FanEx Analysis Draft (1 Viewer)

The commissioner has declared that there will be no required FAD activity over the Memorial Day weekend of May 24-25-26. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. The draft clock will be turned off for those days, and he encourages us to relax with family and friends . ~TC & Jerome~

That's a great thing to do TC, but given that the girlfriend is at a girls weekend at the beach, I was hoping to follow this all weekend to my heart's content. Sigh.
 
BTW, we have an opening for the 6.11 and 7.03 (and few other) guest analysis. If interested, please contact me by mail. :gang1: tc@fanexfootball.com

 
Except the clock is off if I read the Commssioner's message correctly.

I just hope that Dodds drafts someone that will show up in December.
 
What I would like to know is did Brett Favre lose an arm in the off season?His receivers are all young and improving.He lost Terry Glenn! Big deal, the improvement in Walker and Ferguson (and Driver, Franks and Green) should make up for it and more.11 QBS are off the board and the great one is still there.He looks like he will be drafted with the likes of Plummer, Collins and Brunell.Fools!!

Exactly.I really like the years when Favre is underestimated... he usually performs very well in those years and you can grab him fairly late. I expect big things from him this year.I'm mystified at the Pennington pick? Wow. I like Pennington too, but not over Bledsoe/Brady/Favre.This draft is showing how really deep the QB position is this year. You've got the top 3 QB's, but after that I think you could win with any of the next 15 or so. Hell, I like Kerry Collins this year and he may not go for another 3 or4 rounds.One thing that has been pointed out, but probably not enough is that most drafts will not follow the same path as this one. Here you don't have to worry about picking starters which devalues QBs. In 'real' leagues where you must run a starting QB out every week, the value of a Garcia, Warner, Favre, Bledsoe etc goes up a lot....

who finished as the QB11 last year in my format, sounds about right to me.

He finished #15 in points per game, and he's at a point in his career where he's less likely to show improvement from year to year than a guy like Pennington, Brady, or Hasselbeck . . .
 
OK, so O'Leary's up with back to back picks. What should he do? I say WR, WR and would go with MeShawn and Troy Brown. Anyone else?

I cetertainly expect WR KJohnson as one player choice .. and TE Franks, too. With a long time between now and his next selection, he will be looking for a steady starter. Franks is that.
 
Any chance we could get the 6th round posted for those of us "firewall challenged" - thx

So where does DD go next? I think O'Leary takes 2 WRs, Cahill should probably get another RB and Holm almost has to take a QB. I can't believe I'm saying this, but if Holm passes on McNair for some reason, I almost think David should take him. Otherwise, is it too early for the 4th TE?

 
So much for O'Leary taking 2 WR's.6.12 Bubba Franks7.01 Tampa Bay DefenseI still think it's way too early to take a Defense.O'Leary doens't pick again for 23 picks. Hines Ward is his only receiver.

 
All I can say is I am smiling big right now. neither of O'Leary's picks were on my draft board. This looks like it will be a great value pick for me.

 
Quoting Maurile from the other thread:

I think defense has the lowest priority here by quite a bit. Pretty much any two random defenses will outscore the Bucs this year, and taking two random defenses at the end of the draft is a lot cheaper than taking the Bucs in the seventh round.

Holy crap, are you kidding? Guy takes an average of 14 hours to pick and get those. Wow, great value there for DD at WR. I wonder who Cahill takes. Should be a RB, but who knows.
 
Wow, McNair. Good pick. Now he really needs to find a good sleeper 3rd RB, but McNair was a great value here. Really might have messed up Holm because McNair had to be a lock for him. Good pick Duane!

 
Yeah, great, great value there in this system. I figure at your next two picks you'll be looking at WR (maybe Keyshawn?) and QB (maybe Collins?).

I was wonderin when MeShawn was gonna go. For my money thats the steal of the draft. Keyshawn Johnson was the number 20 WR in this format last year and he's going here at 29. Whatsmore, this guy had 76 catches last year, but 106 the year before. I gotta believe that Tampa won't be as good as they were last year (Superbowl winners never are) so his upside is much better than guys like Stallworth and Porter that inexplicably went before him if they have to throw the ball more down the field. Sure I hate the guy, but he's a consistant point scorer in this format.Edited for personal clarity. :wall:

Great points. I still think Troy Brown should have gone before him, but Porter, Chambers and Conway? No way. Remember what Gruden did in Oakland. Someone has to be the 100 short catch possession WR in that offense.
 
7.10 Keyshawn Johnson - HickersonInteresting selection here. I thought for sure he'd go QB. As I think there is one QB who stands out among the remaining. Del Pilar Bonini almost has to go with a WR, but you never know.If I was Dodds I'd grab that QB and a WR and would consider Alstott but would probably pass on him. Taking the QB does a couple of things. One, I believe he provides great value and two, hurts the competition weakening the talent left in the QB pool. There are a couple of owners who have not selected a QB at this point. I'm usually not a big advocate of this unless I see a big drop off into the next tier.Welll one to go and Dodds is on the clock.

