Pick #6 (1 Viewer)

[puckalicious]

1.06 - LT, Dwill, Chris Johnson; would take Jackson if he's on the board though.2.07 - Best avail of Calvin/Andre/Wayne; Brees/Brady; Portis/Ronnie.3.06 - Liking KSmith/Grant here, so likely will skip RB in round 2.4.07 - Braylon/Ochocinco; or Rodgers/Rivers or Witten if they fall.5.06 - DD tells me I'd be stupid to pass up Gonzo here, but I'm really liking LJ or DeSean especially if I took a QB/TE early.6.07 - This is where things get ugly. I don't like the value of any RB/WR here which makes me not want to take a QB/TE early. Olsen?7.06 - Schaub/Palmer - probably only 1 of them drops to here, they are getting too much hype.

I have the #6 pick in my 12 team draft as well and I am almost dead on in agreement with your analysis. In the first round, I am really hoping Stephen Jackson falls to #6. Otherwise I really have no clue who to take. LT's age is really scaring me. Which RB are you favoring at that spot? As for round 2, I am hoping Andre Johnson or Calvin Johnson falls to me. But I haven't seen their ADP to know whether they do. I do think mid second round is too high for Reggie Wayne. Round 3 I am in agreement that Smith or Grant would be great picks. PIerre Thomas would be solid there as well. As for round 4, are there any decent running backs who might fall to that spot? Otherwise Edwards and Ochocinco would be my targets. I also intend to wait on quarterback like Palmer or SChaub in the mid rounds.

I'd be willing to take LT in the first as long as he is looking like he's back to form this preseason. If there are any signs of him being dinged up or nursing any minor injury I am jumping ship and hoping Jackson is there. I could live with Dwill or Chris Johnson (too bad I can't get him in the 7th round like last year).For the second round I'm confident 1 of those players will be there. I am really hoping it's one of the Johnsons.Third round is potentially a great spot for grabbing a very solid RB2, but I'm not liking the RBs available in the 4th round. I don't think Moreno will be there and you're kind of stuck with Lynch/Benson/Ward/LJ. Lynch is probably the best but you'll have to plan for the suspension.As for QB, I'm thinking the 'shark' move of Schaub and Palmer is not going to work out by the time I draft. They are moving too far up in ADP for me to do it now. I might have to hope for Manning in round 2, or take Rodgers in round 3. I am waffling on my QB plan bigtime.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

I'm in a 10 team league, so I'm hoping K. Smith or Grant falls to the 4th.

I am going WR in the 1st, as I don't think there's too much seperation between SJax or Gore,Jacobs, Portis....who will likely be there at 2.04.

In the 3rd I'm hoping either S. Smith or Boldin falls, but it will likely be R White...and I'm happy with that.

In the 4th I really K. Smith, Grant, or maybe Moreno.

After that I draft for value.

 

[Penguins]

You know - read this in another post about Brandon Jacobs - as crazy as it sounds - he may be the safest RB on the board.....you may have to deal with some health issues - but he probably is a lock to secure 12 TDs - the rest of the RBs available may not be able to do/repeat that....

So - I think I've narrowed it to Brandon Jacobs, Moss, or Brees/Brady - depending on what the strategy is....i.e. - RB, WR, QB - all have different draft plans altogether

 

[Eviloutsider]

Got the 6th pick and besides the first, this is the one I wanted. I get to pick one of my top 6 RB's (AP, Forte, MJD, SJax, LT, Turner) and on the flip around, I got a chance for a big time QB (Brady/Brees), a very good RB (Westbrook or Jacobs I have seen), or a stud WR barely off the first tier (Wayne or Calvin).

Love this pick and I have turned down offers to switch with three different places without much consideration.

In a 12 team league, with 6 points for passing TDs, I don't think you'll have Brady or Brees available to you when you pick in the 2nd round (at # 19). Can't see Calvin being there either. Wayne yes. Westbrook probably. Jacobs--it'll be close.

 

[Eviloutsider]

Mock I just did that I would be happy with...

