Let's say I take Cushing at #2 and Hodges isn't there at #4. Is there a reason you wouldn't reach for the other CB at 4? He seems like a stud with amazing physical tools, and at 22-years old I should be able to improve his coverage, no?

Tutt is a stud, but I think you could trade back and still get him slightly later in the first round. Up to you. Wouldn't take that OLB in the top 5 personally, though he does look like a very good player who is likely at least 78 OVR.

Here's the thing, the league is 26 users deep. Probably not going to be able to trade back from here, and if I did, Tutt would be gone. There's no other good CBs.

So I guess the question is, what's a better combo. Cushing + Tutt, or Hodges + Newell (If I can't secure the dream of Cushing + Hodges).

Also - from your experience, does the CPU do a good job of drafting QBs above their projected round instead of their TVR/scouted value? Cushing is a 2nd round pick in projections before scouting. Before scouting he's the 3rd best available, and there is one guy that's a 1st before scouting and still a late first after. What are the chances the Chargers take a QB other than Cushing if they do indeed take a QB at 3?

Just signed Malcolm Butler in free agency, my second corner right now is like a 70. I suppose I could take Tutt at 4, but I feel like Riddle is just considerably better if I take Cushing at 2 and Hodges is gone by 4.

I see the quarterback has a 2nd round projection, so i believe he will be there at #4. I would do the corner with your #2, you would now be SET at the corner position with him and Butler.

I think you'll get your guys bro, but if not, I'd do Hodges + Newell.

That's where I'm leaning right now too. Hodges just strikes me as a generational prospect

Yeah he's definitely going to be Revis Island like!

Absolutely. I've got over 150 CB prospects on my big analysis sheet I use to tweak the criteria and TVR weightings, and he is the top CB (almost 2 TVR points) if you ignore TVR modifiers for age etc. etc.

I actually think the CPU will take him at #1, in all honesty. He's a rare talent.

No kidding... now I'll really be kicking myself if the CPU pulls the trigger on him at #1, but I guess if that happens I'll go Cushing and then Tutt.

How does Tutt compare to those 150+ CBs on your analysis sheet?
