I had superflex draft last night. I took Zamir @ 26 and Keaontay Ingram @ 48. I had pick #13 and thought long about dameon pierce, but took the higher rated dotson
14 team sf ppr.
1.1 Breece Hall
3.2 Brian Robinson
3.12 Keontay Ingram
4.08 Jerome Ford
UDFA Kevin Harris.
Feeling pretty good after reading this.
Would you trade a 2023 3rd for Strong?
Thanks Mike.
Thanks Mike hit elijah mitchell last year in 4th rounds, once in the 5th cause of your analysis!
Great article as always, Mike. Thank you! I really think after Hall, it’s take your guy and I appreciate you lining out where to take all these RB’s. Is Spiller a good value at the end of the 2nd? He goes to a prime spot where Ekeler has said he wants less touches. All the other RB’s except Pearce, Hall and Algier are in committees too. I have a hard time passing on Spiller with such good game tape in the 2nd. It seems across the board, the combine caused larger than normal tilts in value. Am I missing something?
Thanks Mike. Great as always. I also really like Spiller’s ability. Also love this tape. With a couple fixes, I think he’s a steal.
It’s not like Eckler is getting younger(27 at seasons start) and he now doubt would like to go back to his role when Gordon was there.
I could see Spiller getting a good amount of first and second down work, especially inside the 20. He also has good receiving ability and he will earn some of those I think. I really like the line the Chargers are putting together.
For me personally, I have no problem spending a second on him at the beginning of the round. He’s a value target for me.
Excellent! Thanks Mike! Lateral quickness is absolutely important for NFL RB’s. I appreciate the added insight.
What are the “red flags” for White?
Our rookie draft is this Sunday, I have the 1.12 (as a result of a trade, not because I won the title, unfortunately!). I’m seeing Dameon Pierce rising in ADP and I’m strongly considering taking him – I already have Marlon Mack, so I figure it’s going to lock up that backfield for the coming season and maybe longer. My starters are Akers / J Williams / Etienne / Edmonds, so I’m not in desperate need of an immediate starter – but the WR options at that point aren’t likely to be great. Thoughts? Thanks!
So what is it about Ingram that has you selecting him in the 2nd while the NFL saw a 6th round pick? I liked Ingram, but thought he’d get late day-2, early day-3 draft capital. I was not expecting that late slot.
Agree, the draft guide has him as a 4th/5th so it was odd seeing him suggested as a 2nd.
I believe you guys might have misspelled Pacheco’s first name. I’m seeing it spelled “Isiah” not “isaih”.
Weeeeiiird. NFL has it the other way!

Thanks Mike! Good to see some of the players I took have some good takes.
I got Breece at 1.01 but aside from him the only RBs I took this year were Robinson at 3.08, I traded back in to get him, and then I picked up Pacheco as a CEH owner, and Kennedy Brooks as a Sanders/Gainwell owner.
Do you think K Brooks is worth it though? I’m thinking of dropping him and stashing Kevin Harris. I like his chances for next year.
The top of the 1st rnd is pretty cut and dry, but the late 1st is where it gets interesting. White is in your top 12 but you don’t value him as a 1st rnd pick, so what do you do if you’re holding the 1.10 to 1.12 pick? Do you draft him because he’s your highest ranked player or do you pass on him because you don’t think he’s worth a 1st?
Great insight on round selections Mike. Just completed 12 team PPR BestBall draft and went heavy with RB’s: J Cook 1.12, Z White 2.11, J Woods TE 3.05, J Ross (4.05) and J Ford (5.05)
