I have 3 guys on my board and am 4 slots away. Any chance any of the 3 will still be there when my pick fires?


All three survived! Won't be Miller but should give us some added depth at OLB.

Being at the bottom of every round, I set my sights on how I rated high 2nd rounders, so far its worked out and have filled 2 needs out of 2 straight away. HappyZona

I always think that FBs make good pulling guards, as most have a decent amount of speed and good run blocking skills


I'm not interested in what he does when his doors are locked, I just want him to play well, lmao.

FB's usually don't go high in the draft but, man, they are hard to get if you don't.


So are you saying I should keep as a FB? in your opinion of course.

I think there is a weight component to the blocking formula that will hinder the ability to use TE and FB in place of heavier linemen. A 250lb full back can take on a linebacker but will struggle with a 290lb DE. At least that is what I understand…I may be totally wrong with the game engine.

Wolf is correct, a big weight differential will be a disadvantage. As for leaving him at FB or not, he will start to gain weight as he trains to be a lineman if you move him, but if you want a strong running game you might want to keep him at fullback. The question is will it be worth that for a first round salary? If it were me I'd probably keep him at FB, or maybe see if he make a good TE if I needed that, but I also wouldn't consider it a bad move to try to move him to the line as his speed may overcome his size disadvantage to some degree.
