Rookie draft strategy and late round rookie values. That's what we're talking about today on stealing bananas.

I'm Ben Gretsch from my newsletter. I'm at Ben Gresh.com. With me, as always, is Sean Siegel.

You can find all of his work at Rodeviz.

And Sean, when we left off earlier this week, we were doing our rookie draft.

I got a little feedback that it was almost hard to follow all of the trades that we made

and how much energy we put into moving around the board

and to anyone who had that feedback i once again must compliment you for helping us manage that

draft i thought you know it went really well for me where you did all the work and i got to reap

all the benefits of being a very active uh manager, which is a huge benefit.

But we had a ton of picks.

And I guess just to update to the point where we were at in the rookie draft, we had

taken Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Sky Moore, David Bell, Wondell Robinson in the second round, and then in the third, we got,

oh, we were about to be up in the third.

So we got through to 304.

We had traded back a little bit.

We had some targets we were alluding to.

We were one pick away.

And so we wanted to start by kind of updating on the late round targets that we wound up

grabbing.

And Ben gives me a little bit too much credit there.

We've obviously been discussing all these picks.

And it has been a lot of fun to do this with Ben.
