Do we open up waivers after The Draft for a period of time for the undrafted guys? I think we did that last year. I like carrying the 36 man roster to final cutdowns. Maybe waivers back on once preseason starts, though? Didn't have to worry about that last year, but obviously a lot can happen if a starter gets hurt or an unknown guy shines.

We usually do, on a set date.

And can we finally make rosters an even 30 as opposed to 29? Drives me nuts.

I only take wide receivers. And I only take them if I have their quarterback.

BOOOOOOOO

wanted Bateman, obvi

Nice pick.

[mention]BF004[/mention] you are on the clock!

[mention]YoHoChecko[/mention]

I have my suspicions that Mond is who [mention]YoHoChecko[/mention] was positioning for. He would have been my pick if available at 18... looks like he would not have been. I was curious where he would go, but to me, this is the last really talented QB in a pretty good situation.

With [mention]BF004[/mention] holding Cousins, kind of a no-brainer.

Also, for having TWO Vikings QB's.

Guess this is his value spot then, felt early.

I like Trask’s opportunity more in TB and I obviously hate Vikings, but definitely like Mond better, he has a cool first name, and makes sense having Kirk.

Ideally Mond and Kirk will both be starters in a year or two.

It was always Carter for me.

Well that’s a lie. It was Bateman and Carter

That means [mention]Trudge[/mention] is on the clock!

I like Carter. Pretty low miles sharing the load with Williams. Feels a titch early and you paid a pretty heavy price, but like you said earlier, we are all going to have different values on guys from here on out. Really nice fit for him, though.

Yeah, I guess it is early; but there aren't a lot of RBs and I need one and while I think Trey Sermon is a perfect fit in San Fran, I don't trust Kyle Shanahan not to keep a fulltime committee going. Plus Carter was one of my favorites pre-draft. I think he's got a decent shot to be Aaron Jones-ish in the league.

Completely agree with you on Carter, I actually love the pick. Think Sermon is destined for disaster with the committee and offense. Don't see him ever being a RB1/2, where Carter can be envisioned that way at least to me.

5' 8" made me a bit leery of Carter, especially if looking for a RB1. Not many guys that short are RB1s for more than a season or 2.

Also worth noting: Carter had more rushing yards and scrimmage yards than Williams AND a higher yards per carry average than Williams in both of the past two seasons. Watching film, he stuck out more. Carter was a better RB than Williams, Williams is just seen as a potential "bellcow" and Carter not as much. But, like, he was better. That always confused me about this draft class eval.

Nice pick, [mention]Trudge[/mention]. I'm surprised he didn't go a little higher.

Weeee. The guy i wanted went last WR added so...

[mention]BF004[/mention] you are on the clock.

[mention]Waldo[/mention], you up

Gotta say I wasn’t planning on coming out of this draft with Kyle Trask and Kellen Mond only with ammo for next year to get another QB.


Think I might be playing the waiver wire a lot this year.
