Checking in on my NFL Draft predictions.
So far I’m doing okay on my QB projections. Obviously too early to draw any solid conclusions, but I was mostly right about Richardson and Young. I seem to have undersold Stroud a bit. Levis hasn’t gotten any real time which is weird considering who is playing ahead of him. Let’s be generous and call that an incomplete.
The Bears in fact did not take a Tackle at #9. Thankfully we did stay away from Johnson.
Zay Flowers is the best WR in the class, I don’t think this is even a debate, though I guess Puka has to get a mention. The Illini are killing it. I may need to chalk that Bijan take up as a loss, though based solely on his usage that projection is still probably technically accurate. The Dope loves nothing more than being technically accurate.
Anderson is a worthy 1st round Edge, but maybe not worth trading up to #3 for. There’s still time. Tillman so far is a nothing (to the chagrin of my Dyansty team). Van Ness remains super confusing. Mayer slid all the way to the top of 2nd which was unexpected, however LaPorta taken just ahead of him is clearly the class of the class.
Johnson was overdrafted and Rice is the guy you probably want, certainly in Fantasy. Charbonnet is not showing much production, but he also doesn’t look like a total bust when on the field, so I’m prepared to take the L on this one. 5 WRs and 4 TE drafted in the first 45 picks, it was a long shot but still, this was a predictably terrible WR class. Our guy Yaya remains a delight.
