Official drafting from the 6th spot in a 12 team (PPR) (1 Viewer)

[xenon]

For those of us who have the 6th pick, let's use this to help each other out.

Once you've drafted your team, please post it.

At this point, what is strategy for rounds 1 & 2?:

RB, WR

RB, RB

WR, RB

WR, WR

On the surface, I am thinking WR,WR…Calvin won't be there but is 6 too early for Demaryious?

 

[Phenomena]

My plan with the 6th-8th is WR/WR/TE (Gronk or Thomas) and scooping a bunch of guys later like Jennings/Vereen/Sankey/CJ/TRich to cobble together a RB core. I never pick the right early round RBs and my leagues are generally easy enough that I get the RB waiver pickups during the year, so why bother going RB early? Every league is different though.

 

[rocketsauce]

My current plan is to go WR in the first. Fingers crossed for Calvin, but seriously doubting it, so I'll take Demaryius or Dez happily as well.

There are a select few RBs in the 2nd I would pull the trigger on, notably Lynch, otherwise I'm likely going with my top ranked WR in Antonio Brown/Jeffery/Cobb.

I'm with Phenomena above here - I just don't mind cobbling together my RBs with those Rd 4-7 guys. I feel like they're just as likely to hit at the a lot of the guys I have to burn a 2nd and 3rd round pick on at RB. I'd rather be stacked at the other, more consistent positions, and try to catch lightning in a bottle at RB.

I'm also in discussions to try to trade down to 9, as I'd be more than happy with any of my top 9 in Charles/McCoy/Forte/Calvin/Peterson/Demaryius/Dez/Graham/Peyton. If I can get an earlier pick in Rd 2, and pick up just a little something later, I'll prob do it.

WR, WR

On the surface, I am thinking WR,WRCalvin won't be there but is 6 too early for Demaryious?

I am 8 but close enough to chime in. I am going to go WR/WR or TE/WR. I would get D Thomas if there for sure. So much value for RBs in the 4th-8th I am loading up at WR and maybe grabbing Graham.

 

[xenon]

I would love if Calvin fell to me at six. I am also wondering if somehow Forte does, if I snag him there? Given the choice of Forte or Calvin, I am going for Calvin but I am not thinking either one will be there.

Is Demaryious the clear #2 WR off the boards? It looks that way to me and with a WR/WR strategy, I think I gotta snag him at 6 and come back with a Nelson, Jeffry or Brown.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Not one person has mentioned Eddie Lacy. If the top 5 go Peterson, McCoy, Charles, Forte, and Calvin in some order I'm strongly considering Lacy at 6.

 

[xenon]

Lacy is an interesting thought @ 6. He's definitely a first rounder this year.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

If he doesn't get hurt, he's a near lock for double digit TDs and 1500 combined yards. Caught 35 passes last year, if he's on the field all 3 downs all year, that could rise as well. Young, has a year in the offense under his belt, and will be the GL back in a likely top 5 offense.

 

[FUBAR]

If you can flex a TE, Graham has to be a consideration at 6.

If not, I'm probably deciding between forte, lacy and Dez. Would likely go Lacy right now.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

At 6 - I assume Charles, Forte, ADP, Calvin Johnson and maybe Manning go. If that happens, I roll the dice on McCoy or Lacy. Flip a coin. If Manning doesn't go, then your choice just got easier - take whichever of the RBs didn't go. Why? After the top 6-8 RBS you are looking at RBBC and having to guess week to week.

6 is a pretty sweet spot this year. If your league mates are in love with RBs, there's a chance Calvin falls to you. Outside chance that Matt Forte falls to #6 as well. I know it sounds crazy but for whatever reason he doesn't have the "sexy name" recognition like Charles, Shady, ADP, etc.

If I'm #6, I am hoping that Calvin or Forte falls to me. If either are available, I pick one. I would probably take Forte over Calvin.

If neither of those guys are there, I'm taking Jimmy Graham in a heartbeat.

