Picking 6 out of 12 in redraft (1 Viewer)

[suspected]

Manning is falling to 2.07 in many drafts. You need to think about whether you'd take him then and mock a few of scenarios with him on your team.

 

[bbuster]

I have the 6th pick in one of the Omega leagues at Phenoms this year and I'm not liking it at all. It is a no flex/no trade ppr league. I've done several mocks with DD and haven't been too happy with my options. I'm hoping my draft will go more like it is for some of the posters in here. DD just hasn't seemed like it is representative of how the draft will actually go. I'm seeing LJ falling to me and Bush there when my second pick comes...not likely. The problem is, even if it went exactly like that, the top WR's are gone and the value is at RB. We only start 2 and we can't grab em and trade em.

 

[Diamond One]

I'm in the same boat...6th pick in 12 team redraft PPR.Trying to figure out the RB dropoff in the 2nd round is tricky. I'd love to go ahead and get my 2nd RB, but there's a ton of WR at that spot to choose from.

I hear that... Problem is with so few feature backs not in a RBBC, it's going to be very hard not to go RB / RB with the first two picks at spot 6...

I had my draft today in the Omega league. The 6th pick wasn't quite as horrifying as I expected, but like I did expect, it went nothing like the mocks on DD. I'm happy to have this one under my belt since I drew the 6 spot in another phenoms league.WR's weren't flying off the board as early as they were last year. People seemed content to keep grabbing RB's with a couple of WR's and Manning thrown in before my 2nd pick.(Manning went at 1.09) Here's what I got with my 6 spot.Edit to add 12 team redraft NO Flex NO Trades PPR for WR/TE's .5PPR for RB 5pts for passing TD's7.06 QB Rivers--was targeting Romo with this pick, but he went at 7.110.07 QB E. Manning--DD pick and felt a run on back up QB's coming1.06 RB W. Parker5.06 RB J. Lewis--maybe a reach, but wanted someone not in a RBBC6.07 RB D. Foster--starter until he breaks down8.07 RB T. Bell15.06 RB B. Leonard--looked pretty good playing for Jackson2.06 WR T. Holt3.06 WR J. Walker4.07 WR A. Johnson--Schaub looking much better than Carr11.06 WR E. Kennison13.06 WR B. Wade17.06 WR C. Wilson9.06 TE J. Witten14.07 TE H. Miller12.07 DST DenverPK Graham--fell to me at 16.07PK Folk--only took him so I wouldn't have to go without a K during bye...didn't really want to drop Graham and I took Folk with last pick.Hope this gives you some idea of how things are playing out. Every draft is obviously different. If you want to see the whole draft, it is at myfantasyleague.com the league is Omega 10 #6Good Luck!

The problem Im seeing with the 6th pick is that there is absolutely no value in whatever's available with the 2nd round pick. Anybody you get in the middle of the 2nd round you can get an equally similar player in the end of the 2nd round. Therefore, I am trying to trade down in the 2nd round and trade up in the 3rd round (basically swap my 2nd & 3rd rounders with the #1 slot). This way I can still get a Portis/Benson/James in the late 2nd round and than get Gates (who IMO is a GREAT value) in the 3rd round. If I stay put where I am in the 3rd round I risk losing Gates. In the 4th round Im praying for Evans but wouldnt mind Driver as my WR1

A team of:

QB- McNabb (5th)

RB- Addai (1st)

RB- Benson/Portis (2nd)

WR- Evans/Driver (4th)

WR- Galloway (6th)

TE- Gates (3rd)

wouldnt be bad IMO. Thoughts?

 

[nyquil32]

I have 6th pick in a 10 team redraft, .5 ppr, and 2 flex spots.

Using the Draft Dominator, Reggie Bush ranks 4th -- so am I crazy to look at him at 6?

I'm not sure Driver will make it to you in rd. 4 and I'm not crazy about the lack of rb depth that team offers.I'm having the same problem figuring out the 2nd round. I don't like the RB drop-off after McGahee. And taking a WR in the 2nd doesn't leave much for RB2 in the 3rd. Is A Green a workable RB2 if we do WR in both 2nd and 3rd rounds?

