That high ankle sprain with 1 reception and 15 yards cost me my championship. Was a very nice prize pool. 

I had the first overall pick in my league and went with CMC over Taylor.  I was laughed out if the draft room.  A few months later CMC carried me to the fantasy title.  Meanwhile the guy with pick 2 and Taylor finished near the bottom of the league.

They were gifted the Patrick mahomes of their era in Peyton Manning and only managed what, 1 Superbowl?

That's Sean Payton with Drew Brees level bad. I think a below average franchise gets at least 2 Superbowls 

In all fairness the Manning led Colts had to deal with Tom Brady and the Pats during his tenure.  Imagine having one of the greatest QBs of all time only to watch him have to play the greatest QB of all time in the AFC playoffs every year.

I wouldn't say that I agree with Jim Irsay (ever) but Taylor strikes me as the kind of guy who's going to have a really strong season or two but also a very short shelf life due to his style of play.

I probably wouldn't trade for him.

Wasn't just that either.

That era in the AFC was absolutely gnarly.  You had prime Manning 1, Brady, Roethlisberger, and Rivers, along with the always good Ravens, and amazing Steelers defenses.

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
