Drafting from 7 spot - 12 teams (1 Viewer)

Not liking this spot at all this year. Post your thoughts on draft strategy as well as some of your league details.

Here is my strategy. We start 1QB, 2 RBs, 3 WR/TE, 1K, 1D, ppr.

Assuming these guys are gone:

LT

LJ

Alexander

Tiki

Portis

6 spot could be a toss up, likely Edge, R Brown, Jordan or Jackson will be taken leaving you to pick from the 3 remaining.

I'll be going for 2 WRs in the first three rounds. The 2nd round RBs have almost as many questions as the 3rd-4th round guys. There are only a handful of WRs who are near-sure things as top 10 players. I'll be behind the 8-ball without one of the true RB studs so I need a leg up elsewhere.

Two scenarios are:

WR-WR-RB - I hate to go WR at 1.7, but if I can't trade down it makes sense. Land two of S Smith, Owens, Holt (or C Johnson, Fitzgerald, Boldin, Harrison if you prefer) and you can recoup some of what you will lose at RB#1. Your #1 RB is going to be iffy, but I'll address that below.

RB-WR-WR - Get one of your RBs first then follow up with one of the stud WRs and a guy like D Jackson. I still need to crunch the numbers to see what I will lose at WR#2 vrs what I will gain at RB#1 to make this decision. I am not enamored with any of the options for RB at 1.7 which makes the decision more difficult.

In either case I would follow up with RBs at 4.6, 5.7, 6.6. All three of these guys would be #1s on their team but with question marks. I would only need one of them to slot as my RB#2.

Target Kennison at 7.7, despite his ADP he'll finish top 25. He makes a great WR#3 and he won't be far off other teams #1 WR, particularly those that make the mistake of going RB-RB-RB (which can be death in ppr leagues if you miss on your mid-round WRs).

8-11 I'll look at two QBs, a backup RB (possible handcuff to an earlier pick) and a backup WR.

12-16 is for defense, kicker and a couple of flyers at WR in case of injury.

 
I'm in a PPR league, in this spot, and this pick is LaMont Jordan without even thinking, to me.

I hate Edge this year, and that's well documented. Ronnie Brown is in the EXACT same situation that Julius and Kevin Jones were in last year, and Kevan Barlow the year before (great in a short period of time, getting the full time job now).

Those situations didn't turn out well.

Jordan is the no brainer to me.

If he gets drafted sixth, THEN we have problems.

How many of those running backs listed were talented enough to be picked with the second pick overall in the NFL Draft? How many of those RB's listed played for winning teams?

No love for Tiki? IMO, Jordan gets more rushes and fewer receptions this year. In a PPR league, that probably works out to lower numbers but I can't be certain.

Per the original post Tiki is already gone.

My reading comprehension skills are down today. I thought the Top 6 were LJ, LT, SA, Portis, Edge, and Brown. :bag:

 
I like Steven Jackson a bit more than LaMont Jordan. PPR would balance it out, but I would still give a slight edge to SJ. I would not feel bad about getting either of these guys at #7.

Here's who I would target with your draft slot:

1.7: SJ or LaMont Jordan

2.6: Holt, CJ, McGahee, or maybe even Manning

3.7: Droughns, R.Bush, R.Wayne

I think the best outcome would be RB-WR-RB, with a potential SJ, Holt, Bush lineup. Or you could go RB-RB-WR with Jordan, McGahee, Wayne. That wouldn't be a bad start to your draft.

 
I am in a 12 team league, no ppr, 6pt all TD, 1/10 rush, 1/10 rec, 1/20 pass... start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1FLEX, 1TE, 1K, 1D...

I am in the 7th spot, but have the option of moving down if I want.... the difference in my league is it's a 0-3 player keeper league of players drafted after round 3....

So first round talent this year off the board is Larry Johnson, Lamont Jordon, Ronnie Brown..... so I'm not sure my 7th pick is 7, more like 8 or 9...

but... I have Lamont, Antonio Gates and Chris Chambers as keepers... so if I stay at 7, I am thinking about either RB or Manning... if not Manning, then I'm left with Caddie or Jackson or James.... one of those 3 should fall.... Rudi is another choice....

In your spot it's all pretty even, but I would lean toward Lamont there.... PPR is big for him... and he's clearly the starter.... Good Luck...