Driver & Evans ADP is in the 4th round although a few picks before me so yes I would be sweating it out a bit. As far as RBs, there's tons of starting RBs this year for depth available in round 7 (JJones, Bell, Taylor, Taylor, Jackson, Jordan, Foster). As far as your scenarios, drafting a Holt,Wayne, Green combo would score (according to my projections) 563 pts. While a combo of say Benson, Wayne, Driver or RegBrown would score 554. Hmm interesting.Anyway, I think the middle of the 2nd round is death this year and thats why I traded down. There will still be good players available at the end of round 2 and now I have my pick of the litter at the top of round 3 (which I am leaning towards Gates).

I think you can get a decent WR in the 4th even if both of those are gone. The drafts I looked at from the past weekend, though, suggest some of those RBs are more like 6th/early 7th round than where we'll pick. Jackson may start to move up now with more talk of him as a starter. Of course, however you think the draft will go, ther are always zigs and zags....

True. Well by me trading down in the 2nd round not only was I able to move up in the 3rd round but I also moved up in the 7th round.

 

[tamales]

True. Im just hoping I didnt overthink this situation by trading down. If I can go Addai, Portis or Benson, Gates, Evans or Driver in the first 4 rounds Ill be VERY happy and can figure out the rest on the fly.

 

[mizeners]

This will be the first time drafting from #6 and I can't decide on how to draft. I like to have a game plan but there seems to be so many ways to go. I would like to get Gates in the 3rd, but I don't think he will be there. I've run several mock drafts in DD and the best scenarios seem to be RB-WR-Gates or RB-RB-Gates, or RB-RB-WR-RB-WR-WR.

I hope to get Westbrook, Addai, or Parker, possibly Bush in PPR, but am hesitant to take him at RB1. Round 2, if a RB that should be in round 1 falls or a top tier WR. 3rd round, would love Gates, but I think I will take TJ, Evans, or Walker. 4th, AGreen or Peterson??? Look to have 3 RBs and 3 WRs then target Ben, TE, or top IDP (if you can believe it) in 7, 8, and 9th rounds.

My draft is tomorrow night so any more insight or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

[coachjim]

Trade down a couple spots and grab willie parker.

Are you out of your mind. Why would FWP be available after the 6th pick. If he is then you are playing in a really funny league.

 

[wolfeman]

I am having difficulty between 3 players @6 in RD1. RD1 is not supposed to be this hard, right?

I am favoring Addai, I like Westy, he is about 80-85% of the offense, or FWP. I have been reading what people are saying about FWP on the site and I am buying what they are selling. He will be in on 3rd and GL situatioins.

should I with Addai,Westy, or FWP

Is it PPR or Non.

 

[monkeysee]

I haven't seen enough of these threads.

If I had the 6 of 12 I would consider jumping off a cliff and then use my better judgement and take the BPA for the next few rounds.

looks like many of us are struggling with the addai-parker-westbrook tier ---though addai may easily go at #5. having parker and westbrook on the sam team last year, i found westbrook more consistent week-to-week, but had to deal with the all of the gts's for him, plus he was pulled for week 17 and my leagues are still playing then.

Hey MA. I was tamales above (suspended for a week) Anyway, I am praying that the #5 team doesnt take Addai because then Id be stuck between Alexander and Parker and I am just not sure who Id take. Id probably take Alexander. But if the #5 takes Alexander than I am definitely taking Addai.

Same boat...Addai is falling between 4-7 in most drafts where 5 seems to be having the real choice to take him. PPR league...I'm really going to have to consider Westbrook although injury fears scare the crap outta me. I don't like Bush having to share anything with another RB in the 2nd-3rd round of the draft. Westbrook's is looking appealing IF Addai is gone since I can grab his backup way late in the draft. Anyone know who Westbrook's true backup is?

hi shady! yes, i came back here to add that the tier is more likely to be parker-alexander-westbrook. my coffee hadn't kicked in! my 6th pick is in a .5pt.rec league, so that hurts him a little, but i would still consider him. also, when i had westbrook last year, he was my 2nd pick, which lessened the "not playing" risk more than if taken as rb1.welcome back, shady! yes, i came back here to add that the tier is more likely to be parker-alexander-westbrook. my coffee hadn't kicked in! my 6th pick is in a .5pt.rec league, so that hurts him a little, but i would still consider him. also, when i had westbrook last year, he was my 2nd pick, which lessened the "not playing" risk more than if taken as rb1.and this discussion doesn't reallybelong here, but looking back at our earlier exchange, we need to see the status of driver's ankle. i also have been looking at him because he goes after WRs he shouldn't which allows waiting a little longer to take a WR. If he misses time.

