Nope, didn't say he was Welker. 75% of Welker...ya, maybe. They did play 3 full seasons together.....Was Gronk not on the Patriots? Injuries are part of the game, and also part of projecting to the future. To not account for them or a player that is constantly getting injured is ignoring risk involved in drafting that player. We can just agree to disagree on that. Im not invested in either player nor do I intend to be.Well they didn't play 3 full seasons together, only 1.3 years, and in 2011 Welker had 122 reception and Gronk had 90.
You think Gronk "should" be back and lead the team in targets and also think Amedola should be healthy? When was the last time both those guys played 16 games? Seems to me you are putting a lot of eggs in the Gronk basket.
Im not an Edelman guy, gronk at the right price....I just feel your argument is a bit off/lacks factual support.
And you're also assuming he's Wes Welker or he can produce those #'s year in , year out...he's not Welker. They may look similar but Welker is probably the best slot man in the history of football. Edelman had an absurd 151 targets last year, mostly due to lack of any other weapons, Brady just force-fed him the ball. And in addition to all those other guys, Vereen was out for 1/2 the year to boot, so u now have (at the moment): Gronk/Amendola/Lafell/Dobson and Vereen. Frankly, 80 rec's might be Edelman's absolute ceiling this yr....I cant just assume guys will get hurt again..
I just assumed I was giving the public perception here. He caught 105 balls last year and now has a 6th/7th rd ADP?? The regression factor is pretty much built into his price tag. I'm not really going against the grain here..
And I think that's fair value for him which is around WR3 territory..

Josh Gordon is going in round 9-10 currently?

Another WR heavy team from pick 10, I think that might be the way to go from the back end..but what do I know.
QB- Foles, Rivers, Manziel
RB- R. Jennings, T. Richardson, L. Miller, D. Freeman, J Stewart, L. Murray, Blue
WR- Dez, AJ Green, K. Allen, D Jax, J. Hunter
TE- L. Green, J. Cook, G. Graham
Patriots
Prater
RBs are a definite concern but I do love Jennings to catch a ton of balls in the giants new dink and dunk.
Should be able to get top 5 production from my
QBs if I succeed in playing matchups, unless Foles is superman again then I'll have no worries
WRs are obviously the strong point here
TEs are a concern but there's some potential there
Thoughts anyone?

Man that's early to take a guy with a 75% chance to catch 0 balls. I was thinking more like a round 15+ is what I value him at.
I agree that WR's should be a priority at the back of these drafts.mp1477 said:
You've got 2 solid WR1 starters,good depth,DJax and Allen will be flex plays a lot for you.
I'm not sold on Foles this year going as high as he is but Rivers gives you a nice fall back at that position.
Given you went WR heavy early your RB's are pretty good. Jennings wil put up nice pts rushing and receiving and I think Miller may be your #2 RB before seasons end.
TE's are a question,I think Gates is still the man in SD and Graham may struggle in Houston's offense this year. Cook may be your best option,but if you can pick the right TE MOST weeks you'll be o.k.
Overall I like your team,in this format,without major injuries I think you're a playoff team.

It wasn't my pick and I would agree it's early. But at that point, Gordon would be your first or second bench player after all starters (minus K and D) were already picked. If you look at who else typically goes in the 9th round and IF Gordon somehow plays some games, then it could be a great pick especially for the playoff run. But I personally think there is a 99% chance he gets suspended for the entire season.Patrick the Pirate said:
Here was the order of round 9 picks in that draft:
9.1 Gordon (his WR4; WR40 overall)
9.2 Ridley
9.3 K. Benjamin
9.4 C.Shorts
9.5 Amendola
9.6 B.Pierce
9.7 Foles
9.8 Gates
9.9 Sea D
9.10 M.Evans
9.11 Cutler
9.12 R.Randle
This draft was mostly FFPC veterans with more than a few names that I recognized, including at least a couple Pros. vs Joes owners. Very tough draft.

Yes agree that WR/WR from #10 is the best way to start if one of the top 6 WR drops to 2.4. You won the lotto with Dez/AJ to start in this format. I am guessing very few drafts had either drop to 2.4. I also went Dez at #10 (AJ went #9) and none of the other top 6 WR made it back. The rest of your team looks great, except for RB. But everyone is going to have at least one weak spot coming out of these drafts unless you get lucky.mp1477 said:

Then you still have the DUI hanging out there too.. By the time that he would come back your season would be over.... If you make the playoffs then sure he might be a good add for a couple games but it will hard to hold on to a guy all year on your bench for a couple games at best..mp1477 said:

Coots, nothing really too exciting if I'm honest here. After those top 3 backs, it falls off the proverbial cliff. The WR core is filled with potential for sure, but Floyd as your #1 is pretty weak. (And I love Floyd btw). Was this draft before/after Hunters game on Friday?curious to see how far his value has spiked now. Where did u get him? QBs are fine and I like your TE's. I'm high on all 3 this yr. overall it's 'ok'. Probably will need those young WR's to break out and top rb's stay healthy for this squad to contend. Stating the obvious there I know.

