We are nearing the point of the offseason in which many startup dynasty drafts are held. In the next three weeks leading up to the NFL draft, I will be posting a series of polls asking about how you see this year's dynasty drafts unfolding.

The polls will be based on the following lineup in a 12 team league-

QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, Flex (RB, WR, TE) K, D

As far as scoring, assume 4 points for passing TDs and PPR for all positions.

If you vote for other, please post and let us know who you voted for.

1. Ladanian Tomlinson

2. Steven Jackson

3. Larry Johnson

4. Reggie Bush

5. Frank Gore

6. Brian Westbrook

Peyton

in the first round of a dynasty draft i want someone that i can count on for years to come

Peyton will be this teams rock for the next 8 years, tough to say that about any of the RBs listed here and too early for a WR

You realize Peyton turned 31 a few weeks ago, right? (Not that it's a bad pick.)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We're entering an area where the vote will get fragmented based on which option you like better. I went with Portis, he's only a year and half older than Addai, but has a proven track record (Addai has some risk associated with taking him this high.) I wouldn't fault someone for taking Addai, Rudi, Parker, Maroney, Peyton, Gates, Fitz or a couple of other players in this range.

 
I guess I fail to understand these "Startup Dynasty Draft" threads. :wall: Isn't this exactly like the other dynasty rankings, but done in overall and not just position rankings? Why not just take the dynasty rankings and vote on when a WR or QB slips in with the RB's? :wall:

Basically what's going on is redundant. :lmao: Then again, nobody was asking, huh? GB the offseason and the boredom...

 
If drafting today it's Portis, but it's close. It seems like the Skins figured out Al Saunders offense in the 2nd half of the season.

Both backs are in fantasy friendly offensive systems, but how talented is Addai? How durable is he? I guess we'll find out the Colts opinion on these questions by their draft choices, but it may take another year to get a better read. If Indy fails to pick a back in round 1-3, I'd have to think harder about taking Addai.

 
I think at #7...

You have to go w/ a 26 yr old Portis.

Parker and Manning are close 2nd w/ SA in 3rd. I just can not draft a 2nd yr player this high.

 
I think you guys who would draft Addai this early are crazy. He's the latest hot rookie RB who is going to go to high and not live up to expectations.

Yes, he had a nice rookie season in RBBC and is a good player on a good team, but there's too much risk drafting him this high with his history of injuries.

What other dynasty rankings? If you are talking about Blooms and Pasquinos, i would MUCH rather see a consensus from the Shark Pool than their rankings. I dont know if you have really looked at Jeff and Sigmund's rankings, but using them as a reference in a start-up draft is a recipe for disaster. Fear & Loathing's dynasty rankings on the other hand, are terriffic.

There are a handful of guys i can see going in the 7 spot, and Addai is one of them. I dont see any more of a risk with him as i do any other RB in this spot.I voter for Addai, but may have went with Maroney had he been an option.

Yeah, it was probably unfair of me to lump them together, Blooms are definetly better.

Rudi, Maroney, Ronnie, MJD and Palmer would be the next 5 I'd add to the list.

Did you catch the Pasquino? :popcorn:

He wouldn't be my choice but it looks like Manning will be going shortly. He's not far behind Manning in dynasty value and pretty much the consensus #2 QB. Have to give people that option to make the poll legit IMO.

Maybe, but i cant possibly see Palmer going in the first 18-20 picks of a dynasty draft.

I disagree completely. Not top 10, but after you get past the true stud RBs, Peyton and a few WRs, I'd take Palmer. FWIW, I'm pretty sure I couldn't trade McGahee for him in my league.
 
McGahee won't be producing big numbers in 3-5 years. I'm pretty sure Fitzgerald will be.. This is Dynasty and think consistent long term production .. Runningbacks NFL life is far from that of a stud WR.. Rice... Holt... Harrison... and Fitzgerald is one of these types..

Think about it... Fitzgerald is not even 25..

1. Many things have changed since the last set of dynasty rankings was done.2. It is interesting to see how people value players across different positions.

Interesting. As you recognize what he did and realize he's no longer in a RBBC per se, you refer to his college history of injuries as a reason for not taking him. Seems his last year of college and first year NFL would demonstrate he's healthy. Most guys have some sort of injury issue, especially RB's, eventually you have to set that aside. It's one thing if he's injured recently (like last year) but he's been healthy for a while now.So I guess that outs it back to this:

"Yes, he had a nice rookie season in RBBC and is a good player on a good team."

Remember that you want a guy that's Talented, that has an Opportunity to play and is Motivated. He fits nicely.
