I figured I'd finally take a stab at one of these. I'm not an expert at the cap stuff, but I tried to be realistic. Feel free to flame away or let me know what I'm missing. I wanted a bit of insurance for Pacheco with how aggressively he runs, so I had us spend a little extra on a guy like Zach Moss, who I think can split the load and also step up if Pacheco has to miss a few games.
My goal with the draft was infusing athleticism across the board, so I focused on guys who I thought would bring athleticism or power to the team. I modeled our trade up in the second roughly after what it took us to move up in the 2023 draft.
