Summary

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) break down George Pickens' trade to the Cowboys before conducting their first best ball draft of the spring. On the Pickens front, they like the fit, but what about the player? In the draft, the debates fire up early, beginning with Puka Nacua vs. Ashton Jeanty in Round 1. Is Broncos rookie RB RJ Harvey a "must have"? Is it ludicrous to put Ladd McConkey on the same plane as AJ Brown? They also get in the weeds on insurance running backs and upside tight ends and get really, really upset at a Michael Pittman Jr. autopick.
