Mock Draft Analysis
As mentioned above, there were a few targets that were must-haves in this draft. Those players Bijan Robinson, Justin Jefferson and Sam LaPorta. Patrick Mahomes is a possibility for this category, however the main focus was the aforementioned trio. The focus then shifted to drafting players within the budget.
The constraints made things difficult especially at the RB2 spot. However, Chase Brown fell later in the draft at just $3 and slotted into the RB2 position.
The running backs on the bench will provide enough support when bye weeks occur. Besides, the wide receiver depth should make up for lack of production at RB2 anyways. Hunter Henry and Jayden Daniels can hold down the fort when Patrick Mahomes and Sam LaPorta have byes.
Overall, this draft earns a B+ grade. Running backs are the only real concern here with Robinson doing some heavy lifting.
