Thanks. I wasn't planning on going RB early but I feel like he's one of the elite RBs and a true difference maker on offense and I am not quite sure why so many other RBs were selected before him. My team used the early rounds to focus on defense and my offense is going to be built around a strong running attack.
I think an adequate OL can still be built. However, only a few left tackle candidates left that are barely adequate... if that.I think your o-line is gonna be bad. Stafford is going to spend a lot of time on his back.Offense:QB- Matthew StaffrodRB- Alfred MorrisWR- Larry FitzgeraldWR- Roddy WhiteTE- Jermichael FinleyDefenseT: Paul Soliai MLB: James LaurinitisSo far so good. Still plenty of good CB/S/LB's left. I am screwed at DE but no interest in reaching when the drop between tiers is huge.
What RBs would you have selected over him? I could see Forte and maybe Morris (although personally I prefer Morris). None of the others seem questionable to me.
Yes, and your TE isn't exactly known as a blocker, or your QB as elusive.I think your o-line is gonna be bad. Stafford is going to spend a lot of time on his back.Offense:QB- Matthew StaffrodRB- Alfred MorrisWR- Larry FitzgeraldWR- Roddy WhiteTE- Jermichael FinleyDefense
And to make matters worse I know last season people were concerned about Stafford's durability...
The only issue I see is that defenses will be able to completely stack the box against your run because you have no threats at QB/WR. When you go 3/out a lot your defense will get tired and it won't matter who you have back there.
Lynch isn't clearly better than any of the RBs selected so far except for Morris I think. However, getting Lynch two rounds or more later than them is pretty big.For my specific Chiefs team, I'd take Lynch over Morris, Charles, Forte, and probably Rice and Foster. Morris I think is a product of the system and Lynch clearly is the more talented back. Charles I don't think is built to handle the load I want to give my primary RB and doesn't fit my team's philosophy as a physical team. He's a hell of a player so that's probably splitting hairs and I admit Lynch isn't clearly better than him. However, give me Lynch 3 rounds later than Charles every time. Same thing for Forte. Forte is a good player but I got Lynch at a much better spot and Lynch fits my team's philosophy better. Rice and Foster are both closer and I'd honestly pick them over Lynch maybe I think all else being equal. The main worry I have for Rice is his past workload and for Foster maybe he's partially a product of the system.
It's still early and there are lots of good WRs left. QB was going to be a weakness for me picking this late regardless. Picking late, the most balanced approach you can take without over-emphasizing one side of the ball is building a defense and building a strong ground attack. Your WR/Spiller strategy is pretty eccentric and very risky. Your QB has great potential but is an unknown and your defense is almost non-existent.
Good Pick. I almost took him over Joseph, liked the idea of pairing him with Witten.
Truly a high risk, high reward pick. I thought about Gaither at LT for the Saints but thought it was too risky.
Hopefully you are checking in soon.
Did you select him to be your LT or RT? I thought about Reiff too but his limited experience in the pros ultimately made me skip over him.
I forgot I have my C already in Mike Pouncey who I think is not elite but def. in that next tier. I do need Tackles but will wait on Guards.I think an adequate OL can still be built.

I don't agree with re to Morris - obviously since I drafted him. He is a ferocious with great speed into the secondary.
I can if you PM me your cell #
We'll see how things shake out. I'm confident I can still build a solid defense with the Browns.
I'll try to help you out.
I pm'd the next person
Liking this team
The other thing for me is where is the cutoff of skipping a persons second pick without waiting? If he was the 5th pick, or the 7th pick and so on. I say give him his hour but the next guy should be ready.
What do others think?
Damn I was really hoping he'd fall another round or two. Best blocking TE in the league last year, young and can catch the ball too.
Personally I think he should be autoskipped. He knew he'd be gone but where's the list? No sense in waiting around if he hasn't even shown up to make his first pick after 2 hours.
Can't really argue with that either
This should speed things up some.
