Corn Elder is terrific.

I hope he doesn't have any kids. I saw 'Children of the Corn'. Those kids were scary!

Yup. Surprised there's been no seeming interest from the Pats. When I saw he was a 4 year ST captain, I locked him in. The lack of interest since and the full WR roster meant I dialled that back.

In any other year, I would have put Hollins on my list in a heartbeat. He really does have Patriots written all over him. But it's not just the deep WR roster, it's the overstuffed cabinet of ST stars: Slater, J. Jones, Ebner, Bolden, King. Though now I'm talking myself back into Hollins somehow.

That's really well done. I've been struck by the quality and fit of the walking wounded this year. With a deep roster and no high picks, rolling the dice on injuries could make a lot of sense.

I think you may have already seen this in another thread, but ...

Slater (31)
Ebner
Bolden
King
... and Grissom

are all UFA at the end of the season.

And the Pats have already lost Mingo, who was #2 in ST snaps and #4 in ST tackles in 2016.

Starting to wish I'd put Marcus Maye in my predictions.

This is why I had to do something for fun. If I tried to predict the moves they might make For Real, then I'd get way too competitive and frustrated about the entire process. I hate being wrong.

Overthought and overwrought .... that's me!

Hammer of Thor · Apr 27, 2017

In 4 years of doing this, I've gotten a total of 2 picks right. One of those was the equivalent of the free middle square on a bingo card - Joe Cardona. The other was Cyrus Jones. In light of that, I'm changing my strategy this year and going with the "All-Belichick personal connections and special teams love" draft:

Ryan Anderson, LB, Alabama
Raekwon McMillan, LB, Ohio State
George Kittle, TE, Iowa
D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas
Mack Hollins, WR, North Carolina
Kent Perkins, OT, Texas
Weston Steelhammer, S, Air Force (no Navy players declared this year....)

Raekwon McMillan, LB, Ohio State
Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn

Montravius Adams, DT, Auburn

I didn't even get Joe Cardona. I got Solder and Vereen in my first year and only Cyrus since (although I did have Brock Vereen one year).

BB just signs them later on to hide the fact that me and him are tight.

Aside from Flowers, and maybe Brandon Deaderick, I've mostly had my picks acquired years later - e.g., McLellin, Sheard, Ealy.
