I took Gronk at the same exact spot. In my eyes, I'm trying to win the whole thing, with winning my league secondary lol. If Gronk is good to go, that's a crazy bargain in this TE scoring. If not, oh well. Hope to be solid for 6 weeks and then get probably the #1 WR/TE behind Mega in the league. As for that team, I like it also. Stafford in rd 9 is ridiculous value. Only thing that would concern me is RB depth. Then again, I'm not an Ivory fan either.

I'm willing to take the shot in round 3 with Gronk as he will provide such an large advantage if he is back and latest indications from Shefter (on Twitter) are that more likely then not he will be back for week 1. If he isn't Im more than happy to roll with either Fleener or Housler as I strongly believe 1 of the 2 will break out this year.
Like this team, I see Gronk still going in rd 3, aren't you worried he might miss 1st 6 weeks on PUP?

How does McFadden drop to 4.11? That is just sick. He had to be around RB25 at that point. Yes your WR are weak but both of the Austins could combine as a decent WR2 based on matchups.
My final draft from the 5 spot:
QB: Russell Wilson (10), Freeman (15)
RB; Spiller (1), Reggie Bush (2), Bradshaw (7), Ballard (11), Helu (12), Michael (13)
WR: Bowe (4), Antonio Brown (5), Shorts (6), Vincent Brown (8), Wheaton (16), Collie (17)
TE: Gronk (3), Myers (9), Ausberry (14), Kelce (20)

Well, what do you think about this from the #3? Had no thoughts of D. Martin at #3, but Jimmy went #1 overall and I had to adjust on the fly. Strange draft - Vereen/Ridley went at the 2-3 turn (same guy) and Gronk went 1.12. I was 1 pick away from A. Morris at 2.10. Got Sproles instead.
QB - Brady (6) A. Smith
RB - Martin (1), Sproles (2), MJD (3), D. Lewis, J. Randle, C. Polk
WR - Wayne (5), M. Austin (7), Boldin, K. Wright, Patterson, Boyce
TE - Gonzo (4), Myers, Sudfeld, J. Thomas

He was RB24. Bell, Gore, Wilson, Miller all taken ahead of him. Only thing I regret from this draft was the Tavon Austin pick at 6.11. Looking back, could have gone TY Hilton, Stevie Johnson, Shorts instead. Lets see if the kid's got upside.

Hmm, i think this is middle of the pack. If Gronk is ready week 1, i love those 2 TE's. And that will help nullify your weak WR core. Overall its solid for sure, just dont think its a championship caliber squad. Who would be your 2nd flex , Ingram ?
Took Graham @ 1.1? Wow. Dont love your Ridley/Vereen combo. Hate trusting NE backs, let alone both of them. WR's while big play guys are most likely low-reception WR's as well. So if they dont score that week, chances are they arent putting up solid pts.prgromek said:
This is a boom/bust squad IMO.
Like this team alot. Myers (9) seems a bit high but nothing outrageous. Great backs. The only major drawback to Spiller is his bye week (12). I wanted him badly this year but i cant justify taking my 1st pick when he 100% wont be playing for me in week 1 of the playoffs. I know i know, u have to get there 1st. Still, my eyes are always on the playoff weeks. The plus is that week doesnt count towards the FPC weekly average or championship rds..ffrookie said:

Exactly. I'm hopeful that one of Ingram/Broyles/Randle/Wright have a bit of a breakout and serve as a legitimate flex. Best case for me is Gronk pays from Week 1 and one of those guys "breakout". Worst case, Gronk is on PUP and I struggle to fill my flex spots.
Drafted Yesterday from the 6th spot. Think I have a team is either going to be really good or really bad, which is kind of what I was going for.
QB: Wilson (10), Roethlisberger (13), A.Smith (17)
Intention was to draft a qb between rounds 6 and 8, but by that time there were still 5 QB's on the board I'd be happy with (Brady, Romo, Kaep, Wilson and RGIII) and I had 3 teams on each side of me that didn't have a QB so I waited as long as possible. Nearly backfired when someone grabbed Romo as their backup QB but ended up with Wilson who I'm happy with, but not ecstatic about. Knew I'd have to come back quick with another QB selection and it came down to Roeth or Freeman. I have Freeman ranked slightly higher and a better week 12 matchup (when Wilson is on bye), but at this point I wanted someone I could plug in and count on a decent game. So Roethlisberger was a better fit. I'm not expecting much from Smith, but at a 17th round pick he's worth a shot. He was on pace for 3400/26 before getting hurt in a run first offense, and Reid is a very QB friendly coach.
RB: Spiller(1), MJD(3), Ivory (7), Leshoure (11), L.James (12), C. Polk (16)
I actually have Spiller as my RB1, slightly ahead of ADP, but I hate that he has a week 12 bye. I briefly considered passing, but the other RB options weren't great and I'm probably the only one who doesn't think Graham is worth a 1st rounder. I think MJD in the 3rd is straight value. No real competition and has proved he can produce without much of a supporting cast. Ivory could be one of those players that makes or breaks my team. If he stays healthy he could put up some very strong numbers. The Jets can run the ball as they put up 1700.12 with Greene and company last year. Leshoure and James are both players I think could succeed if the opportunity rises. Polk is a bit of lottery ticket. Philly should be running the ball a lot which means lots of hits on RB's which means they might distribute carries more often.
WR: VJax (4), Nicks (5), S.Johnson (6), J.Gordon (8), S.Hill (18), J.Baldwin (20)
Very happy with my WR core. I like my WR's to be explosive and capable of turning in a big game each week. I know the risk with these are that they can dud in each week too, but I think my top 3 can all have games that could carry the other 2 if necessary. Gordon should be Weedens go-to guy and I see him improving off last years numbers. Hill could improve in his 2nd year. I'm taking a chance with Baldwin hoping he clicks in the new system.
TE: Witten(2), Gates (9), Z.Ertz(15)
I have Witten as my TE1, and think after him, Graham (who was taken) and Gronk (who I wouldn't invest such a high pick in with all the concerns), the rest are all pretty lumped in together. So it was take Witten or wait and wait. I like the high floor of Witten and if he can improve his TD (3) of last year he's worth it. I still think Gates has the ability to top 10 TE in this league. He's a big target is the red zone. Caught off guard with the Ertz pick Was targeting Eifert and he was taking directly in front of me. Anyhow, Ertz could still be productive for an offense that runs a multi-TE set.
PK: Forbath (19)
Have him as my #1 Kicker. He his 17 out of 18 in 11 games last year, 12 of which were from 40+. Wash attempted 30 FG's last year and 51 xp. Potential is there for a solid scorer.
TD: Houston (14)
Strong Defense that has the ability to get some of the pts against bonuses.
QB: Wilson (10), Roethlisberger (13), A.Smith (17)