 
It'll be interesting to see what Dodds does at this next turn. I could easily see him adding 2 QB's to his committee, and cause other owners to scramble for the remaining productive QB's. Regardless, I'd expect at least one QB here.

Which QB(s) would you guys go with here? I'm thinking Collins should be one. Not sure of a second.
 
I think you have to throw Maddox in this tier.......he has 2 good WRs (2.5 if you count Randle El) and the offense is relying less and less on the running game. They seem to be a lot more balanced now......I think Dodds SHOULD strongly consider either:1-QB, QBor2-QB, Alstott (has TJ Duckett been selected?)as far as WR.........the likes of McCardell, Finneran, D.Thompson will be around at his next pick of 10.1

If I were in Dodd's shoes I'd seriously consider going...Kerry Collins & Mike AlstottThis way he locks up the TB running game and has his QB#2 to pair with Brady.

 
Duckett hasn't been selected, and I'll agree, that those 2 routes should be where he's looking. One concern is the KFFL team picking before him here. They won't be taking a RB, and are looking QB-WR, or WR-WR at their picks sandwiching Dodds. I think if they're smart, they go QB first as Dodds shouldn't be looking WR here at all.

Good points. Maybe he goes QB-QB and takes whichever 2 of Collins, Green and Maddox are left if KFFL takes one? I don't like Alstott here, but I don't have any good reasons, just a gut feeling. I guess I'm not sure that you want both Pittman and Alstott in this league.
 
I like QB, QB. It puts some people in a major bind. I might also look to trade down (yet again) to one of those QBless teams (Hickerson in particular) with the threat of taking 2 qbs hanging over him. Then you can still get Duckett or Alstot plus a pick. I would also take a hard look at McMichael or Sharpe. TEs are about to run IMO.

I think at this point you might as well wait on a TE. He's taken a similar strategy with WR's to this point. Rather than take one of the higher valued WR's, take several middle of the pack guys who in this format will produce like a top player at that position. I think he'd be better served to wait a couple rounds and get Crumpler/Fauria or 2 similar guys who fall, rather than spend a pick here where he could put the rest of the league on the defensive...
 
I think the only reason to take a TE at this point is to be able to only take 1 in the entire draft. I think you need to take 3 QBs, 2 Def, 2 K. David already has 4 RB and 3 WR. That leaves 4 spots, 1 of which has to be a TE, and 2 really should be WR. If he takes Sharpe, he could get away without another and could use his final selection on either a RB or WR. It seems like a better option to let the TEs slid and pick 2 up late. (maybe Daniel Graham?)

 
You guys may be right on that. I like Sharpe this season in this format, I think he may be Plummers safety net, but taking him as your only TE is not advised and drafting a second TE later doesnt look as effective as some of the other moves discussed.

 
Agreed that Green has to be considered the #1 QB left on the board. You could go with Collins right after, but I'd put Maddox at QB2--Collins is rock steady, but I think with the weapons he has, Maddox would be the more likely of the two to post a monster game here and there (more important in this league). I'm also looking at the possibility of rolling the dice on Patrick Ramsey here, but it seems a bit early for the guy.I don't agree that Dodds should stay away from a WR here. He's already got 4 RBs, which was his stated goal in the draft. But with no more picks after these until 10.1, Quincy Morgan starts to look pretty tempting if he's still there.If Morgan goes and Dodds isn't a big fan of the others (Hilliard, McCaffrey, McCardell, Chrebet, among others), then I'd go TE before I picked a RB5. I believe the full TE field is there, aside from Shockey, Gonzo, Heap, and Franks.

I agree as well. I would put Brad Johnson next, and then Collins -- even though I think Plummer or Maddox or Stewart or Ramsey could outperform those guys, safety is paramount with no free agent moves allowed, and all those guys are risks, IMO. (Maddox less so.)I think this is the point where you have to wonder, if you pass on QB-QB here, what will your QB3 look like? If you really like Kitna or Brees or somebody like that this year, you can hold off and grab your QB3 later. But there aren't very many QBs left whom I consider to be pretty sure bets.

Agreed. I think one of the whole points of going RB-RB-RB-RB with your first four picks is that you can save a roster spot there by not having to grab extra sleeper RBs late. That doesn't mean I wouldn't grab Alstott if he were still there in a couple rounds, but I don't think he's such a compelling value here that he warrants a change in roster plans (using 5 spots on RB instead of 4).I agree that Quincy Morgan looks tempting at this point. I think whether to draft Morgan here or not depends on whether you like any of the QBs you expect to still be there in the tenth round. If you do, you can take a WR here. If you don't, it's hard not to go QB-QB because there should still be serviceable, Ike Hilliard/Josh Reed/Reggie Wayne-type WRs available much later in the draft.

Trent Green and Quincy Morgan are the two I was alluding to above.

Morgan is up and down, but that's not so much of a problem in this format and I think that's what you want with your 4th or 5th receiver. When he shows up he usually scores.

TC not trying to tell you your biz, but why not take some of those that are doubling up on one pick and transfer one to the picks you need people for?
