Sleepers + Draft Day Fears, Dad Jokes

Floyd says:

Here’s a case that Adam Thielen is being drafted way too late. He just turned 32 so all you hear is that he’s too old. He was redshirted in college, playing occasionally in his next two years against lesser, D2 opponents. He was on the practice squad for the Vikings in his rookie year, playing occasionally in his next two seasons. There’s lost of tread left on his tires.

The injury issue comes up as well, but if you look at last year’s ankle injury against the Lions, was it that he gets injured a lot or because of the hit he took? Last set of arguments— assuming that other teams are going to be worried most about stopping Jefferson and Dalvin Cook, there will be a lot of single coverage for a guy who always gets open and almost always catches it. With Cousins trust of Thielen, especially in the
Red zone, should he be moved up most draft boards? He’ll be a ppr sleeper, with td’s scattered throughout the year.

Thanks,

Floyd
