FBG 2013 "How did I do" Thread (3 Viewers)

[ffrookie]

Did the late night draft tonight out of the 3 hole.

QB: Luck, Big Ben

RB: Charles, SJax, Lacy, Helu, Bryce Brown, Knile Davis

WR: Colston, Steve Smith, Gordon, Vincent Brown, Wheaton, Marlon Brown

TE: Witten, Fleener, Dickson, Kelce

K: Bullock

D: Zona

Overall like my team so long as Gordon and Vincent Brown are strong performers. I really like my collection of QBs, RBs and TEs.

1 Hole

QB-Stafford, Eli, Flacco

RB-ADP, Sproles, Ingram, Helu, C.Michael

WR-B.Marshall, J.Nelson, J.Gordon, G.Tate, C.Patterson, S.Moss

TE-V.Davis, C.Fleener

PK-M.Bryant

Def/ST-Denver/Miami

I wanted another RB on the turn but I took the WR bait, that did allow me to get a TE a bit earlier than I thought I would. Nothing at RB after round 3 for me that was interesting until about round 11.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, I like the draft especially once Gordon is back in week 3. I don't know if I would have gone with a 3rd QB but its little harm late in the draft. Youll have a solid lineup once week 3 hits and if Morris or Lynch are hurt and Helu and Michael start your team is very dangerous.

Stafford 11th, Eli 15th, Flacco 19th, seemed like a good deal after waiting awhile.

And one more from the 3 hole

QB: Newton (7) Tannehill (19)

RB: Charles (1) Wilson (2) Lacy (4) Michael (12) K. Davis (14) K. Hunter (15)

WR: Nelson (5) Gordon (8) Mi. Floyd (9) Blackmon (10) Rice (11) Hopkins (13) Andre Roberts(16) Wheaton (17)

TE: Gronkowski (3) Cook (6)

K: Janikowski (20)

DEF: Bengals (18)

QB: Newton

RB1 J.Charles

RB2 D.Wilson

WR1 J.Nelson

WR2 Mi Floyd

TE Gronk

Flex 1 Lacy

Flex 2 Cook/Rice?

WR2 and RB2 could be trouble early on for you. This could go several ways, lot of talent, lot of risk. But it is for $250,000 so one might want to take a risk.

i can see wr 2 being a problem but why would you think rb2 would be a problem. Wilson will be above avg 2 and he has lacy.

Excellent point, it was late last night when I was rummaging thru here, RB2 should be fine except we really haven't seen Wilson or Lacy actually produce yet in the NFL. Lacy is a rookie, I do like him, Wilson has to go out and prove it but he had every opp last season and blew it. He's fine at RB2 right now, team will get a lot better when Gordon comes back week 3, then further after Blackmon gets back.

Definitely a risk being so thin early, if I knew I was getting Gordon/Blackmon in the 8th and 10th probably wouldn't have taken Gronk in the 3rd. IF, and big if there, I can make it to the championship round - I really like this roster construction.

Stating the obvious, but you have 0 RB depth. And, you must know something about Julius Thomas. I have him as well, but I'm not confident in him being my only TE (Z. Miller doesn't count ).

Other than that you are strong, but then again, why wouldn't you be.

Yea, definitely know the RB depth is not there...I went with the 3 best handcuffs I could get figuring that at least one of the starters in front of them would/could go down anytime....Hoping McFadden goes down because Marcel Reece is a PPR machine...

TE I am definitely hurting...not much I can do there but play the one with the better matchup and keep a sharp eye on the waiver wire...

Thanks Jabarony

Both of these teams are not the traditional lineups...The 1st one is TE deep, but it cost you in RB depth..If you can get to the $$ round, you can make some noise with your TE's. The 2nd team has a better shot, in my opinion. If your RB's come around, you can make some serious noise.

I like it. Only potential weakness is at WR2/3 but that is often the easiest to cover up via the WW and likely some of these guys will emerge.

Right on. Neither of these drafts went according to plan for me, it seemed like the last RB in a given tier went right before I picked multiple times.

In the 1st one, I think I did OK but nothing great given I had the 1 spot. If I could go back and swap Gronk/Witten for MJD, I would like it a lot better.