If Forte/Calvin/Graham aren't there, then someone ahead of you messed up and you can pick Charles/Shady/ADP...but that's unlikely.

 

[Monsters of the Midway]

I'm picking 6th right now in a DraftMaster 12 team PPR league. Overall, my strategy depends on where I'm drafting.

If picking early, take one of the big RBs (duh, everyone is probably doing this)

If picking late, ignore RB in the first 2 rounds and take Jimmy Graham and/or my Big Five WRs

If picking in the middle go more for best player available than a set strategy.

Round 1 went McCoy, Charles, Forte, Calvin, Jimmy Graham. ADP is a no-brainer there for me.

Round 2 I went with Jordy Nelson barely over Marshawn Lynch. Foster was available, Montee Ball was not.

Round 3 I decided to go QB as the #1 QB on my board was there. Not Manning (who wasn't available) but Brees, who has finished top 1 or 2 in each of the last 6 years and has some reloaded weapons that I like (Stills, Cooks). I very nearly took CJ Spiller

My Round 4 pick is coming up-I'm taking one of these 5, in this order: Spiller, Roddy White, Crabtree, Harvin, Gerhart.

Tight Ends are really going fast-Graham 1.05, Gronk 2.10, Julius 3.01. Cameron still on the board.

[rocketsauce]

While I'm completely comfortable with my above mentioned WR-WR-WR(orTE) strategy from 6, I keep seeing AP or Forte falling, forcing my hand to go RB. I'm usually still able to pull together a nice WR crew, but I'm almost always left wishing I'd just gone Demaryius when it's said and done. Maybe because I've now talked myself into loving those Rd4-7 RBs, I dunno.

i am in the same boat as you.I feel like a RB will fall to me but I just love the idea of 3 stud WRs out the gate with RBs later.

 

[xenon]

Anybody draft yet? If so. PLEASE post what you got out of the 6 spot (preferably in a 12 team)

 

[rocketsauce]

My draft is in 11 days. Still planning on going WR, and honestly hoping that AP & Forte go so I don't have to feel like an idiot passing on one of them.

My current first couple rounds plan:

1.06 - Calvin Johnson or Demaryius Thomas.

2.07 - Best WR - usually Antonio Brown/Jordy Nelson/Alshon Jeffery.

3.06 - Gronk or Julius possibly, if not, Garcon or Keenan Allen. If Brees or Rodgers slides to here (doubtful) I may pull the trigger on one of them too.

4.07 - Best case scenario is Rashad Jennings, but it is getting less and less likely. Likely RB, but if I go TE in the 3rd, might go Andre or Fitz if I'm so inclined.

5.06 - Assuming I'm at WR/WR/TE/RB, I'm likely going WR here, hoping for TY Hilton/Patterson guys. If I'm WR/WR/WR/RB, prob going RB - Mathews/Pierre/Joique.

If I don't land a top QB or TE in the 3rd, I'll plan on waiting till as early as the 7th and as late as the 12th on QB and TE. No one I'll really pull the trigger on at QB, but if I see Witten or Reed in the 7th/8th I may take them. I'm happy being the last owner to take a QB.

 

[ebsteelers]

i drafted from 6 about a week ago.

calvin was there at 6. dont be surprise if he is either.

4 rbs and graham... also i've seen dt go before him in one also.

I went

Calvin

Jeffrey should of probably taken brown

Spiller

Patterson went upside over white

its start 3 wr and 1rb (masters fantasy)

 

[jandyt]

Assuming big 4 RBS and Calvin are gone Im grabbing Graham. If Graham is gone then whoever of the other 5 fell to me. Last league I drafted Graham went 5 and I took Calvin at 6.

 

[ebsteelers]

OP are you opposed to taking graham at 6?

I noticed the TE choice wasnt mentioned

draft i was in tonight

was between graham or thomas..

