Ok, so you have to draft one of them. You have an expansion team and they are both the last two players on the board. Marshall Faulk and Aaron Donald. Both in their prime.
Yes, i know. But, those are the rules. Think of it as an honorary Jack P Miller question.
Faulk or Donald.
Sigh. I dunno.
Its harder to find HOF DTs….and obviously either pick is perfect. But, I’m gonna go with Marshall. I dunno why.
My head just works that way. You don’t need one of the elite RBs of all time to field a good offense. Whereas adding Donald is a great start to building a good defense.
I’d take Donald as well. But Faulk was amazing. Not so much in the playoffs, though. He seemed less effective in the postseason. Not sure why. Probably the D was even more focused on nullifying his game.
Another reason to take Donald: more likely to give you more years. Unless this is build-a-team for just one season, you’re likely to have Donald at his peak for longer.
