So you're not concerned about Miami going after Taylor? Explain please.

Not really

If they do, it is an easy drop.

The IttyBittySmittyCommitty 2023

12th spot

Pollard
Ettiene
Higgins
Jonathon Taylor
Christian Watson
Mike Williams
Antonio Gibson
Michael Pittman
Pat Friermuth
Jerry Judy
Spears
Jake Moody
Jacksonville
Russell Wilson

Went in assuming I’d be in a position to grab elite receivers early at the first turn, then load up on running backs. Went the other way.

Feel I reached for Ettiene, but I’m okay with it.

Friermuth was the last of my starting TE targets. So I went TE earlier than I might have assumed. Even though I think I was second to last in taking a TE.

Feel good about Pittman as my 4th receiver.

Was prepared to take a QB about 4 times, but each of those times my target was gone by the time I was OTC. Never have waited to the last round for a QB. Never intentionally went with streaming the position either. So this will be a new experience for me.

A lot riding on Taylor actually playing. And a little on Judy coming back sooner rather than later. Actually pumped to have Jake Moody. Monster leg on a team with a buttload of offensive talent. Felt he was one of the best picks in the draft back in the spring.

Yeah Team 10 (@Robotech) needs to accept a trade involving a kicker. There was an issue mid-draft

6 slot sluts - me and @obxyankeefan

Monkey - - - OBX
QB Hurts - - - T Law
RB1 Bijan - - - Jon Taylor
R2 M Sanders - - - J Gibbs
WR1 AJB - - - Chase
WR2 Coop - - - Coop
TE Ferguson - - - Pitts
Flex J Cook - - - T McLaurin
Kick J Meyers - - - H Butker
DST Seattle - - - Jets

Bench
K Herbert - - - B Rob Jr.
S Perine - - - Jeudy
K Gainwell - - - Jakobi Meyers
B Cooks - - - Odell Beckham
J Dotson - - - Cole Kmet

Going to be biased and say I like my team a lot more than OBX's, mostly due to this being a standard scoring league where I stocked up RB depth and he took WR depth to fill out his bench.
He really needs the Taylor situation to come to a favorable conclusion or Gibbs to be a lot better in standard scoring than I think he'll be for RB not to be a major issue.

For me, it’s pretty close. I don’t lean one way or the other. I love TLaw this year. The biggest question mark for OBX is can Taylor find a team and where? To an extent, this is concerning but still 10 days till kickoff. He has all the potential of outscoring Bijan or pushing. Other than that, I don’t see any clear advantage either way. That’s just me.

 

[Shanemansj13]

if Hurts and AJB replicate last year, Monkey will have the better team. Sanders over Gibbs for now. Another big question, what will Pitts be with Ridder? Literally no clue.

I agree that having RBs on your bench is an advantage in a standard scoring league. Standard scoring leagues are rare nowadays as the vast majority are PPR or half PPR. People forget that RBs are king in standard scoring. OBX has 3 players with high ceilings potential in Taylor, Gibbs and Pitt but the floor is potentially much lower also. Also Jeudy is out for several weeks, so that's not good.
I give Monkey the edge in this matchup.

Pitts has teased some major potential, I have a dynasty team that is really hoping he breaks out and establishes himself as one of those guys that is a stud for 6+ seasons like Gonzo, Gates, Graham etc. I was hoping for a career ascension into Kelce/Gronk territory but I'll settle for him just seeing consistent usage at this point under Arthur Smith.

 

[obxyankeefan]

I had to go to sleep and missed the bench part of the draft. If not for that I would have atleast 1 more RB if not 2. It will be remedied before the start of the season.

The Jets, Butker, Meyers, ODB, and KMet were all auto drafted.

If Taylor plays, I like my team better. If Taylor doesn't play I will have some work to do to stay out of the bottom.

Yeah I have him in a dynasty as well. Was hoping they would tank and draft Young or Stroud. I am hoping Ridder is decent bc I have both Pitts and London in a dynasty. Just hoping for some consistency as well.

I was going to ask if some of those picks were auto-drafted (Odell and Kmet stuck out in particular) but I didn't want to make the assumption in case you really liked those guys. Both could easily be great in the red zone for their teams this season, but didn't fit your roster build imo

Pitts is an enigma.

For whatever reason he hasn't been much of a red-zone target, and the HC and OC are still the same. Seems Mariota was bad for him, and we haven't seen him play with Ridder yet. This may be a grind-it-out team with Pitts doing some chain-moving work. I would have taken him if he fell to me that round. Upside is definitely there.

I think it is a simple case of Pitts not being the first option on an ultra run heavy team.

Can’t be worse than last year, but I also wouldn’t expect a major breakout.

@SteelersPride - I was debating for a while this morning on whether or not to drop Perine or Dotson to stash Goff