I could think of similar arguments to distinguish Julius/Kevin from Barlow--mainly that their OL's didn't take the huge hit that Barlow's took.Where you're picked in the NFL draft doesn't have as much to do with NFL performance as people think. There's TONS of studies to prove this.

And Julius played for a winning team last year.

 
I'm also drafting from 7 spot in a 12 league ppr league. I'm deciding b/n Jordan, S Jax, and believe it or not, Westbrook. Jordan will get less rec this year, but should have more carries. But, with Oakland trailing in most games, I don't think he equals his production from last year. Jackson should be in for a solid year. My only concern for him is, will the Rams stay in games long enough for him to get his carries. Westbrook should catch around 70 or so passes this year as Philly's best weapon. I think he could have the best year of the 3, in ppr leagues. But, and this is a big but, can he stay healthy all year? I'm not real happy with the 7th slot. Although, it should work well with getting a rb that slides in round 2, or 1 of the big 8 stud rec in round 2. :banned:

 
Jackson is where I am leaning if I go RB in one.

Just started a mock draft where I got Tiki in Rd 1 and Westbrook in Rd 2...if only.

 
I'm beginning to lean toward Jackson also. I really like Westbrook, but he is a reach at 1.7. It's possible that he slides, but more likely I would grab a stud rec, like Fitzgerald, Holt, Owens, or Moss.

 
I'll be hoping to have Ronnie available at 9, and will grab him in a heartbeat. If he fails, it's not the end of the world. I lost both my first two picks (Deuce and A.Green) last year to injury and I still managed to make it to the super bowl in a 12 team league, granted I had S.Smith, Fitzy, and Chambers. But still, if your 1st round pick turns out to be a bust, it's not the end of the world people. I would rather take a chance on Ronnie, then go after a RB with much less potential to have a great year.

Name a RB you'd take at 9 with less chance of a great year.Rudi could have a HUGE year, especially if legal troubles continue for Perry.

Cadillac could stay away from injury, and explode.

 
I guess it's just personal preference, but yet Rudi could have a huge year. But for me, there is too many things that worry me with Rudi. He is the hardest rushing schedule this year (I know, it's just a schedule based on '05 #'s but still), Palmer might not be ready to go. As for Caddy, I think he's prone to injury cause of his size, but yes, he could explode. I would love to get Ronnie in 1st and Caddy in 2nd, doubt it will be there, but I can always hope, lol. I have a feeling LaMont will be there for me at 9 in the 1st round, and I just can't see myself taking him.

I didn't know that about Rudi's schedule (just getting started on FF stuff this year...needed an offseason break).I just can't see Jordan dropping that far. He did all that last year with a crap QB (yes, even Aaron Brooks is an upgrade), and a team that played from behind all year.

Both are the same this year, with maybe a slight improvement, but Jordan finished too high last year to be considered a 10-15 pick.

 
Can you trade pick?

If so, I would try to trade up for the #4 pick.

I did the same but from the 8 spot.

We swapped our picks in rounds 1,2 and 4.

So my first 3 picks was Tiki, Holt, DJax.

 
I'm in the 7th spot as well. My initial goal is to move down.

To me Brown, Jordan, Jackson, Rudi and Edge are all in the same boat.

I'd rather drop to 11th, STILL get one of these guys and have a shot at another one of them on the way back in round 2.

If not, I plan on playing it by ear. I will for sure grab a RB in round 1.

Then in round 2, I might go DD, McGahee or one of the stud WR's.

I wouldn't mind going RB-WR and then maybe grab Foster in the 3rd.

But I see Foster slowing moving up in mocks.

 
Well 12 team draft, RB's available in the 3rd round will be: Droughns, Taylor, Dunn. Not that bad, and might be worth the risk.

 
Jackson is where I am leaning if I go RB in one.

Just started a mock draft where I got Tiki in Rd 1 and Westbrook in Rd 2...if only.

I drafted from the 7 spot, and I agree with the above. I took SJax and couldn't be happier. I really like that spot this year. Perhaps 8 would have been better, as I still could have got SJax, but I' take him at 7. Good value, IMO. Pick 5,6, and maybe even 4, are the poor value spots, IMO. (I'm not sold on Portis as the true #4)
 
Any more discussion on the 7 spot?

