Adam Teicher completely screws up the NFL Nation redraft

First of all I hate the premise of this article because it imagines a world where we don't have Patrick Mahomes. But also check out Adam Teicher's draft:

Round 1 (32): Stephon Gilmore, CB
Round 2 (33): Dalvin Cook, RB
Round 3 (96): Nick Chubb, RB
Round 4 (97): Tyrod Taylor, QB

I was guided by the "best player available" philosophy throughout and was pleasantly surprised at the availability of the NFL's top cornerback in Gilmore and a couple of versatile backs in Cook and Chubb. But having seen how the draft unfolded, I made a mistake in waiting until my second wave of back-to-back picks to get my quarterback.

I anticipated a better selection of QBs being available when I passed the first time around, and I was wrong. Instead of Cook, I should have gone for a veteran like Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr or Jared Goff, or even a younger player like Justin Herbert or Jarrett Stidham. But now I'm stuck with a journeyman at the game's most important position, and I'm afraid I'm doomed to a lowly record and a much higher draft pick next year. -- Teicher

Stat to know: Virtually the opposite of the real-life Chiefs, this Kansas City team will be run-heavy. It features a backfield with last year's second-ranked (Chubb) and seventh-ranked (Cook) rushers in rushing yards per game. And when he was a starter from 2015 to '17, Taylor's 1,575 rushing yards and 14 rushing TDs trailed only Cam Newton among QBs.

Mike Clay's draft grade: Tier 4. Starting with the league's best corner was great, but back-to-back running backs and a 30-year-old borderline backup QB is problematic.

Hey Adam..... **** u!!!!!!!

Yeah I just read that. Pretty terrible draft. But I expected nothing less when I opened it.

Just a quick glance it looks like he coulda had Honey Badger instead of Nick Chubb. Or coulda taken Josh Allen early and gotten Chubb instead of Cook. It's pretty brutal drafting 32/33.

How the **** does he still have a job. This is crazy.

It's not just that our picks suck. It's just a terrible concept. And I could probably forgive ending up with tyrod based on the format but taking rbs back to back is stupid for this exercise.

I think it's brilliant. He's sucking so we can draft Lawrence!

Dalvin Cook was a horrible ****ing pick. He should be put to death for that pick.

From what I've gathered he just follows other people on twitter and retweets when they break news.

I am generally against the death penalty except in this case!!!!!! (Also all Patriots fans should be executed)

Teicher's draft was like he didn't even give a shit and just picked whatever.

But it's still almost as good as the Denver guy's draft. Drew Lock with the first pick (lmao), Travis Kelce, Isaiah Simmons, Courtland Sutton. What a dumb homer.

[Rain Man]

Ronnie Stanley was the sixth pick in the entire draft? Really? Sixth pick?

And I'm laughing at the Bronco guy who picked Drew Lock 15th overall. There's a fair amount of homerism as you look at the list, but that's pretty much tops.
