Would have lived Burden or Higgins here, but I need RB depth first.

I need to do bedtime with the kiddo and then noodle on a trade offer. May be a couple hours before my pick is in, sorry folks.

This is the right pick. I briefly considered your trade proposal to pick up Loveland here, but I like TreVeyon just a bit more.

Nice timing. I was in the process of correcting the team abbreviations to be proper case (eg: Buf instead of BUF) and about to repost the list, but then when I opened the thread to post it here was your pick. Serendipity.

Probably. Certainly in the running, at least.

The biggest one I recall is when I traded CMC to Jules for Saquon+Mixon back in 2021. We included a few extra players and draft picks in the deal.

Well, the guy I had slotted in for this pick that I’m very happy to take is still there. That’s a nice feeling.

A better feeling though is that “Holy Shit, he’s still there! I never imagined he’d still be available for that pick. Let’s Go!” feeling.

**2.02 Tyler Warren, TE, Indy**

@SenorBeef is on the clock

Updated picks list. For the trade, I swapped “pickers.” So it now shows Jules as having taken Jeanty at 1.01 and Omni as having taken Judkins at 1.08. I added a note to the end for future reference.

(5 years from now if we go looking back, we might be wondering how Jules had the #1 overall pick. He didn’t.)

1.01 Jules - Ashton Jeanty, RB, LV  
1.02 Hamlet - Omarion Hampton, RB, LAC  
1.03 Justin - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, NE  
1.04 RNATB - RJ Harvey, RB, Den

1.10 Jules - Matthew Golden, WR, GB  
1.11 Beef - Colston Loveland, TE, Chi  
1.12 Retro - Kaleb Johnson, RB, Pit

2.01 Omni - Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jax  
2.02 Hamlet - Tyler Warren, TE, Ind

Just to avoid confusion it may be clearer to say:

Justin’s 1st round pick goes to Omni via Jules  
Jules’ 1st round pick goes to Omni.

In previous years I think we just used “from” in parentheses.

1.01 Jules - Ashton Jeanty, RB, LV (from Omni)  
1.02 Hamlet - Omarion Hampton, RB, LAC  
1.03 Justin - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, NE

BTW, there’s a non-trivial possibility that I could end up with the top 3 picks next year.

My team will almost certainly be terrible again. Justin finished 3rd worst last year, and while he’s made strong moves, that result could repeat. Jules is obviously performing a massive reboot with a ton of rookies who may or may not pan out immediately.

I’d go as far as saying it will be a substantial suprise if at least 2 of those picks aren’t in the top 5.
