Or less if you want to designate it to me. It would also give him some credit for the team in the OP. Do you trust the guy to not make decisions without clearing it with you?

RuskieTitan Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 1 hour ago, TL-TwoWinsAway said: Definitely. So, in closing: I think it's a great pick, and criticizing the selection because his S22 production might be a tad underwhelming (as a #2 RB) is short-sighted. (And I think I'm just mad that you built this thing up, just to draft Harris. I was hoping to see a coach or something.) Depends on your roster. A rebuilding team makes sense to try and gamble on a player that won't have good/great production for potentially 3 sim seasons, and keeping them around to see if they pay off. A team competing to win doesn't make sense because if a rookie doesn't live up to his draft status / hype, then not only do you not have much impact from your high draft pick, but you also probably have better players to spend tags to keep instead of hoping that maybe he rights the ship in year 2. Even the most prolific rookies can have seasons derailed due to injury and suddenly it's a sunk cost, rather than draft a veteran that can perform now and potentially improve as well. Everyone's got a different philosophy and approach to the draft though, which is what makes this so fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's got a different philosophy and approach to the draft though, which is what makes this so fun. Yeah, absolutely. I guess, from what I've seen, RBs tend not to take 3 sim seasons to make an impact. If Harris goes off during the 2021 NFL season - which I expect he will - his S23 sim stats should be significantly improved over the S22 sim stats. (I think that a WR like Chase could/will likely show the same boost.) It's why I think high-impact, high-ceiling rookies make sense as first round picks. I do love how there's no real "right answer" to all of this. I like how there's no (known) ratings. Value fluctuates from one owner to the next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL-TwoWinsAway Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I also think that owners should be required to provide Nacho with their cell phone numbers and an emergency point of contact. (Heck, blood type too.) Because... picks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