Two ongoing mocks:

QB Jake Plummer DEN 8.06

RB Tiki Barber NYG 1.07

RB Brian Westbrook PHI 2.06

RB Cedric Benson CHI 4.06

WR Darrell Jackson SEA 3.07

WR Joey Galloway TBB 5.07

WR Rod Smith DEN 6.06

WR Eddie Kennison KCC 7.07

WR Joe Jurevicius CLE 9.07

I like this team so far. Starting 3 WRs I loaded up on them. They are older (proven) performers, but because of this I grabbed a couple of promising backups.

Getting Westbrook and Barber from the 7 hole would be sweet, but you would probably have to burn another early pick (5th round) on RB to cover yourself in case of injury.

QB Brett Favre GBP 9.07 6

QB Billy Volek TEN 10.06 7

RB Warrick Dunn ATL 3.07 5

RB Cedric Benson CHI 4.06 7

RB Ron Dayne DEN 5.07 4

RB Thomas Jones CHI 6.06 7

WR Steve Smith CAR 1.07 9

WR Torry Holt STL 2.06 7

WR Eddie Kennison KCC 7.07 3

WR Drew Bennett TEN 8.06 7

This league went QB crazy, leaving me high and dry. I am going to own the field at WR, and should have enough coverage at RB to stay competitive.

Do not go WR with the #7 pick...I don't think Westy is a hug reach at that point...I think Lamont Jordan is in for a rude awakening this year...I talked about it in my RB thread...do a search and you'll find it. Basically Jordan will not replicate his receiving numbers with Norv Turner and KC gone from Oakland. I think his rushing numbers were very average last season and that OL is still pathetic at running the ball. brooks will be throwing a lot but I don't think dump offs to Jordan will be what's on the ticket when they fall behind quickly with a terrible defense in place at this moment.

1.07 Westbrook/Edge...I like one of them here with this format.

2.06 Fitzgerald should be available...if not than someone else from the Chad Johnson, Torry Holt, TO area will be here...I would even lock up Harrison if he is the only person left from the top7 WRs on the board. If for some reaon Dominick Dvis slides down to around here...I would pick him up as well, and then concentrate on WR for the next couple of rounds.

3.07 Chris Chambers/DJax/R.Wayne...I like all 3 of these and someone around here should be available....S.Moss also a possibility but he has been slipping to the 4th round in a lot of drafts.

4.06 Here you have to get a real battle plan for the next 3-4 rounds. You must go after a couple of RB and you can even lock up a nice 1-2 combo from several teams. These include Car/Indy/NE/NO/SF/TN...some of them like TN and SF can be had starting in the 6th round. I like all these combos but you kinda have to burn a couple of picks in a row to ge them. I do think Addai will get a lot more action than Rhodes. Dillon will start and play unless injured...same with Foster I believe...however they have good rookie back ups that could explode if given the opp.

5.07/6.06 More of the same. Don't worry about missing out on WR like Branch, Mason, Housh, Galloway, Lee Evans...you're not missing that much.

7.07/8.06/9.07/10.06 Just be looking for value around here..if its a WR/TE/QB just go with it.

 
Give me Rudi in the 2nd half of the first round. Safest pick by far in my eyes and the 2nd half of the 1st round is all about limiting risk in what is traditionally a Tier2 RB minefield.

I don't agree with you fools. LaMont is set to loose many a reception. I'm thinking Steven Jackson or Westbrook at 7 in ppr.

I am sitting @ the 7, and I plan on avoiding Lamont primarily because of his schedule the 1st 3 weeks (divisional games in my league). SD, Baltimore, and then a bye :thumbdown: I am going to really need my stud to win the division, and Lamont probably wont help as much as the other options.
 
I am in this spot in a 12 team redraft and I'm seriously considering just swapping draft spots with the guy picking 10th.

I agree - I have this spot in my 12 team league - I have a bad feeling about Jordan this year. I don't know if it's because the Raiders suck or what, but I can't shake this feeling about Jordan. History has shown that 4 or 5 of the top 10 projected backs will not live up to their draft position, so I try to play it safe in these spots. To me, R Brown or S Jackson seem safer. Mabey because of their relatively easy schedules or better situations, not sure, but I think I will be taking one of those two @ #7.The real question is who to get in the second. It will probably be a WR, but I really love Chester Taylor this year and he may not get back to me in rd 3. Would I be nuts to think of Taylor in rd 2?? I remember thinking the same thing about L Jordan last year in this very same spot. If Taylor stays healthy I think he's got a good shot at top 10, and would be a GREAT RB2. Thoughts?

