[need2know]

No way vick or rodgers make it to me in round 1. I am now leaning wr wr or rb wr. I am thinking about going,early on matt ryan at the 3/4 turn with the other being best player available. Unless a top 7 qb falls. But part of me would take ryan over manning. Is that crazy?

awful lot of hype for Ryan. I would rather grab a guy like Brady, Brees or Rivers at the 12/13 slot and then not have to worry about it.

So you would take a Brady/Brees/Rivers and a top WR over Mcfadden/Turner and a top WR? I agree you will be set at QB but who knows what you end up with at RB. You would probably end up with D> Williams/ F Jones, Best, Ingram, Ellis, Blount, bradshaw type as your number 1 RB. Not bad backs but not what you would want as a number 1. Those are great number 2 backs though. I guess it just comes down to what kind of risk you are willing to take.

 

[Futz]

Very much considering the WR WR route. Cj/fitz/roddy or nicks then nab a stud qb in rivers brees or manning. then pound away at rbs for the next four rds to dig up some gems (best,ingram,felix,addai,Hightower). Its the only team that im mocking that actually makes me smile at in the end.

This coming from a rb guy as well. I see as many boom or bust picks in 4-7rd picks as i see at the turn right now. I might as well grab what i consider the surest bets on the board. Wrs.

yes I would. I moved down in the 2nd round to pick # 20, but I still hope to come out of the 1st 2 rounds with a top 3 QB (Brady or Brees) and a top 5 WR (Nicks or Fitz). If I had not traded down in the 2nd (and up in the 3rd & 7th) I would be going QB (Brady or Brees) at 12, WR at 13 (Calvin or Roddy), and then RB at 36 and 37 (DWill, Best, Greene).

 

[Short Corner]

I'm grabbing 2 RBs for sure...junk at 3/4 turn.

The junk RBs at the 3-4 turn are't much worse than the ones available than the ones you'll take at the 1-2. OTOH, the WRs you get at 1-2 are much better. Using ADP:AJ - Mike williams > MJD - BestI'll take a top 8 RB if one falls, if not, I am more than happy with 2 top 3 WRs.

This will obviously just be a matter of opinion. Plus I think there's less than a 50% chance that Best will be there at 3.12. Right now the RBs around that spot are Mathews, Best, Blount, and Greene. Other than Best, I'm passing on those guys. A mock I did last night landed me McFadden/Gore/Best/Peyton/Ocho/Harvin. Not too shabby, imo.

You have to stick with one argument. You can't say Best probably won't be there, then use a mock where he was there to support your line. In that scenario I take McFadden as well. Gore is coming off a an injury and playing in a bad offense with a horrible offensive line. If I GO WR/WR it means ADP-CJ-Foster-Rice-Charles-McCoy-Mendenhall-McFadden are gone. This leaves me with the following psossibly around at the 3-4: Bradshaw (3.08)Best(4.04) Green (4.03)Ingram(5.02)Matthews(4.01)Felix(5.11)Blount3.10)My last mock...CJ-Fitz-Best-Ingram-Grant-Witten-Stafford-Moss...

I am thinking those are the first round RBs I will look for as well. If they are gone I am taking Brady/Brees and best WR. Hopefully Calvin, if not FitzBut I am having trouble keeping Mcfadden in that list. He also has injury history and its not like his team is great. Can you convince me Mcfadden is worth a first round pick?

I am in the same boat as you with McFadden. I still may go WR-WR with him there. Unless I can get a top 7 QB in the 5-6 turn (Rodger,Vick, Manning, Brady, Brees, Romo, Rivers) I am going to hold off and look for value later.

 

[JohnnyCat]

Drafted earlier this week in a 1pt PPR QB/2RB/2WR/1RB-WR/1TE/DEF/K, standard scoring.

1.12/2.01 McFadden and Andre Johnson.

Was very happy to get those two. McFadden has the chance to finish top 5 RB this year. Everyone went with the top RBs, Calvin Johnson and Vick.

3.12/4.01 Best and Ingram.

I went with Ingram over Mike Wallace in the 4th because if I didn't get Ingram there, I believed there was a slim chance I could get him next pick. I'm high on Ingram, we'll see if it comes back to bite me. Felix Jones was also available, although I was not targeting him.

5.12/6.01 Harvin and Manningham.