1) Jackson

2) Jacobs (Brees went the pick before and Calvin three before)

3) S. Smith

4) B. Edwards

5) Warner

6) A. Bryant

7) Julius Jones (reach but I like him)

8) O. Daniels

9) Bradshaw

 

[Deuce'sWild]

I don't know if I can take Brady or Brees in the 2nd round even if they're there. It's a 6pt /td league....but I don't know.

Anyone else taking on of the big 3 Qbs in 2nd?

 

[Brassmonkey71]

I am thinking of going with the two best WR available at 1 and 2 then with picks 3 and 4 going with K. Moreno and McFadden. I am really high on these two running backs and most mocks I have done in 12 team PPR leagues they would not come back around to me at picks 5 or 6. What do you think?

 

[raven1911]

Seems to me last year in my draft RB went high in 1st round (of course), then everyone went WR in the 2nd and 3rd, it was split 50/50 RB and WR in the 4th rd. I figure if I want to stay ahead of the runs, so by choosing WR, RB, RB or WR, RB, WR then I can stay ahead of them. I also experiemented with choosing a top 3 TE (I got Gates in one of my Mocks in the 4th) to add to my WR strength. What do you all think of staying ahead of the positional runs in your draft? Good idea to plan around?

I pick # 5 in my draft. and I am giving STRONG consideration to taking Brady in the FIRST round. Sounds crazy I know, but by the time I pick again at # 20, Brees, Brady and likely Manning are gone. And if I wait til the 3rd round (in my league at least), Rodgers and Rivers are likely gone as well.

Brees or Brady, yes I'm all over that in the 2nd but in my 6pt pass td league I am 100% confident they won't be there. I may take Manning if he's there but not over 1 of the WR Johnsons if they're available.

 

[Penguins]

Raven1911 - I actually did something very similar to that last year. Historically - I have always been a RB hounder.....last year - here's my first 4 picks (ironically right back in the 6 spot):

R1 - SJAX

R2 - Larry Fitzgerald

R3 - Anquan Boldin

R4 - Brandon Marshall

---------------------------> not too shabby since we can use WRs as flex - but my next pick was my achillies heel all year long:

R5 - drum roll - Carson Palmer (looked pretty good at draft time)

I made some pretty decent picks for WR/RB in subsequent rounds - Chris Johnson, Dwayne Bowe, Donald Driver, Tim Hightower.....but these weren't enough to help my QB weakness

I took my backup QB - Vince Young in the 12th round.....

Chad Pennington off waivers ended up being my QB just about all year long - ended 8-8

Hence my dilemma as I am very gunshy on picking up QBs later unless I pick up 3....so I am back to being extremely stumped between:

Randy Moss

or

Tom Brady

or

Brandon Jacobs

These are probably unconventional 1st round draft picks - all three probably go against every single article I've read....but all three I think have a valid shot at supporting a good draft position - really depends on where you might be able to pick up value later in the draft. In other words, do you feel better about reaching for a RB that could get 600 yds and 4 tds with a high ceiling of say 900 yds and 9 TDs, or a WR that could get 500 yds and 4 TDs with a high ceiling of say 900 yds and 7 TDs, or a QB that could get 3000 yds and 15 TD/15 INT with a ceiling of 3500 and 20 TDs/10 INT?

I'm at a loss for what to do honestly as I believe there's a lot of decent depth that will be available for RB/WR in the mid rounds 4-7

Penguin,I love footballguys and they always say to get value, but all the articles I read are stating to wait on the studs, or wait on the good players and get value later in EVERY position? ie: Dodds article "Perfect Draft" What gives? If I wait at a certain position that means I should be able to get a stud at another position, right? I don't ever remember an article on positional runs and how to take advantage of them, which to me would make more sense. I have made the playoffs last two years using DD and going directly off what they say but I fall flat on my face in the playoffs both years. In saying that, I agree with you and am considering your exact position as well by going unconventional and taking a QB early. I took Schaub last year and was hit by the injury bug so I was fighting for a QB all year. With my league having 6pt TD's for QB's that hurt a lot. I don't understand why QB's aren't rated higher in a 6 pt/TD format. I am considering WR-RB-QB or WR-QB-RB this year. I gotta decide by Saturday as my draft is Sunday. AAAAGGHH!

