Just thought it would be interesting to get the thoughts of some of you experts in this forum like they do for the offensive players in the Shark Pool. My thought probably don't mean much, but here goes anyway.
Undervalued
DB's - S Knight, W Demps,C Woodson, D Starks
LB's - Zach Thomas, Al Wilson, Trotter, Barrow, Kassel, Foote, Cowart
DL - G Wistrom, R Seymour, K Jenkins, A Haynesworth
Overvalued
DB's - E Reed, S Taylor, R Harrison, Mike Green
LB's - J Vilma , DJ Williams, L Briggs, C June
DL - Sapp, R Mathis, J Hall,C Griffin
good list, but id like to hear more about why you think these particular guys are over/under valued.my thoughts:
Knight, like all of the older safeties (dawkins, milloy, parrish for example) is undervalued. Like old WRs, these guys just keep producing because their position is based on knowledge and experience as much as physical ability.
Demps, Ive already started a thread on, i think he's probably the single most undervalued IDP right now.
Woodson, Im not sure about because whoever is opposite him will get picked on unmercifully. I actually like whoever the CB2 (washington?) is more than woodson for fantasy.
Starks is undervalued, but the NE CB situation is crowded with gay and samuel chad scott and tyrone pool all being able to contribute.
Wilson, Thomas and Trotter are going right where they should imo. You still have to use pretty high picks to get them.
Cowart and Barrow are tough. They are studs when healthy, but the when in when healthy has been rare lately. I think Cowart is slightly undervalued and Barrow is just right, mainly because Barrow still has not completely tested his knee. He could still get cut...
Foote is undervalued for this year as the 3-4 ILB produces nice numbers, but long term, Im not sure. Wallace could displace him real soon.
Haynesworth is undervalued, but you have to think that he'll double teams all day until the DEs develop.
Wistrom and Jenkins are undervalued because they're coming off of injuries, classic shark move to pick them up.
Seymour, Im not sure about - the pats corps of Dlinemen and OLB/DE tweeners is so deep that you have to think that they would be well-served to use that depth to keep everyone well-rested as the game goes on. I think he's solid, but as a 3-4 DE, his upside is limited. classic "better real football player than fantasy" guy
Reed, I totally agree with because of the switch to the 46
Taylor, not sure. he could be undervalued if this legal trouble blows over.
Harrison is not overvalued. He's the #1 safety on my board. no reason to predict a skill dropoff or a lack of big play opportunities in that excellent defense.
Green, i agree I wonder if bobby gray or todd johnson will ever get into the mix in chicago. i think they are both threats to green's playing time if he struggles, and one may even push him in camp.
The only one of your overvalued LBs i agree with is june. he may not even have a starting gig come september. the rest are going right where they should.
Hall and Mathis are definitely overvalued - where is lance johnstone going in your draft? thats where mathis should go. how about alex brown? thats where hall should go.
Sapp is barely even draftable in most formats.
Griffin I like as one of the DTs you snag if you dont get williams or henderson - not sure why you think he is overvalued.
I'm in 6 dynasty leagues and I'd be surprized if Sapp is rostered in more than one. I think he is either undervalued or worthless. Take your pick. I also agree with Steve on Vilma.I'm not sure that I agree with Wistrom and Seymour as undervalued. Maybe Wistrom belongs on your list and I am the prime example of someone that undervalues him. Seymour looks to be headed into a contract squabble. I think people are being cautious rather than undervaluing him.
