For sure, I was just trying to say playing Mills on a team that is missing so many key parts isn't trying to lose. It's just the only real option they have at the moment. It is a rebuild, this is what you do. Give young players chances to prove themselves.
In my 3rd and final NFC draft last night he went in the 5th.
Yeah, I’d take him over Penny for sure.
Anything after the 1st round is late for a QB these days.
Where did I say that? I said he could be a 1st round pick next year if he absolutely blows up this year and Texans look great. He could also be a 10th round next year if he stumbles this year.

That’s likely your choice. If someone doesn’t reach for him in the 6th
they arguably have the biggest deficit to climb out of thanks to BOB, so I can’t say I fault the strategy. That guy absolutely destroyed them for a good ten years.
I don't think the Texans are going to be a playoff team this year or close to it, but I do think they will be more competitive than some people think.
Out of control
Got that one beat. He went at the 4.06 in my RTS high stakes 12 team draft a few days ago 1st place is $500K
Maybe that team Drafted all WRs and the decent RBs were all gone?
C'mon man.
Ekeler, T Hill and M Pitts were his first three picks. RBs we’re probably drying up a little as this is a 14 team league.
The first 3 RBs that went after Pierce were CEH, Edmonds and Mitchell - so it’s really not that crazy I guess.
Ah, 14 man league. Guess I shoulda realized that when I saw 4.13 but didn't clue in. Guess that's a little bit better as it's pick #55. Still early IMO... hopefully he got another RB at #58?
marquise Brown at that pick. Pierce will be his RB2. As some one with AJ Dillon as RB2 I can’t say with certainty I’m better off - I did take Dillon 2 picks before Pierce went.
Zero chance that happened come on be real
I think that is nuts. Pierce should be considered a low-end RB2 in my opinion. Why can't he be at least David Montgomery?
That's a bit high. I think there's better options still available at that point. He should be there at at least the 4/5 turn. As the draft plays out, guys might forget him as they see shinier names keep falling to them.I have #1 overall tonight late in my biggest league........ and after hearing a tiny bit of chatter from a couple guys in our league, I think I'd have to take him at the 2/3 turn to have a chance at getting him.
I'm as high on the situation as most, but I don't know if I want to pull the trigger that early.
His situatIon being that he’s a starting RB? You can get that “situation” from a lot of proven players at that point in the draft.
Is he a three down back or will Burkhead see passing down work?
I think Burkhead may start in that role to protect Mills, but if Pierce is all that and can prove himself in pass pro, I can see Lovie keeping him on the field. We are talking Rex Burkhead here.
Absolutely don't take him at 2.12, C'mon man. He should be there at 4.12 but if he's not then that's fineI have #1 overall tonight late in my biggest league........ and after hearing a tiny bit of chatter from a couple guys in our league, I think I'd have to take him at the 2/3 turn to have a chance at getting him.

Nice steal for the 2 of you though.
FWIW, FBG has him at RB31 in their updated rankings. Right around Sanders, Singletary, Penny, etc.From reading through this updated thread I still think he is being drafted too low.
Much higher. Not as high as everyone in here talking about him in the 3rd and 4th rounds of course. I'm not sure how I could justify taking Gordon, Singletary, Hunt, Harris, Etc. over him like you guys have in your rankings. I just wasn't sure if it was a mistake or why he wasn't boosted higher, but those notes definitely do help as they explain their rankings of him. Based on him going easily top 8 rounds now, he's pretty much on the do not draft list for fbg staffers.
People are acting like this guy is some league winner - he may end up being very productive but the higher the price the less return for your buck you're getting. He's not a bargain if you're paying RB2 value and he returns RB2 production. I mean there is a chance that he's not all that useful in fantasy football as well, if things change once the real bullets fly.Absolutely don't take him at 2.12, C'mon man.

Ya I agree. I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle of where he's going now/talked about now vs where FBG has him ranked. LIkely exactly in the middle.People are acting like this guy is some league winner - he may end up being very productive but the higher the price the less return for your buck you're getting.
