Drafting in the 11 slot (1 Viewer)

[mtshapanka]

I have the 11th pick in a 12 team league. QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1 WR/RB, 1WR/QB, TE. 1pts per 10 yards rushing/receiving, 6 pts per receiving/rushing TD, 1 pt per 25 yards passing, 4 pts per passing TD.

I can probably land either Lamont Jordan or Rudi in the 11th spot. Who should I expect in the 2.02 (14th overall) spot? I think if Willis McGahee is there, I need to take him because there is such a steep dropoff to the next RB (J Jones maybe). Peyton might be there also. I am not sold on him being in a class by himself this year, like he has in the past few years. I can probably also have my shot at any WR. What would you all expect to take with that spot (both the 1.11 and the 2.02)?

Actually, he hasn't been in a class by himself the last few years. However, I suspect he will be this year.You can't go wrong going RB and then a top WR.

 

[mtshapanka]

So how is it that there are multiple choices for all other draft slots, OTHER THAN 11. Any help would be appreciated since there is no help in the sticky threads. Thanks

 

[caglassc]

I'm in the same boat - picking 11th. However, I am in the first year of a keeper league so I am wrestling with were some of the younger RBs will fall - i.e. Bush, Addai, Maroney, etc. My hope is that a Rudi Johnson falls to me in the first round and then take the best WR on the board but might lean towards Fitzgerald as his age and upside are things I can't ignore.

 

[mtshapanka]

I think Fitgerald will be the #1WR. If I am going to take a WR at 2.02, I am leaning toward Fitz (or maybe Holt). I think Smith is overvalued. And I don't want to own TO because who knows if he will be playing a full season. What do you all think of taking J Jones or Westbrook at 2.02?

 

[bonesman]

You can't go wrong going RB and then a top WR.

yea... that seems to be the consensus... the 11th is basically the same as the 12th... except you have to worry about the guys you are targeting each round getting snagged by the guy on the bend... i'll be trying to narrow it down to 4 guys i want by the time it gets to me... so i know one 1 of them will still be there when it get's back aroundi see myself going RB-WR, WR-RB.... but i won't hesitate to go RB-RB WR-RB or RB-WR-RB RB if guys that i'm high on fall

 

[BassNBrew]

I will give you the correct answer to your riddle...

1. RB

2. WR

I've been in numerous drafts and watched value fall to the 3/4 turn. I'd just as soon have Foster, Parker, or Lewis as any of the RBs you can get at 2.2. By starting off RB/WR, you give yourself flexibility grab the value left at 3/4, whatever it made be.

 

[bonesman]

^^^^^ nope... definately cannot be ignored

but neither can TO's history of off field issues... and even injury (he's tough but a nagging groin or hammy could really hamper stats).... couple that with him now having a coach like Parcells ... it's a head-ache i'm not eager to risk at 1.11 or 2.2

 

[Fishnic]

im drafting 11, using draft dominator in some mocks, and it always suggests antonio gates as my #2 pick after a rb in the first round. i cant do it. i guess i have to tweek the projections on gates

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

I will give you the correct answer to your riddle...1. RB2. WRI've been in numerous drafts and watched value fall to the 3/4 turn.

I agree (obviously, I just posted the same) but especially the part about the 2nd round. I have no inclination of taking ANY of the RB's there.

I have the 11th pick in a 12 team league. QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1 WR/RB, 1WR/QB, TE. 1pts per 10 yards rushing/receiving, 6 pts per receiving/rushing TD, 1 pt per 25 yards passing, 4 pts per passing TD.I can probably land either Lamont Jordan or Rudi in the 11th spot.

What would you all expect to take with that spot (both the 1.11 and the 2.02)?

