Big 4 qb's (1 Viewer)

[jurrassic]

I have taken note of the pretty universal sentiment not only on this site but others of the clear seperation (or security) nearly everyone feels for the Big 4 qb's this year (Brady, Manning, Romo, Bress). So my question is, what are people willing to give up to secure one of these four? How soon will you reach for them in your drafts? In a standard 12 team league, I have seen all 4 of them gone before pick 3.5. Will you pass up backs like LJ and Grant for Romo? What is your threshold on how soon you will jump into the big 4?

Looking at scoring in one of leagues last year (12 team, start 1 qb, 6 pts for passing tds, 1 pt for every 30, -2 for ints). Brady and Romo ranked #1 and #2 overall in the league. On the surface that is very impressive. However, looking further into the top 12, there were 9 qb's.

Brady

Romo

Manning

Ben

Anderson

Brees

Favre

Hasselbeck

Palmer

Eliminating Brady's dominant performance last year. The other 8 were seperated by about 4.5 points a game from #2 Romo to #9 Palmer.

The #2 rb (Westbrook) and the #9 rb James were seperated by 7.5 points.

I would like a top qb as much as the next guy, but the numbers from last season still suggest these guys are being overvalued. Does everyone believe Romo will repeat last year's performance (4211 passsing, 36 tds, 2 rushing td's)?

I would be shocked if he threw for 10 more TD's than Palmer again. If somebody could guarantee me that those guys would get drafted in that exact order, there is a 0.00% chance I'd take anyone before Palmer. That's just me.

I wouldn't go after them until:

Brady @ 2.01

Manning @ 2.07

Romo @ 3.01

Brees at @ 3.07

While there are variances in performance from year to year, QB is still easier to predict than RB or WR. That is where the value of the stud QBs come in since other than Romo you don't see guys like Grant, Graham or any Rookies breaking into the top 10 at QB like you do at RB and 2nd or 3rd year WRs.

I don't know the exact spots, but at some point you can't pass them up.....what I do know is that I will probably be passing them up, because it will be a great opportunity to pound the other teams by picking up value.....not only with the pick you make when you pass on them, but then also when the guys that do take them all of a sudden start trying to make up for taking them in the next few rounds and are forced to draft position instead of value....

What about Anderson?

I would wait until all those guys are gone and then pick a QB.

Assuming a standard 12 team league I would not consider Brady before the middle of the 3rd and none of the other three until about a round later - maybe more (depends what's available). In other words, I'll be waiting on my QB. If Brees were to fall into the deep 3rd in one of my home leagues I'd consider him, it's easier to acquire RB depth later in the draft in those leagues.
