In any league where a qb's are difficult to acquire (2 qb leagues, 32 team leagues), landing even a 'mediocre' talent like Matt Ryan or Eli Manning can give you a huge leg up on the competition. Luck/Griffin will be very high picks. I agree with Concept Coop. If either of them fall past the #3 spot that's tremendous value.
Quick at the very worst should be right there with Gerell Robinson. They're both similar in size and the way the move. Worse case scenario with both is Marques Colston.Jenkins is a Steve Breaston/Nate Burleson type. Broyles = Eddie Royal.Tommy Streeter is closer to Stephen Williams than Brian Quick is. Much slighter build. Another comparison is Danario Alexander.Two guys that may sneak into your rankings is LaVon Brazill and B.J. Cunningham. Also where's T.Y. Hilton? Might be this year's Randall Cobb.Anyway, this year seems deep in WR, similarly talented guys bunched up together. The landing spots might make or break some guys.
Worst case?
I think Hilton is a lesser version of Jerrel Jernigan. Talented, but too small to play outside. Disagree on Quick. Robinson is more solid and agile. Quick is a giraffe.
Best case is immediate Hall of Fame I guess.
Love the links to the highlight. This is nice for guys like me who don't follow the college game much but still play in dynasty leagues.
Go big or go home. I don't feel you can be competitive in fantasy by being conservative. Gotta be bold and hop on the train before it leaves the station.
So far you have Richardson as better than Adrian Peterson, Quick and Robinson as worst case scenario Marques Colston. Do you have a full list of your prospects and predictions on how they'll turn out in the NFL?
I think you're crazy. But each to his own.
Being bold and willing to take chances is absolutely a good strategy. No doubting that, but I'm not sure I understand how making such a ridiculously bold prediction about a tier 3ish receiver like Robinson is applicable to that strategy. We're debating and assessing talent levels. Isn't that more of a theory to keep to yourself (and base your draft on). I personally have seen nothing that would indicate Colston is an even remotely comparable talent. Not to mention Colston was originally a TE.
Fantasy-wise, Colston was a TE.And yes I'm assessing and debating along with everyone else on this board. Why do I have to keep my theories and strategies to myself? Am I not allowed to post?I post what I see. I only do this as a hobby and may not have as much time available to devote to watching video as some more prominent draftniks/scouts/gurus. If you disagree that's fine, just try to give reasons. Thanks.If you check numerous draft sites, from media-types and no-names in Twitter, you'll see some players all over the place in the rankings.

Colston was drafted as a TE. Look it up.My main point is that it's not exactly a constructive point/statement to make when your intent is to be completely bold and over the top.

Stafford had been injury prone and proven nothing yet. I saw an opportunity to potentially grab a superstar at the QB position which we get 6 point tds for. QBs are gold in my league and I have always favored elite QBs/WRs to RBs. Just a difference in strategy philosophy I suppose. Apparently I wasn't the only one to think this way as my league-mate rejected the offer.....unfortunately.'Hitchcock Presents said:

lol... speaking of tired.
That is awesome.
Why does it really matter when you're talking 4 year rookie contracts? I understand the upside issue, but the guy is an athlete and I believe is more NFL-ready than a 22 yo. kid. It's not like he was out bagging groceries at Hy-Vee all those years, he was trying to be a MLB player.
What are your thoughts on a guy like Darrell Scott from USF? Top prospect out of HS, transfers, then has one season in a time share.
To be honest, I haven't watched him at all since he left Colorado. I'll have to try to find some recent footage, because it looks like he had a pretty good year for South Florida.I liked him out of high school, but after seeing him at Colorado I came away thinking he had been overrated and was not a great NFL prospect. Still, guys like this are worth monitoring. I'll be especially curious to see what, if any, kind of draft pick a team spends on him. Right now my guess is that he's strictly a late round flyer in the NFL and in FF.
Yeah, my wife thought so too. But I really was on about one of hour sleep.The point is that when you draft a 28 year old you're taking most of his future development off the table. I think most of that opportunity is gone by age 24 - but even if that's not true you've got a guy who's 30+ years old by the time he's got his feet set in the league. Really just think he's an absolutely horrible pick for some team. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Browns do take him.
It makes some sense when you consider that different systems require different types of receivers. There's no doubt that Wright has better downfield speed than Blackmon. At the same time, Blackmon is a lot more physical and a much better possession WR.
What's there to disagree about on his instincts? I never made a comment on them being good or bad, just that I'm unsure.I appreciate the feedback and links, but they really aren't helping me much. On his successful runs I see some gaping holes. Yeah, he is running away from the S on Fresno State but that is kind of the problem I have. It's Fresno St., not a major conference team so I'm trying to gauge the athletic ability vs. lesser competition. I don't disagree with some of what you're saying but I'm just not sold either. I don't particularly like his feet. They don't seem especially quick to me. For instance I think L. Miller has much quicker feet and runs with more suddenness to the hole. It also seems to me that he dances a bit in the backfield at times. That dancing mixed with some of the gaping holes makes me unsure on his vision. Perhaps that was just him waiting for blocks/seems, I'm not sure.What kind of numbers would you envision him posting at the combine? Does he have 4.5 speed or 4.4 speed. How explosive is he, 40 inch vert or low 30s? I suppose I can just wait for these answers but I thought maybe someone here had a lead on things.
I'm loving Wright the more and more I dig into him. Saying he is #1 is pretty courageous given Blackmon's body of work but I can see how some teams could rank them that way. They are totally different in style and will fit different systems in the NFL. What I love most about Wright is that he gets separation, in a big way.
good stuff manDraft Luck and never worry about the QB position for a decade.
I'm in the same boat with the #3 in a league where I need a QB (Freeman, Skelton). Feels funny to plan on Luck even in that scenario.
