not sure what i think about this strategy.

in one way i absolutely love it because of what it does to the trenches.

of course we get our center for the next decade. 

and we also get our edge set with darius robinson. so that's two huge things.

last couple days i've been flirting with this idea of getting also T'vondre Sweat just because i love the idea of DL that consists of Brown at 6'5 320 lbs, A'Shawn Robinson at 6'3 320lbs, and then Sweat at 6'4 366lbs in the middle...and then either rotate or add shy tuttle to the line in goal/short yardage situations. 

can you imagine the headache that would give OLs? plus, with Sweat, it gives us options with Brown we wouldn't otherwise have.

but then there's the playmakers. i'm just not nuts about washington and baker and erick all the way i am other pass catchers. i think they could be good, even really good, but i would just hate to miss out on these guys at the top. 

i'm a carson steele fan so i'mfine there. he'd give the run game the violent punch it needs.

this strategy would need a couple extra earlier picks to get an upgrade with the pass catchers, but then we might miss out some of the trench beef we'd be adding.

I’m with you on Sweat. Getting a true nose like him is super intriguing. I’ve gone OC and WR, but I’m leaning towards Sweat at this point.

I wouldn't blame them at all for double dipping WR in R2. We can focus on rebuilding defense next year.

I think this would be a great draft.  I'm almost convinced the Cheifs will get one of those Texas WRs right before our pick 33...

I hope for the sake of the rest of the league KC doesn't get their hands on Xavier Worthy. If I'm an AFC contender picking before #32 like Buffalo or Cincy or Baltimore I'd take Worthy just so the Chiefs can't.

Where would Darius Robinson fit in our 3-4? I’ve never seen him play, so I don’t know much about him. On paper he looks too big for an OLB. And borderline small for a 3-4 end. In a 4-3 he looks perfect. But again, that’s just on paper.

The deeper I get into this, the less I think he does. I'm assuming most are thinking he'd be a Burns replacement and he's the best listed edge available when we start picking, but I think your assessment is correct, he seems more of a 4-3 edge

The last two I've done skipping over RobinsonPFN_Draft_result_1710598673427.thumb.png.7677c9a05225244dcf1e8d1ca3162415.pngPFN_Draft_result_1710687317393.thumb.png.eff5f3b65d8f119df757ed0da6a0c69a.png

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
