If i could have done 20 choices I would have lolThis was a tough one. Jayden Higgins is a great opportunity to get an X receiver but you can't turn down the opportunity to finally fix the LT position and get a potentially elite guard. So Simmons got my vote and in the end it probably wasn't that close. But I'll still be miffed at missing out on an opportunity to get an X.
Tre Harris or Tory Horton in the 3rd it is then.
fwiw I voted Membou in round 1. The depth at DL and the fact that we signed Milton influenced me.I was all set to come in and vote Higgins until I saw Simmons there. I think Simmons and Campbell are both LTs, so let them compete and the winner is our LT and the other is our LG or future RT in theory
You are the only reason Simmons is even an option lol as you had KC's selection and chose Egbuka. Not saying it was a bad pick but just seemed like Simmons was the more likely way to go.Gimme Higgins. Took Campbell in R1 to fix LT, I don't want to double dip. Either we as a staff believe in him or we don't. I might take Ozzy Trapilo later on, but that's depth. Higgins is my guy, but the mouse did hover over Princley for longer than needed.
It's hard to keep track of everyone. I don't have a big whiteboard on the three war rooms. I know that OT was listed as a need for KC with WR, and I felt Egbuka was closer to a bluechipper than what was available at OT. I had Egbuka going to them all along, and planned on OT in R2. I really felt they'd get Mahomes another target before they'd protect him. Worthy is not really a #1, the rest of his corps are jags.You are the only reason Simmons is even an option lol as you had KC's selection and chose Egbuka.

it's all good lol if it plays out this way for us great! IMO the Pats should not select a WR until day 3. The only exception would be if Matthew Golden were to somehow fall.It's hard to keep track of everyone. I don't have a big whiteboard on the three war rooms.

I was telling my wife about this last night. I told her I gotta figure out the draft needs of teams I don't follow when I can barely keep up with the Pats draft needs beyond a couple rounds.it's all good lol if it plays out this way for us great!

You don't? I thought that's what we were all doing. Amateur!It's hard to keep track of everyone. I don't have a big whiteboard on the three war rooms.
I know you and @bakes781 have multi wall white boards with a team of scouts. I am a one man band, unfortunately.You don't? I thought that's what we were all doing. Amateur!
I wavered between Alexander, Bech, Jackson and Higgins. Went with the big boy.The Choice is yours. Feel to write in one's you don't see. I am limited to 10 choices.
