So RE: my above post, maybe it just makes sense to nab Kelce at the turn.
I like your above rankings. I probably like fading Kamara this year now though. Reduced rushing volume and you could see how little they used him in the passing game without Brees.
Is Akers this years Drake? Late season bloom leads to high draft and a bust. Probably not, Stafford won't eat into his value nearly as much as Kyler did with Drake.
Yeah receive is crazy deep, which is probably an argument to move guys like Waller and Kittle up and move guys like Metcalf/Ridley/Diggs down, but it's tough.
I can see fading Kamara, but I have to imagine his rushing volume will increase even if his receiving volume decreases. They should still want him to get 20 touches a game.
Also I just realized I forgot Zeke lol. I'd probably put him between Barkley and Ekeler.
I'm a little worried about Barkley in year one after the ACL tear, but the dude is a freak, so I'd still take him in the top half of the first without shame. He's just a little bit riskier, imo.
I think Akers is much better than Drake, and like you said, Stafford won't be rushing like Kyler.
Again, I like Akers and Swift a lot. I think both teams are going to have to use each a lot.
