Both should go no later than 21. Bunkley likely by pick 13.
He's on an odd decline among the expert and insider mocks. Rang mentioned a small downgrade for character issues.
Oh I agree here for sure. I know Buffalo is seriously considering Bunkley at 1.08 but they'll probably go after Winston Justice the RT from USC, IF they don't trade down. I know Bunkley has some character issues but according to Siggy http://footballguys.com/06bloom_rookie100.php both Bunkley and Hill aren't top 100 material.
I guarantee you Siggy thinks they're both very worthy of first round picks. The Rookie 100 is about fantasy rankings and IDPs aren't getting much love, rightfully so.Oh I agree here for sure.

Even so Bunkley and Hill have a ton more value than a QB like Ingle Martin at 86 or Marcus Vick at 89 or even S/LB Jon Alston at 91. Bunkley and Hill will play, probably a lot this year compared to Martin and Vick who will only play if the other 2-3 QB's ahead of them in the depth charts all get hurt.

I couldn't disagree more about Jon Alston. He's a WLB and he's very good. I bet he moves up in the next update. DTs are pretty much an afterthought in IDP leagues (unless they're mandatory,which is rare), so I have no interest in drafting Bunkley, though he'd be welcome on my favorite real team. I'll agree there's a place for Hill in the R100, but very low. CBs are hard to call and not as consistent generating stats as safeties.Even so Bunkley and Hill have a ton more value than a QB like Ingle Martin at 86 or Marcus Vick at 89 or even S/LB Jon Alston at 91.

No, DT's have almost no fantasy value in most leagues. There's Rod Coleman and then there's everyone else.rookie cbs are worth taking a flier on late if they are drafted to be a starter, since they will be picked on, but they aren't worthy of longterm investment unless they are good at returning kicks. There are a ton of dbs that you can find on the waiver wire every week.Even so Bunkley and Hill have a ton more value than a QB like Ingle Martin at 86 or Marcus Vick at 89 or even S/LB Jon Alston at 91.

I'm in 2 leagues (one with Bloom) where DT is mandatory, and I highly doubt I consider Bunkley, or any DT, until well after pick #50. In a league where DT isn't required? He'll be on the wire in most of those leagues. He should be able to generate a better pass rush than many DTs, but well below Coleman, Henderson, etc. Consider the value of Tommie Harris in your league, and subtract a fair bit from that.CB is also mandatory in those leagues, and while I generally avoid drafting them, Hill is a guy I have my eye on (partly because he's one of the targets for the Chiefs @ 1.20). His speed is truly impressive. His comparison may be DeAngelo Hall at best, although if he lands in the right system, he'd rise a bit.No, DT's have almost no fantasy value in most leagues.

Did he smoke Tye Hill, snort him, or inject him?
I vaporized him.
I am laughing out loud in my office. Brilliant.
I use to hang out with Broad when I went to FSU, we would usually play Halo a few times a week either at my house or some other dudes. We quit hanging out when Halo 2 came out even though I was in his clan (beat#####esass), we just kind of quit plaing. I wouldn't really say he has any character issues, he pretty much would just practice/ work out then relax and play video games. The stealing thing was just an immature thing, he was only like 19 or 20 at the time. Everybody has done something stupid at that ageOh I agree here for sure.

Hackney has a big arm but his accuracy issues in the postseason really dropped him on my board, below the complete project guys like Jackson and Nealy. Lundy I watched for two days at EW Shrine practices and walked away completely unimpressed. He seems to have no "suddenness" and was very tentative hitting the hole. he does have a good NFL RB body type and measureables, but Im down on him. I dont even think he's in my top 20 RBs.
Great, thanks for the answer! Didn't see Lundy much in the Shrine, but I wasn't that impressed with Hackney in the Senior Bowl practices.
Thank you for doing so (no only to you, but for all that post diverse rankings) it is very hepful and appreciated by us, less knowledgable FFers...
If you don't mind me asking (even though if it's not related to the subject here)... where do you stand on Mario Williams?...
Roye is not really a DT and it bugs me that MFL lists him incorrectly. Hendo is the man, and #1 in leagues that dont weigh sacks too heavily. Kevin Williams will rejoin the elite this year, im sure of it.i guess you are just gonna forget about the Year Orpheus Roye just had and also ignore what John Henderson has done too