I actually like the 2nd one, given where I was drafting from. I could have taken more RBs early, but I feel when you have the 12 this year, you are already significantly behind teams drafting 1-10 so might as well mix it up and hope you hit on a RB or 2.

 

[Caesar]

From the 4 spot. I feel like I killed it (in the good way)

QB Matt Ryan, Alex Smith

RB Trent Richardson, David Wilson, Lamar Miller, BJGE, Lance Dunbar, Fred Jackson

WR Andre Johnson, Jordy Nelson, Miles Austin, Cecil Shorts, Malcolm Floyd, Stephen Hill

TE Martellus Bennett, Delanie Walker, Tyler Eiffert, David Ausberry

PK Matt Prater

TD Seahawks

TE is the only obvious weakness that I see, and the more I look at it, the more I like it. I need one of the guys at TE to step up, and I feel like I drafted all guys with upside.

Thoughts?

 

[Peeps Inc.]

from the 12 spot

Newton(6) Flacco

Forte(1)Morris(2), Helu, Michael Bush, Stephan Taylor, Dunbar

Cruz(3)Amendola(4) Hilton(5) Blackmon, Vincent Brown, Kendall Wright, Sanu

Jared Cook(7)Jordan Cameron(8)

Houston

Walsh, Seabass

i dunno i think it's pretty solid, not a lot of rb depth but i do have both cuffs, and if cook or cameron don't work out hopefully Blackmon or Brown do at least they have upside. this team is chalk full of upside.

 

[benbadman]

Friday 8/30 draft, from the 3 hole

QB - Newton, Schaub

RB - Martin, Morris, MJD, Woodhead, Pead, Polk, Blount

WR - Colston, Garcon, Jennings, E Sanders, S Rice, D Moore

TE - Rudolph, Dwayne Allen

K - Tucker

Def - Bengals, Titans

pick by pick commentary

1.03 - Doug Martin (went w/ him over Charles... #2 took Calvin)

2.10 - Alfred Morris falls in round 2 with David Wilson and Brandon Marshall going earlier in the round (B Marsh should go mid-rd2 but in some drafts he is falling)

3.03 - MJD - took him over Sproles, for bellcow upside, also was considering Andre Johnson..but knowing who is available at 4/5, waited at WR

4.10 - Colston - serviceable low end WR1

5.03 - Garcon - WR2 with upside. not too worried about having both Morris and Garcon, just taking BPA

6.10 - Cam Newton - i really want to be the wait at QB guy, but i have a hard time passing on Newton (QB3 in Draft Dominator) at the end of round 6. Hard to take Cecil Shorts or Miles Austin or Mark Ingram over Newton. But the guys who DID wait at QB, got great value in round 9, as RG3, STafford and Russell Wilson all went in round 9 as QB1s for people. After I took Newton, Brady & Ryan both went, so it started a mini QB run among my peers at the turn, which helped me take...

7.03 - Kyle Rudolph - wanted to grab a high upside flex here, but 1.5TE-PPR warrants taking the last top10 TE on the board here.

8.10 - Danny Woodhead - PPR flex, highest RB left on the board at the time. Next in the DD at RB, were Pierre Thomas, Leveon Bell and Jacquizz.. so had to take Woodhead, although I could have grabbed a backup TE like Myers or Gates here too

9.03 - Greg Jennings - his stock has fallen, I took him in rd7 a few weeks ago in FPC, solid WR3/flex

10.10 - Emmanuel Sanders - just grabbing more guys at WR, although now 3 of my 4 WR all have week5 byes (Garcon, Jennings, Sanders)

