If anyone has an extra better than average defense and wants to make a move, my pick in this round is available (Now that James Starks is gone).

I was going to say that I’m going to break the mold here. I’d normally draft the high upside WR, but instead I’m going to draft the high floor one. But then I realized I was just falling into my other mold - homer picks.

3.10 Andrew Hawkins, WR, CLE

And my draft is done. Hamlet is up.

After three rounds we seem to be comfortably maintaining a rate of 2 days per full round. Even the first round took exactly 2 days if you start counting when the clock officially started, 2.5 days if you start counting by the 12-hour early start we took.

Two days per round seems reasonable in terms of planning when to start a draft to get it done in time.

4.02 Isaiah Crowell (Cle-RB)

Now watch he’ll be banished to the practice squad until 1 week after I cut him.

Am I living in rose-colored-glasses world, or was there a time when teams would at least play their top backups in the last preseason game? Seems like now it’s mostly all third- and fourth-teamers.  
If anyone in this round wants to swap, I’ll offer either Chris Givens or Chris Polk and my 4th rounder next year for a 4th rounder this year.
