Not that early. You made the right call.
I was a bit surprised you didn't display your DeWill man-love in round 3. As far as taking a RB and WR from the same team, it should only hurt you in week 6. That said I think it brings stability to your weekly scoring which may or may not be a good thing. I don't like multiple players from the same team normally because it limits your weekly upside. But, at the same time it limits your downside as well. So, it depends on the quality of the rest of your team and whether it was a good move or not.
It is??PAEyou know its start 3wrs right?
Just kidding.Well I probably would have taken either Smith or Chad at the 1-2 turn, but they were both gone already. At the 3-4 there were/are Wr's I like, but not enough to grab them at that point over top 5 at thier position players like Palmer, and Heap. If it was not a best ball league, I probably would have gone another route.In this format it's no problem. I would have done it.
I'm not really THAT high on D. Williams or Colston really. I would have taken AJ or Javon Walker over Williams. Unfortunately, my entire WR core that I was targeting for that 3rd round pick got demolished so I went with my highest ranked RB at that spot thinking that I'd still be able to get either Burress or Ward with my 4th rounder.
Is there trading in this league?Or did we add a flex spot?
Otherwise I don't get RB/RB/RB/RB
I also have Colston in my Top 10 receivers and I have him scoring more points than DWill next season. No brainer for me.
It's a strategy move. I've always gone RB-RB-RB. This year, something different, based on my experiences in this system to date. It's bold. Maybe stupid. But I'm interested to see how it pans out. Nonetheless, I do like my backfieldIs there trading in this league?
This league is a marathon, not a 100-yard dash.
kind of the opposite effect as folks screaming run trying to inspire one, slamming picks to keep folks away?FM, You thought Pimpin' taking Palmer at 3.14 was early, but you took McNabb only 14 picks later and VD at 5.01?
As a guy that felt like I was reaching for RBs in the 1st and 2nd so I didn't and then had to in the 3rd and 4th, I think that it is an excellent strategy for Grouse. Nice job!It's a strategy move.

Actually I agreed with he pick. I was just thinking that was earlier than he had gone in other drafts but I was mistaken.As for McNabb, same situation. No way he or amy other good QB will be there when I draft again so get him now or never. Besides, he's a great value at the end of round 4. There may be 4 others that will be better than McNabb this year (although I wouldn't bet against him) but he's proven money when he's healthy. And I like the earlier bye he has. So McNabb at 4.14 is looking good to me. Frankly I was surprised he was still there. With plenty of weapons on offense and good reports on his rehab I like this pick.FM, You thought Pimpin' taking Palmer at 3.14 was early, but you took McNabb only 14 picks later and VD at 5.01?
You really can't make the comparison in this draft. I'm picking from the 1/14 holes while he is on the opposite end of the turns. There's a good chance he/I might have to reach a bit to get our guys. Drafting a QB at 2.14/3.01 made no sense unless it was Manning. Waiting to draft McNabb (QB3 on my board) at 4.14 is the better move for me while I add some quality WR's to my team.
It's all good. I just thought you were going to wait to take a QB after you said that Palmer went a bit too early. But, it seems like you've changed your opinion on that. In any case, I like McNabb on a ppg basis but he has been having problems remaining healthy lately. What I don't understand is, what does him having an earlier bye week matter in this league?Actually I agreed with he pick.

Palmer at 3.14 > value than McNabb at 4.14
Uh, I can explain. Uh, I can't explain. It's times like these when 1 league runs together with the others. Running from baseball tournaments for my son to ice skating for my girl, I get a little confused. Other than that I'm good.radballs said:It's all good.

I am more nervous about KW than I am Gonzo. KW has health concerns, qb concerns, rb concerns. Gonzo just has QB concerns IMO.
IMO-Winslow is a great talent but a huge risk. Gonzo will his usual self. Winslow could finish TE2 over Gonzo but I would take Gonzo over him knowing what I know today.
I had grouse going 3 straight RBs as a given. One of the reasons I passed on the top WR talent in round 2 and went with a little RB2 reach.4 was a surprise - but you can never have too many good RBsIt's a strategy move. I've always gone RB-RB-RB. This year, something different, based on my experiences in this system to date. It's bold. Maybe stupid. But I'm interested to see how it pans out.

Sorry, but even in a best ball format, I am going to have to disagree with that because the cost is that you are significantly weaker at other positions. It would of course be different if there was a flex option, but with two best each week, there is one score where there is a big differential for WR and TEI had grouse going 3 straight RBs as a given.

It depends on how you look at it. Points on your bench are points your opponents do not score against you. 4 is extra aggressive - but it will be hard to outscore grouse in the rb2 slot.
my guess is Twilight will generate that once the rosters have been filed outwe do play each team once, FWIW, for a 13 game regular season
Here's another way to look at it. By Grouse taking 4 RB's, he's made his team weaker and a few others as well. Clearly he left some value on the table by not drafting a WR/TE/QB and someo0ne else benefitted. Meanwhile, some teams may be hurting at RB especially if they get an injury.
congradulations...you put a super team together from the #1 draft spot in a PPR league
(13 MOX drafts, I've never had the #1 pick and lucky me, I take Ricky f'in Williams the spring before he dicides to pack it in w/the 1.8 in MOX-III :X )so 
to you, LT and the boys Pimp....given you selected a guy already taken and missed 14 selections, you came out of this pretty much unscathedthe alternative would have been to wait out the clock (which would have expired), then you would have missed out on at least 10 of the guys anyway as most of us were around most of the night and would have entered a slew of picks
Um, there's other possible Top 5s out there and for your team, I just don't see how it helps your squad. You already have Brady, so you spent a 7th round pick to improve your team on Brady's "OFF" weeks a couple of points. I think landing someone who can contribute a full 12-20 points per week on your team is what you should have been after.Fiddles said:
Ya think! Nice start TL. BTW-I love that you got Addai at 6. I'd be surprised if he falls below 6 in any of my drafts.
I think kitna will outscore brady more often than just his bye week