I don't know the more I look at it the better it gets Gildz... Those top 3 backs are lights out.. The receivers are really good, I think Colston is the biggest steal in these drafts.... And then have Hunter and Wheaton who could both be very good themselves this year... Add in a really good trio of TE's and I should never have to worry about having two flex positions, that is very important and still have star power.. I think the team definitely makes the playoffs and then we shall see from there...
Yeah Hunter has definitely moved up on everyones radar, too bad I was getting him really cheap...
The teams we were debating earlier this thread I had him on and you wouldn't give him any credit!!!!!!
I think your team is solid all around. No glaring weaknesses. Your WR core has tremendous potential, but the RB's are either boom or bust.
It's scary to have to put your faith in Romo and Locker...Your RB's are outstanding. I think Ellington will have a big year. TE's have a lot of potential, but you know what they say about potential.
I don't see that with the TEs... I have Reed as the number 5 ranked TE this year... With saying that I obviously think that position is great....

How did you get AP and Ball, that's crazy.
Hmmm I really like this one Paul.. Might be your best yet.... Those Receivers are scary deep....
Patterson/crab at the 4/5 elbow? Impressive. BIGTIME squad right here.

yeah, this was from the 3-hole. Floyd is a guy I'm high on but hadn't landed on a team yet, so I took him in the 3rd here (admittedly early). was sitting on either Patterson/Harvin at the 4-5 turn. took Patterson in the 4th, gambled that Harvin would make it back (he didn't), so I went Crabtree. I decided to punt my RB3 spot and go for the extra receiver depth. and then I got RGIII really late and his upside fit with this team I think.
My 4th and final squad, really pleased with this one. From the 6 hole:
QB: Wilson (12), Rivers (13)
RB: Ball (2), Gerhart (5), Miller (7), Andre Will (10), White (14), Grimes (16)
WR: Calvin (1), Patterson (4), Decker (8), Hunter (9), Marv Jones (17), John Brown (18)
TE: Cameron (3), Ertz (6), Clay (11), Amaro (20)
K: Dawson (19)
Def: Car (15)
I had Foles, Kapernick, Romo, Newton, Wilson staring at me at pick 11. There were only a couple teams after my pick that needed a QB and I could not believe Clay was still sitting there. I gambled and took him, luckily Wilson was the last of the QB's that I was comfortable with as my starter and think it worked out well. Really think I got a ton of value all over this draft...Would love to hear some thoughts..thx!

Tonight from the 11 hole:
Stafford(8)
Lacy(1)/Stacy(3)/Rice(5)/Michael(11)/Starks(14)/Hillman(16)/Polk(18)
Julio(2)/V-Jax(4)/Crabtree(6)/Jennings(12)/Boykin(13)/Baldwin(15)/Dobson(17)
Clay(7)/Heath Miller(9)/Kelce(10)
Eagles(19)
Bailey(20)
Weird draft, 24 TEs off by 12.9 and Ds and Ks seemed to go relatively early. A LOT of RB/WR value was falling in the later rounds.
Overall thrilled with this squad given the context of the 11th draft spot.

Really about as good as you could have hoped for in the 11 hole. Lacy falling to you in rd 1 is crazy. Crabtree falling to the 6th? Wow. I don't love the TE's but they're definitely a serviceable trio.
Well done overall. Really deep everywhere. If u don't mind see mine right above you..

Not a huge fan of the RB's or the WR's. I think you will end up having maybe 1 RB that is in the top 20 in that group. I think Patterson is a reach in round 4, but then again I think people are reaching for him in round 5 as well.
Wow. I can understand the RB concern, but Calvin/Patterson/Decker/Hunter and you're not a fan? That's wild stuff right there.Not a huge fan of the RB's or the WR's.

This team has like 5 flex options/week.
Coots is out there, let me hear your thoughts my man.

