re: **Live Draft** Live Slow Draft on TigerDroppings - comments welcome

The draft has been surprisingly RB-heavy early, with several backs going well ahead of consensus, while some quality wide receivers have slipped. London’s a high upside wide receiver.

I've had Achane last couple years and he's been great. But man that offense scares the crap out of me.

Yeah, me too. Plus, he’s not the biggest back and you worry about injury anyway. I was hoping to get Brown. But he was probably the last of the RB1s and after that it’s gonna drop off a lot, but there’s still a lot of quality wide receivers and tight ends at this point.

J Love, too much upside to pass up at this point

Thank you for doing this. It’s great to have something to do in the summer while we get ready for football.

I've got time. I'm a lot like a fireman in my job. I get paid to sit around much of the time, but when a client has an issue, I'm very important.

Give me Chris brown

I gotta admit, I didn't even catch your error. My brain read Chase Brown.

I even put Chris on the draft board. Now Walrus' post makes more sense.

Gotta be willing to zig when everyone else zags.

How did yall know this would be the exact time that I would be back?

Maybe a reach here but I’ll take Josh Allen. Seems a little early but what the hell

I was hoping McBride would slip a little more, and talked myself out of my pick I had planned

Here is Round 2:
##
# **2.01 — dcaff97 (EricJr97): Kenneth Walker III**
Takes **Kenneth Walker III** right after he lands in Kansas City. Paying premium Round 2 capital on a back who spent three years running hot-and-cold in Seattle before they let him walk in free agency. Bold strategy trusting Andy Reid’s rotation with a guy whose soft-tissue health is a weekly coin flip.
##
# **2.02 — croxley99: Omarion Hampton**
Took a sophomore Chargers RB in Round 2 who spent half his rookie year on the trainer’s table. Praying that Mike McDaniel fixing the offense in LA is enough to save a guy who averaged under 4 yards a carry behind that patchwork line.
###
**2.03 — jcwilk88: Saquon Barkley**
Drafting 29-year-old Saquon in the early 2nd. Classic "chasing last year’s points" move. He’s logged over 1,500 NFL touches, and you’re relying on his knees to hold up for another full dynasty run while his workload slowly turns into a committee.
###
**2.04 — bulldog95: Chase Brown**
Reached for a 5th-round draft pick turned volume-merchant in Cincinnati. Sure, he caught 69 passes last year, but you’re drafting Chase Brown ahead of proven alpha WRs because you panicked about running back depth.
###
**2.05 — stupak1: Brock Bowers**
Drafted a Tight End at 2.05 in a standard format. Brock Bowers is incredible, but drafting a TE this early means you’re banking on him putting up top-10 WR points every single week just to break even on value.
##
# **2.06 — NoleMan: De'Von Achane**
Drafted a 185-pound back who gets checked into the medical tent if a linebacker looks at him too hard. When Achane plays, he’s electric; when he’s out, you get to watch Raheem Mostert steal all his goal-line work.
###
**2.07 — bhamtigah: Drake London**
The yearly "this is the year Drake London breaks out" pick. Drafting Atlanta’s WR1 in Round 2 when his quarterback situation has been a game of musical chairs for his entire career is elite copium.
###
**2.08 — LSUSW (TheWalrus): Jeremiyah Love**
Drafted a rookie RB who hasn’t played a single NFL snap yet over proven, multi-year NFL wide receivers. Arizona drafted him 3rd overall, but taking a rookie back in a crowded Cardinals room with James Conner still taking goal-line touches is pure rookie fever.
### *
*2.09 — sainttigerpel: Trey McBride**
Had Nico Collins and A.J. Brown sitting right there and said, *"No thanks, give me Arizona's tight end."* Solid player, but passing up true alpha WR1s to draft a tight end in Round 2 is bold.
###
**2.10 — lsulunatik: Nico Collins**
Actually made a sensible pick grabbing CJ Stroud’s WR1, except for the fact that Houston’s target distribution is a weekly guessing game between Collins, Dell, and Diggs. Enjoy the 35-point weeks followed by 6-point duds.
### *
*2.11 — AURX: Josh Allen**
Took a quarterback at 2.11 in a 1QB format. Locking up Josh Allen is nice, but doing it in Round 2 while premier starting RBs and WRs are still on the board is a fantasy rookie mistake.
###
**2.12 — CEtiger (YOU): A.J. Brown (and 3.01 Derrick Henry)**
You sat on the turn, watched everyone panic-draft running backs, and decided your roster needed a **31-year-old Derrick Henry** and **A.J. Brown** (who complains on Twitter every time Jalen Hurts scrambles).
Your RB room is now a 200lb space back (Gibbs) and a 31-year-old power back (Henry) who has logged over 2,200 career carries. If Henry hits the age wall this season, your RB2 is going to be a waiver-wire pickup by Week 6.