Had to get a second starting WR. I took Manningham over Vernon Davis/Finley and Ryan/Rothlisberger. I don't know if passing on any of them was a good idea, but I did wind up getting my next best TEs later in the draft. Based on everyone else's roster, I thought my next pick would have one of those QBs left, but I was wrong. Another player took his second QB in the 7th.

7.12/8.01 E. Manning and O. Daniels

Had to take a QB as they were running thin. O. Daniels I think was good value in the 8th.

9.12/10.01 K. Winslow and J. Flacco

Another QB and TE. I am hoping out of these 2QBs and 2TEs I can find a viable starter every week or one over performs. I think Winslow that late was a good value pick too.

That was the meat of the draft, the other rounds not as important

I dig that team. Nice job.

 

[atcdav]

None of those rbs are falling that far in mocks. So far, the best teams feature a WRWR or a QBWR combo. then go after rbs hot n heavy in the next 3 rounds.i.e. Rodgers/Calvin/best/blount/ingram orCalvin/White/ same rbs and nab a freeman/stafford combo

I agree. I am picking 13th in a 14 team league. I am looking at wr/wr/rb or wr/wr/qb

 

[need2know]

done alot of mocking latley and if the right RBs fall, I would take 2 at 12/13. It is kind of nice not having to worry about RBs for a few rounds, BUT you miss out on a top 5 WR

I have gotten Mendy/Mcfadden few times which is not realistic/ the most unrealistic one I got was McCoy and Mcfadden.

also gotten Mcfadden/Turner which happened alot and i may do this. alot of TDs with that combo

I'm another one who is unsure on McFadden.How about someone who is a big McFadden guy chiming in here and convincing us he is worth the pick.

 

[rifkin]

I've mocked at this position a lot on 2 places. So all the tier 1 RBs(AF,ADP,CJ,Rice,JC,Shady(ppr) are gone. AJ is gone. Until Thursday night Vick was gone, so we'll have to see how that plays out. CJ/White rarely make it. Sometimes that WR group AJ-CJ-Roddy-Fitz don't make it. So for me if one those WRs make it I take him. If 2 I take both. If none then that means I usually end up with a choice between DMac/Mendy/Rodgers. If you are a girly man and are scared of finding a QB out of the top 7 then take Rodgers. I love getting 2 of the top 4 WRs. My 3/4 ends up being something from Best,Greene,Dwill,Jones,Blount then my 5/6 is usually Fjackson/(Manningham/Lloyd/Harvin/88.etc). I like my team better when I wait for a Stafford/bradford combo at QB.

 

[kutta]

I've been doing a lot of mocks from the 11 hole (where I'm picking in all three leagues this year) and almost always I'm seeing McFadden, Turner, MJD, Gore, and SJax available there. I don't really like any of those guys. The top 7 RB's have been gone in every mock I've done.

Usually Andre and Calvin are also gone, and then one of Vick or Rogers. I have tried drafting a QB in this spot, and I just really don't like the team I come up with. My team always seems better when I take two WR's here and load up on RB's later. So I've been trying to get Roddy and Fitz (the only two worthy, IMO), and then pick up two of the standard RB's at the 3/4 turn. In one draft I got Hillis and Best (all the others were gone, but Hillis slipped through). In another I got Green and Blount.

I am VERY comfortable waiting on QB this year. There are so many good ones still available in rounds 6-7-8, it just doesn't seem to make much sense to grab one early in this spot when you could secure two top flight WR's instead.

 

[need2know]

alright so after doing some major homework/research on guys picking ahead of me it seems quite a few owners are looking at WRs and QBs in round 1.

At least 3 QB will be gone. Vick, Brady, Rodgers, and maybe even brees

2-3 WR will be gone. AJ, Calvin, maybe fitz.

What this adds up to is some major RBs being available for me. I could get two out of McCoy, Charles, Mendanhall, MJD, and Mcfadden

As I stated in the first post, my leagues scoring is a little weird. .5 ppr. 10 yards for pt for RB, 20 yards per pt for catches. all Tds 6pts

RBs are worth so much more. Especially if you can get two that get alot of receptions. I am thinking its two RBs for me. any combination of the above two would be pretty sweet in my opinion. I can get a QB and WR on the 3/4 turn and look for WR through the middle rounds...

 

[HULLOBUDMAN]

Your scoring system deflates the value of going WR/RB or WR/WR. Club the runningbacks like baby seals and pickup value at WR through trade later.

If I am right, Roddy White scored a total of 186 point last year to lead your league.

This was 3 points less scored by BJGE and 6 points more scored than LT who ranked 15th and 16th RB.

