You take your best available RB at 2......doesn't matter if it's Foster, Charles, or Martin. Take one.
I will assume Jimmy Graham will not be available at 23.....the odds of that in a PPR are slim to none.
At 23, I would take a top remaining 6 WR if one is available. Most likely that will be one of Dez, Julio or D Thomas.
If none of these WRs are available, I take the best available RB with the 23, and then a WR like AJ, Roddy, Fitz, or V Jackson with the 26.
So I am looking at 2 RBs and 1 WR drafting from the 2 hole.
What about going RB / RB / RB with Charles / Sproles and Murray, then going wr/wr/wr in rds 4-6?
Here is how i would deal with this--if you're worried about him, then do not draft him. There is no need to have to worry about your FIRST round pick's health. Imagine how sick you will feel if you do think he is an injury risk AND he gets injured in week 1.Still chewing on DMart, JCharles, Mega or McCoy.
Charles foot injury, albeit a scare, immediately shoots a 'prone' bolt through my body.
Anyone else worried enough about JC's durability enough to pass him up?
I'd love to land Chris in 2nd. Oddly, about 2 weeks ago when I started doing mocks he was making it to me there consistently. The last week in a half or so however, he's never made it back. If he were there, I'd take him no questions asked.Went

yeah people catch up later but you run the risk of losing a high pick if you draft early. I like drafting during all 3 phases.agreed. i think people are seeing an improvement in the oline at tennessee.I'd love to land Chris in 2nd.

I know it was only a mock but its interesting to see the movement of guys in drafting in early august compared to late august early september.
sometimes drafting early could be a gift or a curse, same with late
not a bad way to settle. drafted 3rd in a draft earlier and similiar.. i took foster,, and was able to get thomas in round 2 and johnson in round 3 and gore in round 4...The 1-4 picks seem to have the highest variance of who is available in the last couple of weeks. In my draft masters slow draft I'm in right now I went Charles at 2 and thought I would get one of MJD/CJ/Bush in the second. Nope, had to "settle" for DThomas and Roddy White instead (with Brees in the 4th)
Much like 1.01, I think RB/WR/WR is probably the best value play from 1.02 unless one of CJ or MJD falls to you and you're comfortable with them. No reason to reach on a RB like Miller when you could still get a starter at the 4th/5th turn
That's exactly who I got at 2/3 in a recent draft with the 2nd pick. Bush and Sproles both went before my pick at 23 and I wasn't keen on MJD. Ryan Mathews became my RB2 in the 4th.The 1-4 picks seem to have the highest variance of who is available in the last couple of weeks.

Yes that's crazy talk. Neither of them is going to be worth the point drop off at RB which is much much harder to get in the second roundAm I crazy to consider Jimmy Graham or Calvin Johnson with pick 2 in my FFPC league?
According to ADPs that I see, you would still have the opportunity to take 2 of these guys:Has anyone drafted or mocked going RB-RB-RB from the second spot? I'm in a 10 team league and based on ADP projections, it is possible to start out a draft with this:
1. D Martin
2. S Jax or R Bush
3. Sproles (we also get return yardage)
I love the idea of starting with these guys (using one in a flex), but not sure how badly that would affect the potential WR corp. Would having 3 really good PPR RB's be worth the trade off at WR?
No not at all. Both are high upside but at the same time arguably the two safest picks in the first round. I think due how much better the gap is between Graham and the next best TE you'll see him go as high as 1.2 in at least a few drafts and Calvin in some as well.Am I crazy to consider Jimmy Graham or Calvin Johnson with pick 2 in my FFPC league?
Went Charles, cj1k, roddy.
At 4.11 I went Cam. Brees and Rodgers were gone before my 3rd (roddy). Followed by Witten at 5.2.
I planned on going RB/WR in the first 5 rounds. Torrey Smith and Ryan Mathews were the next players taken at those positions, I just can't pass on either Cam or Witten for those guys.
My WRs aren't great but I stockpiled and should be ok.
That's not bad at all
See, this is why I think that WR/WR in rounds 4 and 5 is the way to go. What receivers were available when you picked in rounds 4 and 5?drafted from the 2 slot last night
qbs newton 4, dalton
rb, d. martin 1 , chris johnson 2 , darren sproles 3, ahmad bradshaw, bernard pierce
wr a. brown 5, t. austin, desean jackson, alshon jeffery
te, g. olsen, brandon pettigrew, heath miller (think he will put up good numbers when he plays
k akers
defense ravens .
i think the team turned out pretty good, my wide outs stink, but we just need to start 4 players between rbs and wrs each week so i can just start one of them to go with martin, johnson and sproles
I'll have to check when I get home I dont remember off hand.. I know the guy at the turn took Colston, and Bowe and Wayne were already gone before I picked at 4.11Long Ball Larry said:See, this is why I think that WR/WR in rounds 4 and 5 is the way to go.

I do think that Jackson is a good value there, but if you go Bowe/Colston/Wayne or similar in round 4 and then grab Romo or Wilson in the 7th, I think that your better off.
Personally, I would have waited on a QB and grabbed a WR there. Eli or Romo will put up similar numbers as Newton 4-5 rounds later.ebsteelers said:drafted from the 2 slot last night

Right cause I feel on a weekly basis my combo of 4 (Sproles, Johnson, Martin, and Brown) will be able to outscore most other teams combo of 4 whether its rb rb-wr-wr- or 3wrs and rb.I do think that his reasoning is fair though, based on his league's requirements and rules.Personally, I would have waited on a QB and grabbed a WR there.

after looking at it some more though I think I would agree I should of taken Colston at 4.11, and a TE (Vernon Davis) at 5.02
and in Round 6 I still could of got a QB (Luck, Romo, Kap) and 7.2 still could of got either (Jackson or Austin to back up Colston).
I was just really shocked that Newton was still there at that point and I thought the value of him at 4.11 really stood out.I do like the fact that Newton has some wheels though and if he gets some tds thru the ground it will negate the difference in touchdown passes compared to some of the other top qbs.
How many teams in the league?drafted last night from the 2 slot as well but NON-ppr, and NON-TE-mandatory, 1QB/2RB/3Rec/K/DST/no flex.
QB. Luck 7, Freeman 12
RB: Martin 1, C Johnson 2, Sproles 4, BJGE 8, DJHarris 14
WR: White 3, ABrown 5, Nicks 6, Jennings 9, Britt 10,
K: Tucker 13
DST: Pats 11
I'm happy. Stuck to my plan and drafted the 12TH QB off the board. Was estatic that C Johnson dropped to me in the 2nd.
Can't get over my addition to RBs and, even though we only start 2 RBs, I didn't like the backup RBs I was getting after the 5th round in my mocks.
Since I went 3rd RB "early", I intentional drafted a few high risk/reward WRs for my WR3 slot in Nicks/Britt/Jennings.
thoughts?
