Rams offense that utilizes the backs well.
Perhaps. McVay doesnt throw to them as much as one may think. Of all the passes the Rams threw to the RB, TE and WR..., RB get the least amount of targets at 12%.
rather than think McVay is lying, we think he's saying Kyren is not high value
Are you suggesting a coach is exaggerating a role a player may have? Something like, "Player X will see more playing time." Or, "We have to get Player Z more involved." So specific and yet so vague.

Gave ya a C bags.

I could’ve went lower. As I’m a RB hoarder personally. But you have a plan and I respect that.

And everyone else has chimed in on anything I could’ve said to justify a lower grade anyway.

Taken with a pick I had traded in LionsBoard Dynasty draft tonight.

It stung.

Those are the worst, I had to stop doing that, when I'd look at the players I "could've had" if I just kept my picks or the ones I acquired from elsewhere... but on the flip side, a number of those picks I liked at the time didn't pan out but they're still OK talents that are clogging up someone else's roster vs mine

I try not to do it. But I do it a lot.

Was impossible to avoid for each of the first five rounds tonight.

Kinda don’t wanna even know who the two firsts ending up being that I traded for Cam Akers. Kind of thing can take the wind out your sails.

I’m sure @fightinfunbags is open to other suggestions if you think there’s someone else who might have lasted past 15 rounds to shore up his RBs.
I don’t even know that I have to do anything now. I think I play Zeke or Warren based on matchups and then watch stuff unfold.

Well there's lying about some things, and there's coachspeak.

But

Rarely, if ever, have I heard a coach say player X is going to be our punt returner, and then that player not be the punt returner.

Gonna draft my last team on Tuesday night and I’m gonna divert from this philosophy, if for no other reason than to do things differently and craft two very different kind of teams. This draft I select 4th but it’s same rules and still 12 teams.

What i meant was that Mason is more likely the RB2 in SF behind CMC, not Guerero.

Gonna use my "tired disclaimer." It was late, i was tired. I know FFB is asking for our opinions, but that late in the draft, they are just dart throws.

That's a very balanced team. Some might say your QB's are weak..Purdy and a rookie. Purdy outscored Mahommes last year and still has all his weapons. I would agree in saying Daniels is probably weak. Gonna have big weeks, also gonna have 'rookie' weeks.. start Purdy whenever possible.

Outside of that, which personally I think is a non issue, the only thing you really need to hope for is that the new regime in ATL, and Cousins, utilizes Pitts. If everything is goes as is expected, that's a solid team, top to bottom.

Repeat it in a league that matters :)

The problem is that I also looked at the team and said Damn! That’s pretty good. Then I went and looked at where guys went in my draft the other night and the only one of those picks that was still available in the other draft was Josh Jacobs. All the other players through round 12 were already off the board compared to this mock.

Again, using the "tired disclaimer" card.
I know the point youre making and it is reasonable and solid that maybe Kyren just had a phenominal year in 2023 and his story ends there.

But it isnt out of the question to use a starter. Walter Payton returned kicks. Starting DB Pacman Jones returned kicks. Tyler Lockett was real good at returns. Maybe this is the era for Kyren?

Oooh.

See, that is why I think this draft is good.

Daniels is not weak. I think he will be awesome.

And Pitts as a later TE has upside to be near the top.

Pitts certainly has that upside, always has, just never been utilized, this the, if he's utilized

I'll never trust a rookie as a fantasy QB, Purdy is all he needs, and like I said, I think it's strong, but know others who would disagree.

That's all

I dont think it is just the players that we like about this draft more... its the balance and roster structure...

again, i will admit that with only starting 2 WR and a flex, you have more leeway... there is a much larger safety net...

but here, you at least seem to have a plan for rb2 and flex...
