A $2k Fantasy Football Draft

A.J. Brown goes at pick 208 in this tight end premium format. The source expresses strong enthusiasm about pairing Jahmyr Gibbs with A.J. Brown, calling it 'my dream' and indicating this is a desirable draft construction.

Aaron Jones went off the board early in the draft; Ron Stewart noted this as 'That's a early Aaron Jones,' suggesting the pick came earlier than expected. Later in the draft, Stewart reiterated that Aaron Jones went early, indicating strong demand and early-round selection in this $2k format.

Alvin Kamara was drafted in this $2k fantasy football draft.

Anthony Richardson (Dart) was drafted in this $2k fantasy football draft.

Ashton Jeanty was drafted during the RB run before the source had an opportunity to target him in this $2k tight end premium draft.

The source lists Baker as a superior alternative to Mendoza in a 20-round draft format, indicating Baker is preferred over Mendoza at the quarterback position.

The source would select Bijan Robinson at pick 2 over Ja'Marr Chase even in a three-wide receiver one flex full PPR format, citing concern that running back depth deteriorates significantly by pick 2.11, making securing an elite RB1 more valuable than waiting for a top-tier receiver. The source notes 'You're not going to like the running backs you make it back to the 2.11.'

Blake Corum was taken early in the draft; the source notes that high-stakes players love Corum, suggesting he is a popular and valued target in competitive formats.

Bo Nix was drafted in this $2k fantasy football draft. Bo Nix was selected in the draft, indicating he was available and considered at the quarterback position during the mid-to-late rounds of this $2k fantasy football draft.

Braelon Allen is mentioned in the context of running back depth chart updates during the draft.

Breece Hall is one of Stewart's preferred targets in this draft. Stewart indicates willingness to accept Hall being taken by other drafters ('If you if you're going to take any my guys, take Breece. That's fine by me'), suggesting Hall is a secondary preference compared to other targets but still valued. Hall is a potential decision point at the 3-4 turn alongside Jeremiah Love, indicating both are in consideration range for mid-round RB selection in this draft format. However, Stewart explicitly states he avoids stacking Breece Hall with Garrett Wilson, saying 'I am not trying to get a Breece Hall Garrett Wilson stack,' indicating concern about the pairing on the Jets offense.

Brian Robinson is mentioned in the context of running back depth chart updates during the draft.

Ron Stewart indicated he would prefer Bryan Thomas over Jaylen Warren in a hero RB build, suggesting Thomas as a better value pick at that draft position.

Brock Bowers is a viable pick at pick 3 in tight end premium format, though Stewart personally ranks him around pick 105. His median projection in tight end premium is 18.2 points per game, which is lower than several elite players (Gibbs, McCaffrey, Bijan, Puka, Chase, JSN, Jonathan Taylor), suggesting he should go around picks 108-109 based on projections. However, Stewart acknowledges 'immense upside' and notes that sometimes you must 'stuff the projections in a locker' for Bowers. ETR has him at 107 in this format. Bowers was selected at pick 103 in this tight end premium league (1.5 PPR for tight ends), which Stewart notes is a relatively early tight end selection but contextually appropriate given the league's tight end scoring premium that inflates tight end ADP.

Ron Stewart explicitly endorses Bucky Irving as 'a damn good pick' in the context of this $2k fantasy football draft, indicating strong approval of the selection. Stewart also indicates Irving can be targeted at running back if feeling great everywhere else in the draft, suggesting he offers value as a later-round option.

The source explicitly wanted Carnell Tate at this draft position but he was selected before the source's turn, indicating the source viewed Tate as a target at that draft spot.

