I like the WR/WR 1st and 2nd round followed by the QB/TE in the 3rd/4th like you mentioned. I've even gone WR/WR/WR/TE and that turned out well too. I doubt Charles, DWill, Greene or Benson will be there in the 3/4 turn in a 12 team league, let alone a 16 team league, but aside from that, I like your plan. I've mocked a few times and I like the way my team turns out best when I do what you describe above. But mocks are misleading. Most people in there tend to just draft to fill their starting requirments but in my real draft, most tend to take value. They'll draft 4rbs before their second receiver if that's where the value is. But I'll see how my draft unfolds and I hope I have the balls to hold off on the RB until the 5th.
Our league still tends to go RB heavy in the first two rounds. I may have to take a stud WR & best RB available in this slot & then in the end of the 3rd hope Schaub is there.
That approach definitely gives you the most flexibility when the 3/4 turn comes. You can go Rb/WR again if the value is right, or even RB/RB or RB/TE. Should be a competitive start. My issue with the RB's at the end of round 1 is simply they're tough to separate. I also think Shonn Greene should be considered there along with S-Jax and Williams.Leeroy Jenkins said:I'm thinking sjax/dwill and moss/Calvin/roddy
so, you are looking for a career year from Grant? Grant will get you 1200 11. R. Moss, R. Wayne, Fitz should get you that with a higher ceiling. Plus that is not including the PPR. I also like Forte/Addai/Moreno's floor much better than Ocho/Bowe/Walker.
Actually Grant had 1,450 last year with 11 TD's. And he's on one of the best offenses in football and he tore it up at the end of the year once his offensive line was at full power. I think Wayne's ceiling is actually the same as Grant's, probably lower. And I thought this was in a non-ppr. In ppr, then obviously WR-WR is probably the best bet. But you don't think that Boldin or both Steve Smiths (all of whom are often available at the 3/4 turn) will put up comparable stats to Roddy or Jennings? Moss will most likely not be there at the turn and I'm scared of Fitz. And I don't think Moreno and Forte will be comparable to Grant. At all. I like Addai. But me personally, I would like a start of Calvin/Grant better than Calvin/Roddy. It just gives you more options later. Now you don't need to go RB at the 3/4 if you don't want to. But if you went WR/WR, you'd sort of have to. But that's just my opinion.
Forte had 1400 yards last year. He did not have the TDs, which as you say is hard to factor in. I think that number will be better this year under Martz and he can be had at the next turn.
I'm in a 14 team league so RB's tend to thin out a little quicker that's why Grant wouldn't be that much of a reach and why I'm leaning towards the WR-RB pick. But I did see that Grant/Charles thread and I didn't mean to turn this into another pro-Grant party. I understand the argument for Charles and that's not a bad call either because I do like him. I just don't understand the love of Mathews and Greene over Grant. That's all I wanted to point out......if one were to go the WR-RB route, Grant isn't a bad idea.
Which S. Smith are you expecting to be able to get at #36?
14 team leagues nonPPR would make RB a premium especially if you can start 2. If LT wasn't there I would love Greene at this spot in front of that o-line. I think they made Thomas Jones FF relevant the last two seasons, not because he is so talented. Which is why I like Charles as I don't see Jones as a threat. LT is a great GL runner with something to prove.
Giants Steve Smith, he's been there virtually every mock and every redraft i've done so far.
