Denver RBs (1 Viewer)

[Polish Hammer]

The aim of this thread is nice and simple: state in terms of draft slotting where you currently value the Denver RBs. Naturally there will be the people who will "never" draft a Denver RB b/c of the lack of certainty of who will start/play/produce. If you are one of those people, don't feel the need to post here unless you want to state where you would actually place their value.

For example:

Tatum Bell - mid 5th round

Mike Bell - low 8th round

Ron Dayne - high 13th round

Cedric Cobbs - low 17th round

Cecil Sapp - low 19th round

For my example, I am basing it on my 14 team, 19 round draft where we start 2 RB, have PPR, and have 1 offensive flex position. You don't need to include that info in your post if you don't want to. Hopefully this thread can serve as a gauge for those considering drafting any of the Denver RBs. Feel free to come back here and edit your responses as the situation changes.

Perhaps because there are 6,874 threads for discussing the exact same thing?

You are way too low on Tatum Bell. He finished last year as RB #22 in 15 games. I don't see his floor being much more than 25% below that which would still place him around RB #28 or a RB2 in your 14 teamer. Easily a 4th round pick in your example.

i agree....i think tatum bell is the one you want to look for the 4th round. notice that dayne went down, and bell mb up...but tatum stayed the same....so he will easily repeat last years numbers imo.

I think it's hard to say that until we get a better idea of what MB can do. I think Tatum saw a lot of time last year because MA is mostly a power runner and not very shifty or fast. Until we know what kingd of skill set MB possesses (all we know now is that his 40 time was slow) we won't really know TB's ability to repeat last year's numbers.

The aim of this thread wasn't to add to the constant back and forth of who is the starter/who gets the carries/who is the next undrafted RB that has a shot/Shanahan is tough to read/etc. I was trying to create a place people could come and get a snapshot (without the bickering and commentary) of where specifically people currently value the various DEN RBs. In essence, it would give a real time value ADP, rather than relying on ADP info of drafts that occurred over the past month or more with diluted info inherent in them.

In my league you are also required to start 3 WR, a TE, and the flex can be QB/RB/WR/TE. With the risk associated with picking up any DEN RB, I tend to downgrade the "higher" ones a bit and upgrade the lower ones as value plays. Last year I got Mike Anderson somewhere around the 10th-13th round and was happy with that. The Tatum owner took him high in the second and wasn't happy with how it turned out for him. I'd rather pick up a solid starting WR (a la Driver) than Tatum. Where do you have them ranked out?

Well the point wasn't to address your individual strategy in your league.Bell around #25Dayne around #35 (similiar to Barber and Gore last year)Bell around #40 (similiar to A. Smith and Jones last year), but with a lot more upside then Dayne.

I've never been a Tatum Bell lvr, but if hes really going in the 5th round, there is value to be had there. Actually, at the values you listed all of them are value except maybe Mike Bell. I'd risk a pick in the rounds those guys are listed.The situation there is crap shoot. I'll take a shot as long as its at value.

In a league where you can start 2 QBs (via the flex), I think a 5th round pick for Tatum Bell is certainly possible. In my league I can guarantee you that 14-16 QBs, 20-22 RBs, 14-16 WRs and probably 5 or 6 TEs will be picked before Bell.
