[DYNASTY] Deep End Startup Draft (1 Viewer)

[Dez]

I am in a startup now Luck went pick 85 and Blackmon has yet to be drafted going into the 9th round now.I don't see much value in where they were drafted here.

That's ridiculous unless your league has bizarre scoring rules.

I mean it is a HenryMuto league...there's a reason the guy created a new sn.

The league is an FFPC dynasty league not a Henry Muto league and I created a new name because someone here got my other named banned so I had little choice.Actually Blackmon went pick 80 and Luck 85.The big reason rookies fall so far in an FFPC dynasty startup is because we have 20 man rosters, no taxi squads and on Feb 28th each year we have to cut down to 14 position players (QB/RB/WR/TE) and if you are in a startup and want to win now are you going to take a rookie likely to give you nothing this year in a prime round ? Luck certainly was all over the board in these leagues going from the 5th to 8th round. Blackmon started out in the 5th round then dropped when he had another DUI.

QBBradford, Sam STL Pryor, Terrelle OAK Rivers, Philip SDC RBJohn Clay Terrance Ganaway Wilson, David Carter, Delone IND Charles, Jamaal KCC Johnson, Chris TEN Jones, Taiwan OAK Ridley, Stevan NEP Spiller, C.J. BUF WRCunningham, BJ Hilton, TY Breaston, Steve KCC Heyward-Bey, Darrius OAKJones, Julio ATL Lloyd, Brandon STL Smith, Steve CAR TEGonzalez, Tony ATL Lewis, Marcedes JAC DEFRavens, Baltimore BAL DEVYAllen (Devy-Cal), Keenan WR I really think people are going to have a tough time finding 2 starting RBs this year. I think the RB devaluing thing was taken to an extreme and having some of the best RBs drop to the 3rd round is a bit much. Happy I traded up. Grabbing Chris Johnson and Jamaal Charles that late was fantastic value IMO.Really happy with how long I got to wait on QBs considering who I got. People hate on phillip Rivers, he certainly had a subpar 2011, but If you look at his track record, it was more of an outlier than a trend IMO. Hes still young and should be coming into his prime. Still love Bradford, hes gotten an unfair bad rap because of the horrible situation hes been in. I have faith the Rams Get him at least one playmaker this offseason(even if thats resigning Brandon Lloyd) and hopefully sure up the line, If Bradford gets time, he will be a top 10 fantasy(and real) QB. I suppose I'm taking a gamble on guys like Brandon Lloyd and Steve Smith because of age, but I also have guys like Julio Jones and Darrius Heyward Bey backing them up (or potentially passing them.) The tight end position isn't pretty obviously, but waiting till the 13th round to get a guy that is almost guaranteed top 10 next year is fine with me. Ravens D is solid and will get me some solid games, I'm happy for how late I got them. The pick I'm most excited about is Keenan Allen. Seems like the odds on favorite to be 1.1 next year and It was worth a late 4th round selection considering what his value will be by next year. I think hes a better prospect than blackmon and look how high Blackmons value is right now.All in all I think I did a good job of mixing youth and veterans and I see myself as the a top contender.........Obviously........I think all of us do at this point

Wait, so I win right? ... the draft part at least LOL

OVERALL

My goal with most dynasty drafts is to draft a young-ish core avoid busts with my first 6-7 picks. If you can do that, you'll usually be in pretty good shape. I give this draft a B or B+. I think I have a solid core in place for the next few seasons, but in a 14 team league that starts this many players, you're almost always going to be weak somewhere. I have some issues at QB and RB. If my sleepers don't hit, I could be in trouble. A lot of it will probably come down to Doug Martin. If he becomes a Forte/Rice kind of producer, then I'll be in excellent shape. If he's more along the lines of Hardesty, I'll need to make some moves. I like what I did though. I have a young team that could contend in year one if it catches a break or two. If my team bombs in year one, I don't need to panic because I have all of my draft picks and most of my key players are young talents whose value is still ascending.
