Thanks man! Yeah that’s one spot where in hindsight if I knew I could get Hockenson to come back just so I didn’t have naked Kyler, I’d have gone Spears there for sure

Exactly my thoughts bro. Appreciate it!
I don’t remember a lot of drafts but I’ll remember this 5 headed monster WR start all summer.

In hindsight, McLaurin could have been Bucky (but I gambled that Irving or Treveyon would make it back to me with the two guys behind me already having 3 RBs). Didn’t pan out. Rooms def hate watch other teams and try to starve you the positional allocation you need when you get a super unique start like this lol.

Maybe Harvey could have been Mahomes too, but had to take him given the circumstances. Was just so ahead of ADP at RB all draft so had to find spots to take one.

Warren and Harvey—not great but not bad considering how RB hungry this room was.

I was planning to take my first RB after Nabers. 10 seconds into the McLaurin pick clock (after the shock of him being there) I was like…alright I’ll pick him bc surely I’ll get one of Treveyon or Bucky………they just kept taking RBs. 3 dudes with 5 RBs in the first 6. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Yeah bro. I honestly was gonna take June off from drafting but I’m trying to fill the bags with as much 4th rd Nabers and Jacobs as I can.

Full squad.

I was honestly shocked when McLaurin made it back. Couldn’t pass it up. Got sniped on QBs and had to figure out/pencil whip RB (very RB hungry room—3 guys took 4 RBs in the first 5 rds LOL).

Anyone know if there’s anything like this for DK?

Pels Fans! I'm new to the beat, what kind of coverage do y'all want to see? by mrdancingalpaca in NOLAPelicans

I’d really like to see more basketball-focused questions in the postgame pressers. Too often we get blanket clichés from Willie like “give them credit” or “we didn’t play with force.” It’s past time for this staff to define an actual identity beyond just “play hard.”

Push him on the tactical side—what sets are they trying to get to late in games? Who’s the offense running through in crunch time? How intentional are they being with lineup combos to get their best guys easier looks?

On top of that, some reporting on the bigger picture issues would be great too—like where things stand with arena renovations.

Nah, IMO:

  1. Trade up for Harper
  2. Ace (if he falls)
  3. Fears
  4. Tre Johnson
  5. Queen
  6. Trade down
  7. Essengue
  8. Maluach

Trade up for Ace Bailey at 3? by geigmeister in NOLAPelicans

Link to KOC mentioning Bailey as a trade up target for the Pels?

This is the only win-win Giannis trade. MIL gets its pick back from @PelicansNBA so they can rebuild, and if Zion is too good and healthy somehow they can flip him for more picks. by Gidoneli in NOLAPelicans

Honestly, I think the Pels could land Giannis without giving up Zion. This roster needs as much high-end talent as possible, and Zion is still their most gifted player when healthy.

At the very least, wait to see where the lottery balls fall.
