Dynasty rookie #1 (1 Viewer)

[Multiple Scores]

If you owned the #1 rookie pick in a Dynasty (NON-PPR) draft who would you take?

I can turn this poll into a series if there's enough interest and always feel free to ask for new additions to the poll choices

Great idea. I think we should definitely do this same thing again on 4/27.I took Crabtree. To me he is the most sure thing available.

I have the 1.01 in one of my non-PPR leagues. I would love to take a RB there, but this group of backs is so putrid that I might just take Crabtree.

 

[NorrisB]

This is such a weak draft at the top its hard to get excited about any of these guys.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Wells for me.

 

[loose circuits]

At this point without knowing who's blocking for them or throwing them the rock, I'll take Wells, but if I had this pick I could take any of my top 4 depending on situation.

 

[broncofan13000]

would take wells in a non-ppr

 

[ratbast]

I took Wells based on TD potential.

 

[Dave Larkin]

You know, I might actually just give Moreno the edge over Crabtree there. It's a tough one though, since we don't yet know who these guys will be playing for.

Have people been that spoiled these past few years that if there isn't a clear #1 favorite, or 4-5 NFL first round quality RBs, that the entire RB draft class is now considered rotten? This class isn't that bad.

Sure, there are question marks around several of the guys this year, but every prospect has a list of question marks around them. Heck, even Peterson did.

Wells has a rare combination of speed, size, and burst not seen many times before and Moreno has elite instincts and vision. I think they both make for very good FF prospects.

 

[doubletrouble]

agree w/ above, you have solid rbs not one stud of the group...

So do i. Both guys would have been in the top 5 of last year's "elite" RB class.

I have no doubt that 2-3 of the backs from this year's group will be successful when it's all said and done, but there isn't a bankable "can't-miss" player like Peterson or even Lynch. The two guys who probably have the best chance of being first round picks, Moreno and Wells, have lots of question marks. It just isn't a very top-heavy group. I think the talent this year is at WR. There are at least five guys there who look worthy of first round picks.

Thing is, Lynch was not a bankable can't miss and many people were questioning Peterson's toughness saying he won't last 16 games or have a long career. Similar to Wells except with Wells, I agree with the concern. Still, took Wells 1.01. Probably will in PPR too but Moreno will probably get move receptions (offenses being equal)

I disagree on Lynch. It was pretty obvious that he was going to be a solid mid level starter. In some respects, Wells is a poor man's Peterson and Moreno is a poor man's Lynch.

I'm not saying those guys can't be successful, but I won't be targeting either in my drafts.

I disagree with your disagreeing, Lynch had many question marks and was not that highly thought of, I'd venture to say in the mainstream media (ESPN, NFLN) that Chris Wells is higher rated, when Lynch came out there was so much talk about him being from Cal it was to the point of annoying.

There may have been people who had doubts about Lynch, but I wasn't one of them. I think most people who watch Pac-10 football felt he was a pretty impressive overall prospect. Stud? No, but definitely NFL starter material. There weren't any real holes in his game aside from a lack of elite speed and burst (he was good in those categories, just not quite elite). Wells has more of a boom-or-bust component. I doubt he'll be picked as high as Lynch was and I'm not as high on him. I think he has a chance to produce out of the gate and possibly even win RoY, but he's not a guy I want on my FF team whereas I would've felt very comfortable investing an early pick in Lynch.

I'm gonna let this poll run until at least Monday night, it's pretty close and the work crowd is large.

I went with Knowshon, given the boom or bust potential of Wells. I'm not as concerned about the downside of injury with Wells as others are. He has proven he will play injured and full-time training and trainers will help with the little things. I just think Knowshon will get more overall opportunities to produce yards and score. I can't take Crabtree as the #1 in a non-PPR. If this were PPR I might just take him #1.

What about 0.5 PPR for WR and TE only?

 

[two_dollars]

I'd take Wells.

Good measurables.... Good BMI.... Good pedigree.... when he ran the sub 4.5 40yd dash his RB "number" went up too!

I'd have thought the experts here would label him a can't miss since they don't go by opinion, only stats.

A couple hours left, courtesy bump.

 

[Duckboy]

I went with Moreno, as he seems the "safest" option of the 3 (with Wells and Crabtree). It's close enough between the 3 though that I would wait to see where they land before making a final choice.

 

[ninerfanatic492000]

taking out PPR I'd definitely go with Beanie