CeeDee Lamb was part of a Zero RB strategy in an NFFC format that Stewart explicitly endorsed as 'awesome,' indicating strong approval of the draft construction. Lamb was also part of a draft team that Stewart describes as 'a damn good team as well,' indicating approval of the draft construction. Stewart acknowledges Lamb as a viable alternative pick at the same draft position as James Cook, suggesting both are in the same tier and the choice between them is a matter of strategy preference rather than talent gap. However, Stewart has too much CeeDee Lamb exposure already on his team (he already has Justin Jefferson on the same team), so he is passing on Lamb despite the ranking support to pursue a double hero RB strategy instead.

The source's strategy for Miami skill players is 'Chris Bell or nobody,' indicating Chris Bell is the only Dolphins receiver or running back the source is willing to target in this draft; however, Chris Bell was taken by another drafter before the source's 15-16 turn, prompting disappointment at missing the opportunity.

Chris Godwin was selected off the board during the draft; no explicit stance or reasoning provided by the source.

The source expresses frustration about repeatedly drafting Chris Rodriguez because no one else wants him, indicating he is unpopular in drafts and the source is tired of being forced to take him.

Ron Stewart acknowledges the temptation to force CMC at pick 3 due to fear of running back scarcity at 1.03, but explicitly rejects this approach: 'I just can't do it. I just think Ja'Marr Chase is too clean,' indicating a strong preference for Chase over CMC at that draft position.

Ron Stewart selects Christian Watson as a strong pick, noting 'it's very easy going Christian Watson.' Stewart expresses growing confidence in Watson, stating 'I'm really coming around on Christian Watson, man,' and later praises the 'awesome double tap' of Watson paired with Harold Fannin. Watson was selected from the 12 spot as part of an early-round receiver strategy.

The source identifies Hubbard as his highest ranked player available at the 9-10 turn and drafts him; notes Hubbard is trending towards week one availability while Brooks sits out with soreness, making this an attractive pick despite sharing a bye week with Kenneth Walker.

Loveland is falling to the late rounds in this tight end premium format, going around pick 208. Stewart expresses surprise at how late he is being selected despite tight end scarcity in the format.

Colston Loveland was part of a Zero RB strategy in an NFFC format that Ron Stewart explicitly endorsed as 'awesome,' indicating strong approval of the draft construction. Later, Loveland appears in a zero-RB build alongside St. Brown, Nico Collins, Jalen Wilson, and Jamo Williams through flex, with Ramondre Stevenson added later; Ron Stewart describes this as 'a very strong team for a zero RB,' his preferred version of the strategy.

The source indicates strong preference for Cyrus Allen at that draft turn, stating 'we're for sure taking Cyrus Allen to Mahomes here,' before ultimately pivoting to quarterback.

When comparing DJ Moore to Jordan Price, Ron Stewart states 'I think I have DJ Moore ranked ahead,' indicating a preference for Moore's draft value and ranking.

Ron Stewart prefers receiver value over D'Andre Swift at his draft position in a zero-RB build context. Stewart states 'I probably go receiver over Swift there' and notes he would have passed on Swift in favor of Garrett Wilson or other receivers, though acknowledges 'I like Swift as well.' The preference reflects a strategic choice for receiver upside over Swift at that particular draft juncture.

Ron Stewart identifies De'Andre Swift as a preferred target in the late fourth round as part of his ideal draft strategy, suggesting he offers strong value at that stage. Stewart would target Swift in the late four and then 'roll from there,' indicating confidence in the pick's positioning.

Ron Stewart mentioned D'Onta Foreman as an alternative pick he would consider instead of Jaylen Warren, indicating Foreman as a viable option at that draft stage.

Dallas Goedert was selected during the draft; the source's reaction suggests mild acceptance or acknowledgment of the pick.

The source is light on Waller and not excited about Chargers tight ends generally, noting that tight end positions rotate heavily week-to-week making no Chargers tight end startable on a weekly basis; best ball stabs are possible but the source expresses no enthusiasm for any of them.

Davante Adams was part of a Zero RB strategy in an NFFC format that Ron Stewart explicitly endorsed as 'awesome,' indicating strong approval of the draft construction alongside receivers like Lamb and Jefferson.