 

[rocketsauce]

The closer I get to draft day (next Sunday) and the more info I gather from my leaguemates, I think there is a very good chance Forte is gonna be there at 6. I'm getting second thoughts on my WR-WR-WR start. Why not Forte - WR - WR - WR, looking at something like:

Matt Forte

Antonio Brown

Pierre Garcon

TY Hilton

or if I open WR

Demaryius Thomas

Antonio Brown

Pierre Garcon

Ryan Mathews.

Which do you prefer, pick #6ers?

 

[rocketsauce]

Anyone do any drafts from the 6 spot over this past weekend?

 

[kyoun1e]

Not one person has mentioned Eddie Lacy. If the top 5 go Peterson, McCoy, Charles, Forte, and Calvin in some order I'm strongly considering Lacy at 6.

I have #7 and if Lacy falls I'm grabbing him. He can anchor the RB corp and then in round 2 I'm going with whatever stud WR is left.

RBs dry up fast so I'm probably going with the best available WR and round 4 and then possibly grabbing J. Cameron in round 5.

Round 6 is usually where I find Luck staring me in the face...hard to turn down. Then round 7 I'm trying to grab whatever is left at RB...usually L. Miller.

Maybe because I've now talked myself into loving those Rd4-7 RBs, I dunno.

I don't know how you avoid taking one of the stud RBs if they are there.

You still can grab a stud WR in round 2. And I'm constantly surprised how much WR value is left in rounds 5 - 7. There is just one gigantic tier where everyone values the WRs differently.

That's why I have a hard time going WR-WR or WR-WR-WR...there is just constantly WR value all over a little later...and NOTHING in terms of RB.

 

[traderallenpoe]

Been doing a lot of research on this since I drew #6 late last week. Its 0.5 PPR which is an odd caveat.

After doing some recon work, the expected 1-5 is as follows (order may change)

1- AP

2- Charles

3- McCoy

4- Forte

5- Lacy / Lynch

6- If 5 goes Lacy, I am going Jimmy G (80%) or Calvin (20%)

If 5 goes Lynch I go Lacy (80%) or Jimmy (20%)

If I get Graham or Calvin I am targeting an RB (D Martin, L Bell) or WR on the turn (A Brown, Alshon) then Stafford in 3/4 and then Ray Rice aggressively in mid-rounds to compliment a more RBBC approach

If I get Lacy I'll go for WR on turn then Gronk/JT/Cameron in 3

Will post results Thursday night

I'm coming around. I think I'm going Forte at 6. The fact that I'm comfortable holding off on RBs only further emphasizes the fact that I should go Forte. Because having Forte gives me the freedom to not only build my WR corps in the next 5 rounds, but also leaves me open to snatching the value of a top TE or QB that I like if they fall. It keeps me less restricted, and gives me a money in the bank RB to build my team around, while still leaving with a likely worst case scenario of Antonio Brown or Jordy Nelson as my WR1.

This of course, assumes I'm right about the read on my league and Forte is there. I realize he won't be in a lot of leagues.

 

[traderallenpoe]

My draft was tonight. Again, out of the 6th slot, 12 tm 0.5 ppr and it went as follows:

1 Lacy

2 Gio

3 Cobb

4 Gherhart

5 Crabtree

6 Torrey Smith

7 Matt Ryan

8 Terrance Williams

9 Jeremy Hill

10 Jordan Reed

 

[Ol Sarge]

Don't be surprised to have to deal with idiocracy from your league mates. I'm currently in the beginnings of a long draft for a league that I joined to help out a friend of my Dad's who needed another manager. It's a strange league. 12 Team PPR with bonuses for big plays. You start 1 QB, 1 PK, 1 Def and 7 flex spots with a max of 3 RBs, 5 WRs and 2 TEs (Any combination of 7). To top it off, the TE position is a team position, not an individual player. So if you want Jimmy Graham, you actually draft the entire New Orleans Tight End group. (A few years ago, that meant you essentially had Gronk and Hernandez rolled into one player. You can stop drooling now....)

