a weekly starter. I remember once I had success starting both James Davis and CJ SPiller at Clemson. Usually one had a good game and one didn't or both had an average game and it translated into one nice game. Not ideal but i can work. I think the difference this year is that Edwards will get more PT then he did last year. I think he will be more like Devon Achane his SOPH year where you could have started him most weeks. Problem was he would have a really good week or a really poor week fantasy wise an sometimes you either have to start him every week to make sure you get the great weeks or not start him at all because it becomes annoying then you miss his really good weeks but save his bad weeks. It is a bit of a headache but I think you will see more of an "average" to "good start for him this year then "bad" to "great" start.

Yea the likely inconsistency is the biggest problem for me. Especially with Michigan's weak schedule, that could benefit Edwards but also hurt him if they are clobbering teams at half/earlier in the 3rd and decide to park Corum AND Edwards most of the 2nd half to save them up for the tougher games later in the season.

Looking at last year Edwards was wildly inconsistent while Corum was still totting the #1 role. 520! of his 991 rushing yards came in the final 3 games when Corum was disabled. He only had 471 rushing yards (about 59 YPG) in the 8 games he played when Corum was still the bell cow.

Barion Brown was a guy I really wanted to draft this year after watching him late last year. Wasn't sure where to take him. I thought maybe I could sneak him a little bit later but with all the WR's flying off the board I thought I better get my guy that I really wanted here. I think he is has a very high ceiling and is in an offense which should feature him pretty well as the go to guy. Not a lot of mouths to feed.

Q isn't speaking enough in this thread. What is up with that? I feel like he isn't even part of this draft.

I'm in intense focus after blowing it last year and 3 years before that.

Never again.

 

[The Q]

Banks might be my favorite pick in the draft

I thought he would've been a reasonable pick starting in round 2 with RS.