 

[puckalicious]

I don't like any of the RBs available after round 4. They don't appear to be anything better than a RB3/4 to me since most are in a RBBC. Good WR depth though. I'm really thinking I need to get 2 RBs in the first 3 rounds.

 

[robb]

I have been following this discussion all summer now and think there is some merit in selecting a QB early in some leagues. In those with 4 points/TD...no way. My QB scoring for touchdowns is as follows:

Distance Scoring

1 - 3 yds 3

4 - 20 yds 5

21 - 50 yds 6

51 + yds 7

Shouldn't this scoring model cause one to take a QB early versus later?

It's not crazy at all. Look--two years ago the guy in my league who had Brady had a suck-a** team otherwise, and he made it all the way to the finals. A monster season (even 20% less than what he did in '07) will carry you far. And yes, at pick # 5 or 6 it seems early, but he won't be there at # 19 (or 20). Certainly not in my league. Anymore performances from Brady like the other night, and I may have to worry about him being there at # 5. LOL

I would agree, early. If this is your QB scoring then you have to take one early. That a lot of points! I guess you have to take into account the scoring style of the other positions as well. If they are similar then it might cancel this scoring out. You essentially are getting 1 pt per yard for a QB, right?My scoring is 1pt/25 yards passing but 6pts/TD and bonuses for long TD passes and games over 300 yards. In that type of format I am considering taking a QB early.

I believe the scoring robb posted is only for passing TDs, meaning a 3yd TD is only worth 3pts... not sure what his yardage scoring is. In my 6pt all TD league I would NOT take a QB at pick #6, which is a more generous scoring system than above. I will be looking for Brees/Brady/Manning to fall the 19th pick though.

Manning MAYBE, but no way Brady or Brees falls to 19 (at least not in my league). I like Manning this year, although, judging by last night, the O line could be an issue.

That is not bad but I don't like the depth. Your startes are nice though!

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I'm guessing Portis doesn't fall to 3.6 in non-PPR leagues.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

Well I had my draft this weekend, and here's how it went.

1. Moss (Fitz was available but I realy like Moss this year)

2. Westbrook (kind of a gamble but I couldn't pass him up)

3. Gore (there was a HUGE WR run in the late 2nd early 3rd rd...and Brees, Brady and Manning also went. I was SHOCKED)

4. Pierre Thomas (didn't want him here, but couldn't pass it up)

5. Ochocinco (love this pick)

6. Eddie Royal (had Edwards and Royal on the board, I like Edwards upside but I think Royal is the safer play here. He should see a ton of balls)

7. McCoy (didn't want to see him go to another owner so I took him a little early)

8. Schaub

9. Daniels (Carlson and Daniels were the only two TEs left with any value, as there was a big run in the 7th-8th)

10. F. Jones

11. D. Mason

12. Hasselbech (had the choice of Garrard or Hasselbech, and I like Hass's track record)

13. S. Smith (NYG)

14. Hicks (the idea was to secure 2/3 NYG wrs in hopes to hit on the one Eli likes, Hixon was gone)

15. Coffee (now have handuffed Gore and Westbrook both)

16. Z. Miller

17. NYJ DEF

18. K. Brown

I was very happy with this draft. The guys in my league think my team sucks...I'm scratching my head on that one.

QB: Schaub, Hass

RB: Westy, Gore, P. Thomas, McCoy, Coffee, Felix Jones

WR: R. Moss, Ochocinco, Royal, S. Smith, Nicks, D. Mason

TE: Daniels, Z. Miller

DEF: Jets

K: K. Brown

Just thought I'd share since I started this thread. Anywhere you think I went wrong? I'm catching a lot crap from league mates...not sure why, I think I'm solid.

