Yep, I'm really good with that.

Things are looking really good! Damn great, in fact!

Things can't get much better!

Ominous foreshadowing...

One month behind but I finally got my 'all plays' film studied on about 20 RB's. Got my rankings, found my -dark horse' (or at least the guy who isn't widely considered a top prospect).
Anyone who thinks there are more than 3-5 solid NFL RB's in this draft might be a little disappointed, just saying. There's a good handful, or more, that will contribute nicely as real football players, but I'm not too sure there's more than 3-5 fantasy assets there

Bring on the NFL draft already!

Yeah feel like I'm ready for the NFL draft to see where the players land. Got my dark horses in mind. Really glad I have the picks to make this year drafts fun. Only one league (SuperFlex league) where I don't have a first and I have a nice roster in that league.

Nope missed him. I had ZERO dark horses last year, as even the normal horses didn't excite me
Well, I didn't - - but not because I thought he'd be a sleeper starter and do so well. .... I only grabbed him based on landing spot and the real fear/statistical reality that R. White would lose his job - leaving him and Tucker as primary. ...

well I had assumed since they didn't figure it out the year before that White was a schmuck, there wasn't much hope last year, not with the roster fodder i THOUGHT they had assembled behind him. They got me

I didn't have any dark horse last season, my strategy was draft a number of them and hope to get lucky.
Same strategy I'm using in Bandits this yr - - except there are some real legit guys this yr. ....

Bucky Irving gonna make my big money 1-player keeper league choice tough next year. Had a few shares as one of my common late round redraft targets but didn't push to get him in any dynasty drafts.

I've been terrible in the keeper, 1-2 to-date but been trying to stash cheap guys to free up more capital on draft day the last 2 seasons and it's been blowing up in my face gloriously thus far....

2024 Zamir White kept for $1
Shockingly wasn't even worth that $1, another one of those 'final month mirage' guys that popped for a stretch after the team gave up on the season. Thankful I backed off him in my other redraft leagues after keeping him here.

2023 Jahon Dotson kept for $1
Crushing this whole 'keep an entirely useless player' strategy. If people can remember this long ago, he flashed just enough as a rookie to look like he could be a solid WR2 type and red zone threat, and i also thought Wentz could still sling it. I was way wrong here.

2022 kept Jefferson, nailed it!

Can't wait to post about this decision in a few months only to make the wrong choice again, lol

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

Ah yes. The time of year i dread. ROOKIES

Nice to hear everyone is prepping by doing their due dilligence. Nicer to hear that rookies like Bucky Irving will slip thru.

They will. Possibly more than usual with this class. While I only see those 3-5 that SHOULD be big time contributors, no amount of film study will catch those hidden gems, if it did, guys like Bucky Irving, Terrel Davis, Arian Foster, Priest Holmes and on and on and on, would've all been drafted higher. This class could have more than a few 'Bucky Irving's", or it could have a star or two and a shit load of Will Shipley's and Kendre Miller's.

Tough to say
