Kenny Stills. Not really a gamble as you can get him in the last round.

Tavon Austin here too. I skipped a WR2 for Witten in the 5th round and got him in the 7th. If he bombs I'm kinda screwed.

Where is he going in the mocks? I have my eye on him but thought I could grab him pretty late (i.e., before the gronk picker tries the reverse handcuff)

I've been burned on some rookies lately, but had my eye on a couple, bit I didn't reach this year like I usually do

Really liked Bell, Gio and Austin.

That Denver rb spot is so up in the air...it could end ip being Hillman and I wouldn't be shocked.

What makes you think BJE is going to lose his spot? Gio will get a fee touches but he can't pass protect. Gio will be a flex at best this year.

Bell and lacy.

I've had good success with rookie rbs in past. Hope it continues.

I hate taking rookies unless I get them in late rounds.

Especially rookie WR's.

I like Bell and Lacy.

I like Gio, but in later rounds than he is going. I think he'll get some more work as the season progresses, since BJGE is just not all that great. Of course, he could suck.

I also like Miller, who is not a rookie in real life, but sort of is fantasy wise.

In fact, I may go wr, wr, wr and then try to grab some combo of Miller, Bell and Lacy at rb.

so far, just Lacy. I'm doing my auction draft next Wednesday. I really like what Cordarrelle Patterson brings to the table so I may take him late at a low price.

definitely not looking for big yardage from him but it seems like they want to get him involved in that offense.

I think there has only been 3 or 4 WR's since 2000 that have topped the 1,000 yard mark in their rookie seasons.