Anyway, I wound up drafting 6th and managed to get McCoy in the first and Murray in the second. With the fact that I can start up to 3 RBs each week, and with the RBs that are still on the board, I'm looking to make up my WRs in later rounds.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I'll post the draft results thus far and finish it out as it goes.

1.01 - Peyton Manning, 1.02 - Calvin Johnson, 1.03 - Jamaal Charles, 1.04 - Eddie Lacy, 1.05 - Damaryius Thomas, 1.06 - LeSean McCoy, 1.07 - New Orleans TEs, 1.08 - Julio Jones, 1.09 - Adrian Peterson, 1.10 - Matt Forte, 1.11 - Aaron Rodgers, 1.12 - A.J. Green

2.01 - Alshon Jeffrey, 2.02 - Brandon Marshall, 2.03 - Antonio Brown, 2.04 - Montee Ball, 2.05 - Andrew Luck, 2.06 - Drew Brees, 2.07 - Demarco Murray, 2.08 - Dez Bryant, 2.09 - Marshawn Lynch, 2.10 - Jordy Nelson, 2.11 - Denver TEs, 2.12 - *Still Waiting*

[rocketsauce]

Reporting in with some results:

ReDraft 12 team PPR, start 2 RB/3WR/NoFlex/1TE. Pick 6. *WARNING - Weak stomached RB enthusiasts should turn back now!*

Was planning on going WR-WR-WR(orTE) unless Forte fell to me at 6 in which case I would mix it up. Well the first 5 went 4RBs and Calvin, so Demaryius it was.

1.06 - Demaryius Thomas

2.07 - Aaron Rodgers (wasn't planned at all, but didn't expect him here in my 6 pts per passing TD league)

3.02 - Jordy Nelson (Traded my 3.06 & 4.07 for his 3.02 & 4.11 as Jordy inexplicably fell. I couldn't watch any longer.)

4.11 - Percy Harvin

5.06 - Ryan Mathews

6.07 - Kendall Wright

7.06 - Jason Witten

8.07 - Fred Jackson

9.06 - Mark Ingram

16.07 - Antonio Gates

17.06 - Jermaine Kearse

18.07 - Mason Crosby

Panthers/Texans

Very happy, and fully confident entering week 1 with Mathews/Freddy. I'll see how things evolve from there.

[Polka King]

12 team 1/2 PPR drafted tonight. I wanted Lacy and he went right before my pick. Then I had a shot at Stacy in the third, but he went right before my pick again. Got fed up and went WR, WR, WR. I hope a bench WR busts out so I can trade for a RB if necessary.

6 Calvin Johnson, Det WR

19 Julio Jones, Atl WR

30 Randall Cobb, GB WR

43 Toby Gerhart, Jac RB

[Mr. Know-It-All]

At 6 - I assume Charles, Forte, ADP, Calvin Johnson and maybe Manning go. If that happens, I roll the dice on McCoy or Lacy. Flip a coin. If Manning doesn't go, then your choice just got easier - take whichever of the RBs didn't go. Why? After the top 6-8 RBS you are looking at RBBC and having to guess week to week.

If McCoy isn't top 3 in your league something is wrong.

Agreed….

Something must be horribly wrong then - it went Charles, Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Lynch (Sea homer), McCoy, Peterson, Johnson, Stafford, Lacy, Foles, Ball

Lynch, Foles and Ball surprised me, but this is a qb heavy league.

Not one person has mentioned Eddie Lacy. If the top 5 go Peterson, McCoy, Charles, Forte, and Calvin in some order I'm strongly considering Lacy at 6.

When I've been doing my mock drafts online picking from the 6 or 8 spot, seems like I've ended up with Lacy every time. I'm kinda liking that. Then snag my WR1 in rnd 2. Seems like Gronk has been staring me in the face in the 3rd round every time. Then there are plenty of RB2 and WR2 to pick and choose in the 4th rounds and later.

Doug Martin in the 3rd?! I just don't see it happening in any of my leagues. I'd love it if he were, but I doubt it.

