That's the thing that makes no sense to me. Where is Zavian Thomas on your board? Is he a 2nd round value? Do you have him head and shoulders above other guys? If you've got him anywhere near other players, you just have to wait on him.

I generally assume that at least in the vast majority of cases, these guys were going to get drafted way earlier than the mock drafters had them ranked. It’s not like those are actual rankings that teams are following.
Doesn’t mean it’s a good pick, but I give the benefit of the doubt that this guy wasn’t actually gonna get picked in the 7th round. Previous MessagePrevious Message
A big flaw of Ryan Poles is not understanding when you can likely get guys later and should take some risk and wait. Previous Message
Welcome to the Outlier Draft.
The best players? All at "non-premium" positions. The 3 guys I think that can't miss are a running back, a safety, and an off-ball LB.
The prospects at premium positions all have a major flaw. The best pass rusher has T-Rex arms. The best offensive tackles might actually be guards. The best QB thinks whole milk is spicy.
Trying to figure out who goes where is a dart throw. Well, to be fair, it's always a dart throw. It's *especially* a dart throw this year, ok? Trying to figure out which team is going to be ok overlooking which weakness is going to be damn near impossible.
In the thread below, I'll make some posts about my thoughts on the different positions to get into more specific discussions on players.
