Round 4

It didn't take long for the first surprise of Round 2 to come. Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans was the first pick of the round, coming off the board as RB7—a full 2.5 rounds earlier than his average draft position.


Some will no doubt call this pick a reach. And it's admittedly drafting him closer to his ceiling than his floor—I have talked up Kamara as a value pick much of the summer, but that was as a high-end fantasy RB2 being drafted in the middle of Round 4.


But when picking on the turn, fantasy managers have to consider there will be 20-plus selections made between their picks. It's not a huge stretch logically to posit that Kamara might not be there at 3.12. And the 29-year-old was a top-five running back in terms of PPR points per game a year ago.


Was it an optimal use of draft capital? Maybe not. But the only person who has to live with your selections on draft day is you.
