Pretend that the draft goes like this for the top 16 fantasy prospects:

Bush - HOU

Leinart - NO

Young - TEN

V Davis - BUF

Cutler - BAL

CJackson - DEN

Holmes - TB

DWiliams - NYG

White - CAR

Maroney - IND

Addai - NYJ

Moss - DEN

Pope - ARI

Drew - DEN

Calhoun - GB

Norwood - ATL

Again, IF the draft played out that way, in what order would you draft them in a standard scoring dynasty league?

Just drafting from this list, you'd have to like Maroney and Drew. Both have good shots to start this season.DWilliams to the NYG is very interesting.

I agree. I was wondering if Pope to ARI would be better than Davis to BUF? And whether Holmes to TB is better than Jackson to DEN?

Drew in Denver is a replay of 'Q'. If Drew landed there he'd be a punt returner for sure. Probably to counter KC with Hall.

Obviously the draft won't go like this, but I'll play along.

Bush - HOU - I don't care what happens, he remains #1

Maroney - IND

DWiliams - NYG - this is the only time I've dropped him from #2, I don't like doing it, but Maroney in Indy would be good.

White - CAR

Drew - DEN

Leinart - NO

Addai - NYJ

V Davis - BUF

CJackson - DEN

Moss - DEN

Young - TEN

Calhoun - GB

Norwood - ATL

Holmes - TB

Cutler - BAL

Pope - ARI

Are you sure you meant to have the Broncos take 2 of the top 3 WRs?

Yep, but this actually isn't my mock. I'm wondering if people drop Jackson because they also take Moss.

 

[mike11162]

Wow, it could almost break like that, except NO won't take Leinart.

I disagree about Drew's stock in Denver. If they take the midget, I think it boosts Bell's stock there.

If I had to rank them 1-16, I'd go Bush, Maroney, DWilliams, L.White, Addai, C. Jackson, V.Young, Leinart, Holmes, V. Davis, Calhoun, Norwood, Cutler, Pope, Drew, Moss in that order, but team needs in the league could alter the order of a few of the mid and later picks.

I assume Lelie is gone in this scenerio.Not to make a big point of it, but Davis in Buffalo might be the surprise of the draft.

I agree and as good as he is, I wouldn't be that happy as a Bills fan as we need help in the trenches. But it is a possibility and I was interested to see how far he would drop.

 

[mike11162]

Denver needs 2 wrs, especially if they trade Lelie. But even if they don't, CJax replaces Rod Smith in a year or two and Moss eventually is their #3 and slot guy.

Yeah, I get that. What I don't get is how they don't address their defense.ETA - I really didnt' mean to make this a discussion about the draft, just asked whether it was a typo.

 

[Baracuda]

This would be a dream scenario for me as I have the 1.2 pick, but only White, Drew, Calhoun, Norwood are the available RBs in our league from this list. I value rookie RBs, WRs, QBs, and TE's in that order in dynasty leagues, unless a truly special player is out there (i.e., Vernon Davis).

My first round (12 team league):

1.1 Reggie Bush, HOU - no brainer

1.2 Laurence Maroney, IND - like the RB, love the offense

1.3 DeAngelo Williams, NYG - tough call with Tiki still there, but too talented to pass up

1.4 LenDale White, CAR - not a huge fan, but in CAR, he will put up solid #s

1.5 Maurice Drew, DEN - I think he's legit NFL starter despite being 5'7". A Joe Morris clone.

1.6 Brian Calhoun, GB - people are down on him after his 40. I still believe.

1.7 Joseph Addai, NYJ - speed and size, but the Jets offense is questionable.

1.8 Vernon Davis, BUF - seems about right. After all the identifiable RBs go.

1.9 Chad Jackson, DEN - with Lelie likely gone, this would be a good spot

1.10 Santorio Holmes, TB - my #1 WR in the draft, but I like the player better than the offense.

1.11 Vince Young, TEN - even if he's only like Mike Vick he's worthly of a late first round selection

1.12 Matt Leinart, NO - I see him as rich man's Chad Pennington

The draft won't look like this at all. I can't see half these guys landing where you have put them so why bother discussing this? I think I'll wait till after the draft to talk about where the dynasty stuff shakes out. Seriosuly, the draft is 9 days away and then we have 4 months to talk about this. Why waste the time looking at this scenario?

It's a mock from a very reputable site. But I guess you know much more than people that make a living doing this, huh?

I see your point, but I have no problem discussing it now and later. I can't wait for the draft. I mean after all, it's not like I have something better to do...

How many did the, "Draft Guru," Mel Kyper, get right last year? Was he even 50%? Just because they do this for a living doesn't mean they know what the hell they are doing. It's like those guys that write books about how to become millionaires. How did they get rich? Because people bought the books. These guys don't have to be right. They just have to market themselves well....

If you don't see the value in trying to decide how a certain team drafting a player will impact your rating of a player, to check to see if you have some biases inherent in your player rankings, then this isn't for you. But I think it's pretty instructive to see if my rank of Vernon Davis for dynasty leagues is really impacted by my guess that he's going to get drafted by the 49ers. If I can see now that I'm lowering him alot on my list because he might get drafted by the Bills, then maybe I should re-examine my ranking of him as a player regardless of the team that drafts him.

Anywhere he will land , Drew wont be more then a third down back.

Agreed , there was another mock draft this morning from another reputable site,you know it might be the same one we are talking about .

But you know it was so bad even this one is a joke .

Those guys dont know more then we do. They know how to rank players but have no clue what the teams will do .

ANY QB is more attractive for fantasy with Arizona. A Jugs machine could throw for 200 yards with those WRs.

[Red Herring]

Bush

Maroney (hate to even type it, as I can count on1 hand the # of teams I think he would thrive in, but Indy is one)

DWilliams

White

VDavis (I'm in the minority here, but I love VD to Buf from a fantasy slant. They have 4 of the same guy at WR, they need a possesion guy, VD wins by default.)

Addai

CJax (would be #2 this year and #1 in a couple)

Young

Calhoun

Pope (Situation put him here too: 3 guys need double coverage before you get to him, he'll never, ever see more than the SLB or nickel guy, and his size wins that battle)

Cutler

Lienart

Drew (Anywhere but Denver and he's even lower. All Bronco Rbs have a bit of value.)

Norwood

Holmes (won't get enough opportunities early in his career to warrant a high pick)

Moss (#3 this year, maybe #2 when Smith retires, maybe. poor mans Dante Hall)

eta:I liked my arguement for pope so much I moved him higher

 

[-OZ-]

VDavis (I'm in the minority here, but I love VD to Buf from a fantasy slant. They have 4 of the same guy at WR, they need a possesion guy, VD wins by default.)

I agree to a point. The Bills have Lee Evans and a few guys who do a very poor impression. Still, you're right to say that Davis would be the possession guy.

Exactly -- and if they get VD, it means no new LT. No new LT means JP running for his life and looking for the possession guy while Evans and co. can't even finish a pattern before the play breaks down.

 

[msommer]

Addai to the Jets in the second round would be very interesting from a FF perspective - when will the wheels come off for C-Mart and is Houston ready? Blaylock is obviousl front runner for taking over but he has some injury concerns...

Yep, interesting stuff when you look beyond the big 4 RBs. Of course, we'll find out where the players are going in 9 days anyway. But it's a nice exercise to start thinking about what would happen if X team got a Y position player.