 

[Penguins]

Deuce's Wild -

Actually - I think that is a very strong team! I like the pairing of Schaub and Hass - between those two you should be good.

RBs - If you start two - you are set with depth and upside

WRs - if you start two - you are set with depth and upside

TE - i like

Def & K - I like

I think overall very solid!

ETA: Can you share the whole draft so that we can get an idea of which players were available when?

 

[Brassmonkey71]

We do start 2 RB, but 3 WR and I am weak at WR...but I'm hoping Moss can carry the load. I'm a little higher on Ochocinco and Royal than most probably. I think Royal will get a ton of looks from Orton. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A 10 TEAM LEAGUE. Non PPRThanks for the feedback....Just wanted to add, I think what learned from this the most was, if you take a WR in the first round, it forces others to start thinking about them early. The #7 owner took Fitz, and by then early 2nd Andre and Calvin went. Then owners started getting really nervous about nobody being there, which caused the RBs to fall like crazy. No way would I take a RB in the first round from the 6th-12th rd this year, but that's just me.At one point in this draft, I made the comment that there were as many WRs gone as RBs....and one owner replied "you started this crap".I love being able to take contol in a draft and forcing owners into things they don't want to do. It's like taking your backup QB while another owner who is the only one left without a QB gets stuck with Delhomme because other owners start thinking backup QB too.

 

[GDogg]

Do either of you mind telling me when Percy Harvin and LeSean McCoy went (I see Deuce's Wild selected McCoy - Harvin?

Which were the top 3 RBs available at your 1st Round selection? Which spot did Maurice Drew get taken?

I believe Harvin went in the 11th round.ADP, MJD, Turner, Forte, LT went with the 1st 5 picks.

Thanks. I like the idea of going WR in the 1st this year from the #5 spot on. I have Fitzgerald and Moss 1a and 1b, respectively, so I really like that pick.I, too, am high on both Ochocinco and Royal. In fact, unless you have an odd scoring system, I really like your team. You have solid starters across the board and at your 3rd, 4th, and 5th RB/WR, you have guys with upside, such as McCoy.I'm not sure why your leaguemates are down on your team.

Great!At your pick, I'd have had Jackson, Fitz and Moss as the top 3 guys in any order, really. So, not like you really should care, but I like the Moss pick.

Well, considering Harvin went in the 11th in Deuce's draft, I guess the hype train hasn't gotten too out of control yet. My draft (from the 5 spot) is tomorrow night, so I'm trying to get a feel for when McCoy and Harvin might be coming off the board, based off recent FBG drafts.Thanks.

Do either of you mind telling me when Percy Harvin and LeSean McCoy went (I see Deuce's Wild selected McCoy - Harvin?Which were the top 3 RBs available at your 1st Round selection? Which spot did Maurice Drew get taken?

I believe Harvin went in the 11th round.ADP, MJD, Turner, Forte, LT went with the 1st 5 picks.

Great!At your pick, I'd have had Jackson, Fitz and Moss as the top 3 guys in any order, really. So, not like you really should care, but I like the Moss pick.

I actually have Westbrook, Gore and Jacobs rated above S Jax. I know it's not a popular ranking, but I because of that I was comfortable taking a WR and hoping of those guys came back to me in the 2nd. Which they did, and then some!

I would go into battle with this team! Megatron in 2nd a steal. I would have taken another RB instead of T. Jones in the 6th, was Rice, Benson, Ward available? SD def a good pick. Brady goes down it will suck to only have the Sage to go with, Good back up to Jones with Washington.Great draft, just a few tweeks needed, IMO.

benson and rice were there, i loved rice, have him in my dynasty squad and i still love him in redraft, i took t jones knowing ray would fall to me in the 7, but then knowshon and double R fell to me, and i RR had bye week conflicts with my starters, and i think moreno was a better pick anyway...we'll see

OK guys, I had my draft last night. Unfortunately I could not be there for my draft so I left instructions for my friend and commish to pick my team for me. I tended to agree with DeucesWild in the picks and went WR, WR, RB. I wanted to avoid positional runs and I know my league typically hoards RBs the first two rounds so I decided to do WR instead. 12 team redraft, non PPR all TD's 6 pts. Here is how it went by round....

