Getting things done early this year for a couple of reasons ... first? My time management has reached almost "competent adult" levels. Second? The chatter as we get closer to the draft might have an effect on me and there's simply no new info that will be coming out this month. Third? These tend to get lost the week of the draft. I'll still do my "Top 2 rounds" draft week.
This is a decent year at the position with someone in the top range and lots of mid round starting talent ... followed by a LOT of depth players that can be solid backups or develop. I like us drafting two players here from this group and likely adding a couple more as priority FAs.
I'm trying to be more stringent on my grades, but guys will generally be rated higher by me than others because I imagine them in their best fit.
Our FO seems to prioritize ex tackles, so I leave their college position in, and many times I'll project them inside years in advance.
I'll italicize my favorites here ...