Overall its pretty solid. I dont think its as boom/bust as u think really. The only real injury 'prone/concern' guy is Nicks and u have ample backups.

Thanks for your comments.
I agree with your QB comments. Wilson was really the last of the QB's I wanted. I don't see the Harvin injury as big a deal as they didn't have him last year. Sure it'd be nice, but isn't really a reason to think he'll regress.
As for RB: Charles and Martin were both gone. McCoy also has a week 12 bye. Not too high on Rice or TRich, so it wasn't too hard of decision, even with the week 12 bye.
As for TE: It's weird because I do have Witten at #1 because I don't go crazy with TD projections and that really helps Witten and hurts Graham. I have Witten with more receptions because I think the Saints have more mouths to feed with Colston, Moore and Sproles. In Dallas I think it'll be Witten and Bryant then a big gap to everyone else. However, if Graham had somehow slipped to the 2nd, I'd take him over Witten due to the huge upside. As you said, Grahams 2011 season is quite impressive, I just don't think its fair to consider it the baseline.
Its not like Graham doesnt catch the ball tho. 99 and 85 rec's last 2 yrs and most think he'll be returning to the 2011 form this year with Payton back in the mix. So i think its pretty crazy to disregard TD's because Witten doesnt score many. Even if he catches 15 more balls then Graham which may or may not happen, i'd still take Graham for his TD/big play ability.
But u said you'd take Graham over him ok, so that means Witten isnt your #1 TE lol.
No it means I expect witten to out score him most of the time by a little, but when graham does out score him, I expect it could be by a lot. The risk reward is better for graham IMO. Also I didn't say I disregard Tds. I said I don't go crazy projecting large Tds totals because they aren't quite predictable. I think it's a mistake to expect someone to score 10 Tds in a season. Doesn't mean it won't happen, but to expect it I think is a mistake

Assuming you had a later slot, like 10-12? If so, the order was something like 1) Bryant, 2) Fitz, 3) Ridley, 4) Johnson, 5) Newton, 6) Mendenhall?
Where did you take the QBs?
WR is clearly the strength here. But you could have given one up to shore up RB. And, didn't need to take two QBs in the first 7 or 8 picks. TEs may lack star power but actually aren't that weak. The club could compete because of the WRs, but you need something to happen at RB: Mendenhall to do well, Deangelo to start, etc.
I like this team except for your QB. I think it was a big mistake passing on Luck and Romo in favor of Brown, especially since you didn't really need him. But other than that I think things fell really nicely for you and you couldn't ask for a better roster coming out of the 12 spot.
As the other poster mentioned, your WR core is ridiculous but in doing so along with taking RG3 (assuming top 8 rds), your RB/TE picks suffered. You're going to be starting 2 of Deangelo/Mendenhall/Gresham as your RB2/flex every week? Yuck. Also while i love Keller as my TE2, not a fan of him being my top guy. u waited way to long to take a TE in this format. You should have taken one at that RG3 pick for sure.
Overall, u need alot of luck to compete i think.

