Every pick, and why
Christian McCaffreyR1 · #5 · RB · conf 0.78full record
Christian McCaffrey is the pick because he offers the strongest combination of elite projection, proven scoring, and scarce RB value.
Closest call: Jonathan Taylor was the closest call because he is healthy, depth_chart_order 1, and projects for 272.3 points, but that trails McCaffrey by 18.7 projected points and his 359.9 last-season points trail McCaffrey’s 416.6.
Amon-Ra St. BrownR2 · #12 · WR · conf 0.93full record
Select Amon-Ra St. Brown as the best combination of projection, positional advantage, and availability at pick 12.
Closest call: De'Von Achane was the closest call because RB has a 128.8-point spread_over_replacement, but his 257.4 projection and 54.8-point advantage over RB replacement are both lower than St. Brown's 280.5 projection and 56.5-point advantage over WR replacement; Team E also already has Christian McCaffrey at RB.
Omarion HamptonR3 · #21 · RB · conf 0.82full record
Select Omarion Hampton to secure the strongest remaining value at the scarcer RB position.
Closest call: Justin Jefferson was the closest call because his proj_season_points are 250.4, but that is only 26.4 above the WR replacement_points of 224, while Hampton provides 40.3 points above RB replacement.
Chris OlaveR4 · #28 · WR · conf 0.74full record
Select Chris Olave as the best projected healthy WR before targeting the deeper TE tier at pick 37.
Closest call: Tyler Warren was the closest call because his 201.1 projection is 37.5 above the TE replacement_points of 163.6, but his Questionable status and ADP of 47 make waiting until pick 37 preferable.
Harold FanninR5 · #37 · TE · conf 0.76full record
Draft Harold Fannin to fill Team E’s open TE starter with the strongest available healthy tight-end projection.
Closest call: Breece Hall was the closest call because his proj_season_points is 211, but his 8.4 points over RB replacement of 202.6 trail Fannin’s 16.8, his injury_status is Questionable, and Team E already has RB at 2/2.
Garrett WilsonR6 · #44 · WR · conf 0.78full record
Select Garrett Wilson as a healthy, first-string FLEX option with the strongest risk-adjusted projection.
Closest call: Malik Nabers was the closest call because his proj_season_points of 227.3 lead the available WRs, but his Questionable injury_status adds risk for only 2.4 more projected points than Wilson.
Seattle SeahawksR7 · #53 · DEF · conf 0.82full record
Select the Seattle Seahawks as the strongest available value over positional replacement.
Closest call: Dak Prescott was the closest call because Team E still needs a QB, but his 303.88 projection provides almost no advantage over the 303.42-point replacement level.
Mike EvansR8 · #60 · WR · conf 0.68full record
Select Mike Evans as the strongest remaining bench and FLEX-depth option at pick 60.
Closest call: Quinshon Judkins was the closest call because he is depth_chart_order 1 and the top available RB at 196 projected points, but Evans projects 26.2 points higher and both have injury_status Questionable.
Rome OdunzeR9 · #69 · WR · conf 0.73full record
Select Rome Odunze as the best healthy, first-string skill-position value while comparable quarterbacks should remain available at pick 76.
Closest call: Jameson Williams was the closest call because his last_season_points=219.9 greatly exceed Odunze's 146.1, but Odunze has the higher projection (207.9 versus 206.2) and the stronger listed role (depth_chart_order=1 versus 2).
Dak PrescottR10 · #76 · QB · conf 0.67full record
Select Dak Prescott as the highest-projected available quarterback and fill Team E’s open QB position.
Closest call: Trevor Lawrence was the closest call because he scored 350.2 last_season_points and has a week 7 bye instead of Prescott’s week 14 bye, but his 303.42 projection is slightly below Prescott’s 303.88.
Rhamondre StevensonR11 · #85 · RB · conf 0.74full record
Rhamondre Stevenson is the pick to add the roster’s first reserve running back.
Closest call: DK Metcalf was the closest call because his proj_season_points of 183.3 is 14.3 higher, but his injury_status is Questionable and he would become the roster’s sixth WR while leaving only two RBs.
Tony PollardR12 · #92 · RB · conf 0.76full record
Select Tony Pollard as a healthy, first-string fourth running back before filling kicker at pick 101.
Closest call: Jason Myers was the closest call because his proj_season_points of 164.97 and positional_rank of 4 lead the available kickers, but the remaining kicker depth makes Pollard's first-string RB role more valuable now.
Chris BoswellR13 · #101 · K · conf 0.90full record
pool narrowedSelect Chris Boswell as the highest-projected available kicker.
Closest call: Cameron Dicker was the closest call because his last_season_points of 170 lead this pool, but his proj_season_points of 156.72 and positional_rank 9 trail Boswell's 159.97 and rank 6.
Justin HerbertR14 · #108 · QB · conf 0.78full record
Select Justin Herbert as the strongest available bench insurance at quarterback.
Closest call: I was least sure about Herbert versus Josh Downs, but Downs projects for only 172.3 points and would join an already five-player WR group, while Herbert provides the roster’s only QB depth.
T.J. HockensonR15 · #117 · TE · conf 0.78full record
Select T.J. Hockenson as the roster’s second tight end and final bench player.
Closest call: Jonathon Brooks was the closest call because he projects for 154.9 points and recorded 8 rush_att on 20 off_snaps in preseason, but he has depth_chart_order 2 and would be the roster’s fifth RB rather than covering its only single-player position.

Terry McLaurinR5 · #39 · WR · conf 0.84full record
Select Terry McLaurin as the strongest value at pick 39 while preserving later opportunities to fill quarterback and tight end.
