"At this, I am Mozart." That sentence made me laugh out loud at 5:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning. Keep up the good work--both as a good dad and a wonderful fantasy football analyst.
That comment about late Round 2 feeling like "eating your vegetables" is so spot-on--I've thought most of Round 2 felt overpriced, but there weren't really any players I thought should be going ahead of those guys (aside from Drake London, before the Kirk Cousins signing becoming official brought him to a more appropriate price IMO). Nico was a huge target for me most of the offseason until the Diggs trade happened, London remains a target, and outside of that the only R2 picks I'm excited about have been Achane (massive spike week potential) and Kyren (who I view as a sneaky winner for evading all of the FA vets). Aside from that, there are guys who I think are overvalued (Barkley, Taylor, Diggs, Moore for me), but the rest are guys that are probably appropriately valued given the alternatives. I just can't get excited enough about any of them to justify being anything other than even with the field on them.
The contrast to the Round 3 guys is pretty stark--I want as much of the three receivers you pointed out (Olave, Nabers, and Waddle) as I can get my hands on at cost. Deebo, too, when he falls to R3, and Dell was also in this bucket until the trade. Maybe we can hope for an Aiyuk trade to unlock two more players as exciting options rather than due diligence pieces.
Looking forward to the 5,000 word strategy guide on maximizing EV at amusement parks