The scoring system is so lopsided against WR, it blows taking WR in the first couple rounds in my opinion. I have taken a Wr with one of my first 2 picks in almost draft over the past couple years too.

whats funny is I dont think anyone else in my league understands the scoring. Or they cannot do math. Their actions show it, they continue to take WRs and QBs early. why? If I get two strong RBs and a good QB I am set. RB/RB here i go

14.1 – B. Gibson

15.12 – Lions D

16.1 – M. Hardesty

17.12 - Gould

 

[Futz]

Draft is tomorrow and I was pretty content with these strategies except I'm starting to buy into the DMC hype.

.25 ppr WR/TEs only, 6 pts all TDs

In order of current preference:

1) If Vick falls, I grab him and a stud WR (Calvin,Fitz,Roddy) Rodgers not an option. I'm concerned about the concussions.

or

2) Vick doesn't fall, WR/WR and go RB heavy with a lot of big upside guys such as Best/Felix/Ingram/Moreno/Hightower/Addai. Nab a QB late Freeman/Stafford/Flacco/Eli

or

3) Now, I'm buying the DMC hype so I may grab him and a stud WR and just keep going BPA the remainder of the draft.

ok, had my draft last night

12 team redraft, .5 ppr, all tds 6 pts, 10 yards per pt rush, 20 yards per pt rec, 25 yards per pt pass, -3 INTs, -2 fumbles

round1: MJD

round2: McFadden

round3: B. Marshall

round4: Boldin

round5: Maclin

round6: Freeman

round7: Addai

round8: p.Thomas

round9: Amendola

round10: Gronkowski

round11: Jennings

round12: SD Defense

round13: Matt Cassel

round14: Andre Roberts

round15: A. Vinateri

I like it, except for QB. if I could do it again I would have reached for Matt Ryan(or someone else) in round 4. I waited hoping for better options in the next round and was wrong. nothing was available in round 6 except Freeman and Eli as 10 out of 12 teams had chosen their QBs already. I did not want to get stuck with Eli cause the -3 INTs kills you and did not want to chance stafford or another option. QBs that were gone included: Rodgers, Vick, Brady, Manning, Ryan, Schaub, Big ben, Flacco, rivers, Romo/ Anyways I feel like my WRs are pretty good considering I did not take one in rounds 1-2 and if my Rbs stay healthy that could be a killer duo. the difference in WR and RB scoring makes RBs that can catch gold in this league. good luck all

I'm a big McFadden proponent, and would have taken him as high as 1.07 if I was slotted there. Incredible combination of speed, power and receiving ability. He can produce numbers on a par with any RB in the league. Just be sure to invest an 8th or 9th round pick on Michael Bush for insurance.

I had intended to go Calvin Johnson / McFadden to start (6 pts passing league with bonus for long TDs), but Andre J, Roddy and Calvin were off the board. So I went with Plan 1(b) as follows:

1.12 Darren McFadden

2.01 Drew Brees

3.12 Reggie Wayne

4.01 Dez Bryant (was determined to get this guy)

5.12 Cedric Benson

6.01 Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch

7.12 Santana Moss

8.01 Owen Daniels

9.12 Michael Bush

10.01 Eli Manning (yeah, I know a backup QB who will pass for 4000 yards; did not expect him to fall this far)

11.12 Eagles D (and DeSean Jackson returning punts)

12.01 Devin Hester

13.12 Jerome Simpson

14.01 Isaac Redman (Mendenhall got over 400 touches last year)

15.12 Kevin Walter

16.01 Devery Henderson

17.12 Adam Vinatieri

18.01 Bernard Scott (really like this guy as Benson insurance)

 

[Texasmouth]

12 team PPR, 1 PPR, 6 point REC/RUSH TD, 4 point passing TD, 1 pt 10 yards rush/rec. 1 pit= 25 yards pass

1.12 Fitz

2.01 Jennings

3.12 Blount

4.01 Felix

5.01 Stafford (Huge reach but there was an honest major QB run and no one was left..literally Stafford was BPA at QB)

6.12 Owen Daniels (Again, huge run on TE, Daniels was BPA)

The rest is about the same as others above. I got caught by two huge runs. Seemed everyone had the same exact strategy as me. Big Ben, Shaub and Ryan went right before me. TE went early and fast. Im not totally upset with who I ended up with but hoped to land a better QB with Stafford as my #2 with potential.

