FBG Post NFL Draft Mock (1 Viewer)

2.02 Clinton Portis, RB, Washington

I expect Portis to also have a much improved season. Washington's offense can't get any worse, and I prefer Ramsey's play to Brunell's in terms of keeping defenses honest. That offensive line needs to start playing well and the return of Jon Jansen at OT should help immensely. I've got arguably two of the best home run hitters in the league at the 11th and 14th spots and both guys catch a fairly decent amount of balls. I hope I can get these two guys from the 11 spot in every league that I'm in this year.

2.03 - Daunte Culpepper

Really had to do it here. Even without Moss, the offense will be fine, 30- 35 pass td's plus 5-7 rushing td's . Clearly the BPA as this point.

 
WOW.... radball lands McAllister AND Portis form the 11 spot! :eek: I may have to do some trading down in my drafts for this year. :thumbup:

Yep, Deuce & portis are two guys who under performed last year. Both should rebound, I actually like Portis better than Deuce, just cause I HATE Hasliar. He is easily one of the worst coaches in the league. I wonder if mrharrier would rather have portis than Steven Jackson. He has him rather high in his top 75 rankings.

I doubt it. I'm in a Dynasty league with Harrier and he is rather down on Portis and VERY high on Jackson.
 
Radballs did awesome there. Mr Harrier should get knocked for taking Steven Jackson that high

:thumbup: I like this pick better than the #2 for Manning. You get a better RB from this position. That and the fact that Cpep usually outscores Manning anyway. I wouldn't be too concerned about Moss dragging him down much. He'll still be the #1/2 QB most likely.
 
Haven't you ever heard if you got nothin good to say don't say anything at all?

radballs Posted Today, 01:36 PM

I don't like Jamal Lewis at 1.09 because he doesn't catch enough balls.

I love Tiki at 1.10 and was hoping he'd sneak down to me at 1.11, but I can't complain about getting Deuce.

With the 2.04:

Corey Dillon NE RB

His numbers were great last year and in a redrafter league his numbers will be even better this year with a full 16 games!

Thank you for the props, really with Barber who is a ppr monster, and Culpepper, I can just sit back and see who will be there in the third. A true test of the depth at RB#2. (Which I think there is plenty of)

Sorry jg,Just calling it like I see it. Not trying to step on your toes. Jamal can be a monster, and I think he's a good pick in non-ppr leagues where you got him. I just feel that he loses quite a bit compared with some other backs because of his lack of receptions. :2cents:

2.05 I select Randy Moss - WR - Oakland RaidersAnalysis: Now that the top 2 QB's are off the board, I turn my attention the the stud WR that is Randy Moss. Going to Oakland shouldn't hurt his productions any IMO. He's got a nice complement in Porter and Kerry Collins has always thrown a nice deep ball. I'm very happy with my RB1 and WR1 spots so far drafting out of my spot.

 
2.06 Tatum Bell-RB, DenverI see this guy as a poss top 5 if healthy. Mo doesn't worry me in the least as Bell has superior skills and more importantly, speed. Fast cutback RB's do very well in this system and that fits Tatum very well. Combined with Jones, I have 2 possible top 5 RB's and can now focus on other needs.By waiting for my next pick, I was concerned that I would have to rely on a rookie at best or be hopeful of a RBBC situation. I didn't want to risk that.

Yep, no way should Jamal go ahead of Tiki, Deuce etc in a PPR league.
 
To be completely honest I didn't even know what the ppr was at first.I still like Jamal and I'm happy to have him.

 
I like steven Jackson. dont think he gives you the best value at 1.12 2.1 in this draft. Dynasty league he's gold. I think he looses receptions to faulk this year for sure.

 
WOW.... radball lands McAllister AND Portis form the 11 spot! :eek:

Agreed. I'm liking that #10-#11 spot this year based on mocks I've seen so far.Nice start radball.

