10th pick strategy (1 Viewer)

[smoker]

Assuming the top 3 qb's are gone

Assuming Calvin is gone (although scared if madden curse)

Who would you target with your 1st 2 picks

Most mocks I'm looking at right now I'm looking at

Jamaal Charles

McFadden

Forte

Mjd maybe

I've also been looking at stafford, and then following up with a top te and grab rbs later

Anyone out there have some strategy to discuss?

 

[butcher boy]

If the top 3 Qbs AND Calvin AND the top 3 RBs are all gone, I pick Jimmy Graham.

Not the most comfortable of picks mainly for value reasons, but I'm a firm believer of picking the lowest risk stud possible in the first round. All of those other running backs are super risky. At the turn, maybe one of them will still be there.

I know the OP is talking in a non PPR, but I have the 10th spot in one of MFL $10 leagues, and I took Graham at 1.10 and Brees at 2.3. I have never done a real league where I didn't take a RB or WR in the first 2 rounds so this is very new for me, but for $10 what the hey. So far so good, but I'm gonna have to get lucky at RB later.1.10 Graham2.3 Brees3.10 Nicks4.3 Harvin

I was able to get Harvin at 5.10 in my MFL $10 league. Mathews fell to me at 1.10 and took Graham at 2.03Bottom line, let the draft come to you. A few good players will fall in your lap.

At 1.10 I'm picking up McFadden or Forte then taking Graham or Gronk if they're still there in the 2nd.

Boy that makes me feel horrible about my draft so far. I would have taken Mathews if he was there at 1.10 instead of Graham, that's for sure.

Here's a thread I started awhile ago on this topic.

i have been dealt this pick in one of my money leagues.

Not a fan of taking any te early so I wont do that. I do want a qb early and would take one of the big three if they fall to me but I dont think they will. Qbs go quickly as its 6 pts for all tds.

I am thinking the top 9 will go something like this. foster, mccoy, rice, AROD, Calvin, Brady, Brees, Chris Johnson, Mathews. Now, if news breaks that MJD is going to play week 1 I would take him. If no MJD, I'm leaning Stafford. Det has a nice schedule and I beleive hes a lock for 30+ tds, plays in a dome, lots of other things to love about him. after stafford I would take the best rb available out of forte, SJAX, or FJAX. Honestly, I like FJAX out of that group as I think Buffalo will be good and has a nice schedule.

The other RBs available around the end of round 1/beg round 2 i dont like because of the following:

Forte will score even less TDs than usual, but I do like him and would consider him

Jackson while good plays for the crappy rams. STL schdule also is pretty tough also getting old.

Not a mcfadden fan so he is out for me. dude plays 5 games a year

not a fan of rookies in round 1/2 so no richardson.

Dont like Cowboys running game so no demarco.

not sold on charles being 100%

So unless someone falls (most likley Rodgers, Brady, Brees), its MJD/STafford and then best RB for me. If I took MJD I would look for stafford/CAM in round 2. Like I stated, I want a top 5 QB and if wait past second round the best i could get would be a romo, ryan, rivers type in rounds 3-4. they go that fast. Great WR are availabe in rounds 3-5 so missing a great WR does not bother me too much

I think you gotta go RB/RB at the 10 this year. You'll probably end up with some combo of DMC/Murray/Forte/MJD/CJ/TRich depending on who falls. But not drafting a RB and going QB/TE like some suggest would leave you with the likes of Bradshaw/Gore/Martin as your RB1.

I think you can build a stronger all around team by going RB/RB with you 1st 2 picks.

i think the days of going rb/rb are dead and the qbs you could get here are far better than any rb you might take. imo of course

The problem for me is the risk you take with taking a guy like McFadden or Mathews in the first round. I know running backs are thin but your team will really be thin if they go down for a significant amount of time, which is not exactly unlikely for those two guys.
