It appears @Justin_Bailey understands the value of his players and will not allow me to take shameless advantage of him. So Zay Flowers is my pick.
@Jules_Andre is back on the clock.
I am not questioning the pick at all, but its not like he was a prolific runner in college.
Welp, you got your revenge. Flowers was who I was hoping for with this pick. It’s funny, I checked your roster and was sure you wouldn’t take a QB at 8, so I almost got cute and took Flowers at 7. But QB was the more pressing need. And then you posted the above quote, so surely you would go QB at 8 and I would get Flowers! But nay.
I have a couple options in the mix, but I’ll have a decision within a couple hours. Before midnight PT, surely
Drafting at the back of the first is always a bummer, there’s usually a fall off around 6-8 somewhere.
We don’t have to post the full list every time but I was reflecting the trades

2024 picks:
Retro gives Omni his 2nd round 2024 pick
Omni gives retro his last round 2024 pick
I may have a deal going through for this pick, just waiting for final confirmation. So it might be a bit after Midnight PT
Trade to announce:
Omni receives 1.09 and Jules’ 2024 1st round pick
Jules receives Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Omni’s 2nd to last 2024 pick.
With pick 1.09 Ides of Martz selects Jonathan Mingo
Looks like @Hamlet is up with 1.10.
I feel like trading Waddle for two firsts and then trading two firsts for JSN is a very funny way to mismanage a draft, but it’s very Haruspex kind of move
I’m going to have to cut 19 players next year. So I’ll probably not even bother with the waiver wire this season.
You called your team a dumpster fire, but good on you for swinging a couple trades and securing an extra first and second for next year. Pretty solid rebuild in progress, I’m impressed
I dont need a QB. I was willing to gamble on Richardson"s upside to have massive young talent at QB.
I just realuzed that makes me like Jim Irsay. Now I need a shower
And with that we have caught up to our pace from last year. I don’t remember whether or not we were behind last year at this time, but we’re not worse off anymore. Well, except that we have 53 picks to get through compared to 49 last year, but still.
I took the liberty of swapping ownership of 1.03 and 1.09 in this list to keep things simple.

@SenorBeef is up.
Looks like the hurricane has missed me, but there are random tornadoes around so I might still lose power. Who should I pm with my contingency picks?
Hopefully you stay safe! Beef would be the one to send those to, just in case
I normally would but he picks before me.
That’s a reasonable concern, but I’m absolutely sure if you label the pm as contingency picks, he won’t open it or look at it. He has definitely proven his integrity time and time again
You can also PM them to me. I dont pick again for awhile and I’ll be able to keep up with the thread today.
I completely trust Beef. I’m more concerned that he’d be the one who is most uncomfortable having the info.
You can also trade me your 2.01 and avoid the situation entirely. The Triple H market is always open
Beef is the only one in this knot of snakes I do trust.
