The one-trade rule and the lack of anything in the third round made this interesting. Had to resist the urge for an early trade, and waited a few rounds to stock up, since most of the needs could be met down-draft. And when you get Daniels at 11 without a trade, you take him.
That is gunna be real tough to beat. Daniels falling is huge. I dont believe he gets out the top 4. He definitely won't get passed the giants. And I expect the broncos or the raiders to jump over the vikings if he gets to 4/5.
But getting Daniels, Latu (an absolute stud if those medicals work out) and the best lb in the draft with trotter... That's 🔥
Carter and mustapha, where you got them was great value. But it is lacking the iOL that needs addressing (hello free agency!)
Getting Allen aswell was very very helpful.
Great draft, looking forward to seeing the rest of the submissions.

It's clearly better than mine, but I wanted to make sure to get one of the elite QB's.

Thanks. I actually saw some mocks showing the Vikes trading up to 5 to get Daniels, which is probably more likely than my result.
And yeah, just never had a great iOL option at any of my picks (or a better choice than any of the other picks).

I've done so many drafts now (I'm such a draft nerd) I've had the board break on me where I've been able to really pack out the trenches but never fill any other hole and I've had it break where I've been able to get everything but the trenches. But you're draft seems to hit in a lot of ways.
Both you and GR have done great work with what is fundamentally a tough position, yes we've got 2 1sts but then nothing until the 4th. That's a very long wait with a lot of holes to fill.

Daniels is 11?
He will be top 10
reply
Going to be tough to beat the two first round picks you got here. Impressive.
reply
Yeah. Of course, this involved the Jets -- who do not have a viable quarterback for beyond this season -- passing on Daniels (all due respect to Fuaga). Which sadly is on-brand.

This will not happen
I will bet any amount of money

JJ McCarthy went #1 in this draft? Wow AI has a ways to go. I like JJ more than most but there is no way he is going in the top 3.
reply
Yeah that's insane lol. They say AI will replace humans and we'll lose our jobs... But if that's AI... I'm feeling pretty secure about my employment 🤣
reply
Seriously. I wonder if these drafts are informed by the folks playing with them, so if a bunch of people experiment with Daniels dropping or McCarthy going higher than expected, it influences future samples.
reply
I don't think they are that intuitive yet but that would be interesting it they were learning from random fans fooling around.

Or boredom
