Boyd first was dumb.

 

[coolnerd]

Boyd first was dumb.

Apparently, this is a guy who actually earned the 1.01...and I like Boyd a little bit.

 

[massraider]

2.01 Kenneth Dixon

 

[Faust]

2.02 Braxton Miller

 

[eaglesfan7]

It's not a mock, 2nd round hasn't started yet.

 

[lod01]

Boyd first was dumb.

Without knowing who is drafting them, yeah, that's a huge gamble. I would go Elliott.

Or treadwell. It could pay off, but it's a contrarian pick.

 

[massraider]

Are you sure?

Now I remember why I stopped coming to this site. What used to be a forum for real insight and opinion has been taken over by trolls.

 

[Dope]

Whereas most people would take Elliot or Treadwell, the beauty of having the 1.01 pick is in taking whoever the ford you want.

There is NO WAY that any of us can predict with any certainty that Boyd WON'T be the best in this class.

I would have taken Elliot.

Also, I have the 1.05 and 1.07 in my draft and would be happy with Collins and Henry

Sorry for cracking wise. I knew it wasn't a mock, and my pick was my way of saying Collins at this point is a steal.

Big fan of Faust playing along, tho.

I wasn't speaking of the suggestions of the players I was referring to the "dumb boyd pick" and "are you sure" comment. No big deal though. I should have expected it.

So you picked Boyd?

 

[bostonfred]

By summer I expect Boyd Elliott Treadwell and doctson to be in the consensus top 5, and they are my top four right now. If I picked at 1 i would take elliot but I don't know which of the three receivers I would take second.

No I didn't take Boyd but don't have a problem with it. Seen plenty of players taken 1st overall and stink it up. Anything can happen and no one can predict what will happen.

Sorry, I didn't realize you posted your draft but didn't want feedback.

 

[eaglesfan7]

You didn't leave feedback.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

You didn't leave feedback.

I don't agree with Boyd at 1.01 at this point, I think that was fairly clear.

What sort of response did you expect in February to a mock draft, if not an assessment of who people thought went too high, or too low? Isn't that the only meaningful "insight and opinion" that can be given, absent full rosters and historical results to evaluate the needs and quality of the franchises making the picks?

You got some of both (who's high, who's low) in responses prior to the quoted post, which offered the least insight to date.

 

[Steed]

Nuk woulda been laughed at at 1.1 a couple years back

Peops need to get over themselves

But that's the problem. If you want a non-consensus guy as your #1, then trade down and get your guy and something else along with him.

 

[Slider]

...and if a trade down isn't available?

 

[tangfoot]

...and if a trade down isn't available?

It is always available, but you may need to adjust your asking price. No one in their right mind would give up the chance at 1.01 on the cheap.

Frankly, you'd have to go back a ways to find a draft where the consensus #1 was by far the best player. Last year's Gurley vs. Cooper is close now and will probably continue to be close. Watkins over ODB? Austin over Hopkins or Bell? Trent over Martin? AJ Green over Luck or Julio?

The point of the thread was to give people a glimpse into an early rookie draft for reference. That's all, nothing else. I don't care if someone didn't like Boyd or does like him at 1. Someone took ODB at 1 a couple of years ago too and people called him an idiot. Go figure.

Oh and I'm not in the league, I commish it.

 

[coolnerd]

Since I was the "other" smartace comment a the beginning of thread, I will give a little more commentary. Boyd is largely thought of as around the 5th best WR prospect. a largely safe, highly skilled guy with some physical limitations. A better bet to not be awful, than to be great. With what know in February might be a guy that falls to 2.1 in your rookie drafts. He is not a good risk/reward value as the 1.01. Like in cards even if your hand turns out to be the best, it does not mean betting a good hand as though it is a great hand is/was the proper thing to do.

 

[Doubledown1313]

Would I take Boyd #1 right now? No.

Do I have any issues with it? No.

If he's your guy, take him. Trade back and it's possible you lose him. Consensus doesn't matter when you get your guy. If people laugh at your pick, who cares. If it works out you can laugh right back at them. If your wrong at least you went with the guy you wanted.

Who are the four ahead of him? And what guys do you think could get taken to push him down to 2.1? Asking seriously.

 

[Zyphros]

If you want your guy go get him, reguardless of where you take him. There's a guy in my league (and probably most leagues), where you can't predict what he will do with his pick. Every year it looks like a reach, or just a non-conformity pick and it pans out so I've seen these picks work out.

With that being said, 9/10 guys would not take Boyd > Elliott (or Treadwell or maybe even Doctson) so there's no way in hell I'm keeping 1.01 and taking Boyd. I will trade down at a reduced cost to get my guy a little later because it's very likely he will be there at 1.04/1.05 area. Again with that being said, there's no way in hell that I'm even considering taking Boyd until the 2nd round myself so this just looks plain awful to me.

here is a list (not saying it a better or worse than any other just about where i have consistently seen him)

http://gbnreport.com/2015-nfl-draft-player-rankings/top-wide-receivers/

So in theory, there are 4 WR taken above him, a handful of RBs that wil go higher than should in fantasy drafts, a QB or two, and a couple other 2 round type WRs who other fantasy owners prefer (sheppard/miller),

 

[Borden]

Boyd at #1 is a problem. Trade back. There's always a trade available. I can't see the people at 4,5,6 all turning down a move up for their pick and 4th round pick or some waiver dollars or a very deep sleeper. Pick anything else. And I mean that's a very low end.

Saying "oh people would've laughed at taking OBJ or Hopkins first." This is ridiculous for many reasons. First, it's cherry picking examples. Second, if you're that good at scouting college players for fantasy (before they even get drafted) then you have a crystal ball and will clean up in the later rounds anyways. Again, though you can still trade back and get extra pieces.

These reasons I've given don't have anything to do this person taking Boyd at 1, it's all just the misuse of the first pick. Look at it like this, if you had the first pick in a start up or a redraft would you think it's a good move to take Boyd with the first overall? Probably not. Same thing, just on a smaller scale. I'm all for people getting the guys they want but you still need to trade and work the draft to maximize your investments.

 

[eaglesfan7]

I like Michael Thomas myself but he probably won't get drafted until the 3rd or 4th round of the NFL draft and we'll see probably 4 or 5 receivers, including Boyd, go before him.

I think this idea proves what some of us are talking about (assuming i understand you correctly), that Boyd is in the "I like this style better" player tier than the "this dude is just better" tier of player. A guy like Thomas (3rd rounder by you) over Boyd (thought to be a 2nd rounder) is not silly talk...one of preference than anything.

I'm asking this question sincerely, not being snarky, but why do you commish a league that you aren't in?

I commish many leagues for rotowire. We have commissioners that don't have a stake in the league so there's no bias. It's to make sure things are fair.

If Thomas runs a good 40, you might see a big jump. Coleman and Shepard, you can bet money against WRs under 6' falling in the draft, and make steady money.
