I'm wondering how people are valuing top rookie picks this year. The consensus seems to be that this class lacks elite talent, but is relatively deep in terms of starters, especially at WR. Does this make high picks easier to acquire? Also, when dealing a pick like the 1.01, is it as simple...

I was thinking about this the other day. All four of these guys are great and legitimate bets to finish in the top 4 again this year, so I think its really a gut call. In a weird way, I think MJD is the LEAST likely to finish #1 overall in this group but the MOST likely to remain in the top 4...

I was just reading some interesting ideas regarding bye week strategy, both threads in the shark pool and articles I found through Today in Fantasy. I was intrigued by the idea of stocking up on players with the same bye-week to give your team a better chance of competing in during the other...

PPR is one of many ways to assign points. Why is one more valid than another? The different ways to assign points just provide different lenses to look a the game through. If we assigned points for WR run blocking, we would better understand who the best blocking WRs are. Thats part of...

;) This is exactly what I thought. Hero syndrome does exist, just not in this example. I think the hero syndrome works between tiers. That is, the consensus top 3 RBs are Spiller, Matthews, and Best. People will rearrange them in their own personal ranking system, but most people will agree...

I'm not asking you to value my opinion. This forum is here for people to post there opinions and allow other people to discuss/debate or ignore. I acknowledged that what ESPN and NFL doesn't mean very much, which is why I told you why I don't like the pick. I watched McCourty too, just like...

Both the NFL and ESPN broadcaster's called him a great special teamer. Berman actually invoked Larry Izzo (I know its berman, but still). Personally, after watching him a bit this season (I'm a UConn student) I was most impressed by his return abilities. I think he's a fine CB, but doesn't...

When the nicest thing anyone has to say about your first round pick is that he's "an instant impact player on special teams" that can't be good. To me, McCourty is a good special teamer with the potential to be a nickel corner. Seems like a BB guy, but BB guys are generally fill a specific...

Denver takes Maurkice Pouncey at #11, even with Dez and McClain still on the board. Center is the biggest hole on this team and Pouncey is as safe a stud as there is in the draft. McClain may or may not be a 3 down player in the NFL, and we've heard all of the issues with Dez going to Denver...

Ya, but look at his BMI! I mean, unless you can prove that his cholesterol level is below-average, I'm gonna have to side with EBF here. In all seriousness though, where do you rank Bryant as a WR prospect? Is he below a Taylor Price or David Gettis like some people on this post might have...

Ah, very witty. :thumbup:

I'm new here. Is this what this emoticon is for? :shrug:

Which team is using Madden? I mean, even in video games, don't you shop around? You're telling me that none of the other 14 3-4 defenses in the league would have offered a straight 5th, or a 4th even for a young 5-technique? I would guess Pit would love him, so would Baltimore and New...

When I grow up, I want to be EBF.

Ever since reading Waldman's RSP I've been interested in Joique Bell and Shawnbrey McNeal, both of whom he rates very highly (11 and 10 respectively). But I haven't heard much discussion on these players. Are they small school guys with NFL talent and high upside? Or are they just depth at...