Yep that definitely hurts my hopes of grabbing my WR1 in the 4th round. One less WR to fall to me cant be a good thing.

 

[matuski]

2 PPR - 10 pt TDs - 1 pt/5yds rush/rec - 7 pt pass TD - 1 pt/10 yards passing - 1 pt per completion, -1 per incomplete

I am thinking Bush, Westy, Addai, Manning, Parker - in that order. I would say Westy hands down if I thought he would play 16 full games, I see Bush going nowhere but up (plus we get pts for return yards), I love Addai but don't have any real confidence in accurately projecting him, hate Parker personally but would have to consider, love Manning but not 1st round.

I am having zero takers on switching draft picks - so here I am.

 

[kstockwell]

I had my draft last night. Just thought I would post my team as it might help you out.

1 QB/2 RB/ 2 WR/ 1 TE/ 1 PK/ 1 D -- PPR, PTD 4, int -2, all other td's 6, bonus at 100/300

1.06 Addai

2.07 McGahee (was hoping for Benson but was picked at 2.06. McGahee has a nice running schedule).

3.06 Housh

4.07 Green -- locked down my RB's - good insurance (last year I lost KJones and it hurt!)

5.06 Walker - Nice value!

6.07 BJackson -- not a great pick but what the hell

7.06 VDavis

8.07 BigBen

9.06 LJ Smith - in case VDavis crashes and burn. Trade bait...

10.7 DHenderson

11.6 Vikings - using the Def by committee

12.7 Garcia

13.6 Boston

14.7 Akers

15.6 Titans

All in all, not bad but not all world. QB's aren't great but in my settup, there isn't much seperation from QB3-12 in terms of points. Drafting in the 6 isn't great but you have to be flexible and willing to either start a run or ignore it completely.

 

[tommy300]

Just had my draft from the 6 spot. Not crazy about a couple of my picks but had to draft value when possible. 12 teams, PPR, QB, 2RB, 2WR, TE, 1 flex(RB/WR/TE), K, Def. Just missed out on a couple of players I really wanted. 4 FBG's, a couple good drafters, and a couple fishy drafters.

1st - R.Bush (almost Addai, basically flipped a coin in my head, VDB said Bush)

2nd - Harrison

3rd - A.Peterson (last RB I really wanted, post draft Fitz/Housh would have been a better pick)

4th - C.Williams

5th - A.Green (4 RB's in the first 5, passed on a couple decent players, almost took Edwards)

6th - J.Crotchey

7th - Mrk Clayton (talk of his injury pre-draft let him fall to here)

8th - J.Witten

9th - B.Roth

10th - J.Cutler

11th - E.Kennison (got laughs, almost from myself)

12th - R.Curry

13th - Caro def

14th - Pennington (had to get a 3rd QB, Roth/Cutler same bye)

15th - Gostkowski

16th - Z.Miller

17th - P.Crayton

18th - Ten def (good match-up w/Caro)

Like my team, don't love it:

Roth, Cutler, Pennington

Bush, A.Peterson, C.Williams, A.Green (none of their back-ups, missed them all)

Harrison, Cotchery, Clayton, Kennison, Curry, Crayton

Witten, Z.Miller

Gos

Caro, Ten

Might help some people?? Not a rate my draft but do you like my team from the 6 spot?