11.03 - Dwayne Allen - TE2 was drying up

[SIZE=10.5pt]12.10 Sidney Rice – happy to have him as a WR5. He falls as people take Stepfan Taylor and Roy Helu in round 12 and some defenses, backup QBs and RB4/5s go[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]13.03 – Denarius Moore – this guy’s stock has really fallen. Who knows when I can plug him in, but he’s a warm body at WR, finished top40 last two years[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]14.10- Isaiah Pead RB – just taking a shot on some RBs at this point for depth[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]15.03 – Matt Schaub – Dalton actually went at 14.09, as only 2 QBs drafted in rounds 10-14, backup QBs went late, even Rivers & Cutler were there in round 20[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]16.10 – LeGarette Blount RB – another lottery ticket RB[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]17.03 – Bengals defense – was about the 10th team to take a defense[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]18.10 – Justin Tucker K – about 9 kickers went in rounds 17/18[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]19.03 – Chris Polk RB Philly[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]20.10 – Titans defense – they play some bad offenses when the Bengals play good teams[/SIZE]

like the RB & WR options... did Lamar Miller fall to round4 or Andre Johnson? Good job drafting

 

[SmoovJC]

Had the 1st pick which I wasn't too excited about.

QB – Kaepernick (8), EJ Manuel (15)

RB – AP (1), David Wilson (2), Lamar Miller (3), Daryl Richardson (5), Jordan Todman (19)

WR – Desean Jackson (6), TY Hilton (7), Kenny Britt (9), Rueben Randle (10), Quinton Patton (14), Marlon Brown (16), Donnie Avery (20)

TE – Finley (4), Gresham (11), Julius Thomas (13), Luke Wilson (17)

Defense – Seahawks (12)

K – Phil Dawson (18)

Looking back at it, I think I should have passed on Lamar Miller and got a WR, Andre Johnson, Cobb, Roddy White were still there.

Flame away

As I don't much like the receivers, I agree that you probably should have gone with plan b; but, as a guy drafting at the #1 slot on Friday, I gotta say I'm pretty excited at the prospect of Wilson falling that far. I can see why you did it. The format really leans on that TE pretty heavily and Finley could potentially lead the pack. If you don't mind my asking, where did Sproles go off the board?

QB: Andrew Luck (7), Ben Roethlisberger (15)

TE: Rob Gronkowski (3), Dwayne Allen (11), Jermaine Gresham (14)
PK: Alex Henery (19)
TD: Arizona Cardinals (16)

My team is all gonna come down to how Gronk does. If he comes back week 2 or 3 and dominates then I think my team will be fine, if he doesnt the season will be a bust.

I had planned on going in rb-rb-rb. wasnt expecting julio and wasnt sure about gronk being there in round 3

in round 3 i thought about sproles but decided that Gronk could be that game changer.

I like Garcon as my wr 2 in round 4 think he can be special if healthy.

I had to grab Bernard in 5. its only a matter of time before he takes over for bge and the offense should be explosive.

in round 6 I wanted to take another rb but d-rich, d-will all were gone, so I took the potential in Austin he should catch a lot of balls, and if he returns kicks maybe he takes one or 2 to the house which would help.

round 7. i think luck is in for a big year.

round 8. early for bernard pierce but needed a 3rd rb at this point.

round 9 boom or bust with britt

round 10 ballard could be a solid flex if bradshaw is hurt

round 11 allen think he could also be a good flex even when gronk is back.

Overall I'd give myself a C+ish for this draft If guys stay healthy could rocket up to an A could arguable have the best rb, wr, and 2nd te, with a top 5 qb. But if guys get hurt, depth needs to come in, then probably a D.

YIKES.

I went 2nd the other night and went RB,RB,RB (Martin, SJax, Sproles). You were lucky to get Gio in the 5th. He's been going much higher than that and at least gives you some hope with your overall RB crew. I'm not sure who your two flexes will be, and that's with Gronk playing. That's the problem with taking him - he might be a game changer, but certainly causes you weaknesses elsewhere. From my #2 slot I was able to get Olsen in the 7th. Considering Gronk may miss at least a few games, he could end the year with total points equal to Olsen. In most leagues I don't mind picking up injured or suspended players but this one is unique in only having an 11 week regular season. You may be drafting for the big $, but you've got to get into contention for it first.

round 7. i think luck is in for a big year.

round 8. early for bernard pierce but needed a 3rd rb at this point.

round 9 boom or bust with britt

round 10 ballard could be a solid flex if bradshaw is hurt

round 11 allen think he could also be a good flex even when gronk is back.

Overall I'd give myself a C+ish for this draft If guys stay healthy could rocket up to an A could arguable have the best rb, wr, and 2nd te, with a top 5 qb. But if guys get hurt, depth needs to come in, then probably a D.