Just did our big money-league draft on Sunday and was in the same spot that you are. For background, we start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR/TE. 1pt/10yds rush & rec, 1pt/25yds pass and 6pts for all TDs.Our league is pretty experienced as a whole, and tends to be RB heavy. Up through last year, you could count on 19-20 RBs to be gone by the end of round 2, with 2-3 WRs and 1-2 QBs. This year, however, ended up as an anomaly with 8 WRs being drafted in the 2nd round alone. With the 11th pick, I was on the front end of that WR run at 2.02 and found decent RB/WR value at the next two turns (3/4 and 5/6).1.11 - here I took whichever of the 6 "Tier 2" RB's were left, and went with Lamont over Caddy. Low stress choice, as I was just going to pickup whichever one fell my way. I hoped for Rudi or Ronnie, but they went at 1.06 and 1.09, respectively.2.02 - after Caddy & McGahee went 1.12 & 2.01, I started the WR run with Torry Holt (1st WR taken). I probably would have considered Caddy here if he would have fallen.3.11 - picked up Roy Williams here (over DJax) ... RBs already gone were C Taylor, Jamal, R Bush, Jones / Jones, FWP, DD and Dunn so I felt good to get another top-12 WR (IMO) here, knowing that the guy in the 12-spot was looking for a WR after going RB-RB in rd 1&2.4.02 - sure enough, he went WR-WR at the turn, taking DJax & Hines Ward. I picked up Deshaun Foster as my RB2, although I would have considered DJax. Gates went at 4.03 and was also a consideration.5.11 / 6.02 / 7.11 - I lumped these together because I went RB-RB-RB as I continued seeing decent value at these picks. In order, I took Tatum Bell, Frank Gore and Thomas Jones. Combined with Foster, I feel very good about one of these guys hitting as a nice RB2 to go along with Jordan, and I like my depth for potential injuries & trade bait. Was hoping to pick up C Benson, Mike Bell and/or D Williams to complement what I already had, but they went 4.06, 5.01 and 7.06, respectively. I know I let Williams slip too far, but am just as happy overall with the RBs that I scored.8.02 - picked up my WR3 in Rod Smith. Ike Bruce and Terry Glenn both went a few picks before ...9.11 - Last guy to draft a QB, I went with Jake Plummer (surprised to find him here still). I had originally been targetting Warner here, but he went early at 6.12.Rounds 10-16 - not as excited, but I rounded out my picks with backup WRs, RBs, QB and K/DEF.Hope this helps as a set of recent data-points as you study your 11th draft spot in a 12-teamer.

Has anyone gone WR,WR, in rds 1 and 2 at this spot? If so, how'd your team fill out? I've been considering the high risk move and dominating at the WR position, then filling out my group of running backs in the 3/4/5th rounds.

 

[GoBills02]

I couldn't believe it, but I was picking 11th in my league.....went Steven Jackson/ Willis McGahee.

Will that ever happen again, probably not, but it gives you hope!!!!!

I'm at 11 in a slow e-mail draft and decided to "buck" the trend and go WR-WR,being a PPR league helped. I grabbed Holt and Smith. I know the RB's at 3 and 4 won't be great but given that we start 2 RB's,3WR's and 1 flex I feel comfortable going the WR-WR route. I'll let you know who pops up at 3 and 4

 

[LTsharks]

Drafting in the 11th spot today...

Start 2RB, 3WR... 1 ppr for WR, .5 for RB

1.11 Jordan

2.02 Steve Smith

3.11 Droughns (guy at 12 took 2 wr in first)

4.02 Driver

got ugly after that, i'm not real excited about it, but that should give you an idea of how it might start.

I definitely think THE Mannings will be in a class by themselves. I think this is the year for Eli. Quite a family. Take Eli later. Get tremendous value.

I think that's the key. You can start 2 QBs each week?! I would take Peyton in a second even at 1.11 if you can start 2 QBs. Grab someone under-rated like Delhomme, Plummer, or Vick and plug them into your starting lineup as well!Since you can start 3 RBs as well, there's an even greater emphasis on RB depth. Having 3 decent RBs who might see 300 carries will get you more points on average than taking an extra WR. Guys like McGahee, Rudi, Caddie, Willie Parker, Warrick Dunn -- they'll all see tons of carries this year.

I think there was only one other guy in this draft that was using info from Footballguys, watching the way they picked. I am dropping Stevens and Chargers on waivers and taking another WR (Williamson,Bryant & Wilford are available) and a kicker to cover the week 3 bye .

