Re: Draft Week - Final Picks

Injuries have delayed both of them.
2022 1 Chris Olave
2022 1 Trevor Penning
2022 2 Alontae Taylor
2021 1 Payton Turner
2021 2 Pete Werner
2020 1 Cesar Ruiz (no 2nd rounder)
2019 2 Erik McCoy (no 1st rounder)
2018 1 Marcus Davenport (no 2nd rounder)
2017 1 Marshon Lattimore
2017 1 Ryan Ramczyk
2017 2 Marcus Williams
2016 1 Sheldon Rankins
2016 2 Michael Thomas
2016 2 Vonn Bell
Davenport cost us TWO numbers ones... he was a mild bust and we used the following year's number 1 for him. Those stings a little.
2022 is looking good. Jury is still out on P Turner 2021. 2020 late bloom for Ruiz. 2029 NADA... see Davenport trade. 2017 was solid.. although they SP is carrying on about Mahomes, he makes it seem he was Nostradamus... if he was, then he effed up. 2016, what seemed like a no brainer at first glance, now looks like WTF.
I know.. can't win them all. Hope springs eternal.
This will be in reality the first draft sans SP influence. Let's see what unfolds.