YIKES.

I went 2nd the other night and went RB,RB,RB (Martin, SJax, Sproles). You were lucky to get Gio in the 5th. He's been going much higher than that and at least gives you some hope with your overall RB crew. I'm not sure who your two flexes will be, and that's with Gronk playing. That's the problem with taking him - he might be a game changer, but certainly causes you weaknesses elsewhere. From my #2 slot I was able to get Olsen in the 7th. Considering Gronk may miss at least a few games, he could end the year with total points equal to Olsen. In most leagues I don't mind picking up injured or suspended players but this one is unique in only having an 11 week regular season. You may be drafting for the big $, but you've got to get into contention for it first.

very true.. its a very boom or bust team. lots of potential but could be a loud dud also.

s jack, wilson, forte, mjd pretty much a majority of the backs that I liked at the 2/3 were all gone by the time it was my turn which made julio fall to me. and before i picked in the 4th, lacy, miller, vereen, d-rich and d-will were all taken if I remember correctly. large rb runs.

I think Allen has potential to be a weekly flex to go along with britt or austin. even pierce possibly. I think he is gonna have a lot more touches this year, ala his december last year but will have to see.

dont love the team, dont hate it, have to work the wire and see how it goes.

Stating the obvious... RB is rough after top 2 (maybe top 1 if Miller doesn't pan out). Pretty amazing everywhere else.

How late did you get Luck?

I think you need three good RBs to be competitive. I like the concept of getting the handcuffs of the other guys - like you did with Bell and Rodgers - but because of your weakness there you need an injury to S Jax or Bush to get you your 3rd RB.

 

[Caesar]

From the 4 spot. I feel like I killed it (in the good way)

QB Matt Ryan, Alex Smith

RB Trent Richardson, David Wilson, Lamar Miller, BJGE, Lance Dunbar, Fred Jackson

WR Andre Johnson, Jordy Nelson, Miles Austin, Cecil Shorts, Malcolm Floyd, Stephen Hill

TE Martellus Bennett, Delanie Walker, Tyler Eiffert, David Ausberry

PK Matt Prater

TD Seahawks

TE is the only obvious weakness that I see, and the more I look at it, the more I like it. I need one of the guys at TE to step up, and I feel like I drafted all guys with upside.

Thoughts?

like the RB & WR options... did Lamar Miller fall to round4 or Andre Johnson? Good job drafting

I took Andre in the third. He was the best WR available in my mind, and Lamar fell to the 4th. I have been cooling off on Miller lately, but 4th seemed like a good place to take him. I also loved getting the law firm in the 8th and Ryan in the 9th. Thought I got good value all over the place, but my TEs did suffer.

 

[cdubz]

Last FPC draft for me and this one might be my favorite, at least given draft slot. I particularly like the depth I was able to get rounds 10-18; seemed like there was value at multiple positions through most of the 2nd half of the draft.

From the 10 hole

QB: Wilson (9) Freeman (18)

RB: Foster (1) McFadden (3) Lacy (4) Michael (12) Moreno (14) Pead (15) R. Jennings (17)

got luck in the seventh.I find myself always lacking rb depth due to the talent of the wrs in the third thru sixth rounds.Can never force myself to take the laundry list of pedestrian rbs that are located in those rounds over wrs to start in my flex spots..also vernon davis fell into the sixth round for me which i was very suprised with

Looks pretty solid. You got Gronk in the 3rd? Just curious, you remember where your arch-nemesis went on the first turn (2.12, 3.1)?

I went Gronk in the 2nd, actually. Would have gone David Wilson, or stud WR. if not, was willing to wait on 2nd RB till after the turn. Took Gronk, he went MJD and Andre Johnson, and I took Murray.

I was definitely willing to risk a bit, if Gronk is back and good, I am fine with passing on MJD for him.

i dunno i think it's pretty solid, not a lot of rb depth but i do have both cuffs, and if cook or cameron don't work out hopefully Blackmon or Brown do at least they have upside. this team is chalk full of upside.

