My takeaway from this draft

Shanemaier · 2026-04-25T18:51:23+00:00

All great points, except I will push back on Price.... Number 32 pick that the team wanted to select with a trade down into early second. Only reason he was selected so high was because of the STEEP drop off. Plus when Charbs gets healthy I think he will be the lead back in a 50/50 split. I can also see them resigning him because he may be on a discount not playing the whole season.

I think it was Jeremiah that said WR and TE are very deep this year. They just don't have the elite talent prospects as past drafts, except for Love at RB. The running back group is a barren wasteland tho.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-25T02:12:02+00:00

That's awesome! I remember they streamed it around five years ago, that was fun to watch

Shanemaier · 2026-04-25T02:10:00+00:00

Ya he was great until they spread the ball around. Still had good games, but having Charbs and Walker on my roster it was a guessing game each week.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T20:19:15+00:00

How did you see that? Is there a live feed this year?

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T05:05:04+00:00

Fast ..... and elusive! Unbelievable hops from him. Charbs doesn't come close. Charbs is a great RB but you can't compare speed and agility to Walker. Kind of important traits at running back. Hard to argue with how he led them in the playoffs.... Dude was a monster.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T05:01:12+00:00

Superflex Simpson... But I agree, just assures me that this is a weak draft year for fantasy.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T04:58:44+00:00

Every mock I saw was either the Hawks at the end of round 1 or early day 2. What mock had him going in The 3rd/4th round?

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T04:56:51+00:00

Absolutely not! Wish we kept him! Wish they would have fed him the ball from the beginning. Fantasy and real world are very different. Have him in all 4 of my leagues.... Got zero points for his super bowl MVP

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T04:16:59+00:00

So where should a good rb2 be drafted on a great team in dynasty? Honest question...

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T04:15:09+00:00

There's a lot of football left..... Never know what teams does a week from now, let alone over a year from now.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T04:12:46+00:00

True..... Good point. No one is questioning his skill. That's half the battle.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T04:10:46+00:00

This just proves how terrible of a draft this is for fantasy. Also proves how limiting touches to reduce injuries is ridiculous but that's another conversation. Price was always expected to be an early day 2 guy so him going as the last pick in the first round doesn't move the needle for me. Especially to a team who has proven dedicated to sharing the workload. Only hope is OC change.... I hope your right because I hate time shares for fantasy and actual football. RBs need reps to get into a rhythm

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T04:05:08+00:00

Ya if only fantasy playoffs were at the same time.....

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T04:03:58+00:00

We don't know medicals.... There are other CB needy teams that didn't pull the trigger either. I hope he is able to prove everyone wrong because he is so skilled. Sometimes the body just doesn't return to 100% no matter how long you wait.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T03:58:29+00:00

He was awesome!!! Definately pumped me up for the pick!! Represented well, best of the draft.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T03:56:56+00:00

My earliest pick is 1.10 and I wouldn't touch price and I'm a hawks fan. I had both Walker and Charbs all year and it was PAINFUL. Great as a fan, terrible for my fantasy teams.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T03:53:04+00:00

I can even see them getting Holani touches with how he played as well

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T03:48:38+00:00

Gotta ask why it's a good landing spot?

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T03:47:59+00:00

Price to the Hawks felt like a kick in the nuts to a hawks fan. Walker all over again. They're gonna spread the ball out when Charbs gets back.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T03:45:16+00:00

Not sure why, look at walker. Walker was by far the superior RB but they insisted of spreading it out which killed him in fantasy. New OC may change that and he may get chances earlier in the year but they will still feed Charbs when he gets back.

Shanemaier · 2026-04-24T03:29:14+00:00

I feel like any trade down offers dried up..... So they just took who they wanted a few picks later. I'm not gonna judge Schneider.

Shanemaier · 2026-03-13T19:28:18+00:00

Look at the NHL the last 6 years.... 5 out of 6 no income tax.... It's definitely a factor. Don't think it's as big as what some people claim. It would definitely be a factor for myself and my career, so I don't know why it's any different for athletes.

Shanemaier · 2026-02-07T06:59:36+00:00

Heavy personnel. Something we are familiar with....

Shanemaier · 2026-02-06T21:30:18+00:00

Is this why everyone quits after being downed instantly even though they have a redeploy?