:shock: :shock: :shock: maybe I'm just a firm believer in trust in the vets but this to me seems high

 
Tatum Bell is a high risk/high reward pick. His value/draft position will be well debated here all year.No one has said anything about Willis at the 5th pick? I know alot of people love him to death. He has talent, but a rookie QB = 9 in the box most of the year.Not saying he is not worthy of 1st round selection, just keeping my guard up on the hype this year.

Agreed, both of these guys are too much risk for me for where they're going.

I was wondering how long I would sneak by with that pick :D Again, like I said before, I think there are several players that make sense anywhere from 1.03 to 2.03

McGahee is the one I :wub:

9 in the box? :loco: Rookie QB or not Evans and Moulds proved they're a pretty lethal combo and I think secondary's will be aware of them.

IMO I think they're a better one/two punch than Moulds and Price were back in 2002.

 
Am I the only one around here who thinks that JP has a very good shot at being an upgrade to Bledsoe. :shrug: Or were these numbers really that impressive:256 comp, 450 atts, 56.9%, 2932 yds, 6.5 avg, 20 tds, 16 ints

long term, probably . This year though, I dont think so, just my 2centsOn a side note let's all try & be around tonite & get some rounds in!

Party poker & mock draft = :nerd:

Bledsoe was slower than slow but he had a hand cannon

I think most of this is going to boil down to the offensive line play of the Bills. At the very least, Losman is much more mobile than Bledsoe so he should take a lot fewer sacks.

I know most people feel this pick is too high. However, I do not think he would be there at 3.7. I'd love to get him in the 3rd but I doubt it'll happen. I have him projected top 5. To me he's a steal in the 2nd round. After all, this is about winning, not being safe.

I don't think McGahee is too high at 5. Ideally you'd prefer 7-8 but unless you're drafting in that slot you won't get him.
 
2.07 Terrel OwensI'm very happy with this pick. I'm not too worried about him holding out or missing any time. With 1 ppr, he will be an absolute beast again this year. Barring injury, you can pencil in at least 14 TDs and 1300 yards.
 
After reading the commentary about Bell/McGahee this brings up an interesting discussion. When to draft your guy. I'll use Bell for example.I have Bell projected as the #5 RB. I know he won't go in the first round but I don't think he gets out of the 2nd either, in leagues that draft RB heavy. So I'm drafting #6 in the second round and must decide to select him there or risk waiting for the 3rd. I do not think he makes it to the 3rd in most leagues. So I decided to take him at 2.6. Most feel this is a reach but if my projections pan out then I have a steal at 2.6. Even if he's top 12 I have not over-reached for him.Thoughts...

I agree, when faced with a situation such as yours and not able to trade down. I always take the guy I WANT. The only exception being I thik there is another guy out there I can pick and later trade for "my guy" + more. I did this same thiing with Portis in my Dynasty league. Took him #2 overall after noone wanted to trade. Reach? Yeah a little I'm sure, but I'm happy and can sleep at night and thats all that really matters to me. :D
 
2.08 Rudi Johnson RB CincyI knew I wanted to start with two RB's and I was down to two choices. I felt they were both close and, unfortunately, neither is a big threat as a receiver. With that, I think Rudi Johnson is in for another big year. I'm not sure if it's because of more RBBC situations or all the rookie RB's saturating the position, but it seems like Rudi is gaining the faith of dynasty owners.

Maybe he wouldn't be there but so what? Seems like you're more into the player than the the value of the position. Sounds like one of those, I HAD TO HAVE him situations.

Thanks, I actually meant to mention the offensive weapons that surround Johnson- Palmer, TJ, C. Johnson, etc

:goodposting: Agreed. First of all, I don't think Bell was a reach there at all where you got him. Second, if you have a guy who is projected to be top 5 and you think his chances of being available at your next pick are very low, you HAVE to take him. It's almost never a reach if a player you want to take at a certain slot will almost certainly not be there with your next pick.

You're right. I had to have the player I thought would be top 5, regardless of his name. When you have a player projected top 5 and you don't think he's going to be available at your next pick you take him. I don't think avoiding him because he was a few picks too early is the smartest move. Why settle for someone I don't think will do as well when I can have him?
