Finally Atleast im not the only one who thinks this. LT is LT, not Thomas Jones, Curtis Martin, Corey Dillon, EVEN Fred Taylor. LT is LT, One of, if Not the BEST RB still in the game today. He will continue to approach his championship and will put up good #'s for him team until his team does so. Mark my word.

The day i take a 30 year old RB with the 2nd or 3rd pick is the day i need to stop playing in dynasty leagues and only play redrafts.

I meant my 2nd RB or 3rd Rb on the squad; I would of taken one of the younger guys w/ my 1st pick... then land a solid vet like LT w/ my 2nd RB pick

Ah got it. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[gonzobill5]

one of these things is not like the other!

I'll repeat - he has never had less than 50 receptions or 10 TDs. And next year won't be the first time. If you want to try to predict what LT will do the next few years, take a look at Emmitt, who peaked in '95, had a comparative down year in '96, an injury plagued year in '97, then three consecutive very good years from 98 through 00.

To get this guy this late is ridiculous. When considering playing styles, age, and injury history, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him play as long as Jacobs - and in PPR, he'll do it at a much higher level.

Exactly! In a dynasty league, I would find it almost impossible to get the 1.01, 1.02 or even 1.03 for guys like Westy and LT. Heck, I doubt you'd get those for Portis. Yet the rookies are still sitting here and the old men RB's are off the board. Odd stuff I tell ya.

 

[KoolKat]

The way Jacobs runs I see the 3 year gap between him and Tomlinson as negligible. The fact that its PPR also added to my choice of LT.

Just goes to show how overrated draft picks usually are. I am not particularly sold on any of the top 3 RBs. I like Knowshon most, but I think I would rather have the guaranteed 3+ years out of Portis or LT than gamble on a guy who could quite possibly be a bust. Just look at the Brown, Benson, Caddy class.

what? do you play in a 6-team league?

 

[3nOut]

wow. just wow. i stopped voting after jacobs fell out of the top 12. I don't care if this is a dynastly list or not, many of these guys should not be drafted before Jacobs. some dynasty threads on this board really boggel my mind in that age plays too much of a factor. I want to win now. If i keep drafting and trading for gys simply becasue they are younger, i will always be rebuilding becuase thre will always be someone younger with upside or potential. give me the proven studs now and i will trade or draft future studes in the future.

You play your way, I play mine. You should actually be thankful people think differently than you. If you are correct, that means even more value for you!Do you really need the polls to validate your perspective?

 

[Crippler]

I go for LT here as most have stated. I love the Jacobs career vs LT

He makes an excellent value pick in round 3. A good team will always have mix of vets and youth. LT helps win championships.

 

[Captain_Apocalypse]

Voted LT, no-brainer for me. IMO this is about the spot I would start thinking about rookies and Pierre Thomas types, still think Sproles should be here somewhere.

It's a different dynamic in an existing league than an initial draft. In an existing league, the owner of a top rookie pick 9 times out of 10 has a terrible team and needs help at a number of areas. An early rookie pick is worth more than a vet to that team as rookies take a few years to develop and allow you to continue to add pieces around them for the next few years. An existing vet's peak production is wasted on a team that isn't competitive and could even possibly hurt their team by hurting their future draft position.

what? do you play in a 6-team league?

Based on this poll, LT is a mid 2nd. Which would be your 2nd RB if you went RB/RB. And I agree with him, locking in LT as your 2nd RB is crazy value.

I was wondering the same thing. A lot of WR's would be off the board at this point...

 

[Ariakis]

Wow Run DMC before Jacobs and LT? He is in line to lose carries to Bush next year. Jacobs and LT with these next 2 in either order anything else is incorrect

 

[LBH]

Kevin Smith all day

Addai has 1 down year and goes from a top 5 pick to outside the top 20.

Interesting.

SeriouslyHeres a 12 team redraft I did last yr; 1st 18 RBs last till the end of the 3rd

You could easily Take a young Buck in round 1 / a top WR / then comeback around I couldn't see turning down LT; even if hes only going to make a yr.

Non-ppr, I guess there were 0 QBs and 3 WRs taken by pick 18.

Addai has 1 down year and goes from a top 5 pick to outside the top 20. Interesting.

It is always and will be a what have you done for me lately!Its a shame these polls always have to be skewed.

I would agree that it's skewed. Its skewed towards players who don't break down with 225 carries or less per season. Addai is a decent RB that was in a great situation. That situation has diminished a bit, and it wouldn't come as a surprise if Addai had more competition this year. As for the LT lovers, I understand you want to point to Emmitt as the example. Emmitt was extremely fortunate to play as long as he did at the position. LT is showing the signs that the end is coming. Each of the past two seasons has been worse than the prior one, and health concerns are now cropping up much more frequently. Add in Sproles, and the GM openly talking about drafting LTs replacement, and it doesn't look good. Personally, if I am going to roll the dice on getting good production for a couple of seasons out of an older RB, I'd look at Larry Johnson. A ton less miles, and an offense that could very well make a big jump this year.

That's OK - it where you can find value in a draft or trading, etc.Seems pretty clear to me that Addai is a little soft compared to some other backs out there. He was banged up last year and he does not play well injured.HOWEVER, here is a 25 year old RB, on a great offense (and yes, it is still great), who has had two very solid years and one bad one, who was drafted in the first round and definitely has some talent. To get a guy like that as RB #20 (or thereabouts) in a dynasty league would be pure gold.I understand him falling from where he was, there is a risk that he continues to get frequently banged up and starts receiving a smaller share of the pie. But there is also a very good chance he rebounds next year (none of his injuries were major) and has a NICE season. If things go well, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him finish in the top 5 next year. Not too many guys left at this point you can say that about, and NONE of them are anywhere near his age.

EXACTLY!! Top 5 again next year...

 

[gianmarco]

Seems Jacobs, K. Smith, P. Thomas, Addai, and Ryan Grant should be some very nice value plays this year.

LT at RB18, I want to join some dynasties this yr

 

[gianmarco]

Not necessarily saying they need to replace anybody. The fact that you can get these kind of quality RB's this late is good and would make trading down a very nice value play as I think the guys I listed could put up very similar #'s to some of the guys ranked 5-6 spots ahead of themIf you want to know, I would personally have a couple of the guys I listed (Jacobs and Smith in particular) higher than Ronnie, McFadden, Portis, LT, and Westy at this point. But, again, as I said right above, even if I had my way and those were the rankings listed, it would simply make Portis and Ronnie and LT, etc. strong value plays. Either way, the RB 17-23ish range is going to yield some potentially highly productive RB's at a pretty low cost.

Would you really be shocked if B. Jacobs, P. Thomas or R. Grant ended up top 5 next year? They are all about the same age as Addai, and have produced at top 5 level for stretches of time during their brief careers. I'd say they all look more promising than DeAngelo Williams did going into 2008.

 

[Moe Green]

How quickly the mighty have fallen. Wasn't he around the #3 ranked dynasty RB right before last season?
