New Mid-round Mock Draft in Yahoo

[AxeElf]

@edmcgon

Did I do that?

Yes, in your “New Mock Draft in Yahoo” draft:

@edmcgon

1. • Davante Adams (LV - WR): Sadly, Najee Harris was taken with the 9th pick, so I decided to go WR. With Kupp and JJ both gone, I went the safe route with Adams.
2. • CeeDee Lamb (Dal - WR): No RB’s I really wanted in this range, but CeeDee is too good to pass up here.
3. • Kyle Pitts (Atl - TE): Still no RB’s I like here, so I pivoted to the TE I think has potential to be TE1 overall.
4. • Travis Etienne Jr. (Jax - RB): Not my first choice for RB1 on my roster, but he does come with high upside potential.
5. • Jalen Hurts (Phi - QB): Got the QB I wanted this time, at a good price.
6. • Kenneth Walker III (Sea - RB): Love Walker’s potential in an RB2 spot. Even if Penny starts the year as Seattle’s starter, how long before he gets hurt?
7. • Dameon Pierce (Hou - RB): Had to get another RB with potential for touches. Pierce has a clear path to being Houston’s RB1.
8. • James Robinson (Jax - RB): If Robinson ends up being the RB1 in JAX, I need to handcuff ETN.
9. • Chase Claypool (Pit - WR): A mid-round WR with WR1 upside. I expect a lot of td’s from Chase.
10. • Tyler Allgeier (Atl - RB): Another RB dart throw to support my late drafting of RB’s.
11. • Drake London (Atl - WR): The alpha WR in Atlanta. Who else can Mariota throw to? There are only so many balls Kyle Pitts can catch, and the rest of their WR’s are garbage.
12. • Jameis Winston (NO - QB): QB1 potential at a bargain basement price.
13. • Garrett Wilson (NYJ - WR): Not sure if Wilson will be the alpha in NY, but he has that potential.
14. • Nick Folk (NE - K): Solid kicker on a decent team with a good QB, but no real td threats in the WR room.
15. • Las Vegas (LV - DEF): A homer pick, admittedly, although they were the best choice with the 10th pick in the last round.

You literally don’t have a single starting RB on your team. Maybe at least Etienne has a guaranteed role–but none of the other 3 rookies are locked in for anything. Pierce is essentially tied with the other backups for your RB2 at the time you drafted him.

It sounds like you’re awfully sure that Kenny Walker will be ahead of Pierce in fantasy production, so let’s say that’s true–you still drafted Kenny Walker to be your RB2!

Forget your RB4; if this were a real league, you’d be struggling to field 2 viable backs each week. Your only hope is for Etienne to blow up and provide enough points to salvage the corps.

EDIT: Ok, I did forget about Robinson. At least you can start : cough : both Jaguars’ RBs : cough : if you have to.
