Just about 20 days to go to the NFL Draft (1 Viewer)

What pick do you think is best to have? 1.01? Some say 1.03?

Does anyone have two picks in the top 5? Or is anyone working on getting two picks in the top 5?

:wub:

 
I have the 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4. Will not trade the 1.2, in fact, that's the one I'm trying to get in other leagues.

I actually value the 1.4 kinda close to the 1.3 this year. I think someone goes to a team like Detroit, Houston, Denver, or some other good situation in the 1st or early 2nd that will make that player an obvious choice.

The 1.4 this year is not like years in the past when there were players like Arrington and Jackson.

 
I'm starting to think the 1.4 could be a good value pick, all the talk is to be in the top 3. After the NFL draft Rice, F. Jones, C. Johnson, or Charles could land in a situation that the person drafting #3 FF might take one of these before Stewart, because of his injury and pending his NFL team. So you could have Stewart drop to you or choose between Rice and the RB situation you like the best.

 
So much is based on speculation when dealing FFB picks before the NFL draft. I've had a bunch of offers for the 1.04 but I just find it too hard to trade a pick before you know each prospects NFL situation.

I don't think there is any point in trying to jockey for position based on what "might" happen. Last year I moved heaven and earth to move up from 1.04 to get Calvin Johnson. I liked the player and the situation so I knew what I was willing to give to get him.

I try not to trade for a pick but rather a targeted player based on where I expect I'll need to be to get him.

I currently hold down 1.3, 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8. Not sure who yet but I have my sights set on Stewart and Felix so far, done alittle homework on the WR but nothing jumps at me. Depending on landing locations, seriously considering drafting RB with all 4 picks
 
I have picks 1.02 and 1.03 but our draft is "prior" to the NFL Draft so we draft based on talent as opposed to situation.

I would deal pick 1.03 to try and move back in the 1st round but no way I'm moving 1.02.

 
I have the 1.01, 1.03, 1.05, 1.06 and 1.11 in this years draft. Along with four 2nd round picks, three 3rd round picks and some others of lesser interest...

I absolutely will not trade any of my first four picks...

I am very happy that this years draft is much deeper at RB than last year BUT...

A lot depends on who gets drafted where. Last year I had multiple low first round picks in another Zealots league and was planning to take the likes of Booker, Leonard and Pittman but they all landed in terrible situations so they were taken out of the picture. After AD and Lynch; Brandon Jackson, Michael Bush, Chris Henry and Tony Hunt were drafted early and we know how they ended up last year...

There may be 6, 7 or even 8 good running backs in the draft but where they land will affect their value for sure. What are you going to do if one of the top three ends up in Dallas going against MBIII, not going to be much value at least for the first year and probably more...

I have the 1.01 and 1.02 is one of my dynasty leagues and I can tell you that LOTS of offers have been coming in for those picks. So yes, people are trying to trade up.

What are some of the better offers you've received for 1.1?

Loaded with picks - holy smokes.This draft is all about McFadden and Mendenhall, PERIOD.I have pick 1.1 and have received offers of Fitzgerald in one deal and Colston in another - no thanks.

In one of my non PPR 12 team dynasty leagues, I started the offseason with these first rounders: 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 12 after a total rebuild last year.

I planned on keeping most of them and the top 2 for sure. I got an offer that I could not turn down and moved the 1.01 and 1.10 for Addai/Keith and the 1.07. I still have the 1.02 and doubt I will move it in any deal.

So you go on were they get drafted? McFadden goes to Dallas and F.Jones to Denver F.Jones is who You would pick at 1.01? Or Mendenhall goes to Dallas and Rice goes to Houston and McFadden to SD and Stewart to Rams. You would pick Rice at 1.01? My point is, is it mostly the team a player goes to? Or doesn't go to?
 
I have the 1.2 in one league, and have offered that along with McGahee for the 1.3 and Addai. Still waiting to hear back.

In four dynasty leagues, i have 15 first round picks. I have every pick at least once, other than picks 6 and 10. I finished all my trading for picks last month, until after the NFL draft. I probably will not be trying to aquire any more picks between now and the draft, but might deal some if the price is right.I have the 1.2 in two leagues, and i am hoping that the owners in each listen to EBF and do not draft Mcfadden. I also own the 1.5 in 3 of the 4 leagues and i am hoping Felix Jones doesnt land in Dallas, because if he does, i will probably be stuck taking him in all three of those leagues. I might try and move down in the draft if i can get Kevin Smith later.

Oh, and i dont mind talking rookie picks, but couldnt you just have used one of the other 6 rookie pick threads you started?

 
i've got 1.01, 1.04, 1.05 in one league and i've had a lot of offers for the 1.04. like someone said looks like that 1.04 could have lots of value with the "injury" to stewart.

in a zealot league i have 1.01 and have had some offers to move to 1.03, but i just can't pull the trigger......kinda funny, in one league i think stewart might fall to me, but in the other i don't want to trade for him.....go figure :thumbup:

 
A few weeks ago, I traded the 1.01 in a Zealots league for the 1.02 & 2.02. I then traded the 1.02 & 4.01 for the 1.10, Derek Anderson, and Santonio Holmes. I still have the 1.04.

Thanks. 'I have the 1.2 in two leagues, and i am hoping that the owners in each listen to EBF and do not draft Mcfadden'.

That would be great, we would both be rich. :thumbup:

6 points for Td's? Not sure I like this trade. Unless of course you think Stewart was the pick at 1.01. But then again that would explain the trade. :thumbup:

I think the best so far is someone offered me their whole draft class. I'm more interested in moving the 1.02 however.
