My Perfect Draft has not gone through the normal editing cycle so there could be errors. Feel free to point them out. This is the first of a 5 part series. I am looking to grind at least one of these out every other day here.

The Perfect Draft article is always very helpful, efficient, and keeps you focused. Thanks DD

 

[Chipped Beef on Turf]

thanks - just what I was waiting for

My Perfect Draft has not gone through the normal editing cycle so there could be errors.

looks good ... the only typo i have found is that "dominate" should be "dominant" as the 2nd last word of the 2nd paragraph under "Quarterbacks."

David, will you be doing "From the Gut" again this year or is this Bloom's now?

 

[Rovers]

Steve Smith (the lesser) NYG, is one player you overlooked. I think his situation is very similar to Cotchery's... he will get a lot of targets and will be the go-to guy, although he may not be the red zone target Cotchery is likely to be. Not a critisism, just an observation.

I recently drafted both of these players in a 12 team IDP redraft at 7.05 and 9.05 respectively, after taking Wayne in the second and getting a couple of stud LB's. I expect both Cotchery and Smith to give me consistant scoring every week, not gaudy numbers, but lots of receptions and what I like to call baseline scoring... not Lee Evans nothing for weeks and then blowing up, just getting me points every week. Smith is in an ideal situation with the Giants for dare I say, maybe near 100 receptions? I expect more like 60 to 70, but the upside is there.

Oh happy Friday!

Thanks DD

Thanks DD!

Looking forward to a Perfect Auction article too if it comes out before my drafts this year.

At the end of your article you stated that you never took "someone higher than their ADP." I noticed that you drafted higher than the ADP 12 times.

ETA: Nice article BTW. Thanks.

A little type help for your TE sleepers:

Bo Scaife - TEN

Andy Hicks - The problem with taking Scaife is not the presence of former fantasy elite Alge Crumpler, as Scaife saw him off last year; it's the rookie Jared Scott that I'd be worried about. With the dearth of receiving talent and the propensity of the Titans to get the ball to tight ends, there is enough room for two Titan tight ends to become fantasy relevant. Scaife is a proven commodity and for that reason alone is well worth a shot late in drafts.

I assume Hicks meant Jared Cook.Just looking to help out.

I will be doing this as well

You also say in your "eliminating the Suck" article

Note: I never draft a player before their ADP (Assumption is that players are gone by their ADP):

If that is the case how could you draft anyone since they would be gone already?

David,

It looks like a write up by Waldman on WR Mike Walker instead got put under Javon Walker.

Thanks for reporting this...I alerted David and Clayton.

I probably worded this wrong. But if a player has an ADP of 180, my rule for the mock is that he must be selected by me before or at that pick. I have changed the phrase to say this: All picks taken at or before their ADP

The cry of "Auction! Auction! Auction!" went up from the crowd.

My auction is FAST approaching. Any ETA on the "perfect auction" article?

I am grinding on some articles today and will continue to do so through the weekend. This week got away from me as we experienced major PayPal issues and just had a boatload of content to get on the site.

One of the things we felt was extremely important was to integrate the PPR ADP data into the Draft Dominator and that will debut in tonight's release.

I am hopeful I can have all of these articles done by early next week (with the majority of them LIVE by Monday).