The source explicitly states 'If Montgomery's the guy you needed, I'll I'll see y'all in 2027, man' and refuses to take Montgomery over receivers like Rome, Parker, and Washington, indicating strong skepticism about Montgomery's draft value and preference for wide receivers in his tier.

David Njoku (Okonkwo) was selected in the draft, indicating mid-round demand for tight ends.

Derrick Henry is selected as part of a strong team build following Trey McBride, with the source expressing satisfaction with the overall roster construction.

The source notes that Devonte Smith went before Rashee Rice in the draft, with Devonte going at pick 308.

Ron Stewart identified DK Metcalf as a target pick in his $2k draft, stating 'one of these picks is going to be DK Metcalf for sure' and subsequently selected him from the 12 spot, indicating confidence in the pick at that draft position. Metcalf was part of Stewart's early-round receiver strategy alongside Rashee Rice, Jaylen Waddle, and Christian Watson.

Ron Stewart ranks D.K. Metcalf over Michael Pittman in PPR scoring, citing better projection and downfield upside. Stewart notes that Metcalf 'projects better and he has like downfield upside, whereas like Pittman's more of like a low floor PPR high floor PPR guy.' Stewart expects McCarthy's offense to throw more now that Arthur Smith is gone, giving Metcalf more juice and combining both high floor and ceiling.

The source ranks Drake London below Nico Collins but above Neighbors in the Falcons receiver hierarchy; the source expresses skepticism about double-stacking the Falcons offense, stating 'I have Nico ranked over London already, but yeah, I'm not dying to stack up two Falcons like that,' indicating preference for Collins over London when choosing between Falcons pass catchers.

Drake May was taken earlier in the draft; the source notes his selection without expressing a strong opinion on the pick itself.

The source ranks Drake Maye in the same tier as Jalen Hurts and notes that Maye outscored Hurts last year, supporting the ranking parity.

Emmett Johnson was drafted in this $2k fantasy football draft.

Ron Stewart explicitly avoids stacking Garrett Wilson with Breece Hall, stating 'I am not trying to get a Breece Hall Garrett Wilson stack,' indicating concern about the pairing on the Jets offense.

Greg Dulcich was selected in the draft, indicating he was available and considered at the tight end position during the mid-to-late rounds.

Ron Stewart selects Harold Fannin as his tight end pick, noting he projects for 13.6 points per game versus Odunze's 12.5. Stewart emphasizes Fannin is 'the perfect pick in this format' due to tight end premium with juice for receptions, and later calls the Watson-Fannin pairing 'an awesome double tap,' indicating strong synergy in his draft construction.

The source strongly prefers Ja'Marr Chase over Christian McCaffrey at pick 3, stating 'I just think Ja'Marr Chase is too clean,' indicating elite regard for Chase's profile. Chase was drafted at pick 1.01 in this draft and the source notes he has the Chase-Tee Higgins-Joe Burrow stack set up, which is 'amazing' to start with. The source identifies Chase as a preferred early-round target, ranking him third overall (after Gibbs and Bijan) in this format, and would target him in the early rounds as part of a preferred draft strategy. The source would also acquire Chase as part of the Bengals stack (with Tee Higgins and Burrow) but would swap it for the Chiefs stack (Kenneth Walker, Rashee Rice, Mahomes).

Jahmyr Gibbs is the source's preferred opening pick in this tight end premium format. The source expresses strong enthusiasm about pairing Gibbs with A.J. Brown, calling it 'my dream' and indicating this is an ideal draft start. Gibbs is also selected as part of a strong team build following James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Olave, and Ladd McConkey, with the source expressing satisfaction with the overall roster construction.

Jaylen Brooks has been sliding in drafts because of soreness; Ron Stewart notes this as context for round six draft movement, indicating the injury concern is affecting his draft capital.

