Heading to my live draft in 10 minutes (1 Viewer)

Texasmouth

Footballguy
I am pretty sure I am going to take LJ but Gore sure is intriguing.

LJ seems like Alexander last season......I took Alexander at three last year....ruined my entire year.

 
PPR league so I plan to go RB-WR-WR unless someone falls in my lap. I could go RB-WR-Rb if Benson of Thomas Jones are still on the board.

I am in this local las vegas league with a few newbies in it, anything could happen.

 
In a $$$ league with a few newbies today I drafted #5. I went Gore, SSmith, CJ and then grabbed Portis in the 4th.

In a league with newbies anything can happen.

 
1st 4 rounds go Gore, TO, Gates, McNabb. You'll have a stud at every position. Don't screw up the rest of the draft and you'll be the team to beat.

Id have to say to just minimize the risk, go with the guy least likely to get hurt. Gore has already been hurt and will miss all of the preseason. LJ basically never gets hurt. I wouldnt gamble the 3 of a guy with such a history of injury even though Gore is obviously a great runner of the football. For my money, Id go LJ, but if not Id go with Addai. He'll amass a ton of yards and TDs in that O.....and probably catches as well. Good luck.

 
LJ is the KC offense, if he gets hurt, so be it. But please don't take Gore over LJ due to injury concerns.

I ended up with the most ridiculous team I have ever drafted. Yes, there were actually 12 people in this league.

PPR league at that....

1.3 LJ

2.10 Steve Smith

3.03 Terrell Owens

4.10 Caddilac Williams

5.03 Matt Hasselback

6.10 Deangelo Williams

7.03 Chargers Defense

8.10 Tater Bell (seconds before he was injured)

9.03 Braylon Edwards

10.10 Devery Henderson

11.03 Brandon Marshall

12.10 Matt Schaub

13.03 Leon Washington

14.10 Dwayne Bowe

15.03 Bo Scaife

16.10 Ryan Longwell

Best team I have ever drafted in my opinion.

Code:
No, you cant play in our league.No, this isnt an 8 team league.Only one guy was a newbie and his team was probably top 5. He had #1 pick.

Umm....you must have had some real stinker teams. Your first 3 picks are solid (well everyone's usually are unless you reach).After that...I would feel horrible with Caddy as my #2 RB. And Hasselback is a middle of the road QB...in fact I am in draft right now where he was not drafted to be anybody's starter. And your TE is a sleeper, but you don't draft sleepers as a starter. I dunno, I was expecting more by your "best team ever"

:shrug: Is your league a 16 teamer? :lmao:

What are there like 8 teams in your league or something? Yeah right. Caddy isnt a good option as a second rb? :wall: Hasselback is a "middle of the road" QB? So, aside from the obvious top 5 who is better? :thumbup: Scaife is the starting TE and has been a favorite target of Vince Young all preseason??? 3 Rec 27 yards and 1 TD in the last game. He is only a sleeper if you are a moron. Are these serious comments?

In a PPR league, you gotta grab a 2nd WR in the 3rd. Benson and T.Jones will be available in the 4th...probably still available in the 5th or 6th. In the 3rd you will probably have TJHoush available who will be a Top 5 WR and if he plays a full season last year would've been Top 2. I'd be willing to bet you could get B.Jacobs or A.Peterson in the 4th.That would be a solid 4 starters to build a championship around.

Thanks, I already drafted though, read above.
 
I drafted tonight in a ten-team redraft (easy! I also play in 12-team dynasty!) and had 1.03. I took Gore over LJ. LJ went next. I got Jones-Drew (enh) on the way back and Steve Smith at 3.03. Javon Walker next, followed by Gates in the 5th and eventually Rivers in the 7th as my QB.

:) for when you see that Gore won't be in the top 12 after you said (easy!).
 
I'll post a draft from tonight in my 12 team league. I actually feel pretty dang good about my team... the league is 75% sharks, and three guys who are average at best.

It's a 12 team league and we are switching to a keeper league after this year (only can keep players drafted after rounds 1-3)

This is NOT a rate my team post... just posting for comparison with the OP...

1.7 F Gore

2.6 T Henry

3.7 TJ Housh

4.6 B Jacobs

5.7 L Evans

6.6 J Kitna

7.7 L Betts

8.6 M Turner (keep next year as a 6th rd....!)

9.7 B Berrian

10.6 B Rothlisberger

11.7 I Bruce

12.6 R Grossman (first 2 QBs have the same BYE...)

13.7 A Peterson (CHI)

14.6 J Elam

15.7 Broncos

16.6 Troy Williamson

ETA LJ went 3rd.... Bush went at 5, which pushed Addai and Gore to the guy before me. He had already 'resigned' to the fact he would have Addai, and had built his strategy around having Addai...and so he passed on Gore. Booyah!

Oof. Good luck in the first 8 weeks.

Is this in reference to the 'little week 6 BYE issue' I have?? :) I saw that when I drafted T Henry after already have Gore...but I figured I would accept that week as tough rather than pass on Henry. My first two QBs are on BYE that week two, which is why I grabbed Rex...he is at home against the Vikings that week...which was the best matchup remaining at that point. If you are seeing something else that I am not, I'd appreciate the insight...

No, this was in reference to your weak WRs through the first 8 weeks. I don't see Evans coming on until then and I don't think you have the depth to compensate.

Heh. I meant, "easy," like "easy, please don't jump on me because I play in a ten-team redraft league, I kinda know what I'm doing." So I didn't jinx myself. Your point is well-taken. He could be a bust for a first-rounder, in which case I'm dead. On THAT team. ;)

Never draft to cuff your own player...draft someone else's cuff.ETA: what does Ted Nolan have to do with this?

Interesting. Just finished a draft out of the 5 hole. 12 teams-.5 PPR-flexBrees went at 2 and Alex at 4. I was facing LJ or Gore very unexpectedly, as I had been thinking Parker all along. Well, I went Gore. Guess you can say I drank the koolaide about all the negatives surrounding LJ this preseason. Have no qualms either, as I would have taken him at #3 if that was where I was drafting from. This league being a rookie keeper, I had Maroney at 2.8. AP went right before me in the 3rd and couldn't pass up Harrison at 3.5. Here begins the quandry. Next picks-Ahman had week 10 bye, same as Maroney. He will be my flex. (Don't get carried away, he was the BEST RB left in the 4th round. I mean even Brandon Jackson was gone by then.) Followed that up with Javon who of course would duplicate Marvin's week 6 bye. Kitna-week 6. Took Rex at 15.5 for reason above. The reason I bothered to go into such detail is not to talk about my team, just the similarities that our teams have in common. Yup, took AP (Chicago) as well. I actually think your team will overcome the bye week obsticales, I will.
 
I got a lot of strange looks, but I drafted Addai at #3. After LT & SJ, it was a tossup with about 5 RBs. I took Addai because of the Colts O and he's the only back in the next picks (Gore, Parker, Addai, Alex...) that didn't have any ?s.

Ended up grabbing TO in the 2nd and Benson in the 3rd; drafted Fitz in the 4th and Caddy in the fifth. Ten team league. Happy with my draft.
