My picks: Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Costa Rica, Argentina, Belgium

 

So basically I went with the eight group winners.  I think if one falls it is most likely to be Costa Rica, Argentina or Belgium.  I think Brazil will win but closer than they would like.  I feel pretty confident about Colombia, France, Germany and Netherlands.  Had Suarez not lost his mind again the Colombia-Uruguay game would have been the one I was most looking forward to.

    • Re: the safety talk - There's a range of roles they fall into.  And depending where on the spectrum, the value can absolutely align R1, but its rare.  If you identify one that can play 80% snaps off the bat and has the skillset for robber and slot roles, then it aligns.  The best slot a lot of the time (Hamilton, Branch, Emman, Pitre)  It can be tantalizing but many of the time, those defenses were in a good spot already (BAL, SEA, HOU for example)    And for a Fangio-esque defense running two-high-shell, heavy zone w/simulated pressures, and primarily 5 and 6 DB packages, having a guy that can adapt on a package-to-package basis is huge.  If you find a guy that can play back, play robber, and play as a slot-defender all in one is one of the most valuable types in the NFL.  Inversely, if you don't play that way, a FS has very minimal value.  Overall, I would say there is still more inherent value in a 3 down DL or edge rusher.  The nice thing about landing one is we have Ransom to pull back deep when they're in the slot.  There's a few in R2 that could be interesting in this respect.    
    • Reader would be solid but Evero definitely has his preferences.  His types on the DL (all spots) are a bit different than the other Fangio disciples.  Even for 0/1, it seems likes the more athletic/fluid types over the power/clogs.  And he doesn't mind using undersized guy like Turk opposite DB.   I was really interested in Harmon & Tyleik Williams last year.  Unfortunately they went way higher than expected so fell between our 1-2 picks.  Unsure how this team thought of them.   Would be nice to get someone a bit more fierce and a pocket-collapser alongside Brown.  2 of the 3 should have that ability to disrupt on any given play.  Of the 1st Rd DLs, I definitely like McDonald but am a bit iffy on Woods & Banks.  The two DL after Round 1 that I think could be real finds are Kaleb Proctor & Darrell Jackson Jr. 
    • Okay I hear Ed Oliver and Aaron Donald. Is that realistic?  I been sleeping on this guy.
