That Streater is concussed and on the sidelines until the fog clears.

Don't understand how Bush made it that far. I like it though

 

[Bobcat10]

How are the drafts coming?

Anyone jump back in on Foster now that he's feeling refreshed?

 

[FUBAR]

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?

According to ADPs that I see, you would still have the opportunity to take 2 of these guys:

Colston

Bowe

Welker

Wayne

Amendola

and a slight chance at VJax.

That's actually kind of interesting to me. Pair Colston and Bowe and get the safety of Colston with the upside of Bowe (as discussed in the Bowe v. Colston v. Wayne thread).

I just took Rb-rb-rb at the 1 spot, walked away with Peterson, sjax, cjohnson. happy with that, vjax at 4 and could have had colston but sort of reached for gronk instead. Receivers ended up being vjax, ssmith, gordon/t.austin with Ryan at qb I'm feeling pretty good about this team even with the risk of 3rb, gronk and gordon

I think he's the only play at number 2 at this point. I understand why people were dropping him, but unless there is any bad news between now and my draft, I will take him at 2. Personally I don't think it's any more risky than taking any of the other backs, and I think he definitely has the highest upside.

Yep, as the 10th QB. RG3, Kaep, Luck and Brady went in the 5th. I was the last team to take a QB.

Backups started in the 9th: Wilson, Romo, then I took Vick in the 11th.

One advantage of going RB-RB-RB is you don't have to take another one unless there's value. I don't have any other backs on my roster.

 

[jurb26]

I just drafted 2 this past weekend in a keeper league. I just took over the team this year, so it was pretty rough. Not a single player on the roster was worthy of keeping so I had to make a trade prior to get my hands on something of value. The trade; I gave up pick 3.01 and received pick 6.01, AJ Green (for 4th rd pick) and Sea D (for 14th rd pick).

A couple of other notes; no players drafted in rounds 1 or 2 can be kept and no player can be kept more than 2 years. PPR scoring with TEs getting 1.5 PPR. List of keepers;

T. Rich

Spiller

Luck

Vereen

Cobb

Newton

Julio

R. Wilson

Martin

A. Roberts

Amendola

Hilton

Ridley

A. Brown

Graham

Stafford

Peyton

L. Miller

RG3

D. Wilson

Spores

Morris

Here's the team;

Dalton, Andy CIN QB

Smith, Alex KCC QB

Bradshaw, Ahmad IND RB

Ingram, Mark NOS RB

Ivory, Chris NYJ RB

Murray, DeMarco DAL RB

Thomas, Pierre NOS RB

Green, A.J. CIN WR

Heyward-Bey, Darrius IND WR

Johnson, Calvin DET WR

Kerley, Jeremy NYJ WR

Moore, Denarius OAK WR

Patterson, Cordarrelle MIN WR

Smith, Steve CAR WR

Allen, Dwayne IND TE

Davis, Fred WAS TE

Ertz, Zach PHI TE

Walker, Delanie TEN TE

Bullock, Randy HOU PK

Seahawks, Seattle SEA Def

So with Green already in the stable I decided to take Calvin at 2 overall. It's a risk, big risk seeing I had to wait a long time for a RB and a lot of good ones were already taken. This was easily the hardest decision of the draft for me. It was ether him or Charles and Calvin graded out higher in VBD. I waited for ever to take my first QB, round 9 and TE, round 11. I spent the greater portion of picks 5 thru 11 on RBs. In the end, I got the QBs I wanted all along in Dalton/Smith combo. They have a great combined schedule for QBBC this year and I had to try my best to sure up RB given the trade and picking Calvin 2. I took Murray in the 2nd when the only viable options at RB were him and DMAC. Sad but true. Even Lacy went at the turn before my 2nd pick to a guy who, thanks to his Martin keeper has a stable of Petterson, Martin and Lacy at RB!

He went 80th (7.08) in my main league to the Brees owner.

It's been mentioned before, but in leagues smaller than 14 teams which start 1 QB, there is no reason to take a QB early. Maybe if Brees/Rodgers fall to the 3rd, they'd be worth taking.