Jalen Nailor (JSN) was drafted and Ron Stewart notes the team 'goes JSN, Lamb, Jeremiah Love' and describes it as 'a damn good team as well,' indicating approval of the draft construction.

Stewart identifies James Cook as the correct decision according to his rankings and is planning to draft him as part of a double hero RB strategy; he emphasizes 'we're for certain going to go James Cook' and wants to establish a run on running backs at the turn to set the tone for the draft. Stewart advocates for pairing Cook with Kenneth Walker as an opening one-two RB tap to establish early run dominance and secure value before the league pivots away from running backs, calling it 'an awesome one-two tap here.' Cook was taken at 1.12 and described as a gift value; Stewart had been frustrated with the 1.12 spot's lack of value but considers both Cook at 1.12 and Rashee Rice at 3.12 as gifts he is appreciative of.

Javonte Williams is one of the source's target players in this draft. The source explicitly pleads for other drafters to take him ('Please take Javonte. I'm begging you to take Javonte'), indicating strong interest and belief in his value. However, Williams was already selected before the source's turn. Later, Williams is taken at 2.10 over Ashton Jeanty, and the source questions this decision, implying the drafter let someone else make the pick ('You let your friend draft for you') and marking it as a tough/questionable choice.

Jaden Reed is ranked ahead of Sribbling by the source but the source already has multiple teams with Reed, so he passed on Reed in favor of Sribbling for roster diversity.

Waddle is a key target for Ron Stewart in this $2k draft format. Stewart has built two Waddle teams from this exact draft spot compared to only one CeeDee Lamb team, indicating a slight preference for Waddle in the Waddle vs. Lamb decision, which Stewart describes as 'really tough.' Stewart is actively trying to 'keep getting Waddle' in draft constructions. Waddle was selected at the 12 spot as part of an early-round receiver strategy alongside James Cook, Kenneth Walker, and Rashee Rice.

Ron Stewart expresses skepticism about Jaylen Warren's draft value, stating 'I don't know that I go Warren and Battle like this' and indicating he would target Bryan Thomas instead in a hero RB build. Stewart prefers to go elsewhere rather than draft Warren, citing difficulty in determining which running back will emerge in a crowded backfield situation.

Jeremiah Love is evaluated positively by Stewart as 'a damn good pick' in this draft context, indicating Stewart views him as a strong value or breakout candidate at his draft position. Love is a potential decision point at the 3-4 turn alongside Breece Hall, indicating both are in consideration range for mid-round RB selection in this draft format. Love was part of a draft team that Stewart describes as 'a damn good team as well,' indicating approval of the draft construction. Stewart identifies Love as a preferred target in the late fourth round as part of a preferred draft strategy, suggesting he offers value at that stage.

Joe Burrow was taken off the board in the draft. Stewart noted that another drafter stacked Burrow with Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, and commented 'Everything else I think he he did perfectly' regarding the overall team construction. Stewart would trade the Bengals stack (Burrow, Chase, Higgins) for the Chiefs stack (Patrick Mahomes, Rashee Rice, Kenneth Walker), indicating a preference for the Chiefs stack over the Bengals stack.

The source identifies Jonathan Brooks as one of the biggest risers in the offseason not due to injury, alongside Parker Washington.

Ron Stewart selected Jordan Love at the 13-14 turn with conviction, stating 'I think Love is the correct pick,' indicating he viewed Love as the optimal choice at that draft position. Stewart later expressed some regret about not taking a tight end like Hockenson over Love, but acknowledged it was acceptable given the draft context and the availability of other quarterbacks.

Josh Downs is ranked ahead of Sribbling by the source but the source already has multiple teams with Downs, so he passed on Downs in favor of Sribbling for roster diversity.

For running back upside in the final eight weeks of the season, Jacobs should be targeted around round 9-10. Stewart has used Jacobs in a zero-RB build at this draft range previously and has a similar Zero RB team with 'literally Henderson and Jacobs in a very similar setup.' Jacobs was selected in round seven on a hero RB build, which Stewart views neutrally ('I don't hate it'), though it's not his personal preference.