 

[kutta]

I drafted in the 11 hole, but this thread has more legs than that one. Standard scoring (no PPR), start 2 RB and 2 WR. Here's my team:

1.11 Calvin

2.02 Fitz

3.11 Felix

4.02 Shonn Greene

5.11 Beanie

6.02 Manningham

7.11 Gronkowski

8.02 Matthew Stafford

9.11 Kevin Kolb

10.02 Michael Bush

11.11 Jared Cook

12.02 Demarco Murray

13.11 NYG D

14.02 Hartley

15.11 Robert Meachem

16.02 Shaun Hill

I pretty much knew I wanted Calvin and Fitz if they were there. McFadden was gone, but Vick and Chris Johnson were both available at both my first and second round picks. I thought about both those guys but decided to stick with my stud WR's because I really liked the RB's in 3-4 that I thought would fall. Overall I'm pretty happy with this team.

 

[Frank Black]

For PPR leagues, it seems very likely that Calvin and Fitz will be gone, leaving Jennings as a common choice for your 1st WR if you draft a WR at 1/2. Often, McCoy is on the board. I'm not as enamoured with Jennings as I am the other elite WRs but it's hard sometimes to live with not having a high level #1 WR on your roster. What is the worst downside in PPR to go WR-RB at 1/2? I feel like it gives you a solid anchor and allows for more flexibility, especially for 5/6.

You are less likely to have McCoy drop to you than Calvin. Unless you are really high on Jennings, there are 5 better guys to choose from if the 2 you mention are gone.

Just got done drafting at 1.12 in a PPR league; 6 pts all TDs; Starting line up = QB;RB;RB;WR;WR;RB/WR flex; TE; D/ST; K

I am a little mad that I did not get Stafford. All 11 teams had their QB (Eli Manning went 11). And the guy with Peyton Manning reached for Stafford as back up. SO I decided to wait on QB and landed with the following draft/team....thoughts? Obviously I plan to go QBBC playing matchups as we go....I like the AFC West Defenses to go up against.

Roddy White

Larry Fitzgerald

Antonio Gates

Brandon Lloyd

Beanie Wells

Tim Hightower

Cedric Benson

Ryan Grant

Jay Cutler

Kyle Orton

Matt Cassell

San Diego

Roy Helu

Davone Bess

Denarius Moore

Minny D/ST

Jason Hanson

QB: Cutler/Kyle Orton/Matt Cassell

RB: Beanie Wells/Tim Hightower/Ced Benson/Ryan Grant/Roy Helu

WR: Larry Fitz/Roddy White/Brandon Lloyd/Davone Bess/Denarius Moore

TE: Gates

DEF/ST: SD/Minny

K: Jason Hanson

Thoughts?????

The best laid plans of mice and men and mock fantasy drafters often go awry.

I was planning on waiting on QB, knowing that I could get Stafford in the 7th. This plan was going swimmingly as I stocked up on other positions until some idiot took Stafford in the 5TH FREAKING ROUND, causing a general QB panic that resulted in all remaining QBs with a pulse going early and thus leaving me, when the dust had settled, with a formidable Freeman/Orton combo platter.

Moral: Mock all you want, but you never know what kind of crazy hijinks are going to happen when it comes time for the real thing.

Love your wide receivers and TE. Dislike your quarterbacks (borderline hatred, actually). Unexcited by your runningbacks.

you are correct sir. I ended up with freeman and Cassel. Not very exciting. I hope freeman is as good as some folks say he is. I will say this, from looking at his game logs he is really consistent. like 200 yards and a TD every game and usually no turnovers. he really only had 2-3 big games last year, but only 1-2 clunkers. if he can repeat that, i can live with it. Plus, hes probably gonna score a couple on the ground this year. Just cant expect him to win games by himself. I have a solid core of RBs and Wrs so I should be OK.

Ran into the same issue you did. 10 teams had QBs taken with both Eli and Stafford still remaining. I was fine picking either. Eli went soon to the 11th team and then the idiot that had Peyotn Manning in the 3rd round picked Stafford as back up (who he will never start unless Peyton's health issues continue). So I was stuck picking the Cutler/Orton/Cassell combo. The good news is our WW is first come first served so I may snag Grossman too if he is the starter and between them play match ups. As long as I can get 200 yards 1 to 2 TD every week I will be fine. May be tough to do though every week.....I am actually excited getting Ryan Grant so late. I think he will be the undisputed starter and in that offense provide very solid protection.
