Bucky Irving
I am concerned about Gainwell and Tucker. Bucky is a smaller back, it was always the question, can he sustain the lead? I think Gainwell will take some valuable passing away from him, but ultimately, this was a back we drafted in round 2 last year. He is going too late.

My model loves Bucky with the role he had last year. The keys to success are here. This is one of the biggest gaps in model vs my feelings. He ends up above ADP and is worth the risk in the end.