Let me explain, I'm playing in the salary cap [DYNASTY] league in the signature... that is only rewarding points for sacks (6) or interceptions (8) for IDP players... and since the salary of those guys is small comparatively to their offensive counterparts (i.e. Freeney goes for 20$ while Holt goes for 43$) and deservely so (considering the points scored year-in, year-out)... it is nearly impossible to get a sack artist through trades - those having the Strahanes, Pepperses, Freeneyes and Taylores of the world don't move them...
Because of this, I'm looking to pick Mario at the 1.11 spot... (very doubtful that he will be there at 2.12 - since Ware went 2.03 and James went 2.06 last year)... Is he worth that kind of gamble?... are the Peppers comparisons fair enough? will he be an NFL sack artist constantly?...
Or, would you just get the best offensive player available at 1.11 and try and snatch the best sack artist left at 2.12 (Wimbley, Kiwanuka, Lawson or else)...
(At 1.11, offensive guys might be Cutler / Calhoun / Drew / Norwood / Moss ?)
Please advise - any thoughts, from anyone, are welcome...
well, obviously, yes, I am.i guess you are just gonna forget about the Year Orpheus Roye just had and also ignore what John Henderson has done too
But I think you get the gist of my over-assertion. There are very few fantasy DTs to depend on week in and week out. Depending on the scoring and positional requirements, drafting a rookie DT late might be worth it, but mostly nothing will come out of it.given the background that you just stated I would consider Mario a viable option at the 1.11. Normally I would't, but the dude is a freak and could easily be a top 10 DE for the next decade.

He's the best DE prospect since Julius Peppers. I'd probably trade down though. I figure, 5 RBs, 3 QBs, 1 TE and probably 2 WRs will be worth more than mario, even in your set up.

I think New Orleans is very unlikely. Don't get too excited if he goes to the Jets. Mangini is going to run a 3-4/4-3 hybrid and Williams might used the same way Richard Seymour is used in New England, burying his inside the tackles on some downs. For the NFL, this doesnt impact his value at all, because he's got the rare size and athleticism to be excellent anywhere on the defensive line. For fantasy, it would put a dent in his sack opportunities.Thanks again...

Williams is still the best bet from this class to be a top sack artist. Lawson would be very interesting opposite Ware in Dallas. Which head of that Hydra do you try to cut off? Wimbley is another good pass rusher that could put up big sack numbers in a 3-4 scheme. One great sleeper is James Wyche, a DE from Syracuse who is built too thin to be a force in the running game, but has a lightning first step. He was unstoppable in the east west shrine game.Now don't go and play devil's advocate!
Assuming Super Mario goes to the Big Apple... and, at first, his sack opportunities are rare... would you consider drafting someone else (later in the draft obvisouly) for sacks only... a tweener ala Wimbley or Lawson?... or Kiwanuka someone else?
I know, alot depends on where they will end up and the system there... but based on pure talent, rush moves translating to the NFL... anyone in particular?

Given your roster, makes complete sense to me. Unless NE drafts a RB outside of the big 4 and he falls to 1.11. You could still go Mario, certainly no problem with the pick.Thanks for the reply -OZ- ... as usual, helpful insight on your part...I already traded down with that in mind...

I think Super Mario is worth the gamble (unless picked by the Saints?)... getting a constant 10+sack guy in our league is money in the bank... probably help me more than say Norwood or Drew (that would be bye fill-ins behind Portis, Edge and Dillon)...
We'll see!
I think this example illustrates my point pretty well. Cassel and Fitzpatrick are the most valuable players you mentioned. I would rather own either of them than any CB or DT from the draft last year. Also, it isnt like I am picking the late round QBs randomly. I touted Fitzpatrick before the draft last year, and was on Cassel as soon as I heard the glowing reports out of NE camp. With a little bit of research you can maximize your chances of cashing in those late picks.
Another point about this comparison. With those QBs, specifically Fitzpatrick, their value skyrockets when they actually crack the lineup. In a lot of leagues, you won't find a player with comparable value on the waiver wire at their position. With the DTs and SBs, even if they are starters, there are likely others available on the waiver wire with equal or greater value.The defensive players stats were undoubtedly higher, but it doesn't necessarily equate to higher value.
This is kind of like saying Lorenzo Neal is more valuable in FF than Shawn Bryson or Maurice Morris.Even so Bunkley and Hill have a ton more value than a QB like Ingle Martin at 86 or Marcus Vick at 89 or even S/LB Jon Alston at 91. Bunkley and Hill will play, probably a lot this year compared to Martin and Vick who will only play if the other 2-3 QB's ahead of them in the depth charts all get hurt. Bottom line, this top 100 is flawed.Altogether now.... this is a DT and a CBIf you want to draft either position in the top 8 rounds, knock yourself out.I guarantee you Siggy thinks they're both very worthy of first round picks. The Rookie 100 is about fantasy rankings and IDPs aren't getting much love, rightfully so.Oh I agree here for sure. I know Buffalo is seriously considering Bunkley at 1.08 but they'll probably go after Winston Justice the RT from USC, IF they don't trade down. I know Bunkley has some character issues but according to Siggy http://footballguys.com/06bloom_rookie100.php both Bunkley and Hill aren't top 100 material.