Justin Jefferson was part of a Zero RB strategy in an NFFC format that Ron Stewart explicitly endorsed as 'awesome,' indicating strong approval of the draft construction. Stewart previously drafted Jefferson from the 12 spot in a prior Main Event draft but is reconsidering repeating that pick from the same position in this draft, wanting to avoid overlapping with his prior 12-spot strategy.

The source drafts Juwan Johnson and describes him as 'an awesome pick' with potential flex utility; views him as essentially functioning as a wide receiver in the team's offense, suggesting he provides receiver-like value despite being a tight end.

Ron Stewart hoped to draft Kaelen Black but discovered the player had been selected much earlier in the draft, indicating Black was off the board well before Stewart's turn. The source's surprise at Black's early departure suggests the player was undervalued on Stewart's board relative to actual draft market demand.

Keaton Mitchell was drafted in this $2k fantasy football draft.

Stewart wants to draft Kenneth Walker as part of a double hero RB strategy at the turn, pairing him with James Cook; he emphasizes 'I want more Kenneth Walker' and notes this would be the first true double hero RB start he's attempted in this setup, suggesting he believes the strategy is fun and viable in this league format. Stewart advocates for pairing Walker with Cook as an opening one-two RB tap to establish early run dominance and secure value before the league pivots away from running backs. Stewart has Kenneth Walker paired with Rashee Rice on the Chiefs and notes 'that's fine by me,' indicating comfort with the stack on a good offense. However, Stewart notes that stacking Walker with Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce creates overlap in the same part of the field, making it unlikely all three would smash in a given season.

Ron Stewart expressed enthusiasm for Kyle Pitts in the draft context, stating 'I'm Fanning over Pitts. I'm Fanning over Pitts personally,' though he grouped Pitts in the same tier as other tight end options, indicating favorable but not differentiated value.

The source lists Kyler as a superior alternative to Mendoza in a 20-round draft format, indicating Kyler is preferred over Mendoza at the quarterback position. The source mentions Kyler Murray as a quarterback option that could still be available at the 15-16 turn, indicating he was not yet drafted at that point.

Jackson was taken at 4.10, which Stewart describes as 'the earliest Lamar I've seen.' His ADP is mid-sixth round, making the 4.10 selection a significant reach. This represents early quarterback investment but potentially valuable if the drafter is comfortable with the strategy.

Ron Stewart calls Malachi Fields a snub, indicating he was overlooked in the draft discussion and would have been a preferred pick. Stewart notes 'Can't believe I didn't mention Malachi Fields,' expressing regret at not including him in his top 10 player discussion.

Malik Davis was selected in the draft, indicating he was available and considered at the running back position.

Malik Washington is mentioned in the context of running back depth chart updates during the draft.

The source lists Malik Willis as a superior alternative to Mendoza in a 20-round draft format, indicating Willis is preferred over Mendoza at the quarterback position.

Stewart expressed skepticism about Mark Andrews, stating 'I think Andrews is washed, man. His per route stuff has been really bad. He really hasn't been good outside of like a lot of touchdowns in 2024 and then like his one spike year in 2021. And outside of that, it's been a little bit rough.' This indicates concern about Andrews' underlying efficiency metrics and sustainability of his 2024 production.

The source considers Marvin Harrison Jr. as an alternative option in the draft but ultimately chooses other players, indicating he was a viable consideration but not the preferred selection at that point.

The source lists Stafford as a superior alternative to Mendoza in a 20-round draft format, indicating Stafford is preferred over Mendoza at the quarterback position. The source mentions Matthew Stafford as a quarterback option that could still be available at the 15-16 turn, indicating he was not yet drafted at that point.

The source characterizes Pittman as a low-floor, high-ceiling PPR player, ranking him below Metcalf and noting he lacks the downfield upside that Metcalf offers.

