LOL I am that guy every couple of years as life doesnt allow for extensive research. I basically pull up the list of all the leagues and monitor where people go every year for some simple insight. As an example, I just landed perkins at 3.5 in z16 (I didnt need him) and lynch went 3.4 (Both slid well past their typical ADP). I have targets for needs but the adp is good to have for the later rounds.
I snagged him as a FA after the draft, so he might even fall out of it, depending. That said, remember that they spent a third rounder on Chris Conley last year, and I think everyone expected him to be a project. He could also emerge and take that #2 spot.
Yeah, lots of bodies there. Conley definitely flashed last year, I think the biggest question is if he can continue to improve on beating press coverage. Seemed to get better as the year went on. Albert Wilson was not bad at all, but ran a lot of deep routes which obviously aren't Smith's thing. With a QB who can really chuck it downfield, I think he'd be fairly productive - he's not WR1 material though, which was an issue when Maclin got hurt. KC is looking for a quality WR2 who can fill Maclin's shoes if the same thing happens again. They also signed Rod Streater in addition to drafting Robinson (and Hill I guess, but I think he's mostly a ST/gadget guy). The camp battles for WR2/3 will be interesting.
Dixon is pretty interesting.
Super crowed in Baltimore. I wouldn't draft him and just pick him up off the WW at the end of this year when he's dropped because he didn't sniff the field this year.
Lamar Miller fell out of favor with GMs too.massraider said:
I'd rather take my chances with Higbee over Hooper, and Henry too for that matter. Sure, he might go to jail and never play a down, but if he plays I think he will be a star.
you mean at their ADP or like, at any point? Both are bad, just wondering which bad you're talking about
I know... compensatory is with an A, not an IAndy Dufresne said:What...thehell?
I understand that thought process but I feel like I have always ended up better going for talent over situation. Who knows....maybe Miami does not resign Landry. Maybe Parker never meets expectations. Maybe an injury occurs. Water tends to find its level and to me Caroo is my favorite receiver in this class.
Not trying to sound snide, but that's kind of the point of this thread. The "help" is here for the taking if you look at the pattern of where guys are getting drafted. That will help you gauge a value for the players, then you are able to decide which pick to use on certain players. For instance I keep seeing a guy like Tyler Boyd going in the 7-10 range. He was there at 16 in my draft so I scooped him up. If you happen to see value like that in your draft, even if you had no intentions of drafting the guy, it may change your mind.
I think I already know who I want at each pick, and no way I go RB at the #4 pick. Just was letting anyone who's interested know that I'm about to start a draft here soon.
Understandable and goes along with the consensus, so no argument from me. If he doesn't plan on making all 6 picks I would agree with WR at 4 overall. I just don't like any of the RBs other than Elliott, Henry and maybe Dixon as 1st round picks. I would rather grab 2 of Fuller, Thomas, Boyd as late ones and use an earlier one on Henry, than draft Doctson early and waste 1st rounders on 4th round RBs in timeshares. Again, this strategy only applies if making all 6 picks. I don't see a huge difference in value between Henry and Doctson in a 10 team league. In fact, Henry might be more valuable. But I understand I'm in the minority.
How many roster spots do you have free to carry rookies?
I went Vannett and DeValve over Adams late in my draft, but I can see the case for Adams as well because the Giants have a fairly TE friendly offense.
I have Hunter and Hooper as neck and neck. Higbee is a tier below those two guys. I haven't put much time in looking at any of the other TE from this draft class.
any interest in the 1.09? its kind of a dead zone, if you can gfet any value moving it, its prolly gonna be worth more than any of the guys right at the 9, considering you have the 11 and 12matttyl said:
Not any to speak of. I went ahead and took Dixon with the 9, but made an offer of the 12 and a 3rd rounder (which would make my roster too big) I have to get the 10, where I'd take Booker. Or maybe the guy at 10 drafts a player other than Booker. At this point, Booker, Perkins, Boyd and Fuller are my next 4 players. Hoping to land 3 of them with the 11, 12 and 14.
im pretty sure you will be able to, minus boyd or fuller, they seem to be going in that range
That's kinda what I'm thinking. It's a 10 team league, start 2 LBs and I have LEvy, Sean Lee, Burfict, Marc Barron (now a SLB) and Preston Brown - with some decent enough options still available on the wire if needed. I'm very thin at DL, though (after JJ Watt
Cardinals didn't draft a TE. You talking about an undrafted guy?
Yeah, don't waste a pick on one.matttyl said:That's kinda what I'm thinking.

I never said that. Personally, I like IDP leagues, just not ones where they matter as much as your WR's and RB's.Andy Dufresne said:So there's no point in playing IDP?
I solved the problem of which one to pick and took all three in my 3 Rd 26-man roster dynasty offensive rookie only draft. Henry at 2.01 and the other two at 3.06 and 3.07. Have only Jimmy graham on my roster currently. Was fortunate to have 5 picks this year.