Drafted 11th in the first year of a keepe league. The draft really didn't pan out as I thought. Reggie Bush went at pick 1.6.

My first few picks went as follows:

1.11 C Williams

2.2 Chad Johnson

3.11 Kevin Jones

4.2 Roy Williams

5.11 Todd Heap

Fiarly happy with my team - younger/rookie RBs just flew off the board.

[chedha]

looks like portis will fall to me in a 12 man redraft at the 11 spot.. should he be avoided at this point?

 

[KevT]

looks like portis will fall to me in a 12 man redraft at the 11 spot.. should he be avoided at this point?

I have the 11th pick also. I think Portis will be fine. And the Duckett trade doesn't really worry me. Sellers and company had around 10 TDs last year so Duckett can't do too much more damage, I wouldn't think.The thing with Portis though is this. If you pass on him with both your picks and he slides to the SA/LJ/LT/Tiki owners, that could be a disaster. Picking Portis might be a very good defensive play, even if you don't want him.

 

[Marc Levin]

From the 11-spot you have an OBLIGATION to "game" the guy in the 12-spot. (at least all sharks do, anyway)

If you fail to make the #12 guy groan at least once, you did not do your job. Also, you have dropped the ball if you fail to play every turn correctly - you should KNOW exactly what two positions (maybe even what two PLAYERS) the guy picking #12 will take once you pass the 1/2 turn. And you need to know how to play that knowledge to your advantage.

The 11 spot is fun as heck if your goal is to see what players you can allow to drop past your X.11 spot and still have them there at your X.02 spot. It's a huige advantage to that spot to know that information.

 

[Marc Levin]

looks like portis will fall to me in a 12 man redraft at the 11 spot.. should he be avoided at this point?

Are you serious? unless you know something the rest of us do not, getting a guy at #11 who was considered top-5 before his injury is something you can NOT pass up.

 

[Marc Levin]

If you pass on him with both your picks and he slides to the SA/LJ/LT/Tiki owners,

If that happens, your fellow drafters - not the #11 guy - are complete morons.And if you pass on Portis at 1.11 and 2.02, one of those picks better be a top-WR.I love Reggie Bush and Willie Parker, but there is NO WAY those two RBs (who I currently have ranked #12 and #13, BTW) should be on a redraft roster before Portis. I'm shocked this is being discussed seriously.

 

[jmacleod]

Heh... I managed to snag Steven Jackson at 01.11 and then Rudi Johnson at 02.02 .... don't ask me how both of them were left!!!

When it came back to 03.11, Kevin Jones was still there, so while I had 2 awesome RB's already, I couldn't pass up the value for Jones and took him, leaving me with Roy Williams at 04.02.

What ended up is that I have the strongest RB depth in my league as I also got Jamal Lewis in round 6 then Laurence Maroney after the draft by dropping Bubba Franks.

On the WR side I ended up with Williams, then Terry Glenn and Michael Clayton.

I picked up Todd Heap in round 5.

Got Carolina defense in round 11, John Kasay in round 13.

For QB's I got Aaron Brooks and Brett Farve in rounds 7/8, then picked up Chris Simms on the free agent after the draft as somebody else dropped him.

All for all I like my chances, figure I have a playoff team, all depends on how the weeks go and of course those crucial 3 playoff weeks.

Cheers,

J

In the middle of a draft right now, non ppr, qb, 2rb, 3wr, te, k, def

from the 11 slot I have gone:

Ronnie Brown

CJ

Chambers

Driver

Gore

The guy in the 12 hole took both FWP and Portis on the turn. I knew I could look wr at 3 cause he was going wr/wr for sure. When he took ward and roy Williams and nothing was left at rb i took driver. I could not chance him taking rb#3 on this turn so I took Gore, hoping mcnabb falls to me as qb #8.

