JJones as the 1.01 / Powell, Carter, Helu as picks 1.09 - 1.11; whats surprising was that Helu was last in that little group.

Then the 2 LBs were picked 2.01 and 2.02, very strange

No, but will take a look!

I thought Matt Williamson looked down on fantasy footballers.

More surprising to me was that Powell landed at 1.09.Could be a high-scoring IDP league, leading to the early LBs...

I thought Matt Williamson looked down on fantasy footballers.

I don't think that's the case. He's been extremely active in this league, and won the playoff bracket after having the third best regular season record, all-play record and total points finish. He is a regular listener and sometimes contributor to the Audible and friend to a few of us on staff.This is the second year of the league, which was founded and being run by Dynasty League Football. they're also blogging about the draft if anyone is interested. Last year's draft was extremely active. A couple of teams played with a 2011 and 2012 clearly in mind and had/will have multiple first round picks in 2011 and 2012. That may have skewed things a bit. I had Carter and Vereen very close in the second tier of running backs. I considered moving down a few slots but didn't want to get shut out of both.Definitely some head-scratching picks along the way, though everyone has his own draft board. Was pretty happy to find Edmond Gates in the late 3rd, Bruce Carter in the late 4th, Dion Lewis in the late 6th. Jake Locker and Taiwan Jones both went much later than I expected, and I might end up kicking myself for passing on Jones in the 5th and 6th.

I was in this rookie draft with Jene, and I don't think I'd try and gain any ADP info from this draft. As Jene mentioned, one team had a bunch of picks at the front of the draft, so that can alter things. Couple that with some veterans being grabbed in the draft and some newer Dynasty team owners in the mix and I would not say that this is the best reflection of in what order these players should be coming off of the draft board. (I was literally shocked to see Locker in Round 5 of this draft, for example.) That said, it is interesting to see some other opinions on the Dynasty depth chart as far as rookie teams go.

A lucky guy got Vereen in the 2nd. I can see Carter going over him, but Powell and Helu!?! I got Vereen at 10 and Powell at 30 in my rookie draft.

No love for the QBs, even in a good class like this one.

The bolded would be wildly up for debate. Aside from Ponder, nobody is close to Pro Ready and while there is a lot of potential, there is even more risk than usual.