Drafted two teams....
Team 1 (From the 5 slot) :
QB - Roethlisberger (15-5), Bradford (16-8), Geno Smith (18-8)
RB - S. Ridley (3-5), L.Miller (4-8), L.Bell (6-8), Vereen [handcuff] (7-5), LeShoure (10-8), Dwyer (14-8), D.Thomas [handcuff] 19-5
WR - C. Johnson (1-5), D.Thomas (2-8), E. Decker (5-5), T. Austin (8-8), Dobson (11-5)
TE - J. Finley (9-5), F. Davis (12-8), H.Miller (13-5)
K - Vinateiri (20-8)
Def - Packers (19-5)
Quick Analysis: This team is very solid at the skill positions in my opinion, but the lack of a stud QB may hurt me... Depends if any of them have a QB1 year or not... I may still be able to get by if I pick the optimal lineup each week with my surplus of skill players... I got some sick value in my opinion at RB and WR in the draft, and have 8 or 9 guys at RB/WR alone that should be starting every week in this format and the max you can play is 6...
Team 2 (From the 8 slot):
QB - Kaepernick (6-8), Eli Manning (12-5), Alex Smith (20-5)
RB - A. Morris (2-5), D. Murray (3-8), D. Sproles (4-5), E. Lacy (7-8), Pierre Thomas (14.5)
WR - C. Johnson (1-8), V. Cruz (5-8), E. Sanders (10-5), G. Tate (11-8), Kerley (17-8), Harvin (19.8)
TE - B. Myers (8-5), Finley (9-8), Cameron (15-8), H. Miller (16-5)
K - Matt Prater (18-5)
Def - 49ers (13-8)
Quick Analysis: I like this team... I like this team a LOT. I have the best receiver in the world yet I still think Running back is my strength on this team even with only 5 of them on my roster.... 2 bruisers in Morris and Lacy, and then two high risk-high reward guys in Sproles and Murray..
---Combine that with Kaepernick at QB (solid), a cornucopia of interesting tight ends, and in my opinion a Top 3 kicker and defense, and this team could be dangerous.
Compliments, Critiques and Questions are welcome.

Actually a lot of the TE1's were gone by then, but I agree. I should not have taken RG3 with that pick. I did not expect the run on RBs to continue after my Newton pick. I should have picked Lacy and I would have been able to get Newton in the next round anyway.

I call bs on both of doublem teams. There's no way Sproles lasts til 4.5 or Cruz til 5.8 or Thomas in 14th or Bell til 6.8. I can maybe see Austin at 8.8 but highly unlikely. Idk why someone would do that but unless I see those draft boards with my own eyes I'll never believe it
I was in that draft with you in a 2 spot. Your WR are sick but IMO it just kills your roster. If you take a RB in the 1st you still have Fitz & Andre and you can take another WR instead of RG3 or better yet instead of Cam. Now you have a stud RB and 2 stud WR. Again all this is just my opinion. I never get taking 2 QBs that early. What was your thinking there? Good luck to you!camel archer said:

Drafted again last night... This time was the FPC 10 PM EST draft C.
QB - Aaron Rodgers (4-6), Tony Romo (10-6)
RB - Ryan Mathews (5-7), Giovanni Bernard (6-6), Eddie Lacy (7-7), Andre Brown (8-6), Joique Bell (16-6), K. Hunter (19-7)

K - M. Prater (15-7)
Def - 49ers (12-6), Rams (18-6)
Quick Analysis:
This team is nuts.. It's just really weird and I don't know if I hate it or love it yet.. I hate my first running back, but overall I think I can survive at the position... Just gotta get solid production from a RB2 perspective from 2 or 3 of those guys on a weekly basis... But having arguably the best Tight End, Quarterback, Kicker and Defense is never a bad thing.... And I won't really ever need to play someone besides DT and Roddy at WR unless one of those high risk-high reward rookies I got pans out
Questions, Comments and Concerns, let me know.

Quick Analysis:
This team is nuts.. It's just really weird and I don't know if I hate it or love it yet.. I hate my first running back, but overall I think I can survive at the position...

Now this is a FPC team that makes sense. I think lack of depth at RB and WR will be your downfall but good luck. Were the other 2 teams you posted FPC or another contest?
Would love Romo at 10-6 except for already having Rodgers. If I am taking a top 4 QB, don't think I am grabbing another QB in the first 15 or so rounds. Otherwise love the upside down strategy.

It's difficult if you take a TE and a QB in the first 4 picks. I do like your first 5 picks but after that it falls apart. Your won't be able to rely on Hartline as a WR3 or flex player and he has the same bye week as Roddy. Your RB situation is also a mess. Romo and the 49ers D were luxury picks given your lack of RB/WR depth. You'll need to hit on the waiver wire and hope Matthews returns to form.

I like this team. I probably would have passed on Davis in the 4th for a WR but you still ended up with a great group of WR. Wilson in the 11th is also great value. I'm assuming you were probably the last team to draft a QB at that point. Nice team overall.
Drafted one last time and figured Id try to grab Graham since I was in the 7 spot. Like my draft except for my RB depth.
QB: RGIII (9), Bradford (15)
RB: Bush (2), Bradshaw (5), Williams (7), Michael (10), Helu (13), Forsett (20)
WR: VJax (3), Amendola (4), Shorts (6), Thompkins (12), Wheaton (14), Collie (16), Streater (17)
TE: Graham (1), Cameron (8), Housler (11)
K: Bailey
D: Bucs
Couldn't resist Cameron or Housler in the 8th or 11th and figure if they perform as I expect I could use 1 or potentially both in the flex.