 

[Ariakis]

I picked 6th in a 12 teamer going on now we're up to the start of the 5th round. Parker went 5th so I took Addai. In Round 2 since you start 1 RB, 3 WR, and 1 UTIL I figured WR was the value play. I passed on Edge, McGahee, TJones etc for the 1st WR Steve Smith. Manning was gone. Then in Round 3 I passed on Gates and the next tier of RB's for Holt. In Round 4 I passed on RB's again figuring ADP would be on my side and took Andre Johnson. So far that started a WR run and I'm confident a RB will get back to me I would have taken in Round 4. In Round 5-6 I'll probably snag QB and TE unless there's a run which pushes me back to RB/WR depth and it's probably too early for a DT.

http://football30.myfantasyleague.com/2007...=11813&O=17

 

[Ariakis]

Ahman in round 6 ... will focus on QB/TE on the next two rounds unless VBD dictates RB/WR depth. I'll take my chances with Addai, AGreen, Steve Smith, Holt, and Andre Johnson and so far I'm happy with my draft. I would have loved Parker over Addai, Wayne over Holt, and maybe Housh over Andre Johnson but overall no major complaints as they all went just before my picks. Unless you are in a format that starts more RB's than WR's then I would strongly recommend going RB-WR-WR-WR-RB from this draft slot.

 

[JimboJim]

Drafted yesterday from the six spot. 12 team league, no-PPR, 3 pt passing TDs and no negative for Ints. Lineup is QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/TE/K/D

1.06 - Addai (LJ, Alexander, Jackson, LT & Gore went 1-5)

2.07 - Steve Smith (first WR off the board; best available RBs were Jacobs, Portis & Peterson)

3.06 - Adrian Peterson (tough call between Portis & Peterson, but went for the "upside" guy IMO)

4.07 - Edge James (best value left, WRs were flying off the board and Palmer, Brady, Manning, & Brees were all gone)

5.06 - Marc Bulger (tossup between Bulger and Braylon Edwards, but wanted a QB with high-yardage upside)

6.07 - Braylon Edwards (got lucky he fell another round)

7.06 - Santana Moss (BPA)

8.07 - Kellen Winslow

9.06 - Jerrious Norwood

10.07 - Ben Roeth...

11.06 - DJ Hackett

12.07 - Packers D

13.06 - Stover

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Jimbo - Lucky you having Addai drop

--. I took Parker 1st.

-- Then like you saw more value in doing WR-RB for rounds 2-3 (Harrison, Brown).

-- Hoped for Bulger in round 4, but got Brees after Bulger and Brady taken; McNabb went after but still round 4

-- fifth,with the rb's starting to get thin, i grabbed lewis; i like him more than many

Gates was available in the 3rd. I had Fitzgerald and Gates almost even and was hoping Gates would come back around which didn't happen.

 

[merchant]

LHUCKS, we had pretty similar drafts in some respects. I obsessed far too much over my 6th pick, because I wanted RB in the 2nd and wasn't thrilled with the options I figured I'd have. I could have gotten Steve Smith there, so I'm not sure how I feel about the choice. Only start two RBs but I don't like scrambling for depth when I can draft quality (I hope) starters. Hopefully this gives all you other 6-spot drafters some more perspective

Had some trouble with this draft. Since it's rb/wr flex, RBs go extremely quickly. Portis was taken in the 2nd round right before me.

Ahman Green went at 3.07; guys like A Peterson (Min) and Marshawn went at the turn (2.12 and 3.01.)

I mean I was tempted to go RB/WR/WR but at the rate the RBs were going I wouldn't have anyone at all.

Any suggestions?

We have very very small rosters so I usually like to roll the dice on a qb later on in the season. We use IDP altho it is normally insignificant.

Couldn't really complain. I feel like I am solid @ RB & REC. I am just hoping that cutler doesn't turn out to be a bust...

Whatever you do, don't take P. Manning in the second. He fell to me in my PPR league, & I fell for it. I did not feel comfortable for the rest of the draft. Felt like I was wishing and hoping as I watched other teams fill out, while not feeling great about mine. ended up with..

Bush

P. Manning

A. Boldin

Caddy

L. Coles

D. Jackson

J. Jones

Trade down a couple spots and grab willie parker.

