#12 Pick in the FFPC - FBG (1 Viewer)

3 defenses? Really?

It not only gives you cover for bye weeks, but with Defenses being able to play good matchups is almost as important as having a top defense.

meh, I'll be dropping Lions after week 2...NE and SD play each other week 2

correct, and this is a heavy D scoring league.That being said, would have stuck with just SD/NE had they not been playing each other week 2

 

[32 Counter Pass]

####...Britt just went at 5.04thought I might get him at 5.12

So me getting him at 7.01 yesterday screams of value

That is determined at the end of the year, not at draft time.

It's a DE, wait....what? It's not?

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Brady in the 6th is robbery. Nice job.

Huckster, you did a nice job here, but 3 defenses is just a waste. Why not pick up some rookie RBs instead? For instance, Johnny White would have made sense to hedge your FJax pick. I can of a lot of other players that offered more upside than wasting picks on defenses. Geez.

6.01 - Tom Brady16.1 - Colt McCoy20.1 Grossman

Really had planned on going QB/QB at the 9/10 turn targeting Bradford but my #3 QB was there for me at 6.1 so I ditched the plan. Went Grossman in the last round since all of my sleeper RBs and WRs were gone. Will likely end up dropping a QB after a few weeks of waiver action. I like McCoy to murder his ADP.

2.01 - Frank Gore4.01 - Ahmad Bradshaw5.12 - Fred Jackson13.12 - Marion Barber15.12 - Lonyae Miller

Was targeting Gore all along. I realize this is a tad high for his ADP, but he was easily the best back on my board. After an abnormal RB run in rounds 2/3 Bradshaw was an easy pick at 4.01 as the last available in his tier. I really, really like Barber as a sleeper pick this year as I've never been a huge Forte fan and MB is still relatively young. Lonyae was just a flier, had some camp buzz but he looked mediocre in his first preseason action.

Yeah, as you can see in my writeup above I really had another plan for QB but when he slid I jumped...safe production.

 

[LHUCKS]

1.12 - Megatron3.12 - D-Jax7.12 - Moore8.01 - Julio "burst" Jones12.1 - Braylon Edwards

Was targeting the first three WRs prior to the draft at these exact draft spots, so my WR plan really worked out well. Julio Jones was the WR with the most upside on the board so I took a chance on him. Overall I'm very happy with the upside this group presents.

9.12 - Lance Kendricks10.01 - Jared Cook11.12 - Keller

Kendricks/Cook turn was by design and was planned...both high risk/high reward typle plays. Keller wasn't planned but was simply the best value on the board. It'g gonna be a nightmare trying to figure out who to start. Might get some valuable flex plays out of this group too if two of these guys can blow up this year.

Pats DChargers DMason CrosbyLions D

Nothing earth shattering here...I jumped on New England too early, there were still some RBs on the board with upside that I would have rather had.

Tell me about why you like Gore bett than others at this spot. I'm having trouble seperating one from Gore/Turrner/McFadden/MJD etc.

You only need to draft one. Just pick up defenses as you go along. There are always defenses which rise up to be much better than the year before. You should be picking high upside position players instead. The point differential in hitting a late round stud is far in excess of any playing the defenses strategy.

McFadden went #7 overall so I don't think he's even inthe same tier ADP wise.MJD I have in the same tier, but I already drafted him at 2.09 in an earlier draft and I wanted to spread out my risk, I also don't like the expense that is Rashad Jennings...going very high as a handcuff.Turner I don't have in the same tier in PPR because of his lack of receiving.

TEs going quick nowDaniels/Graham both went over Vernon...weird

This is what's referred to as the Alex Smith effect...

a quick write up for my draft out of the 12 hole today

Well drafting out of the 12 spot sucks and there is no chance of ADP dropping so the whole first half hour was a bore. Then I took

1. Fitzgerald. I have him as my #2 WR. The situation is very similar to Braylon's big year. Mediocre QB, decent TE, no other receiving weapons, decent ground game, potentially soft schedule with a below average D. 100/1400/16 is possible, but 90/1350/11 is just fine by me and a stud in PPR.

2. Vick. I don't understand the conflict about Vick. Some idiots have him as the #1 player and some have him as the #2 QB. Split the middle and its just right. the #1 Qb and worth the 8th-12 pick in the draft. To end your suspense- yes I took Vince to back him up.

3. Dallas Clark. 1.5 PPR for TEs is nice to get him at the end of the 3rd.

4. Reggie Wayne. I took him in the 4th instead of with 3.12 just so I could get Wayne in the 4th.

5. Fred Jackson. If you read my blog you know why I made this pick.

6. Benson. Pick that I like the least but as long as he is the starter in cinci he should be on pace for 180-200 pts most of the year. I just need enough here given that I should be ahead in WR and QB points every week and in TE points most weeks. Other Backs available here- Lynch, Grant, Addai

7. Mike Thomas- A safe low floor low ceiling pick that I am pairing with an uncertain pick at #8

8. Steve Smith- Carolina's run game should be back and smith should at least be able to get 65/900/4 with 80/1200/7 upside. Or he sucks again and he is just one of those players that fell off a cliff after a stellar 10 years in the league.

9. Jacobs-

10. LT- not much upside, not much downside here.

11. Sproles- 2nd best pick behind Wayne in the 4th. 60 catches, 800 total yards and 5 TDs is 170 pts in this league. 80 catches, 1,000 yards and 8 TDs is basically what Bush averaged his first 3 years and that was missing 10 total games and NOT prorating.

12. Cooley- 13 ppg in this format over the last 3 years- thats regular flex player + he backs up D Clark in case someone takes Tamme or outbids me after an injury

13. Lee Evans- Was going to take him at 12.1 but glad I didn't

14. Eagles DST - ask me about the guy who took the Ravens and Steelers Ds in rounds 9 and 11. Just ask me.

15. S Ridley- I will take this guy in the 15th round all year until he breaks a leg. Vareen isn't practicing in one of the most complicated offenses in the league and people are taking him over the guy getting 7 receptions with the 2nd team in 2 quarters of play?

16. Bernard Scott. Basically nothing left around here anyway and he could be darn good in a PPR league if Benson went down.

17. Vince Young. Just to make sure no one #### blocks me I take him here.

18. Kevin Boss. Its a TE league and the Raiders don't have many actual weapons- just a lot of potential weapons. So far in his career Campbell has passed to Cooley and Z Miller and the habit might just be to hard to break.

19. Josh Brown.

20. Jeremiah Johnson- No one cares about these picks.
