Was confused when I couldn't find the recent convo on draft value & RBs. It's kind of a derail in the Browns thread & a reasonable topic for here so...

Right now Garrett and Lattimore look like studs.
Thomas, Fournette, and Adams have been good-great(?). But we're talking winless 49ers passing on QB cuz they getting Kirk next offseason - that works. What's the Jags plan?? Jets plan??
Even tho Fournette has been great I think that pick was terrible (see Cook, Hunt, Kamara, Packers undrafted rook) that cost 5-100x less salary & draft capital.
The Rookie WRs haven't done much yet, obv MW been injured. I liked Davis but idk and John Ross pick looks pretty terrible.
McCaffrey - see Fournette reasoning then take away the great RB part.
Browns suck but they're doing something right. Keep trading down, turn one 1st rounder into two, into three, etc. Keep letting them breed. Maybe they do suck at picking players but the draft capital acquisition is clearly smart.
I was looking at something else, & found out that the Saints actually traded a 2018 2nd & 2017 7th to the 49ers for Kamara pick, so they used more draft capital than you might expect on a 3rd round pick, although he's been obviously quite good & it seems to be working out.
Also, all 3 top 10 WRs have been hurt. Hard to have much of a new opinion on any of them.
Also, I find
THIS post amusing still. 4.5 a really good over under. Kizer got benched halfway through his 5th start. Also, I guess I should have bet the Browns under.