Fitz

Steve Smith

Ronnie Brown

Darren McFadden

Knowshon Moreno

Jay Cutler

Cedric Benson

Ravens

Zack Miller

Garrard

Josh Morgan

Justin Gage

Kaeding

K. Faulk

Steve Smith NYG

Overall I am not too unhappy. The late picks I know I could have done better if I was there, but overall I am pretty happy. I am hoping this might help others with #6 pick in deciding if they want to go WR first. Your thoughts?

it looks we had a bunch of the same decisions to make (granted you weren't there) but i ended with ronnie brown, knowshon, morgan, steve smith(nyg) as well, passed on fitz in lieu of brady and gambled on ochocinco coming back this year instead as my WR #2 where you had to go with Cutler...over all though i'd say we had a fairly similiar draft, has anyone put their squads into the "RATE MY TEAM" app to see what the results were? I was pretty happy with mine 90% chance of playoffs with good management, 74% with poor management, i'll take that every day of the week, especially on sundays I think i like the idea of passing on a K in the draft to take that one extra gamble in the late rounds, gives me the whole preseason to let someone either pan out or not, and drop whatever doesnt work for the K last minute

Looks very solid. Proves again that you can get solid RB production late. Brown, Smith, Moreno should all be solid...and TJ will be a great RB3/4.Only weakness looks to be WR3...but with CJ4 and Ocho you don't need much. Would like to see someone go RB, RB in their real draft and see how it compares to ours.

"I think i like the idea of passing on a K in the draft to take that one extra gamble in the late rounds, gives me the whole preseason to let someone either pan out or not, and drop whatever doesnt work for the K last minute"

This is fine if your League allows waiver pick ups up to and including the first game. My League doesn't allow until after the first game so we really need to have a kicker on board in the draft. Bummer...

I like this draft a lot, but it will not be possible in my local Detroit league to get CJ in the 2nd or KSmith in the 4th. Also I am leaning more towards RB in the first (LT), and QB in the 3rd (Rodgers). I would like this combo better than Brady/Brown.

thanks for the positive feeback, this was the first year i used the DD, i had only practiced with it a few times in mocks, and still didnt really use it's full potential, i am still happy with the results, i think i have a very solid base, i just need a few of my backups to have themselves a season and i can trade around for a bit more WR help which i would like, i actually didnt pay attention to the DD for pick 1, just had my heart set on brady, draft was funny i took brady and then just started buzzing around about the dropoff at QB after the 5th or 6th QB and they started a run on QBs, this was my whole strategy, secure a top 3 QB and watch the value fall while everyone changed their draft strategiesif anything can be said about the 6-8 picks, i think you can really change everyone in the rooms draft strategy, picking a QB here changed the patterns, i had at least 3 people tell me that i threw off their whole strategy, and while people scrambled to adapt i filled out my roster, the only thing i'm rethinking now is the moreno > RRice pick, i might be looking to make that trade post draft, i'm a rutgers guy so i wanna root for ray ray anyway

Looks like he's going to need another backup qb

 

[steelcityman]

I have the 8th pick, and even though the waters might be a little less deep, they are as dirty.

In my league, PPR, 3 year keeper cycle just stating, I can see me having to pick from Slaton, DeAng, LT or SJax, maybe Fitz, Andre, Calvin...I cant convince myself of who is the best, however Slaton is falling down the list .

If I had to pick today, DeAng, SJax, then Fitz, then Andre.

My plan being which ever position I take in Rd 1(RB/WR) take the opposite in Rd 2, then get another of each in 3-4.

Hopefully my QB will be there in 5.

We do IDP, so I would like to get Willis in 6, but I doubt he is around then.

Its tough this year, even the #2 overall pick is murky.