I think both Ball and Gerhart will be top 20 easily as years end barring injury.... Don't like the depth behind those two though.. Philbin sucks as a coach and Miller will be hurt because of it, that's why I try to stay away unless I absolutely need a RB...Not a huge fan of the RB's or the WR's.

I think you are spot on with your Patterson observations.... Really don't like the depth there either, you better hope Hunter has a monster year...
I really think you might struggle once injuries and byes come into play...
Good Luck
I would grade this a C.....
Wow again, no mention of the TE's? I have Ertz/Clay just sitting there?

Really stunned to hear its a thin team, I think its my deepest by far ha.
I'll have a choice of Miller/Decker/Hunter/Clay as a 2nd flex, every week.

You're crazy lol.....no offense 
BTW, I just cant assume my guys are going to get hurt can I? You can say/predict that about any player in the NFL.

I don't see it on a week to week basis.. Everyone you just mentioned is hit or miss, they will all be extremely inconsistent this year.. Not to mention that Patterson is going to be as well..

You drafted a perfect Draft Masters Team IMO, this isn't a team that I would like to have in a FBG draft... Your weekly decisions are going to be brutal and I believe they will cost you more than a couple times..
Good Luck though man..
Well I would think my flex's are Decker/Ertz on a weekly basis. Are they hit or miss guys? I don't see that but ok. Decker will lead the team in targets...with ease, and everything u read/hear about Ertz, he's going to be a big part of this offense.
I'm reserving judgment on Hunter, I still have a hard time thinking he can be anything 'special' with Locker at the helm. And he's still 3rd on the depth chart at the moment, although I see that changing sooner then later.
Patterson is definitely a wildcard but again, there's going to be what ~ 7k teams in this thing? You need to gamble on some players to be a special team down the road...

Considering the OVERALL construction of the team [as a whole] do you see any weaknesses on the team?
Thanks again,

Yes I see both as hit and miss guys.... In fact Decker will be unplayable in at least 4 weeks this season IMO..... He will not be a great option I don't believe this year, own him one time is all... Maybe I am wrong but bad QB play along with no one on the other side will lead to a TON of double teams.. Then when he plays Revis are you going to start him?????
If Celek didn't also look good with only working with the ones in preseason my take on Ertz would be much different.. Until Celek is out of the picture he will be hit or miss I think...
Just my opinion is all, if we all had the same this would be a boring game we play... Once the season plays out we will know more..
Very solid team with excellent depth... You should make the playoffs for sure.....
Well if he sees Revis for a 2nd time on my team, that means I'm in the Champ rds, so ill take that. But of course I'd sit him vs Revis, and that's why I like having some options. Lets also be real, Revis is the only legitimate 'shutdown' corner in the game. Hayden a close 2nd, they also don't play Clev.
I'm pretty high on Decker, for where he's getting drafted at least.
And we'll see on Ertz. I think he has double-digit TD potential this yr. The rec/yds will tell his story...

Do you think I could win my league and perhaps get into the Playoff Round (winner's bracket) in weeks 14-16? I"m hoping so as [in looking back in the draft hindsight] I reallt don't sense I could have gotten any better players at their respective spots.
The only thing I could have seen is instead of Morris, Floyd and Edelman, I could have had Harvin, Joique Bell and Sproles. But instead of having more WR depth, I would have had more RB depth. Seems to be a coin flip....and hard to judge. Morris is the full time back and Bell & Sproles are in a RBBC.At a glance you can argue Edelman and Harvin are even....so now its down to Bell and Sproles vs. Morris and Floyd.
Thoughts?

I think there is a lot of upside on this squad. Wilson, Decker, and Clay seem to be great values. Gerhart in the 5th is pretty good value as well. A little early for my tastes on Patterson, Ertz, and maybe Cameron, but could easily see scenarios where they return much better value than their draft spots.
If Ball/Gerhart stay healthy, could see this team making league playoffs and have the potential to make noise in the overall playoffs.
Who could predict whether you win your league or make the champ rds on Aug 18th lol. Your team could be 6th in scoring and be the 1 seed or 3rd in scoring and not make the playoffs even. My best team last year of the 3 I entered didn't make the playoffs and I won my league with probably the weakest of the 3. On paper, u have a very solid team. Granted I don't like your TE's , at all but nonetheless, you 'should' be competitive....The rest is up to lady luck.

WR/TE is weak. You are banking on Vereen to make your RBs strong....I wouldn't bank on a Patriot RB. I also think you are going to find Cutler a PITA to predict and Kaep just isn't a good QB. I kinda feel like San Fran is going to struggle to start the season.