 

[smapdi]

10 team, PPR, 6pt all TD

I drew the 7th spot. Pick before me, guy had his choice between Peterson & Forte (Manning, Brees, and Megatron all went top 5) and went Forte.

I was set to go WR or TE but no way I'm passing on ADP. I would've taken him at 2 or 3 & he was staring me in the face @ 7.

1. Peterson

2. AJ Green

3. Randall Cobb

4. Zac Stacy

5. Toby Gerhart

Can't remember specifics of rest of draft. Starting lineup of:

Matt Ryan or Tony Romo

Peterson

Stacy/Gerhart/Sankey

Green

Cobb

Micheal Floyd

Kyle Rudolph

 

[Jayded]

Drafted last night and here were my first six picks:

Matt Forte

Jordy Nelson

Julius Thomas

Cordarrelle Patterson

Toby Gerhart

Russell Wilson

Honestly feeling ok about my draft, but not a total fan of my WR corps. Here's my whole roster, Non-PPR:

QB: R. Wilson, P. Rivers

WR: J. Nelson, C. Patterson, J. Maclin, A. Boldin, R. Cooper, J. Hunter

RB: M. Forte, T. Gerhart, T. Richardson, J. White

TE: J. Thomas

K: J. Tucker

D: Cincinnati

 

[WampusCat43]

10 team, PPR, 6pt all TD

Same setup here, the 6th pick was Calvin. Big run on QBs ensued and she got Demaryius in the 2nd(!). RBs are Gore and Spiller, though.

 

[Dan Hindery]

6 is a pretty sweet spot this year. If your league mates are in love with RBs, there's a chance Calvin falls to you. Outside chance that Matt Forte falls to #6 as well. I know it sounds crazy but for whatever reason he doesn't have the "sexy name" recognition like Charles, Shady, ADP, etc.

If I'm #6, I am hoping that Calvin or Forte falls to me. If either are available, I pick one. I would probably take Forte over Calvin.

If neither of those guys are there, I'm taking Jimmy Graham in a heartbeat.

If Forte/Calvin/Graham aren't there, then someone ahead of you messed up and you can pick Charles/Shady/ADP...but that's unlikely.

Agree with all of this.

I think the top 4 RBs are all no brainers if there at 6. Can't go wrong with Calvin Johnson.

Some will not look at TE as worthy of a top 6 pick, but Graham is my 6th guy. He just gives you such a big advantage at the TE position. He also has a nice combination of high floor (he's had 3 straight really good years) and a high ceiling as it is entirely possible (maybe even probable) that he has not yet had his best season and he is capable of some monster stats if he can stay healthy all year.

 

[Peak]

Resurrecting for this year. What strategies are ya'll using from the 6th spot?

Still looking at WR/WR/QB? WR/RB/RB? QB/WR/RB? TE/WR/QB?

Are there some decent RBs in the mid rounds (4-6) in order to skip RBs first few rounds?

I drafted in the 6 hole, 12 team PPR

The top 4 RBs and Brown were gone. I definitely thought that the elite WRs would be gone before pick 19 and I was right. So I went WR-RB.

My draft went:

1) Julio Jones

2) Justin Forsett (10th RB off the board)

3) Aaron Rodgers (hard to pass up this value at 3.6 in a QB friendly scoring league. Drafted before Jordy went down)

4) Keenan Allen

5) CJ Spiller

6) Gio Bernard

7) Anquan Boldin

8) Kyle Rudolph (big TE run between my 7th and 8th picks....would like to get Rudolph later. 11th TE taken)

9) Danny Woodhead

10) Brandon LaFell

11) David Cobb

12) AZ D (defense scoring pretty friendly....D's are drafted earlier than usual)

13) Joe Flacco

14) Josh Hill

15) Steve Hauschka

16) GB D

17) Cody Latimer

18) James Starks

Overall, like this team.....nice RB depth to complement Rodgers and Julio. Weak at TE and my WR depth is shaky, but these can be addressed with the waiver wire.