Are you out of your mind. Why would FWP be available after the 6th pick. If he is then you are playing in a really funny league.

parker went 2.02 in my 12 man redraft.....all cause of 1 guy who is freakin clueless and took ROTHELISBERGER with his first pick ( 1.10 ). So now the 11th pick team has Maroney, Parker, Gates. I pooped thinking he might fall back to me at 2.07 but was sadden 11th team now has a solid squad because he got so lucky ( Roy Williams, Andre Johnson, Cutler, V.Jackson, Bears D ). That 10th team taking big ben just set up the 11th team so badly it is sick.Yes we have one owner who is clueless and just a body filler but still pulls out wins ( luck ). I seriously want a new owner next year, this is the 2nd time he didt finish the draft cause he was too drunkI went out the 6th spot about 2-3 weeks ago. 1. Gore2. Tom Jones3. Owens4. Boldin5. Norwood6. Kitna7. Edwards8. Betts9. Calvin10. Olsen ( yea big run on TEs lol ) 11. Smith (QB sf )12. Turner ( why not ) 13. Desmond Clark14. Stover15. AZ DSo I am looking at

qb: kitnarb: gore, tom joneswr: boldin, owenste: up in the airk : stoverd : waiver wire one

for opening day1qb 2rb 2wr 1te 1k 1d non ppr. I won't go into a lengthy post on why i took some of the later cats but it invovled basically runs on positions. If you are out the 6 spot you more then likely know what I mean then.Overall i don't like the 6th spot this year. You usually get stuck on the ### end of the position runs which will leave you reaching for something else. Don't really get a top 5 of anything unless you reach far. ( i lucked out kinda )

Drafted out of the 6th spot in a 12 teamer last night, I'd say the league is pretty balanced with some good fantasy football managers and a couple of guppies. There was a QB run early in the draft and a couple of people panicked and reached for a QB. I really like my team though, except for the QB's. I didn't want to reach on a QB and had a couple of guys taken one or two picks before me so I ended up just waiting and gambling on Roethlisberger and Alex Smith.

I actually like this team. You have the best QB availalbe. It is a PPR league, so Bush is solid and I think he is going to out-perform his ADP. I'm not that high on Caddy but having Jones to back him up bolsters that #2 RB spot. Its a good team with a lot of upside. Caddy could stay healthy, Jones will surely outperform his ADP (IMO).

 

[wolfeman]

I see no problem with taking Peyton in the 2nd. he is the top QB. I would take him there too.

Just had my draft and Im pretty damn happy. Drafted out of the 6 hole. Let me know what you think:

QB- Kitna (7), Roethlisberger (11)

RB- Addai (1), Portis (2), Peterson (5), Betts (9), Foster (10), Leonard (16)

WR- Brown (4), Galloway (6), Holmes (8), Welker (13), JamesJones (17)

TE- Gates (3), Graham (14)

K- Gostkowski (15)

DEF- Vikings (12)

We start 1 QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1 TE, 1K, 1DEF

Only problem I see is my QBs have the same bye but I couldnt pass on Big Ben in the 11 since I have him top 10. Otherwise my WRs are slightly weak but Gates makes up for it.

That's a good team. Can't believe you got S. Smith and Owens where you did.

Was feeling kind of bummed about drawing the 6 spot in my first two drafts. I assumed that I would have two very similar teams...so it had better be good. I couldn't have been more wrong. Both leagues score 5 pt passing TD's .5 PPR for RB's

1 PPR for WR/TE. The two main differences in these leagues is that one is a no trade/no flex and the other is a trade/flex league.

In the first league(no trade/no flex) my draft started with:

Parker

Holt

J. Walker

A. Johnson

In the second league it started

Parker

P. Manning

Gates

C. Williams

I'm a little concerned about my WR's in this league. I didn't draft one until the 5th when I took Burress who has injury concerns. I would have taken one in the 4th, but the value was not there. The only WR's taken before my 5th pick were

R. Moss(ugh..couldn't do it), H. Ward, B. Edwards, and Calvin Johnson

I know you all know this, but stay flexible. Every draft is obviously going to be different. Off to prepare for a couple more drafts with the 4th and 5th overall. Good Luck in all your leagues.
