Nothing has changed since the draft. For now, he's the WLB. But he was drafted with the MLB role clearly in mind. I think he'll outproduce Pos/Willis/Harris/Timmons from that spot, hence the ranking. It's closer than last year's Ryans over Hawk/Sims ranking, though, as all five could have top 20 numbers if their scenarios fall correctly.What can you tell us about him ? Any news from Carolina ? Is he your #1 assuming Morgan goes down, or can he be an instant FF starter from the WLB position ?Just picked him up in a rookie draft with the 23rd pick, 8th IDP rookie off the board
Dont mean to hijack, im up to pick at 2.02 in a dynasty league. MY LB are ok (Scott, Briggs, Demorrio Williams, Thomas Davis, Crowder) , my RBs Mcgahee, mike anderson, Lendale White, Tatum Bell.Dont mean to hijack, im up to pick at 2.02 in a dynasty league.

I would absolutely take Beason in that situation. I would not be surprised if he turns out to be your best LB - this year! Your RB choices are projections, and most likely guys that will sit on their (and your) bench.Dont mean to hijack, im up to pick at 2.02 in a dynasty league.

Scoring system and lineup matters to some extent here. An ability to start 3 RB and 2 LB would change things some, as would PPR on offense and minimal scoring for IDPs.In general, though, while others would disagree, I'd take the player with the highest upside at his given position even if it's a defensive player. I don't see Booker (who is a much better option than the other three) as more likely to have top 10-15 upside -- unless you think he's MJD Part Deux with Ronnie Brown around -- than Beason.I'd take Beason.
Thanks, you and alq have been a big help. Im hoping Booker is tehre at next pick anyway, but i took beason.
I would need to know your scoring system and I would need to know whether Willis and Poz were already off the board. If the scoring system was similar to Zealots, I would have taken Irons there. I think there was a chance that Beason would have lasted to 3.02.Dont mean to hijack, im up to pick at 2.02 in a dynasty league.

FWIW, Beason went at 3.09 in Z4 and 2.04 in Z31. He was the third LB off the board in both cases. Irons also went before him and Poz in both cases.
Willis and Pos were allready gone. I dont know what Zealots scoring is, heres what im working with though for reference. I was also considering that if Irons or Booker were gone by my 2.15 pick, i could still probably get Bradshaw, Wolfe, or Brian Leonard at my 3.12, 4.02, or 4.05. I did a lot of trading so I have multiple scattered picks. only 9 RB were ranked higher than Demeco Ryans in this league last year. Then a bunch of LB start showing up on the scoring rankings. RB drfted are AD 1.1, Lynch 1.3, Jackson 1.5, Henry 1.13, Bush 1.15, Hunt 2.3. With Hunt going so early to one of the teams that still needed a RB and the Rudi and Ronnie Brown owners both passing on Booker and Irons in the 2nd round, leads me to believe I may luck out. Willis went 1.8, Pos 1.10. I do not think Beason would stand any chance of being there at 2.15.

FWIW - In the Gamebreakers league (high IDP scoring, start full 11 IDPs and 4 LBs),
Well what to do after the big three of Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch?I agree with Barry Jive that LBs should be picked often and early in an IDP heavy leagues. I would even go so far as to say that I'd be more than willing to pick PP and Willis at 1.04. and 1.05. and possibly Beason after that before WR's like Meachem, Bowe, Jarrett and Rice in such a league (and IDP heavy leagues are really the only ones that can make me care these days). I view Jarrett and Rice as the ones most likely to have early success and I hate spending on WR's that aren't named Calvin Johnson (or have undenaiable ability such as he has) - too little return on the money spent (and if you're playing with a cap ties up to much).Others to be considered - maybe Russell as said above? I'm a bit hesitant towards Brady Quinn still and wouldn't want to spend more than a late first-rounder.All in all this draft sucks overall and even more so for FF. Deepest position is DE and those can be picked late or had for cheap in auctions in almost any format. I think there will be a lot of money spent for no return from the middle to late round one until late round two!One better do ones homework this year...
I stand corrected. League is much different than Zealots because of there are 16 teams and 1.45 points per tackle. Zealots also allows up to 3 starting RBs so it puts more of a premium on RBs. Not sure how many RBs you are able to start in your league but I imagine it would be 2. I am also wondering if you ended up with Irons or Booker at 2.15.Willis and Pos were allready gone. I dont know what Zealots scoring is, heres what im working with though for reference.

in my league and he went #3. I have read they exoect him to compete for WLB if Morgan plays(MLB if he doesn't), but will be named the starter?
