Feels like CEH and JT all over again
Unfortunately, it’s the “herd mentality” or “twitter mob” at work here. I had my draft last week, possessed the 1.01 and drafted Breece Hall without hesitation. I was absolutely shocked when Dameon Pierce went immediately after Hall at 1.02 and Kenneth Walker didn’t go until 2.02. Don’t read too much into Walker as the 2.02 as this league is more of a keeper league (not a full-blown dynasty) and sometimes good veterans are dropped, and when they are, they are usually drafted before some rookies (i.e. Mike Williams, Gabriel Davis). But, this is yet another case (Pierce going 2nd overall) of the groundswell of chatter overtaking reality.
