just did my 15+ year, work re-draft league tonight.
12 teams, non-ppr, 14 roster spots, start 1QB/2RB/3Rec/1K/1DEF
here's how it went down...
1. Rice RB BAL (someone zigged at the 4 pick so Rice fell to me. Foster went 1st overall still and CJ went 11th!)
2. VJax WR SD (was between him, Nicks and Fitz. couldn't go wrong with any of those imo. best RB remaining fell to me at the next pick...)
3. Gore RB SF (after all the mocks, I was planning on going WR here but couldn't pass up Gore. SJax went right before me and Hillis right after)
4. Williams WR TB (best available WR imo)
5. Ingram RB NO (this is the guy I've been targeting as my 2nd RB in the 4th round but, after going Gore in the 3rd, I felt so lucky that he was still there in the 5th).
6. Manningham WR NYG (yes, I'm waiting on QB and loving this start to my draft. All 4 teams ahead of me already had QBs so I waited til the 7th to take...)
7. Big Ben QB PIT (wow. in the 7th round?! He was the 11th QB taken! 7 QBs went in the first 27 picks. LOVED waiting on QB this year just because of this value)
8. P Thomas RB NO (RBs drying up and felt I needed to handcuff Ingram. I got a weird vibe about being bit by the Ryan Mathews 2010 Rookie RB overhype)
9. Spiller RB BUF (yes, I go a bit RB crazy in this league. I usually only draft 4 WRs and no more since the waiver wire is pretty stocked with ok WRs with only 14 roster spots)
10. Ford WR OAK (decent value imo for my backup WR)
11. Carter RB IND (stupid pick for not going with Hunter here to handcuff Gore. Also, I had my first dynasty draft 2 days ago and had Carter on the brain. Interesting how dynasty rankings effected me in this redraft league
)
12. NYJ D
13. Gronkowski TE NE (bye week "receiver" fill in cuz I spaced the fact that Ford and Williams WR TB had the same bye week)
14. Cundiff K BAL (sometimes I don't even take a kicker in this league until right before the season starts. I didn't want to tip my hand about a few of the undrafted players that I liked at this last spot so I just didn't draft any of them and took a kicker instead)
And, YES, you're reading that right. I didn't take a backup QB at all. Probably nuts but what the hell. Big Ben has been a very healthy dude, his bye week isn't until week 11, and the backup QBs were flying off the board (9 QBs taken in rounds 7-thru-9) so I feel like I can grab a fill in off the waiver wire (McNabb, Garrard, Mia QB, Wash QB) when the time comes. If Big Ben gets hurt, I'm screwed. (but I could probably trade one of my RBs for a solid QB I'd think).
roster:
QB: Big Ben
RB: Rice, Gore, Ingram, P Thomas, Spiller, Carter
WR: VJax, Williams TB, Manningham, Ford, Gronk
K: Cundiff
D: Jets
I'm personally loving this roster, though I know I did some odd things along the way.
