I think you double listed Bolton.

I really like the Harmon, Tuten, and Stutsman picks

Umm yes please?

Love Harmon, Amos, and Tuten, so this is an easy sell for me.

That draft would make me shoot 2 cups of prime love honey. Stutsman is the cherry on top of it too. Like him a ton

Very solid.

Harmon and Jones would wreck O-lines next to each other.

Spags wet dream draft right here.
