I feel like I'm not in the minority when I say I like drafting Lovelin more than Trey McBride. But it comes down to that cost. It comes down to Lovelin going to round four. Trey McBride depending on where you're drafting. Sometimes round two, sometimes round three. I really think it's a coin flip. Equal. Okay. who out who scores more.
