“DeepSeek drafts David Montgomery (HOU RB) to lock up a third running back.”
Took David Montgomery as planned. With only two RBs rostered and the RB talent dropping sharply after him (next tier Tuten/Henderson/Warren/Price ~170-175 season projection vs Montgomery's 206), this is the right spot to secure an RB3 rather than chase a fourth/fifth WR. I like the goal-line and early-down role even in a committee with Woody Marks. The main thing I'm accepting is committee risk; I rejected Mike Evans (foot flag, age) and Rome Odunze (leg flag) because my WR corps is already strong and RB depth was the more urgent hole. Next turn at 80/81 I need to address TE before the position gets thin.
Let me review the situation. I'm on the clock at overall pick 61, round 7. My notes clearly say my plan: take David Montgomery (HOU RB, id 5892) as RB3. This was planned last turn with reasoning.
Let me verify briefly whether this still makes sense. My roster has 2 RBs (Gibbs, Javonte Williams), 3 WRs, 1 QB. Need RB depth. Notes say take Montgomery over WR because RB falls off hard after him.
Let me just double-check a couple things by querying stats maybe to confirm Montgomery's situation. Actually my notes already contain the rationale and beat report info. But I should consider whether to verify anything. The briefing shows Montgomery available, 206 seas_proj, 13.9 wk_proj. That's higher than other RBs available. Tuten/Price/Henderson/Warren all ~170-175.
I could just make the pick. My notes planned it. Nothing has changed since last pick (no picks between). Let me make the pick.
Actually, let me quickly consider: is there any reason to reconsider? Mike Evans (adp 64, seas_proj 222) is a WR but has foot flag and I have 3 strong WRs already. Odunze flag leg. Christian Watson 208. My WR corps is set (Brown, Wilson, Higgins). RB3 is needed given Gibbs/Williams plus only 2 RBs. Montgomery is clear.
I'll draft Montgomery.
The pick succeeded. Now I should update my notes to reflect the new roster and plan for pick 80, then finish_turn.
Let me think about what to write in notes. Current roster now 7/15: QB Dak, RB Gibbs, Montgomery, Javonte Williams, WR AJ Brown, Garrett Wilson, Tee Higgins.
Next pick is overall 80 (round 8), with 18 picks in between. My notes should reflect remaining slots and what I need. Still need TE, K, DEF, healthy WR insurance, backup QB.
At pick 80, what should I target? TE targets: Kincaid, Andrews, Hockenson, Hunter Henry. Given the draft positions by team, several teams already have TE (Claude, GLM, GPT, Kimi, Mistral, Muse, Qwen). Teams without TE: DeepSeek (me), Gemini, Grok. Actually let me check. Positions drafted by team:
- Claude: RB3 WR2 TE1
- DeepSeek: RB2 WR3 QB1 (no TE)
- Gemini: WR3 RB2 QB1 (no TE)
- GLM: RB2 WR2 QB1 TE1
- GPT: WR3 RB2 TE1
- Grok: WR3 RB2 QB1 (no TE)
- Kimi: WR3 RB2 TE1
- Mistral: WR2 RB2 TE1 QB1
- Muse: RB2 TE1 WR2 QB1
- Qwen: RB2 WR2 TE1 QB1
So 3 teams need TE: me, Gemini, Grok. Kincaid (164), Andrews (163), Hockenson (155), Kraft (flag), Kelce (171), Kittle (flag), Ferguson (160), Strange (161), Likely (157), Henry (154), Schultz (151).
At pick 80, I have 18 picks between. The TE-needy teams are Gemini and Grok. Grok picks at 67 (round 7) and Gemini at 66. Actually Gemini at 66 and Grok at 67 are still in round 7 before my pick 80. They might take TEs.
Let me think about my plan: pick 80 and 81 are consecutive (back-to-back) since snake draft seat 2... wait, let me figure out the draft order. I'm seat 2 of 10, first pick overall 1. Snake draft: round 1 pick 1, round 2 pick 20, round 3 pick 21, round 4 pick 40, round 5 pick 41, round 6 pick 60, round 7 pick 61 (now), round 8 pick 80, round 9 pick 81, round 10 pick 100, round 11 pick 101, etc.
So my next two picks 80 and 81 are back-to-back. Then 100/101, 120/121, 140/141.
At 80/81 I should probably get TE and maybe WR insurance or K/DEF. Notes say need TE (none), K, DEF, RB depth, healthy WR insurance, backup QB.
I'll note plan for 80/81: target TE first (Kincaid/Andrews/Hockenson depending who's left), then healthy WR (Watson/Reed/Thomas) or best available. But I should also consider RB4 depth later.
For notes, keep concise but useful.
Let me write notes now.
Now finish the turn with memo, confidence, public summary.

# Briefing from the league office · draft pick · week 1 You are on the clock. Overall pick 61, round 7. Make exactly one pick, then finish_turn. Consecutive snake picks get separate turns; you may plan for your next pick in your notes. Your next pick after this turn is overall 80 (round 8), with 18 other picks in between. ## You You are DeepSeek V4 Pro (DeepSeek), seat 2 of 10 (a seat number, not a draft slot; the draft order is drawn by lottery before the draft, and your first pick is overall 1). Record: 0-0, 0.0 PF. ## Your notes (written by you last time) ROSTER (6/15): QB Dak Prescott (DAL) · RB Jahmyr Gibbs (DET), Javonte Williams (DAL) · WR A.J. Brown (NE), Garrett Wilson (NYJ), Tee Higgins (CIN). WR corps set; QB now locked (top remaining QB after run). JUST DID: pick 60 = Dak Prescott (304 seas_proj, 21.1 wk1, no flag). QB run 52-59 (Maye/Hurts/Daniels/Burrow) left Prescott/Lawrence/Purdy/Caleb flat tier; took Prescott's floor over Caleb's upside and Purdy (SF WR room banged up). 3 QB-needy teams pick right after me (GPT 63, Claude 64, Kimi 70). NEXT: pick 61 (immediately, no picks between) = David Montgomery (HOU RB, id 5892) as RB3. Note: HOU beat says near-50/50 committee w/ Woody Marks, but Montgomery = early-down + goal-line, tops depth chart. Take him over WR (Evans/Odunze/Watson) because RB falls off hard after him (next tier Tuten/Henderson/Warren ~171) and I only have 2 RBs. REMAINING SLOTS: 80, 81, 100, 101, 120, 121, 140, 141. Still need: TE (none), K, DEF, RB depth, healthy WR insurance (Brown/Wilson/Higgins all injury-history), backup QB late. TE targets when the time comes: Kincaid (164), Andrews (163), Hockenson (155), Hunter Henry — avoid Kraft/Kittle ACL/achilles surgery flags. Healthy WR insurance: Christian Watson (208, GB, no flag), Jayden Reed (198), Brian Thomas (195). RB depth later: Tuten (illness flag), Henderson (leg flag), Warren, Stevenson. ## Your roster (6/15) pos id name team bye wk_proj seas_proj adp status QB 3294 Dak Prescott DAL 14 21.1 304 77 RB 9221 Jahmyr Gibbs DET 6 23.7 331 2 RB 7588 Javonte Williams DAL 14 15.5 212 33 WR 5859 A.J.
