I had a tough time deciding between BPA or filling a need. I went with need since I now have a 5rd hiatus...QB - PeytonRB - SJaxRB - EdgeWR - HarrisonWR - TONow I'll be scraping the bottom of the barrel to fill out my O and start on my IDP. This is where teams are going to separate...
Has there been any progress in the draft today? I don't have access to the site from work. Yet amazingly I can get to the FBG site. :shrug:
I held things up most of the day. Lost power/internet for most of the day due to the ice storm. Things are just now getting back on track (we're waiting on pick 4.14 now)
The last pick I saw was Marion Barber. Who's gone since then?

At 4.13, I had Tom Brady as the best player available on my board. However, with McNabb already in tow, I felt that another 30-31 year old QB at this stage wouldn't be the best direction for the franchise (not to mention the POUNDING I would have taken from guys in the league and in here for avoiding my glaring need at WR). After a second QB was also atop my BPA board, the next name on my list was WR Reggie Brown, Eagles. He is a big target for McNabb with the potential for the big play (rewarded a bit higher in our scoring system). And, at age 26, he's just starting to come into his own. Not quite what I envisioned as a "WR1" heading into the draft, but not a bad start at building-out my WR corps. The THIRD best player available at 4.13 - :headbang: (broke my own rules), but taking a QB with that pick would have been suicide as far as my line-up is concerned. :football:
I appreciate the commentary you are providing with each pick, and I often try to follow the same general direction you are taking (BPA at hopefully the base of certain tiers or waiting for value regardless of position to drop). I do have a couple of questions based on this pick, your last pick, and generally:1) You were considering others when selecting McNabb; assuming the other QB was Brady (since none went)and the WR was Burress or Coles (I'm figuring Plax), did you get your best total value with the McNabb/Brown vs Brady/Burress combination?2) Not taking a 2nd QB "violates" your BPA regardless statement. Is that due to similarity of the various positions in tiers or just unwillingness to go strictly BPA when positions such as QB (versus RB/WR where a glut of talent is more useful)?Enjoying following this; the rostering and scoring setups leave a lot of different options to consider for team design.
 
So, everyone else is posting their team, my turn:

Bush, Addai, Boldin, MaClayton.

My thought was to go young with alot of potential early and then build a team with the BPA later on.

Jake Bachman(SJAX2)

Duckboy,On #1, the items I was debating while on the clock at 4.04 were: - Would the QB run start between 4.04 and 4.13, and would I end up with a guy near McNabb's ability if it did? - How many WRs would be drafted in the nine picks between my selections?I actually guessed right on the number of WRs that were selected (2), but I didn't think that Coles would be off the board when my next pick came up. He's a steady/solid WR that isn't as "sexy" as several other players who are still on the board. He was the best VALUE in WRs when Will drafted him, but guys have been breaking "BPA" all over the place in over-valuing youth, as is too-often the case. I also thought the QB run would start in the fourth round. Seeing no other QBs going between 4.04 and 4.13 shocked me....and makes me think (in hindsight) that I might have been able to get away with Plax/Coles and McNabb instead of McNabb/Brown. In my mind though, Brown isn't THAT big of a step down from those guys....assuming McNabb can stay healthy. If I were faced with the 4.04 pick again, knowing what I knew at the time, I would take McNabb again.On #2, I guess it is more due to the fact that I don't "trust" the other 15 owners to look at BPA...which could cause the WR runs to continue ahead of QB. WRs are at a premium in our scoring system (start 48 across the entire PPR league), so WRs early and often makes complete sense! I guess I just didn't want to take a second QB then get stuck holding much less talent at WR in another 15-20 picks. I have seven picks in the next two rounds though, so if the free-fall at QB continues, I'll be "forced" to draft my QB2 early and have the best 1-2 punch that most owners in 16-team dynasty leagues could only dream of. :lmao:
 
1.04 Brian Westbrook - PHI - RB3.08 Donald Driver - GB - WR4.09 Marion Barber III - DAL - RB4.10 Alge Crumpler - ATL - TENext picks: 5.13, 6.10, 7.07, 8.13, 9.02, 9.04, 10.13, 11.10, 12.07
Moved up from 4.14 to 4.10 for a few spots drop in the 6th and 7th (about 5 each). Slight "price", but I got a solid TE with PPR premium (1.5).
I like your players. The only pick I question is the Barber selection. With Westbrook, Driver, and Crumpler, your team would appear to be in "win now" mode. I'm not sure if Barber jives with that mentality. He's a good player with a decent chance to eventually become a starter in the league, but I think his abnormally high TD total inflated his value a bit and I wonder how useful he'll be for you next year if Julius Jones is still in town.
There's going to be 45-50 vets on this team, so judging age at this point is a mistake.Something you're likely unaware of is that my team also has eight rookie picks (5 round draft), including 1.05, 1.07 and 1.08.
 
