Obviously that league drastically devalued all QBs as a whole. Rodgers and Cam didn't go until the second, and Brees was picked right between Darren Sproles and Marques Colston. Makes me wonder if the league doesn't have any funky scoring rules.I looked and it is only 4 points per passing td, but still guys like Rodgers and especially Cam shouldn't be falling out of the first round.

Thanks for posting. Interesting to see the same guy take the 1.1/1.2 at the turn there. About right for Richardson (I assume), but way early for the 1.2 when guys like Rodgers/Newton/Wallace/Bryant/Charles/MJD, etc. were still on the board. Also, AJ Green going 6 spots higher than Julio was interesting. 1.1/1.2 guy following up with CJ/Stafford makes me think he wants Blackmon...he must be quite high on him. Same guy also went on to take Hernandez and 1.4...interesting.
So he went:
1.1
1.2
Chris Johnson
Stafford
Hernandez
1.4
DHB
Jon Baldwin
1.12
Ryan Williams
Jake Locker
2.1
Robert Meachem
Evan Royster (rather than 2.4, which went right after....interesting)
I don't think I've seen someone invest so heavily in one rookie draft in a startup before. Wow. Looking weak at WR.
That is an interesting team. Of the early picks, the only pick I'd really quibble with is the 1.2, but that's just because I'm not a huge believer in Blackmon. But once you start putting hypothetical names in for the picks, it doesn't look as bad and could be a pretty strong team long term. Especially because he is likely to end up with a top 3 pick next year to add another elite RB or WR (add a Marcus Lattimore for example to the roster...). QB-Matt Stafford, Jake Locker
RB-Trent Richardson, Chris Johnson, Ryan Williams, Evan Royster
WR-Justin Blackmon, Michael Floyd, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Jon Baldwin, Mohammed Sanu, Dwight Jones, Robert Meachem
TE-Aaron Hernandez
He definitely needs Richardson, Blackmon and whoever he takes at 1.4 to live up to the hype

Yes I will need some Picks to hit, but a couple WW gems and I will be competitive. Nothing worse than after a year or two of a dynasty than to have a bunch of non tradable players. I think all of my guys will have upside down the road. I do wish that I had one good WR but this group gobbles them up and when I was left with stafford and CJ at the the 3.12,4.01 I had to take them. Oh well, I now have 7 of the top 14 rookie picks, so that should be interesting anyway.

Very interesting. Obviously dalton at 2.5 was a terrible pick. That owner put himself in a major hole pretty quicklyDon't like the mjd stafford Charles picks with guys like green Fitz and nicks availableAlso can't believe how far nicks and Fitz fell. I don't know what the guy with the first pick did to get so lucky, but after drafting foster he was handed nicks and Fitz on a silver platter. Great trio to start his team, assuming there weren't any trades.
Danish Bengal
Footballguy
Lots of trades in that league. Foster, Fitz and Nicks are on three different teams. Stafford was me. I even traded up to pair him up with Calvin. I've always hated playing against strong QB-WR combo's so I thought "Now it's my turn". We'll see how that turns out...
Dr. Octopus
Footballguy
That has to be one of the most curious picks I've ever seen. I don't see Dalton ever really being anything more than a borderline fantasy starter (if that), but even if I'm wrong and he is a consistent Top 6-8 guy (or better) surely the guy could have drafted him much later than that.

Julio Jones is going really high. Probably too high.
Skeletore Eh
Footballguy
Yup. Much rather have nicks at 25 than Julio at 5

just don't see how CJ or anyone for that matter, could be taken ahead of Rodgers..I don't see Stafford in the top 10, he had a great season and all,but I'd like to make sure he's not Scott Mitchell v2.0 before I select him with a top 10 pick.
Some QB named Matt, whether it be Flynn (via trade) or Moore, could be a top QB in Philbin's offense in Miami..
Big Ben is going to make a major impact with Haley as Pitt's OC..think Kurt Warner 2008..
Trent Richardson in the top 10, already?! no way that happens. would you seriously take Richardson over some other top RB's and/or proven guys like Gronkowski, Roddy White, H. Nicks, J. Graham, Cruz, etc? no way.
Clinton Portis wasn't even a first rounder his rookie season..and he is/was >>>>> Richardson.
ConnSKINS26
Footballguy
What? Clinton Portis was a 2nd rounder. Shanahan's ZBS took a good talent with breakaway speed, and made him a star. Don't get me wrong, when healthy and especially before putting on weight for Gibbs, Portis was a great RB.
But as a prospect? Not even CLOSE to Trent Richardson.

Love how people complain about startups being done early. Some leagues do things differently but that doesn't mean it's wrong. The ability to adjust is important and I see it as ballsy but not stupid. Complainers just like to hear themselves talk.

why do people feel the need to justify thier picks in the comments."He's only 25 yo and will be in a RBBC somewhere..." bla bla bla...
Is someone in the league going to laugh at them otherwise?

Why was that draft so QB heavy, since looks like 4 pts per passing TD and can only start one QB ?Have never seen 4 of first 6 picks be QB, and really odd that Calvin falls to 8 (even in non-PPR) ?

How about Richardson falling to 4.5...couple spots behind....Fred Jackson!!!Yeah, must be some weird settings or something.I vote for "or something" with Ridley, Vereen, Carter, Taiwan, Powell, Vincent Brown, Golden Tate, Hankerson, Benn, Mike Thomas, Salas, Kolb, Kendricks, etc all undrafted, and for the most part still FAs. I would expect most to be drafted in a 23 round initial dynasty draft that just completed a week ago.

Here's one that started this morning. Some odd scoring with bonuses for long td's. QB's only get 4 points per passing td but they still went early for some reason. I guess these guys prefer qb's over running backs. http://football15.myfantasyleague.com/2012/options?L=59343&O=17

Tell me about it!! I really could care less why someone picked whoever, I think you could be right, perhaps some insecurity.....maybe they just like to hear the sound of their own voice. Unless your proven, we don't really care what you think.
KellysHeroes
Footballguy
I don't care how smart anyone thinks they are, drafting before free agency and the draft is dumb. Free agency and the draft is completely a mystery to everyone, and no one can predict either with anything close to accuracy.might be dumb to you, but not for others...i love drafting early in the year, precombine...have never drafted before the NFL draft but i won't mind getting in on one some day. I think the appeal is trying to get that special someone you feel is going to breakout that yr before the hype begins. I now a couple of times I have had my eye a player and try to sneak them off someones roster by sending a decent trade offer or a package only to get rejected or that owner just isn't active during the off-season. Then sure enough Camps start / rankings hit and then its too late.Also, it must make the real draft that much more exciting when your waiting to see where your investment is going.

I still can't wrap my head around going QB in the first 2 rounds of a start up draft. Hard to change after so many years.
