I like Graham here

 

[az_prof]

Given Graham's age I don't like him. If he was any good he would have won a starting job before now.

I know, with this voting it's almost like voters are trying to make people not like the rookies.

 

[cstu]

You guys voting EG would really trade the 1.04 pick for him?

 

[FUBAR]

Given Graham's age I don't like him. If he was any good he would have won a starting job before now.

I know, with this voting it's almost like voters are trying to make people not like the rookies.

I think this is where there's a flaw in the polls.Almost everyone would prefer 1.04 to any of these RBs. The 3 rookies add up to more votes than any other RB. But - who do they take with 1.04? So we're splitting the rookie vote, then we don't know where these guys will land, so some people avoid them. These polls will look a LOT different as to rookies come June.

 

[Devine Intervention]

You also have to figure besides the top 3 rookies alot of their value comes from the situation they land in, which is obv unknown at this point. Im sure If any of them land in Denver or Houston then thier value goes up, but at this point it could b any of the next tier rookie RBs.

 

[renesauz]

Finally went Jones. While y'all might be right about the rookies (one could shoot up higher then here in the right situation), Jones has more upside then any other back left.

This far from the season's start, this poll's usefullness has about run out.

I know I would vote alot differently. it's just hard to pick some of the rookies not knowing where they are going. This poll should be done again post draft.

 

[travdogg]

At this point it has to be Graham.

 

[FUBAR]

does KJ finally win this?

stay tuned tomorrow for the next exciting episode of

 

[madd futher]

This is a dynasty draft, right? I'm pimpin' Bradshaw here again. You guys are missing something...go back and look at his running last year. There is no question in my mind that he is a better, more complete back than Jacobs, and will be the 60% (and far more productive) back in this RBBC. The only thing that mucks up the equation is the status of Ward, but I'd be willing to take that chance.

Despite his age, there is a very good argument for Graham here though, based on last year's production. I think I'd take Ray Rice (not knowing where he will land), before taking KJ - he still has to show me he can stay on the field.

Except for maybe Felix, i don't really like ANY of the others (they're all out of my top 30 RBs).

 

[teamroc]

First of all, it's Edgerrin James. It's like going to avsforum and bragging about your Soney TV.

He had 1,400 total yards and 7 tds, and he cant even sniff the top 25 RBs?

He was a top 10 RB last year. I believe the Zona offense will continue to improve under great coaching.

Staff ranking is 15th.

And people are talking Ahmad Bradshaw? Career 200 yards? Or do you love his 1 career TD?

"The Newark Star-Ledger reports that the agent for RB Derrick Ward has met with the Giants, and the two sides are trying to connect on a three- or four-year deal."

Bradshaw isn't even a lock to be the BACKUP behind Jacobs.

"If he stays with the Giants, Ward won't start unless Brandon Jacobs gets hurt and will likely fight for playing time with Ahmad Bradshaw."

And he's a better dynasty FF rb then Edge? *lol*

KJ/Graham? 10 spots behind Edge in the staff rankings. You'd really want KJ over Edge for the next 3 years? Really? I doubt KJ even has higher upside. He can't stay healthy, and his team might be drafting a RB to replace him. Yeah lock him into my FF roster. Graham? You have to be careful with those 1/2 year monster performances. Julius Jones? Drew Bennett? Billy Volek? You guys are really certain Graham will be starting in the NFL for the next 3 years? EG turns 28 just after week 17. You really want to lock him up in a dynasty league? Norwood? Chris Johnson? Come on.

It seems people are picking based on a WHOLE lot of wishful thinking. Edge isn't sexy, but if you're talking a RB2/Flex RB for the next 3 years, it's Edge and it's not close. He was the 10th best RB last year. And people want Ahmad Bradshaw starting for them over the next 3 years?

The way people voting, the real question should be "Pick the flier RB on your roster you really want to pan out".

 

[King of the Wolfies]

Reports are that Arizona will draft a RB and they want a RBBC this year. Thus the no love for Edge.

Yeah the Zona brain trust scares me. JJ Arrington 2.0. Edge will be the starter for the next 3 years at least.Doesn't Arizona have the smallest scouting budget in the league? I remember a few years back they didn't hold any interviews and/or didn't do any personal workouts. I'm not sure on that detail, but I remember it was something laughable.

I'm approaching this as if I were drafting a Dynasty team from scratch. Edge has had a great career, and had another good year last year. But this is the point in his career that smart owners SELL for top value, rather than BUY for value.Only about 4 of the TOP 10 picks for RB justify their draft position in a re-draft league in any given year. So I will agree with you that when you get to the 25 - 30 slots, you are drafting on much riskier situations, and hoping that your pick pans out. That said, Bradshaw carries less risk that any rookie - after the TOP THREE - because he has already shown that his skills (which are considerable IMO) have translated to production at the next level but he has the youth of a rookie with his whole career ahead of him. Admittedly he is not in the best situation, but at this point I'm picking talent over situation. As has already been pointed out, even Edge will likely see a RBBC situation this year. Edge has had a great career, but I would not select him in the top 30 for the same reason I would not have valued Shaun Alexander very highly LAST year. His best years are behind him. Even if your dynasty window is only 3 years of production (and Edge is a good argument for a more long-term window), there is - IMO, at this point -a better chance that Bradshaw will outperform Edge over the next 3 years.

No kidding, it's a dynasty poll.Smart owners? Then why does the FBG staff rank Edge RB15? So the staff are dumb, okay lets continue.Redraft? This is dynasty. Stay focused. Bradshaw less risk? He isn't even a lock to be the BACKUP. *lol* Talent? Bradshaw has more talent then a HOF RB. Okay okay. Likely RBBC? Based on what? I guess you would know RBBC, Bradshaw is on the wrong end of one. Bradshaw has no chance to outperform Edge in the next 3 years. Edge is in a decent situation, big contract, and still performing well. He was a top 10 RB last year, and I see upside in the Zona offense w/ more of a power running game being installed. Ward is likely to be re-signed, then Bradshaw is back to fighting for playing time with him. Jacobs is the STARTER. That's not even up for debate. He's also the GL RB. So I'd love to know how a 3rd string (maybe RBBC for 2nd string) RB out performs a starting RB who is still putting out 1,000 yard seasons. Zona has a lot of holes in the defense, a work in progress OL, they aren't drafting a RB in the 1st round. RB was not their problem last year.So uh no, Bradshaw is laughable ahead of Edge. Like I said, people are voting for "flier RB I want to pan out because he's on my squad". Edge is still a decent RB2 and VERY good RB3. Bradshaw isn't even a bye week starter, let alone fantasy starter. Sure if Ward and Jacobs both get hurt, Bradshaw will have a shot. How will he handle 100, 200, 300 carries?

Ward is not even on the roster. It's not a matter of IF Jacobs get hurt, it's WHEN. That's when Bradshaw who's 22 years old will show he is capable of being a featured back in the league.

I already addressed this."The Newark Star-Ledger reports that the agent for RB Derrick Ward has met with the Giants, and the two sides are trying to connect on a three- or four-year deal. If he stays with the Giants, Ward won't start unless Brandon Jacobs gets hurt and will likely fight for playing time with Ahmad Bradshaw."So you're assuming Ward isn't resigned, the Giants don't bring anyone else in, Jacobs gets hurt, then AB is RB25. Does Venus have to hit the lunar apex also?Do AB owners need to be virgos? Lets flesh out all the things that need to happen for AB to be a top 25 RB.