Last year I had the 7th spot and I dafted Tiki/West in 1st/2nd round and it worked out great. I have no regrets. :football: This was a ppr league.
 
Well I have the dreaded 7th spot too.

I comfortable picking Steven J here, my problem is I think #6 is going to take SJ.

Now that leaves me a problem, assuming LT,SA,LJ,CP,TB are gone and he goes with Jackson my issue will be Jordon, Rudi, Westbrook or R.Brown.

Including Jackson I have all 5 of these guys right around the same projections for the year. IMO there is something out there just screaming avoid Jordon, I think it is Brooks.

I wasn't real happy with Rudi last year (first have of the season last year)

I think Brown and Westbrook will be solid performer, but they have less upside than Jordon or Rudi.

Part 2

I'm in a typical performance league, but we start 1RB,1WR,1TE and 2Flex(RB/WR/TE), am I just missing Stud WR senerio here?

Should I be looking at WR/WR/WR/RB ?

Right now I'm planning RB/(RB/WR)/RB/WR, am I just plan missing an opportunity here?

Perry has been dinged up and not practicing in camp, but it is Henry with the legal problems. The Bengals have been pretty quiet about the injury.Rudi should be very solid if Perry is hurt, as Watson doesn't pose the same threat to step in on 3rd down. Then again, Rudi seems to start every year pretty slow and is a good buy low candidate after about the forst 5-6 games. I've picked him up the last two seasons after his owners got tired of waiting for production.

 
I also have the 7th spot in 12 team performance re-draft, I am thinking going in this order:

Rudi Johnson, safe pick here, what you see is what you get, I like Steven Jackson, but I think the Rams D will be bad and they will have to pass it 50 times a game, don't like new coach in St Louis, known for splitting time(MIA)/using goal line back(MN). Brown could be here but would like to be sure he can carry the load. Jordan, not sure what to expect out of Oakland, Westbrook to early for him, but I do like him in performance league. So Rudi just sees safe, yea Perry is their for 3rd downs, but Perry is having a lot of injury problems at this time. And even if Perry is healthly, I think Rudi gets his share.

Holt, I think he's here, once again a very safe WR pick for 2nd round.

RB here, Bush will be gone, but Foster will be here and is an ok pick, as long as you back him up with Williams. Maybe Chester Taylor or Dunn also, depends what flavor your like.

 
Bump to see what my fellow 7th slot drafters are thinking *might* happen now, considering Portis' shoulder injury, and his pending slide down the 1st round draft board. Probably applies to everyone picking # 5 +

This injury might be enough to get him to drop to mid 1st or even later pending the prognosis & recovery time.

Personally I can envision Rudi moving up, jumping over S Jax, Brown, Jordan etc. based mainly on his consistency and workload w/ Palmer still ?'able for early games - since it's just that much tougher to swallow the risk of unproven potential @ #4/5. Maybe Edge, even w/ the horrid O line (rushing wise) in AZ.

The only guy I'm dropping off my short list is Jordan. OAK looks brutal. Granted they have some time to put it together, but Brooks seems lost thus far.

Hopefully I'll still get to decide between Rudi/SJax/Brown (and maybe even CP now), but what seemed like a predictable "tier" to work with has quickly become :eek: .

 
I had Steven Jackson rated the same as Cliton Portis to begin with. But it does make things interesting. Maybe I will play up Portis's injury hoping he falls to the 2nd. :yes:

 
Same boat, 7th pick in 12 team redraft. Since drawing draft order I have been convinced I was taking Jackson and WR in the 2nd round. I would LOVE to grab Holt in the 2nd, but I'm not sure I want both Jackson and Holt on my roster. Given the preference I'd rather have Holt and another RB than Jackson and another WR. So if I draft Jackson at 7, I'm gonna go nuts if Holt is there in the 2nd. Or I could just draft Rudi/Jordan/Edge in the 1st and then get Holt, but if I do that and Holt is gone before my 2nd pick then I will have totally shot myself in the foot.