 

[Rick James]

I drafted #2 on Sunday in a 15-team PPR, keep one player league. standard lineup requirements-- 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, K, DEF

1.02- Lesean McCoy- AP was taken #1, and Charles/Spiller/Lynch/Martin were all keepers, Doug Martin being my keeper. So I knew going into the draft I really wanted a top 3 or 4 pick so I could pair a stud RB with Martin and have a pretty awesome RB corps. I took McCoy over Ray Rice and Richardson because I just have a feeling that he's going to have a huge year. Obviously I would have been happy with Ray Rice too.

2.14- David Wilson- this may seem early, but remember this is a 15-teamer, so this pick is #29 overall, or the equivalent of 3.05 in a 12-team draft, which is pretty close to where he's being taken. RBs were flying off the board too. I had my fingers crossed that Forte or Bush would fall to me, but that was a pipe dream. Still, knowing that David Wilson is NOT my RB2, and instead a Flex play...I'm pretty happy with it. Roddy White was sniped just before my pick, or I probably would have taken him.

3.02- Victor Cruz- not worried about the heel. Had my eye on Roddy in round two, but I'll take Cruz here. I really wanted Fitzgerald this year but I'm picking too early in the draft to have him fall to me. Oh well.

4.14- Doug Martin (KEEPER from last year's draft)- ace in the hole. Starting RBs are Martin and McCoy, with David Wilson at Flex.

5.02- Antonio Brown- about a round too early, but I don't care because he was not going to be there by the time I picked again.

6.14- Ronnie Hillman- this pick was probably unneccesary, with the strength of my RBs already, but I knew I could get Vick with my next pick because everyone already had a QB....probably should have taken a TE or another WR here I guess, but I don't know.

7.02- Michael Vick- If I can't get Tony Romo, my backup plan is a combo of Vick and Eli/Cutler/Bradford/etc.

8.14- Vincent Brown

9.02- Dwayne Allen

10.14- Sam Bradford

11.02- Joique Bell

12.14- Brian Hartline

13.14- defense

14.14- kicker

Here's my starting lineup:

QB- Mike Vick

RB- Doug Martin, Lesean McCoy

WR- Victor Cruz, Antonio Brown

Flex- David Wilson

TE- Dwayne Allen

K- who cares

DEF- who cares

He went 80th (7.08) in my main league to the Brees owner.

Huh, ADP lists that I've seen have him as QB6 and going in the 4th.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

This is useful, have a 2nd pick approaching.

Personally I think Martin is the answer but almost any of the other 3-4 names being mentioned are defensible.

The real question is who is available at the end of the 2nd round and then whether to go RB/RB/WR or RB/WR/WR. I suppose that will vary depending on the league.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Anyone consider Calvin?

 

[terpdgo]

Anyone consider Calvin?

I have but that really gets you weak at RB. I have 2 in a 1/2 point PPR if it was 1 point PPR i may consider.

I have my draft tonight and I think I am taking Martin. Not sure why I am having such a hard time with #2. I want to go Foster but just don't trust it. I plan on going RB/WR/RB/WR and QB in 5th 6th turn if a good play is there. I do love being at the turn.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I hear you. I just mocked this and ended up with this:

QB: Newton (4), Palmer (14)

RB CJohnson (3), LMiller (5), DWill (7), Mathews (8), Ingram (11)

WR Calvin (1) Marshall (2), DeseanJackson (6), Boldin (9), Stevie Johnson (10)

TE Gates (12)

DEF TB (13)

K Henery (15)

Not bad, but not too excited about it. The other participants were all pretty reasonable, for once, and I'd say that at least 6 or 7 have stronger starting lineups, though my depth (particularly at RB) was better.

I actually wanted Graham at 22, but he got taken at 21.

 

[boots11234]

I must be in a guppy league. 10 team must start TE. I drafted 2nd. Got Charles, graham, bush, s Jax in that order. Feeling real good right now.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Steven Jackson at 39 is completely insane.
