Side note How do you see Martin and Josiah contributing going forward? Need to decide if I should keep them in a dynasty league 

Deguera was probably the pick I was least impressed with when he was drafted, but he looked really good in the few games before he got injured. Way too little of a sample size to really be able to say, but he -could-be a gem in his role and seems especially well suited to the Shanahan-ish system MLF has brought in. I'm oddly interested to see if he can be a 20 carry a season guy on top of the blocking and receiving because that could add immensely to the unpredictability that the system thrives on. I don't think he'd be quite as impactful on most teams as he can be in GB, mind. 

Martin has all the tools to be a real star in the league, not quite Warner or Leonard level, but the kind of guy who might squeak into the all pro team once or twice in his career and just be a notch below otherwise. Thing is if he can stay on the field long enough to develop, and how he fits into a 4-3... if those don't come through he might never cement himself as an nfl starter. 

Also going to point to Krys Barnes who came in as a UDFA and was wearing the headset by year end. His ceiling isn't as high as Martin's, but he looks like the type that could be a good starting ILB for a long while and I think is probably the more likely of the two to be starting for years to come (ideally though they both will be). Very smart and consistent kind of guy who will likely quietly finish with over 1,000 career tackles. 

I would have absolutely no qualms with taking another LB on the top 3 rounds though, especially depending on how we shuffle around the DL as well as Zadarius and Preston Smith. That, and bolstering both lines would be my top priorities personally (CB not far behind either if the right guy falls).

Considering how quiet the RB market has been since FA opened, Aaron Jones may have made the right call jumping in Green Bay's offer. People mention Miami, but Flores already said not to expect any moves from them on Day 1 and they since haven't pursued the market's other top backs. 

Also, Pack fans still justifying that 2020 draft huh? Die on that hill I guess.
