Anyone who has first choice of draft slot this year in a PPR league and doesn't opt for the 1-slot needs his (or her) head examined.I like the 1st spot this year.
I agree. Normally I like being near the middle, but this year I'm hoping for #1 to just take Brown and rest easy.Mr. Irrelevant said:Anyone who has first choice of draft slot this year in a PPR league and doesn't opt for the 1-slot needs his (or her) head examined.
If you want to go WR heavy early, the first spot is amazing. You have a realistic chance of getting 3 of the top 12 WRs. If you wanted to go Zero RB, you could get 5 of the top 24 WRs.

This. But I would try to take Brown, one RB and another top 12 or so WR if I held pick 1. But if I can start with Brown, Alshon and Evans.......yeah I would do that instantly.If you want to go WR heavy early, the first spot is amazing.

One mock I did, I was able to get Brown, Alshon, Evans, Maclin, Decker. Getting Alshon and Evans at 2/3 might be a bit optimistic. A Cooks or Cooper is probably more likely in the 3rd. Either way, it's quite a start to your team.
Good chance McCoy or Ingram will be there at 2/3 turn which I think is almost stealing.This. But I would try to take Brown, one RB and another top 12 or so WR if I held pick 1. But if I can start with Brown, Alshon and Evans.......yeah I would do that instantly.
The top 3 spots are really good. I think Brown, Julio and OBJ are so far ahead value wise. 4 and 5 are OK since Gurley and David Johnson are good consolation prizes if you can't land the super elite WRs. 6-8 is where it's really tough.
With the way WR runs have been going in the second round that i've seen, there's a good chance that both of them plus Martin are there at the 2/3 turn. I'd like to take one of those 3 but tough to rank them and the problem will be trying to not take 2 of them. Ideally, Brown/Evans/Ingram, something like that. Gives more flexibility at the 4/5 turn as well.Good chance McCoy or Ingram will be there at 2/3 turn which I think is almost stealing.
Not sure why not OBJ, but mine would be Sheppard taking some yards and TDs, this guy will be a steal anywhere rounds 7 & 8 or after (but his ADP is rising).I don't like OBJ as much and Julio/Brown are no-brainers. 1st or 2nd
you won't know until you make offer, offer high, at firstI am at 1. No brainer for me is Antonio Brown (ppr redraft)....but the number 2 is a HUGE Steelers fan, so I am entertaining the idea of trading the first pick IF he is willing to make it worth my while. The problem is identifying what would make it worth my while. Brown is about as can't miss as you can get in the first round.
Yeah I think the 5 spot could be nice. You're either getting one of the elite RB1s or could still land a WR like Green or Hopkins. And then in the 2nd, they'll still be plenty of good WR and RB options to choose from.In general I'm pretty comfortable from the #5 spot this year. Good chance of either Gurley/Johnson/Hopkins with a solid WR3 in the 4th (Decker/Landry/Mackin.) The 2nd round is problematic. If Freeman is there I grab him and take Jeffrey/Nelson/Thomas. Trickier if I take a stab at Marshall with Forte/Hyde/Lacy/McCoy on the board - often see a late 2nd/early 3rd run on RBs. Which typically means you end up with a great set of WRs but starting RBs are from the Bernard/Duke Johnson/Lewis tier. Or reaching for Jones or Matthews and hoping they get the touches.
I like to be flexible in my approach and let the draft come to me, but that 2nd/3rd round (20 & 29) are tough to predict.
Link? Where did Gronk go? 12 teams?Drafted from the 5 hole last night...Big 3 went in order (Hopkins 4th)... I wound up with Green/Evans/Edelman
12 Team (PPR)....Gronk went 2.3...Link? Where did Gronk go? 12 teams?
