Nice pickups. Maybe that 76 OVR wasn't worth the first round pick (what's up with him? Too slow or not good enough hands?), but the rest of the class is pretty damn solid.

So no more Eli? And no more AP? Are Tom and Ben still on the game?
What made me jump at the WR in the first round was his 40 time (best of all the WRs), his cone and shuttle times and then his height (6'4"). His most impressive attributes are: 93 SPD, 91 ACC, 87 AGI, 81 CTH and 86 JMP. The attributes that are likely keeping his OVR down are: 64 CAR and 58 AWR. His AWR number should jump if he gets playing time (and he will). So, I think a couple seasons down the line and he could be an upper 80s OVR guy. I'm hoping he can become the #2WR opposite ARob since I am not that fond of Marqise Lee (too many drops) and Allen Hurns (doesn't seem to get open).
The HB in round 2 also has serious speed (93) and acceleration (92) with 94 agility. So he will be a nice change of pace from Fournette and a guy that is much more of a home run threat as opposed to TJ Yeldon. I’ll likely use him as a KR and PR too So, in rounds 1 and 2 the offense got a lot faster with two new weapons.
And I really like the SS drafted in the third round. He will be a nice replacement for Barry Church a few seasons down the line.
Yes, Tom and Ben are still around. They get released from the old folks home each Sunday for three hours so they can go play.
