The numbers are round/overall.
I reached with my RB group and now I feel shame. My problem is that I looked into the chasm that exists after picking second in the second round and knew I'd be scrambling all year for a bell cow RB. My thought was Barkley at least gave me a chance at a HR and would certainly be drafted higher if everything were sure about him physically. I look at that pick now and think he won't be 100% all year and even if he is, they aren't going to over work him. Gus Edwards was an overdraft but that is me gambling on a guy. I wanted him and he probably wasn't going to be there at the end of the 5th. Kareem Hunt was a nice pick in that spot and he does give me insurance as a low end starter if the other two crap out.
I did well with my receiver group. I have the #1WR in fantasy. I have one of the big three TE, after which there is a significant drop. I have really good depth and could probably go 4 starting WR if I wanted. I also have a couple of rookies who were probably being undervalued, which is particularly shocking for an Alabama Heisman winner in Smith. It sounds like the Cardinals like what they see in Moore so maybe he becomes something.
I'm very happy with Herbert. Someone stole Jackson just in front of me. People waited on QB this year, which is unusual in our league.
Overall, I should have waited on RB early and loaded up at WR. I could see that by halfway through the draft. I should have seen that in RD 1, as the RB flew off the board. I forgot the principal to take the talent that falls to you, regardless of positional need. I should have gone Adams, Hill/Diggs, stuck with Kittle at 3 and then gotten a RB at 4. Such is life. Decent draft. Not a home run but probably good enough to get me into the playoffs. I certainly have at least a couple of guys who are the type who can win games for me on their own in a given week.
FWIW, I love the Hunt pick. I targeted him in all my drafts and fell short - I think you got him at a great spot. If Chubb misses time then Hunt automatically becomes a pass-catching RB1, and even when Chubbs is in Hunt to me is a solid RB2/low-end RB1 (in PPR leagues). I think he'll be a better fantasy back than Edwards (let's see).
I thought Barkley was good value in round 2. I avoided Godwin after getting burned last year, but that's more because of the weapons around him and not necessarily because of anything to do with him as a player. He might be the best WR on that team.
