I think Saunders & Savage will go in the 2nd, but I like it. Polite might be selected with one of those 3rd rd picks.
Saunders is projected to go anywhere from late 2nd to early 4th. I suspect he makes it to the 3rd but who knows. I was very tempted to put him as the selection at 72 and if he makes it there, he may be the pick. But ultimately, since it’s all a guess, I left him at 94 because I think they end up going DL somewhere in that range and other players like Wren or Mack could easily be the pick instead of Saunders.
Same logic with Savage. He probably will be gone by then but I left him b/c he’s my favorite FS target and I expect one of the safeties they brought in will be available. I think several fit what they want to do so instead of saying “misc. safety pick” I just picked my favorite name.
My drafts are more focused on what I anticipate their strategy and positional priorities will be...less so on the individual player names.
I’ve put a lot of thought into them drafting Polite and I concluded that he doesn’t feel like a Rams player. Something off about him with the red flags. It’s just a gut feeling. And I think some of their other needs will be higher priorities.
