A lot depends on how your league is set up and how many people are in it. Is it PPR? If so, then CMC and Eckler must come into play, because those little screen passes/ dump offs will get you hella points every week. Taylor is still probably the #1 consensus pick though and the safest bet. 

Since you get back to back picks for rounds 2 and 3 you have to pick and choose very wisely. A stud RB in the first and then the best WR/RB/TE combo you can pull in 2 & 3. 

This is the way.

I would love to be in a league where Kelce went first overall. He didn't even finish #1 in TE scoring last year.

Picking a running back in the first is outdated.   And there are so many wr's that get points in todays NFL.  Like I said there are like 3 te's that consistently give you points every week.  Its a huge advantage if you draft well and get some running back sleepers.  There are always guys that emerge.   Just look at the rankings from the last 6-8 weeks of running backs and you will say very few of them were drafted in the first round

I dunno man, running back is the one position that falls off an absolute cliff if you don't draft them early.  It's so much easier to find WR sleepers later on since most teams operate out of 3 WR sets the majority of the time.  With running backs, the handful of featured guys get snagged up within the first few rounds and then you're basically left with taking handcuffs on the off chance that a starter gets dinged up and misses time.  Or draft a backup rookie running back and hope that he takes over the starting position at some point in the season.  I can't recall how many years I've had random rookie running backs sitting on my bench just clogging up valuable roster spots because my running back situation was so desperate that I was banking on one of them amounting to something during the season.

I'm not saying Kelce doesn't have value. But it would be ludicrous to pick him first if you had the #1 pick of the entire draft. I could MAYBE buy your argument if you were picking at the end of the first round (although Mark Andrews would be the better choice). But unless you have weird league settings, you're only starting one Tight End each week and at least 2 RBs and 2 WRs (if not more). And of course running backs get hurt and others emerge, which is why you draft guys with upside in later rounds too.

Taylor there is no 2nd guessing this.  Cmc can't stay healthy. Lol connect the dots 

JT will have a good year (barring injury) but there is some serious built in regression with him simply due to the perfect storm of the record number of touches he got inside the 5 and overall volume as well.

I wonder if you still feel this way?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