Can someone convince that it is ok to draft a RB and WR from the same team, specifically if those players happened to named Jackson and Holt?

I am now giving serious thought to drafting WR/WR in the first 2 rounds (hopefully Smith and Holt) and then drafting 4 straight RBs. I could live my RB's being Foster and Dunn with those 2 WR's.

The new monkey wrench is if Portis slides now due to his injury. Due to scheduling issues, our draft is on Aug. 27 this year, so it is doubtful at that point that we will know if Portis can start the season.

 
I am in 3 redraft leagues this year and received the 6, 7 and 11 spots.

I drafted at spot 7 in the Omega league today (12 teams, 1-QB, 2-RB, 3WR, 1TE, DEF, PK -- 1 pt/reception TE/WR, .5 pt per reception RBs). Here is how the first few picks went in the 7-spot.

Portis

Westbrook

Moss, Randy

Darrell Jackson

Shockey

McNabb

Portis, Westbrook and Jackson are all injured and they dropped to me as a result.

I was drafting in the 7th spot in the league you were picking 8th. Probably going to be hurting at WR, but better value was falling to me at other positions. I'm also feeling like a dumb ### because I didn't realize this was a no trade league and thought I could trade some RB depth for WR. :wall: Anyway, for you guys who are going 7th, this is what happened for me.(same league/rules as posted above)1.7 S. Jax was pleased that he fell to me here since he is the guy I was targeting at this spot and have been watching him climb up a few spots lately.2.6 L. Fitz again happy with this pick, best WR left on the board...planned on going RB/WR3.7 K. Jones...actually hated this pick, but I felt he was the best guy on the board4.6 Droughns planned on going WR here, but again I felt Droughns value at this spot was too good to pass up especially if K. Jones sucks this year.5.7 T. Brady definitely wanted to go WR here, but Brady was another "value guy" best WR on the board was HousyourmammaIn the end I picked 7 WR hoping that I would hit the jackpot with a couple...my roster ended up like thisQB1 BradyQB2 C.

I'm in two 12 team redraft leagues, drew the 7 spot in both.

I'm thinking about trying to move as close to the 12 spot as possible for the first two rounds only (stay in the 7 hole for the 3rd and beyond). I'm thinking the 12 & 13 picks combined are better than the 7 & 17. I just don't see much difference in the pool of RBs I can get at 7-12 (James, SJax, RBrown, Rudi, Jordan). Then at 13 I can probably grab either Manning (6 pt passing TDs in one league) my top WR or another of the backs mentioned above if one slips.

Has anyone else thought about trading out of the 7 spot?

 
Currently in a 12 team slow e-mail draft at #7. PPR. Having been in the league last year I realized the PPR made some difference so I decided to go RB-WR-WR and then best value from there. We start 1qb,2rb,3wr and a flex so WR's generally go a little faster than other leagues I'm in. Four rounds are in:

Ronnie Brown

Torry Holt

Randy Moss

Corey Dillon(hoping to back him up with Maroney later)

 
5 rounds into my draft. 7th pick

Rudi

Holt

Driver

Foster

Dunn :shock:

Now with the 6th pick I'm thinking D. Williams if he's still there.

Though it might short me some WR depth or even a top QB.

Just finished my draft at #7:11.07 Brees, Drew NOS QB16.06 Brooks, Aaron OAK QB 8.06 Plummer, Jake DEN QB 1.07 Jackson, Steven STL RB 3.07 Parker, Willie PIT RB 4.06 Taylor, Chester MIN RB 10.06 Taylor, Fred JAC RB 13.07 Bruce, Isaac STL WR 9.07 Clayton, Michael TBB WR 2.06 Holt, Torry STL WR 6.06 Horn, Joe NOS WR 5.07 Mason, Derrick BAL WR 7.07 Heap, Todd BAL TE 14.06 Reed, Jeff PIT PK 12.06 Dolphins, Miami MIA Def 15.07 Patriots, New England NEP Def Our league is not as RB heavy as most, so Chester dropping to 4.06 isn't a massive surprise. Guys like Fred dropping to 10, Heap at 7.07, and Brooks real late (we drafted right when he looked absolutely awful) were steals.