Stewart stated he is 'all set on Michael Wilson,' indicating he had sufficient exposure to the player and did not target him in the draft. Michael Wilson subsequently went off the board.

Mike Evans went off the board during the draft, noted in passing by the source.

Nick Chubb was selected off the board during the draft; no explicit stance or reasoning provided by the source.

Ron Stewart ranks Nico Collins above Drake London among Texans receivers and prefers him in tier-based stacking strategy with elite quarterbacks like CJ Stroud. Collins is featured prominently in a zero-RB build alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown, Colston Loveland, Jalen Wilson, and Jamo Williams through flex, with Ramondre Stevenson added later; Stewart describes this as a very strong zero-RB team and his preferred version of the strategy.

Washington is identified as one of the biggest risers in the offseason not due to injury, alongside Jonathan Brooks. Stewart prefers Parker Washington over Alec Pierce in flex situations. Washington was taken at 4.12 in this draft, and Stewart expresses strong approval ('Oh, I love Parker Washington, man'), noting that in high-stakes leagues, Washington's draft position is volatile and unpredictable.

Pat Bryant is mentioned in the context of running back depth chart updates during the draft.

Ron Stewart selected Patrick Mahomes as a clear choice at his draft position (3783-3822), calling it 'Mahomes without a doubt.' Stewart repeatedly emphasized conviction in stacking Kansas City players, stating 'I promise you'll never go broke spamming Chiefs, man,' and would swap Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Joe Burrow for Kenneth Walker, Rashee Rice, and Mahomes. However, Stewart later declined to double-tap Mahomes at quarterback due to heavy Chiefs exposure elsewhere on the roster (Kenneth Walker, Rashee Rice), indicating caution about concentration risk despite strong preference for the Chiefs stack.

The source is asked via super chat whether Bowers' price is sharp down; the source responds that Bowers probably sharpens down and looks fair on paper, but notes difficulty in assessment without knowing lineup depth. Quentin Johnston is noted as going in the draft at the 7-8 turn; the source is not super interested in targeting him at that price point.

The source was looking at Rachaad White as a draft target, noting surprise that he was still available later than expected and considering him a viable mid-round pick.

Raheem Mostert was mentioned as a player people wanted to see selected at this draft position, indicating he was a viable alternative option.

Rashee Rice is selected in this draft despite the source not being 'even a Rashee Rice guy.' The source justifies the pick based on ADP value: 'his ADP in these is like mid third,' making him a good value at his draft position. The source initially marked him as an avoid on the draft guide but explains that avoid designation means ranked lower than ADP, not a hard pass—when Rice falls as the highest-ranked available player in his tier, he should be drafted despite the avoid tag. The source notes that Rice has averaged 17+ points per game in every game played since his rookie bye week, though the source expects this production to decline; at a certain price point, the source is willing to take him. The source has Rice paired with Kenneth Walker on the Chiefs and notes 'that's fine by me,' indicating comfort with the stack on a good offense. However, the source also notes that stacking Rice with Kenneth Walker and Travis Kelce creates overlap in the same part of the field, making it unlikely all three would smash in a given season.

The source identifies R.J. Harvey as an awesome pick in the ninth round, indicating strong value and willingness to sprint to draft him.

Ron Stewart considers Roma Odunze as an alternative to Christian Watson but ultimately chooses tight end instead. Odunze projects for 12.5 points per game, lower than Harold Fannin's 13.6 PPG, which influenced Stewart's decision to prioritize Fannin in this tight-end-premium format.

Moore has been ranked highly on Stewart's board for a long time. Stewart did not move Moore up based on recent 20-plus carry news, indicating the positive role development was already priced into his ranking.

Diggs is in direct competition with Jaylen Waddle at this draft spot. Stewart has only one Diggs team versus two Waddle teams, creating portfolio saturation that makes Waddle the preferred pick in this draft position. The Waddle vs. Diggs decision is described as close, but portfolio management favors Waddle to avoid overexposure to Diggs.

