Would anyone use (or plan to use) a 1st round pick on him in their rookie draft? Put aside the fact that he wasn't available if you already drafted but, just given what you know and now that you know what team he will play for, Are there any of you guys out there willing to draft him at spots where guys like hill, Jeffery, Randle, etc have gone?
I hold the tenth pick in my rookie draft (12 team, non-ppr, idp, nearly all Browns fans so Gordon and Weeden will go higher than typical fantasy league). If he's there then I would consider him with my pick.I figure the top nine picks will fall off the board something similiar to this:
1.
Trent Richardson, RB, Cleveland
2.
Doug Martin, RB, Tampa Bay
3.
Robert Griffin III, QB, Washington
4.
Justin Blackmon, WR, Jacksonville
5.
Michael Floyd, WR, Arizona
6.
Kendall Wright, WR, Tennessee
7.
Andrew Luck, QB, Indianapolis
8.
David Wilson, RB, N.Y. Giants
9.
Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver
That would leave the following pool to choose from in no particular order:
Luke Keuchly, LB, Carolina
Robert Turbin, RB, Seattle
Isaiah Pead, RB, St. Louis
Alshon Jeffery, WR, Chicago
Stephen Hill, WR, N.Y. Jets
Brandon Weeden, QB, Cleveland
Chris Rainey, RB, Pittsburgh
And Josh Gordon, WR, Cleveland
I'm loaed at RB and could use a QB with no shot at Luck or RG III but its doubtful Weeden falls in my league.
Based off upside and being unable to nail my top need, I'm leaning Gordon with my top pick.