Ok, my update:

I had the 4.16 and 5.01, but only one guy was here who I liked, so I used the 4.16 and traded the 5.01 to get an extra 7th:

Code:
Chris Overton gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 5.01;Year 2006 Draft Pick 11.01Jeff Pasquino gave up Year 2006 Draft Pick 5.13;Year 2006 Draft Pick 7.07

As for Bulger, I love him in this format where you get bonuses for 300+ yard games. I think he'll surprise.
 
1.04 Brian Westbrook - PHI - RB

3.08 Donald Driver - GB - WR

4.09 Marion Barber III - DAL - RB

4.10 Alge Crumpler - ATL - TE

5.01 Michael Vick - ATL - QB

Next picks: 5.13, 6.10, 7.07, 8.13, 9.02, 9.04, 10.13, 11.01, 11.10, 12.07
Moved up from 5.13 to 5.01 because I wanted either Bulger or Vick. Had a feel QBs were going to go rapidly this round, and I didn't pay too much to make this move in value. Pretty confident I can find talent as we get deeper.

Brady (5.02)- LJ (1.02) - Andre (3.02) - Evans (3.03)

and now i wait.... until 7.06

I guess this is another example of 'creating your own luck'? I mean, Bloom likely didn't know anything about Brady that most of us didn't know, yet somehow he falls down to SB in a 4 QB run. Wild. Great guy to have, just wait until they help him out with a WR1.

It is true that the distance and benchmark scoring bonuses change the normal value of players somewhat.

Getting so many double dipping scoring awards was very unapealing to me. One of the reasons I didn't participate in this.

 
At 1st blush Tom Brady at pick 66 looks to be the SOD so far. I do not think he had any business lasting that long.
Nowhere near it, he went about where he should. Especially if you take into account this scoring system gives bonuses for deep plays, which he generally has very few of. He's a solid starting QB especially in a 16 team league, but not someone who should of gone a number of rounds earlier.I was surprised to see Vick last that long. Particularily with Vince going so early. He's a crap QB, but great for fantasy.

Well we disagree.I would take Brady before Vince Young for example who went several rounds higher.
 
This is great and interesting to follow + having real time fantasy material to discuss in february is :yawn: .

After looking at this draft, I am more pleased than I was before with my similar scoring 14 team IDP league, which will be in year 2. I have 9 of the first 61 players drafted in this league on that team.

At 5.06, it all came down to TE Ben Watson, Patriots, and WR Jerricho Cotchery, Jets. I REALLY wanted to go Cotchery here, but I assumed that Watson would not make it back to me at 5.12. Of course, Cotchery went immediately at 5.07, which confirmed my "fears." :goodposting: Watson is the "last of the best" TEs that were available though, and the drop from Watson was more severe than the drop at WR from Cotchery. We'll see what's left at 5.12.....

I am getting the sense that you are somewhat disapointed with the players that have been left available to you at the slots you have traded down to. 16 teams tends to do that.. it is a much longer wait compared to 12 and the 1st 3 rounds = 48 picks or the same as 4 rounds in a 12 team league. So a big difference comparativly when trading down.You said pre-draft that you would stick to a BPA strategy. Have you done that?You are now coming to the place where you are making up for your wait with many picks over the next couple of rounds.. if you make good on these and stay focused on your BPA strategy you should gain some footing. These picks will be critical to the success of your trading down.
 
5.09-Philip Rivers

Not sure why he was the 12th QB taken in this draft.

Biabreakable,

I wouldn't say I've been "disappointed" with who fell to me.....but rather I was disappointed that the past couple of picks I was faced with such TOUGH decisions. It's somewhat of a necessary evil of the "BPA", as you are forced to make hard choices between "apples and oranges" (QB vs. RB vs. WR vs. TE vs. IDP).

