@Ludy51 otc with his first pick of the draft

 

[Truth]

Smith and Hyatt I feel like could make it into the 1st round. Good picks.

 

[Rusfan]

Apologies for the delay, class was going on.

Atlanta is up!

No sweat, you didn't take that long. And Good pick in Downs as well.

 

[DaCiderEarl]

I feel that my 2 top guys will be taken right before me.

Thanks, I knew going in I wanted to grab a WR early for Lamar, and I think Landry would be a good player to mentor Downs in using his shiftiness at the league level

@Cowboysfan1 you do know that you're officially up with GB, right? I know no one tagged since the trade happened but just wanted to confirm.

@RavensMania is up (cc: @Truth because I don't remember when you were taking over his board)

So relieved to get Schmitz here. I would've considered him at 28 had I not moved up. His Senior Bowl 1v1 tapes immediately put him near the top of my interior OL list, which was good to see considering that he wasn't always consistent in pass protection. He might be my favorite center in this class so far, at least out of everyone I've seen.

how the fuck does Zeke get traded for a 5th and only count 1 star. smh

Lol I posted my trade block when I took over the Raiders. Even shopped him around hoping to get a bite and only the Saints were interested.

I do have Miles Sanders available (2 stars)

I feel like Elliott has legitimately slowed in the past few years, so it's hard to expect solid compensation for him. That being said, he clearly still has a role in this league and is probably an ideal candidate for Alvin Kamara's abilities.

and a great get at that price.

Think it came down to multiple things for Zeke... Raiders had like 20,000 RBs, I wasn't willing to give up much because he has slowed down, but still thought he was a good RB2/Kamara suspension insurance. Perfect storm here.

@DaCiderEarl is up. Said he'd send his board but guessing he knocked out for the night so probably on hold until the early morning here stateside.

After him:
@JO_75
@All_black_everything
@DaCiderEarl again
@paRAYdise
@52520Andrew

 

[All_black_everything]

You both are exactly right, the Raiders having an abundance of backs absolutely played a role and I don’t believe many people think highly of Elliot at this point of his career. However if he was my #2 back I would have probably kept him. Just so happened to be my #4

 

[All_black_everything]

@JO_75 on the clock

Yep, totally my bad, I was hoping the pick before me gets made and then boom, fell into a coma and missed it.

It was a back and forth between Schmitz and Gibbs for me. With Schmitz taken I had to take Gibbs. He was my BPA and adds another weapon for Mac. He adds speed and quickness to complement Stevenson and Harris and his pass catching ability will let the Billy Boys use him in a variety of roles. Also I think he could be a quite dangerous return man, especially on Kick Offs (With Marcus Jones handling Punts).

@JO_75 gets skipped in a little under 2 hours and then @All_black_everything would be up