I'd LOVE to see this draftboard, HOW the F*** did Cook go in 7th and Cameron in 8th????

i was pretty surprised they were both there on the 7 and 8 turn, the only other options were stevie j and miles austin. and im pretty sure those dudes are incapable of winning you 250k so i went with the boom or bust of both cook and cameron. gotta shoot for the stars out there.

Did 2 drafts.

Last Sunday Cook went in 6th. 2 weeks ago he went round 5 (team was named Rams1 so it might have been a homer pick).

Cameron went 8th round Sunday and 9th 2 weeks ago.

Problem with Gronk is that you are risking a high pick not playing for a couple of weeks which is a huge gamble considering the season is only 11 weeks long. Teams who drafted Gronk that high better hope they don't fall too far behind those first few weeks or they'll have a tough time catching up.

Personally, it was too big a risk to lose a replacement players production for potentially 20-30% of the season.

 

[Da Gildz]

Here are my 2nd and 3rd teams, both taking Graham in the 1st rd so interesting to compare:

Team A - 7 hole:

QB: RG3 (10) , Dalton (15)

RB: Bush (2), D-Rich (5), Mendenhall (7), Tate (9), Dwyer (13 - prior to being cut, sigh), Ryan Will (17), Denard Robinson (20)

WR: Cobb (3), Welker (4) Thompkins (8), Jeffrey (12), Harvin (14), DHB (16)

TE: Graham (1), Cook (6), Fleener (11)

K: Zeurline

D: Gmen

Team B - 9 hole:

QB: Wilson (10), Eli (12)

RB: Sproles (3), Tate (6), Mendenhall (7), Joique Bell (11), Pead (13), Stepfan Taylor (19)

WR: Julio (2), Amendola (4), Gordon (8), Mike Will (9), Andre Roberts (16), Streater (18)

TE: Graham (1), Vernon D (5), Eiftert (14), Fleener (15)

K: Zeurline (20)

D: Broncos (17)

I really like both teams. RB's are weaker for Team B no doubt, but those WR's/TE's in team B more then make up for the lack of rb's. For some reason Team B league was sleeping on TE's bigtime. So i capitalized taking Eifert/Fleener so late. All in all, im pleased. I'm sure that Tate (6) pick stands out to alot of u. But I think Tate will play a larger role this year then most, he should be flex worthy/low end RB2. And IF Foster ever went down, sky is the limit for both squads. At that point, RB's were hoarded like ive never seen before. The best backs available were: Deangelo/Ingram/Leveon Bell. Yuck. The Foster owner was ready to pounce on him. I'd rather gamble on the upside of Tate. Need to get lucky to win this thing.

Would love to hear some feedback, thx!

I thought taking Gronk in the 2nd was too early. And would have gone WIlson, or Marshall over him. There was a tier that materialized, and when it came to me at the end of the 2nd, there was several guys I thought were all the same, and Gronk, as a potential difference maker.

IMO, You need either Mendenhall to be very productive (unlikely) or Foster to go down to have any shot at contending with those RB's. Same thing was mentioned last year about Tate. He'll produce as a #2 RB/Flex most weeks. Turns out he barely was rosterable most weeks. He might play a larger role the first few weeks while Foster gets his feet under himself but unless Foster gets injured I think you're going to be a little disappointed by Tate's production.

Overall, you have a bunch of guys I was not high on this year so, personally, I don't like the looks of either team.

 

[Da Gildz]

Thanks for the input. I dont agree with needing your RB2 to be that great to contend. Graham and Cook/Vernon will nullify that weakness and probably then some. Ive seen so many shaky TE duo's on these teams, i dont think owners realize the impact of 1.5 PPR to be honest. A guy like Vernon or Cook could equate to a WR2 in this format and maybe even better. They have that upside with this 1.5 scoring. I expect 70+ rec's from both those guys btw. And Graham could be the #1 overall player in this thing, thats not crazy to think really.

Yes, Graham could be the #1 position player, no way he'll be #1 overall given the way QB's score, just like a bunch of other guys.

My view on TE's in general are a lot different then yours. The 1.5 ppr makes the top TE's more valuable but IMO some people really over-value the significance of it after those couple of guys. Personally, I prefer the #2 Wr's (The Colston's, etc.) over the Cook type TE's.
