Tons of talent here in the second round, and as expected, it’s tough to argue with any of these names. Chris makes up for the age of his first round pick by grabbing Seth Rollins, while Zack grabs perhaps the most known name in Pro Wrestling in John Cena, and John grabs perhaps the #1 “part-timer” Chris Jericho. Ultimately, we were still overflowing with available talent at this point, and it shows.
Best Pick (according to Tim): Tough to pick out only one again here at this early point, but I was glad to see that Roman Reigns wasn’t punished for his unpopularity and was chosen within the top 15. It would have been easy for everyone to avoid “The Big Dog” based on the backlash to his perceived push, and instead Eron focused on his star power and talent and nabbed him at an appropriate time.
Worst Pick (according to Tim): While I’ve been at the front of the bandwagon shouting his praises for quite some time, #11 overall seemed awfully early for Braun Strowman. Make no mistake – I’d have been gunning for him at some point in this draft, but the second round feels like a massive reach.