To move down as far as I did and currently have:

QB McNabb

RB Rudi Johnson

RB D. McAllister

WR R. Brown

TE B. Watson

Are you kidding me? :goodposting: I couldn't be happier! Now is the most stressful time of the draft for me though, as I HAVE to throw some weight around and make every last "extra" pick hurt the other teams in my division....my conference....the league. I take every pick seriously, and will debate the merits of "X vs. Y" while I am on the clock almost every time. With the McNabb, Brown and Watson picks, I guess I was just hoping that the decision would be more clear/obvious than it was. McNabb I had to debate if the QB run would start before my next pick (which it did not). On Brown, I was SERIOUSLY shocked that Coles didn't sneak down to me...though I wouldn't say that I was "disappointed" with Brown at all. On Watson, I VERY much wanted to go Cotchery, but I knew Watson wouldn't last to 5.12...and the drop-off from Watson to _____ was greater than from Cotchery to _______.

With Brown, he was my third BPA behind two QBs (didn't want to draft a second QB that early). With Watson, he was my second BPA behind Cotchery...though the rules are VERY TE-friendly in this league. If I were drafting "BPA", I would have taken Brady over Brown and Cotchery over Watson. However, I felt those departures from BPA were in my franchise's overall best interests.

My $1.50. :lmao:

 
At 5.12, I was seriously hoping WR Chris Chambers would fall. That's the SECOND time Will has snaked one of my picks, LOL. After getting over the bit of disappointment, I had to decide between a QB, a RB, Branch, a second WR and a TE as "BPA". Again, I have a QB rated as the BPA at this position, with Branch being the second best player on the board (in our scoring system). This is probably the first pick where I've felt a bit uneasy....as the Seattle WR situation is very unsettled (DJax, Engram, Burleson, Hackett, etc.). I think Branch will emerge as a leader in targets/receptions on the team.....but I might have him rated several slots higher than others. At any rate, I can live with it.....but I would have felt MUCH more comfortable with Chambers. :goodposting:

take a nice nap. You'll feel nice and refreshed by your next pick. :popcorn: But seriously, you have most of your starting lineup already, job well done (* i am assuming Turner gets traded this offseason and becomes your starting RB, otherwise, you still have work to do :thumbup:

It is, it really is. If 2 out of Davis/Edwards/Turner/Cutler hit and become true first tier guys at their position, we are all in trouble.

Not sure what you mean as I already stated a few pages ago that I thought Vince that early was a mistake. I just meant that I figured if Vince went that early, Vick would probably go early as well since they are both kind of "sexy" running QB's for fantasy purposes.Would I take Brady before Vince? Depends on my strategy, but I would say Vince has much more "upside" than Brady and is 6 years younger. We've already discussed this some in a different thread a month or two ago, you're very high on Brady for Dynasty and I am not, let's just leave it at that.

It is, it really is. If 2 out of Davis/Edwards/Turner/Cutler hit and become true first tier guys at their position, we are all in trouble.
I like it as well, but is no one concerened he may not have a RB to start this year?
 
Here's another update:

Pick Ovr Franchise Selection Date/Time Comments 1.01 1. Chris Overton Tomlinson, Ladainian SDC RB Mon Feb 12 10:46:15 a.m. ET 2007 3.01 33. Chris Overton Colston, Marques NOS WR Tue Feb 13 12:58:21 p.m. ET 2007 4.06 54. Chris Overton Burress, Plaxico NYG WR Wed Feb 14 1:24:24 a.m. ET 2007 4.16 64. Chris Overton Bulger, Marc STL QB Wed Feb 14 7:31:27 p.m. ET 2007 5.13 77. Chris Overton Peppers, Julius CAR DE 8:15:54 a.m. 5.16 80. Chris Overton 6.16 96. Chris Overton 7.01 97. Chris Overton 7.07 103. Chris OvertonThe best player available IMHO was Peppers, the most dominant DE. I'm very happy to land him.Edit to add comments made in chat: I would have considered Ryans there too just because of his youth, but would in the end have chosen Peppers over him (he was also already taken at 5.05). When you are staring at lesser RB2's, middle class WR's and 3rd tier TE's, Peppers becomes a pretty obvious choice.

I like the start to your team, Brian. It should do well for you and I think will overcome the obvious issue you have at RB (likely for this year only). The problem now is the fact that you will wait a long time to pick again, and you have no IDP's on your team. If you can identify and pick the young-and-relatively-unproven IDP's (read "up and coming with best years ahead") you can still get ahead of the curve though.

The way I see it, everyone will have some weak areas after an initial draft. You can win in a league like this without a stud RB, because of the TE scoring, not to mention having 11 IDP starters. Those 2 things can cover a weakness at RB. He also has 3 solid WR's. Thus far I think his team is best situated for the long haul.
