FBG projections, generally
Because he is an absolute beast... and in a couple of years we won't even be talking about Roddy White... i mean the dude had 960 rec yds, 55 catches, and 8 tds in only 10 games last year.. in his rookie YEAR!
He is like the next T.O. with the ability to break tackles and take it to the house on any play..
88 rec, 1534 yds, 13 tds if he played the whole season at that rate... and that was without training camp... in his last 4 games last year when he was finally completely healthy again his statline was 3 rec 104 yds 2 tds; 5 rec 85 yds 1 td; 8 rec 128 yds 1 td; 4 rec 76 yds 2tds; that equates to 20 rec, 393 yds 6 tds in his last 4 games... over the course of a season that would equate to 80 receptions, 1572 yds, and 24 tds... now the TD's are a little over rated there... maybe more like 15tds... but that is very possible with this guy...i can't imagine him getting anything less than 80 rec, 1400 yds, and 9-11 tds... not to mention did you see him in preseason already in one quarter of action?? he was unstoppable... wrap your mind around that

So I'm sitting in the airport yesterday and the owner with the #5 picks offers his pick and a 6 pack of Modelo's for my #11 pick. I took it. I didn't like any of the RB's looking to be there other than McFadden and I bet he will be gone by then. If no RB I would be looking at a Julio/Stafford type start (nothing wrong with that) but feel I could get a surer think at QB (if Calvin gets dinged Stafford loses a lot of luster, where Rodgers, Brady and Brees have multiple weapons). Keep in mind 6 point all TD league and 5 point bonuses for 300 yards. No TE mandatory.
I will get Rodgers or Brady (unless a McCoy somehow slips - possible) then build from there. I really think with all of the question marks a solid RB will drop to me with the 7th pick of the 2nd round but I will take best player available, and then I have lots of flexibility drafting RB's/WR's the rest of the draft, not even having to think about the QB position. In our league, it's nice to get 30-40 points/week locked in at the QB position, and QB's who average 3-4 TD's a week and have 8-10 300 yard games a week are pure gold.
So, I'm officially a sell out.

I can't think of a better starting 5 picks in any draft, at any draft position. I'd like to see the first 14 picks where Calvin and McFadden both fell to you. And Julio at #35? By way of comparison, McFadden went #9 in our draft, and that owner came back in round 2 to get Julio Jones. You got Calvin Johnson, and THEN those two? Unbelievable.

In truth, only about 3/4 of the guys seem to know what they're doing, and that's after at least 4 years experience (some have been doing this longer).The "conventional wisdom" this year seemed to be go QB early at all cost. So I sat and waited.
1 Matthew Stafford, Det QB
2 Aaron Rodgers, GB QB
3 Drew Brees, NO QB
4 Arian Foster, Hou RB
5 Ray Rice, Bal RB
6 LeSean McCoy, Phi RB
7 Maurice Jones-Drew, Jac RB
8 Tom Brady, NE QB
9 Matt Ryan, Atl QB
10 Cam Newton, Car QB
11 Calvin Johnson, Det WR
12 Chris Johnson, Ten RB
The Ryan pick was crazy, and probably spurred the Newton pick.
13 Andre Johnson, Hou WR
14 Darren McFadden, Oak RB
15 Greg Jennings, GB WR
16 Matt Forte, Chi RB
17 Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR
18 Marshawn Lynch, Sea RB
19 Roddy White, Atl WR
20 Adrian Peterson, Min RB
21 Rob Gronkowski, NE TE
22 Jimmy Graham, NO TE
23 DeMarco Murray, Dal RB
24 Michael Turner, Atl RB
Nothing too crazy here.
25 Hakeem Nicks, NYG WR
26 Mike Wallace, Pit WR
27 Jamaal Charles, KC RB
28 Eli Manning, NYG QB
29 Steven Jackson, StL RB
30 Wes Welker, NE WR
31 A.J. Green, Cin WR
32 Ryan Mathews, SD RB
33 Vernon Davis, SF TE
34 Fred Jackson, Buf RB
35 Julio Jones, Atl WR
36 Ben Roethlisberger, Pit QB
Really, other than Ben, I can't point to anything too outlandish here (but I'd already picked). I like Julio better than Wallace, Welker and Green, but
Took Marshall and figured I'd buy some lottery tix on RBs. Should find some value with Doug Martin, Ingram, Leshoure and Donald Brown as a 2nd RB to McFadden. Taiwan is still out there in the event of an emergency. If the rest of the RBs look weak, I may hedge (limit of 5 RBs per roster - not a rule I like, but have to live with).
Would have liked a better DEF, but with the first going off at 5.01 (SF), no way I was getting one early.
Classic value based draft.
