I started watching RBs earlier, and there were some good ones out there. I did think we may look at one, but with Jones back through 24, we probably don't need one this year. Dillon is a FA next offseason, but it isn't like the learning curve is ridiculously steep that a rookie couldn't come in and split with Jones. And I just find myself thinking about having two second round RBs and a RB that is paid, and it doesn't sit well. Draft Bijon Trade Dillon and 4th for Gabriel Davis….they don’t wanna pay him, and Dillon is perfect with Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave Davis had a catch % of less than 52% this year. Dude is a smaller MVS. You want him because he’s not a Packer, but if he was a Packer you wouldn’t want him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a better all-around WR than MVS, but I will admit, after having Davis on my fantasy team this season and expecting a breakout campaign, I was pretty disappointed overall. He was never able to fill that 1b role next to Diggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I want to draft this guy: I think he can play a skill position, he is good at catching. there is a character red flag though. I hear he catches wild animals with his friends, then makes them fight each other. Edited February 28, 2023 by ThatJerkDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want him because he’s not a Packer, but if he was a Packer you wouldn’t want him. Davis also had a 17.4 ypc - pair that with the catch rate and it makes sense. He's only used as a deep threat in Buffalo despite the fact that he's totally misused in that role. His strengths are size and explosion paired with (despite some drops) good hands, suggesting he can excel in a short passing game. And he's an excellent blocker. He fits exactly what we need in a WR. Dude is a bigger MVS. He's 23 years old. You hate him because he's a wide receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re wrong about everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bad Example Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) To touch on a topic from Way Way Back about first round picks resulting in Super Bowl contention at various positions - I didn't go back and do exhaustive research but if you start with the 07 draft, over the past 15 years the only first round QB's who've won a Super Bowl with their original team are Mahomes twice and Carson Wentz with an asterisk I think based on this we can conclude all first round picks are poor investments and no team should ever pick anyone in the first round Edited March 1, 2023 by Mr Bad Example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Jalen Carter should easily be our 15th overall selection, but now the Chiefs are going to get him at 31st overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a timing thing. There is absolutely correlation to cap allotment, draft capital and positional value. The Chiefs just downgraded at WR, acquired significant draft capital and had a solid offensive line with big contracts at TE and QB. The only thing that is clear to me after the Chiefs broke the QB cap hit rule is that you need a strong OL and a strong DL. This is the clearest of clear. Proof is in the Chiefs getting destroyed by the Buccaneers. If you can get a cheap OL and a cheap DL, you can pay your QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
