Official 7th Pick thread 12 team non ppr (1 Viewer)

[dalco2208]

Lets discuss. This is an interesting spot as you VBD value gives you options at QB,RB and WR in the first and 2nd.

1st (Andre Johnson, Turner, QB1)

2nd (White, Mathews, Manning)

Just drafted out of the 7 spot. Here's the team. The two guys in () are the guy that went just before my pick and the guy who went just after.

1-Gore (Turner, Moss)

2-Fitzgerald (D. Williams, Marshall)

3-Grant (Colston, P. Thomas)

4-S. Rice (Romo, Crabtree)

5-J. Finley (Davis, A. Foster) (Is Foster really a 5th rounder now?)

6-Maclin (Knox, Spiller)

7-Ryan (Portis, S. Moss)

8-M. Bush (Cadillac, Palmer)

9-Maroney (McNabb, Cooley)

10-Gaffney (Mason, L. Washington)

11-Collier (GB D, B. Scott)

12-Hardesty (M. Williams TB, A. Gonzalez)

13-Kaeding (Roy Williams, McGahee)

14-Garrard (Burleson, M. Lynch)

15-SD D (M. Moore, Shipley)

Ended up with a team of:

QB-Ryan, Garrard

RB-Gore, Grant, M. Bush, Maroney, Hardesty

WR-Fitz, Rice, Maclin, Gaffney, Collie

TE-Finley

K-Kaeding

D- San Diego

Think I got great value in the first, second and fourth rounds. Not pleased with WR #3, but there has to be something a little weak.

I think the seventh pick is one of the best out there. As long as the draft doesn't go six straight RB's, you get one of the big 6. If you miss out on them, you get AJ, a very nice consolation prize. I also like the guys there at 2.6. While I got Fitz, I would have been happy with Williams or Marshall. There is a lot out there.

If you go RB/RB (one of the few slots where RB/RB actually seems viable), there are still very good WR's to grad in the third and fourth rounds. Colston/Crabtree would be almost as good as the guys I took. If Williams or Mathews falls, I think it's a great idea to grab them at 2.06 and go WR the next two rounds.

If you don't mind waiting on a QB, I think TE in the fifth makes sense, provided one of the top five are still around (Clark/Gates/Witten/Davis/Finley).

Then flex guys, a QBBC and/or a third WR. I like Bowe and there seems to be a slim chance he slides to 6.06. If not, Driver, or S. Moss.

I like the mid picks this year.

We draw for a slotting position and then pick our draft position and I actually picked the 7th draft spot this year because of the chance that you get either a STUD WR or RB to anchor your team and then let the draft flow to you. I'd be very happy to go with Gore, Turner or AJ and then build around them. I'm not one to take a QB real early, so my team is likely to look a tad different, but I'm definitely on the same page as several of your picks and honestly I'm hoping I could start out with a first 5 rounds like this...1. Gore2. Fitz/Marshall3. S. Smith (Car)4. Boldin/Rice5. FinleyDo you recall where Steve Smith went?

 

[Rick James]

I like the middle picks as well. I think at 7th overall you're super flexible. You have the benefit of more information, as opposed to drafting at the beginning/end of the round and not knowing if a player is going to make it back to you in 20+ picks.

1) Michael Turner- First 6 picks were all RB, so I was really tempted to take AJ here, but I love Turner this year and there will be a Top 8 WR on the way back

2) Miles Austin- really like this guy, Roddy and Marshall were there as well. Didn't want Roddy and Turner on the same team, just personal preference

3) Cedric Benson- was planning on taking WR here, but Benson fell to 3.7. No-brainer to take him over the available WRs (Sidney Rice, OchoCinco)

4) Tony Romo- I never take a QB this early, but there's a lot of value in Romo in the 4th.

5) Mike Sims-Walker- I don't know why he's going so late, but I've drafted him in every draft I've had, always in the 5th-6th range. really cheap pick, huge potential.

at this point I'm just drafting best available player:

6) Marion Barber

7) Michael Bush

8) Johnny Knox- love Johnny Knox this year. he's going earlier and earlier though, surprised I got him in the 8th

9) Robert Meachem-

10) Austin Collie

11) Kenny Britt

12) John Carlson- had to pass on TEs since I took Romo so early

This is a good team IMO. WR3 is a little thin, but RB is super deep and I have Romo.

However, if I had known that Joe Flacco would drop to the 10th round (!!!), I would have definitely passed on Romo in the 4th and taken Hakeem Nicks.

Smitty went 4.02, the last WR taken before I took Rice. What are your starting requirements? I don't like waiting that long to lock up a second RB. You can take a RB at 2, 3 or 4 and still have a very solid WR corp with two of the guys you list above. If your draft goes this way, where are you getting RB #2? Also, I don't think the seventh round is early when it comes to drafting QB. You get to the point where nine or ten teams have a QB and what you don't want to do is wait too long and find that a QB2 run has left you with Garrard and Alex Smith. You might be able to wait until the eighth, but be very careful.

I think I like one of the top 7 RBs in the 1st round. AJ is very good, but the fact that he's never had a 10 TD season scares me away from him at #7 overall because that limits his upside a bit. All along, I had been planning on grabbing a WR in the 2nd, either Marshall or White, but I'm starting to think I like Shonn Greene if he's there. Then hopefully DJax or Jennings slides to my 3rd pick. If not, maybe Steve Smith (Car).

I'm thinking something like this:

1-Steven Jackson

2. Shonn Greene

3. Steve Smith (Car)

4. Tony Romo

5. Hakeem Nicks

6. Jermichael Finley

7. Terrell Owens

Then load up on RB/WR depth the rest of the way...

my comment about not taking a QB early meant that I probably wouldn't be tempted to take a top 5 QB and would rather load up at the skill positions and take a chance with QBBC with a Kolb/Cutler/Ben/Eli/Flacco combo later. We start 3 WRs plus a flex with PPR and the best team I ever fielded a few years ago started out with SJAX, AJ, Calvin, Jennings, etc...1 RB and 4 straight WRs plus a nice TE (Gonzo went off) and Cutler with 4,000+ yds won me a championship.Knowing you can play 4 WRs each week is nice, so if you can get that anchor you can take chances by loading up at other positions it can really set you apart. If you RB1 gets hurt like what happened to me last year, you are dead in the water. It is a gamble.I do however like the idea of grabbing a 2nd RB if one falls, but it is PPR and I'd roll the dice on another potential top 10 WR than a guy like Benson...but that is just me. NEVERMIND, I misread and thought it was for PPR...I would definitely be taking a RB2 earlier than Rd 6.

Drafting from the 7 hole as well....

Still having a tough time ranking these 4 guys...all of which could be there.

A.J - never have been a fan of taking a WR in R1...especially this high

Gore - love him in a PPR league but think he'll be gone

Turner - could be a horse but lact of receptions is a ???

SJax - Horrid team, was injured down the stretch with a wonky back...yikes

More than likely I'll be building with a RB first even if A.J is on the board...then following up with a WR in R2

 

[gigantor]

Not crazy about this spot. Just did it tonight and for the first time ever went WR WR . Sjax and dwill were there but I passed for Andre and took Calvin second.

Also was a ten team not twelve.

Schaub, big Ben

Charles, best, Stewart, Felix, bradshaw, hightower

Aj, Calvin, Hines, Floyd,royal

Heath miller

Akers

Vikes

It turned out better than I thought it would after I took two receivers.
