Jon Kitna, Denver TE's & Robert Royal (1 Viewer)

I value the site, and I value other ranking sheets as well. I do however try to put together my own little ranking listing every year; it just helps me fully understand what I want when I sit down for my draft, and I force myself to face decisions early. You know, like "if player X is available at spot X, do I take him?". While doing this, I’ve had little questions/dilemma's come up, neither one of them worthy of their own thread, but I thought I’d propose them all to the forum in one thread. Here goes…

Oh yeah, REDRAFT…

1) I have Jon Kitna ranked towards the top of “Tier 2” QB’s. (QB9, ahead of guys like Leinart, Hass, Cutler, Romo). OK, give me an extra set of eyes here. Has a Lions homer went too far? Is he too high? Maybe even not high enough, I don't know. Or right where he should be?

2) Denver TE’s. Is it just way too early to tell which one will emerge as the #1? Football-wise, multiple TE's work well for teams like NE, but is usually a pain for fantasy. Which one is looking better right now? Schefler or Graham.

3) Speaking of TE’s, I have not seen one ranking sheet that is high on BUF’s Robert Royal. 9 catches, 111 yards, 3 TD’s in December was very impressive IMO, and it's not uncommon for a player to shoot up the rankings after a late season surge like that. What gives? Fluke? Nothing to see here? Is it just his age that has people down on bumping him up?

I guess that's it. Opinions/ please?

Bills haven't had a very good FF TE in a long time....maybe ever.

Graham isn't drafted in some leagues or real late. He is an excellent excellent blocker and no one notices his receiving ability. Wait for preseason to make sure Shanny does.

Either TE you can get pretty much whenever ya want in a draft now.

Kitna should do real well again as all Martz QBs seem to. My only concern with them would be that Duckett, Bell, Bryson, and rook from last year can create enough of a running game to take some pressure off him til Jones returns AND minimizing Jones' use til he's ready to go 4 quarters. See his ADP, it's not so far off IMO.

No I totally agree. I just see guys ranked ahead of him like Kris Wilson, who IMO will not have fantasy value in REDRAFT as long as Gonzalez is around, or Klopfenstein (sp?), who is surrounded by talented weapons on offense, not to mention newly acquired McMichael. I just can't help but ask why. Nice input, appreciated.