The source expresses strong consideration of T.J. Hockenson at that draft turn, stating 'I just don't know if I can pass on Hockenson in this format, man,' indicating the tight end was a compelling option in this specific draft format.

Tank Bigsby was drafted by the 4 spot, which Ron Stewart praises as 'crushing their draft,' noting the 4 spot has 'Ja'Marr Chase, Amari Hampton, Malik Neighbors, Tee Higgins, Tank Bigsby.' Stewart also indicates Bigsby can be targeted at running back if feeling great everywhere else in the draft, suggesting he offers value as a later-round option.

Ron Stewart notes the 4 spot drafter has the Chase-Tee Higgins-Joe Burrow stack set up and 'is probably going to pull the trigger on that in round seven on the way back,' indicating approval of the stacking strategy. However, Stewart would trade Tee Higgins and Joe Burrow (Bengals stack) for Rashee Rice and Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs stack), indicating the Chiefs stack is preferred over the Bengals stack at this draft stage.

In tight end premium scoring, the source notes Ferguson has utility as a yards and touchdowns guy rather than a reception-focused player, making him less of a pure reception target.

Terry McLaurin was drafted during the 5-6 turn, and Ron Stewart notes 'There goes McLaurin. I think we're going to see wide receivers rip a little bit,' suggesting McLaurin's selection signals increased wide receiver demand in the draft.

Ron Stewart considered Travis Kelce as a projection-leading option but declined to draft him due to already having significant Chiefs exposure via Rashee Rice and Kenneth Walker. Stewart expresses concern that 'Kelce might just be straight washed, man' and notes that stacking Kelce with Rice and Walker creates overlap in the same part of the field, making it unlikely all three would smash in a given season. Stewart mentions he would 'go all in on the Chiefs with Travis Kelce on the way back' only as a fallback if he had passed on tight end earlier.

The source was considering Trevion Henderson but notes the current vibes around him are not good, indicating negative sentiment regarding his draft prospects.

Ron Stewart called Trevor Lawrence a 'good pick' when selected in this $2k draft, indicating approval of the quarterback selection at that draft stage.

Trey McBride projects for 18.2 points per game in tight end premium format, identical to Brock Bowers, but goes significantly later in drafts. Stewart notes McBride had 'an all-time tight end season last year' and identifies a 'gripe with the Trey McBride price' given the pricing discrepancy between him and Bowers despite identical projections. Stewart identifies McBride as a great pick in tight end premium format, indicating strong value and fit for the league scoring system. Stewart passed on him in this draft because he already has a McBride team from this exact draft spot in this format.

Trey Sermon was selected off the board during the draft, indicating he was available and considered at the running back position.

Tucker Kraft was selected in this $2k fantasy football draft and Ron Stewart explicitly endorsed the pick as 'Good pick. Good pick,' indicating strong approval of the draft decision.

Ron Stewart selected Tyler Allgeier in the draft as a mid-round running back option, viewing him as a potential fill-in for Kenneth Walker if there is a slow start early in the season. Stewart debated between Allgeier and Jacoby Lane at this pick but chose Allgeier, though expressed some uncertainty about whether passing on Lane would be regretted.

Woody Marks was selected in the draft around the 11-12 turn, indicating mid-round demand.

Xavier Worthy was taken in the draft, indicating he was being selected in the mid-round range during this $2k draft.

Flowers is Stewart's most-drafted receiver until Mecole Hardman, indicating heavy portfolio saturation. Despite loving the player, Stewart explicitly avoids Flowers in this draft (his 17th) due to overexposure requiring portfolio management. Stewart states he has 'way too much' Flowers already and notes that he would have sprinted to take both Rashee Rice and Flowers together if not for existing saturation. Flowers was available at the 3-4 turn but Stewart passed in favor of Rice.