 

[ratdog]

I think Fitgerald will be the #1WR. If I am going to take a WR at 2.02, I am leaning toward Fitz (or maybe Holt). I think Smith is overvalued. And I don't want to own TO because who knows if he will be playing a full season. What do you all think of taking J Jones or Westbrook at 2.02?

How about Chad & Steve Smith

you should wait to pick up your bye week 3 kicker until week 3. another option is to package Vanderjagt in a two for two trade involving a slightly lower tier kicker and a position player that you're sweet on in return for Vanderjagt and a position player that you can part with. This frees up a bench spot for a free agent pick up that you might need more that a bye week kicker and the drop off in kicker from Vanderjagt to the next guy probably is less than whatever position player you end up improving yourself with.

Rudi

Portis

Boldin

Driver

Gates (no manditory TE)

my RB 3 might be week if i don't catch a break (Addai, Noorwood, and DeAngelo)... but i think at least one of those rookies will find themselves w/ some xtra playing time... if not, i might be able to work a trade to someone who wants to handcuff Dunn, Foster or Rhodes.... i have Burleson and Shockey on the bench to combo one of them with

I picked up Todd Heap in round 5.

Got Carolina defense in round 11, John Kasay in round 13.

For QB's I got Aaron Brooks and Brett Farve in rounds 7/8, then picked up Chris Simms on the free agent after the draft as somebody else dropped him.

All for all I like my chances, figure I have a playoff team, all depends on how the weeks go and of course those crucial 3 playoff weeks.

Cheers,

I agree, but I think you'll really struggle at WR. If you can trade RB depth for a blue chip WR, you'll be in GREAT shape.

Also drafted out of the 11 spot...

12 team PPR redraft. Start 1Q, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 FLEX, 1K, 1 DEF

All TD 6 points

1 point for each 25 Passing Yards; 5 points at 300 yards

1 point for each 10 Rushing Yards; 5 points at 100 yards

1 point for each 10 Receiving Yards; 5 points at 100 yards

The first 10 players off the board were (surprise!) RBs:

So I bucked the trend and went WR.

01.11 Torry Holt

02.02 Brian Westbrook

03.11 Reggie Wayne

04.02 DeShaun Foster

05.11 TJ Houshmandzadeh

06.02 Dominic Rhodes

07.11 Rod Smith

08.02 DeAngelo Williams

09.11 Aaron Brooks

10.02 Ben Watson

11.11 Chris Simms

12.02 Seattle Def

13.11 Roddy White

14.02 Jay Feely

15.11 Wali Lundy

16.02 Miami Def

The only major problem I see is week 9 when my top two RBs are on a bye. My QBs aren't the strongest but they're servicable in my opinion.

I aswell drafted 11 in a 12 team league, and here's my first couple of picks:

Standard Scoring

1. Lamont

2. Willie Parker

3. TJ

4. D. Mason

5. D. Rhodes

6. B. Watson

Not bad for the 1st six, couple of people by the 7th had 4rb already

Mole,Just curious why you took Watson in the 6th? Guess it depends on when your draft was held. Was it after he started climbing the boards or did you feel he wouldn't be available in later rounds.Not criticizing, just wondering. I drafted him the night of the NE - Wash game before he caught his TD and went for 97 yards. Other owners kept saying "nice pickup in the 10th". All the while I kept thanking the FBG forum members and contributors.

Drafted from the 11 spot last night in a 12 team, 1ppr league. It was my intention to try and get what I had projected as a top 8 RB, but it wasn't meant to be. Also, the league has max and min rules for positions. 14 total roster players.

1- Steve Smith, then the other hammy went.

2- Larry Fitzgerald. I just couldn't decide which 2nd tier RB I wanted so I committed to the WR WR strategy.

3- Kevin Jones. I was actually pleasantly surprised he was here.

4- Donald Driver- straight VBD pick here

5- Jamal Lewis

6- T Brady. 5 or 6 QB's had gone by now and he was still there for some inexplicable reason.

7- D. McCallister

8- Michael Clayton

Then just finished up with K's and D's and Chris Simms as my QB backup. According the Draft Dominator I have the strongest overall team by a pretty fair margin and the third best starters. We'll see.
