My favorite pick in the last round was probably Josh Freeman. lot of weapons now around him with VJax, true RB1, Williams at a better WR2 spot, Benn two years removed from the ACL tear, KW II/Stocker at TE, it could be a career year for Freeman.
and Sweet Love grabbed him at QB 17 as his first QB and complained that he did not get RG III. Curious what others think about prospects for RG III, Freeman, and Luck who went in that order in the early part of round seven?
I am going to be honest here...I really thought I was going to walk away with RG III, to the point where I did not really research my next pick. I almost skipped Freemen to take my third RB (Redman) and was going to cobble something together in the later rounds. I always wait on QB, but this time I was stressing out. When Griffin was gone I had a few guys on my short list (Freeman was one of them) and started doing my pros/cons list on each. Have to say, I really forgot what a great year he had in 2010 25/9 TD/INT ratio, and I really do like the WRs now with V-Jax, MW, Benn, Briscoe, etc. We'll see, but it is interesting to me that I feel everyone got a decent starter (not many questions surrounding any of them) and we are 17 QBs deep.
Feel like there is more certain depth this year at the position (at least as of today).
totally agree with the bolded and look for discussion on this topic on this week's staff round table discussionGreat discussion here by everyone. I am really enjoying this draft as much as any recent survivor drafts here. Keep up the good work!
I agree that there is more certain depth at QB because it seemed like we went into last year IIRC with like 10-13 QB jobs that were kind of up in the air. This year it seems like the starters are a little more defined all the way through 32. With that said, in this survivior format with 32 teams, there can be a pretty big difference between the elite guys week in and week out and throwing up a marginal QB combo and hoping it keeps you in the mix at the position.
Would be interesting to see what the QB position looked like on the winning teams last year in WSL's, PDSL's, and SSL's. I don't have the time right now to look at it, but I know in PDSL BSS last year when I won I had Rodgers/Tebow. If I had to bet, I'd say that Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Stafford, and Newton (kinda this years top 5) were on most. Wonder if any mid to low tier QB combos hung in because of their studs at other positions.
I'll be honest, I know very little about this format and the history behind it. I did read up on the rules however and have played in some similar leagues in the past (same format, but without the survivor aspect), so it should be fun.
OK, coolHe posted it was his first time in SSL, and we were discussing boom or bust players in survivor formats.
