An anchor running back best ball mania draft out of the 110 where we hit some mid-round-wide

receivers for the first time in our early drafting and have a really fun discussion about the late round rookie running backs. That's what we're talking about today on this episode of stealing banana shorts. I'm Ben Gretch. You can find stealing signals newsletter at benggresh.substack.com with me as always is Sean Siegel. Find all of his great work over at Rodeviz. Let's jump into the start of the draft.

Then I put us into a draft to make sure we didn't have to wait a ton, and it has now filled.

So we're going to head back over there, and I was going to say, I hope we have a top two pick

or top three pick, but we have the 110. We're back to the 110, same spot that

we drafted our first draft today from, as we fire up our third draft, we had done the 106 in

between. It would have been really fun to get in one of those early three spots as well. But that's

all right. This 110 was, as far as we were just getting done talking

through our draft from the 106, as far as how that played out, we liked it, but offered some

different challenges and some things. And we ended up with the early running back, well,

third round running back, but anchor running back. And it was a great value on Kairn. But being in a little bit of a different position with our build from there, everything felt a lot more comfortable from the late draft spot, I would say. And so if I had to pick whether we would double up a 110 today or a 106, I would have raised to the podium to say that I would like to draft from the 110 again.

That was so much fun the first time around.

One of the things there, Sean, on our first draft, we passed over Pooka and Okua for Garrett Wilson.

Matthew Stafford fell a little bit in that draft.

We ended up doing Garrett Wilson with Aaron Rogers.

I had wanted to maybe ask some thoughts from you, but I think I like Stafford more than Rogers for a variety of reasons.

But that potential to then backstack either of those quarterbacks when you go with their

star in the first because they are sort of the end of a certain QB veteran QB window.

There's some late youth upside.

Anyway, as we made those QB decisions later, I saw some of the argument for having

just taken Puka at the beginning, potentially.

We are one pickaway.
