Those with the 7th spot in a 12 team league... (1 Viewer)

Payne

Footballguy
I have the 7th spot in a 12 team league. Boy I love auctions.

Any ways, let's share thoughts and predict how we can draft the best team out of this spot.

Assume:

LJ, LT, SA go 1-3 and Portis / Tiki go 4 & 5.

From gathering data, Jordan or Jackson seem the odds on favorites to go #6.

That leaves us #7 drafters with the following options:

Jordan / Jackson

R. Brown

Edge

Rudi

Caddy

This alone is a difficult choice to me. I am tempted to go with the upside of either Jackson or Brown.

However, the 2nd round could be an even tougher choice and this is where I end up going back to my 1st round selection.

You see, I am very tempted to grab a stud WR on the way back instead of McGahee or DD or whomever.

Then in round 3 I would pick up Dunn or maybe Foster if he is there.

That gamble causes me to rethink my 1st round pick and forces me to lean towards Rudi.

I love the consistency Rudi brings to the table week in and week out.

Now if Caddy or another RB reach me in the 2nd, it would be hard not to go that route and go WR-WR in rounds 3 and 4 with maybe a DJax / Driver combo or something similar.

Thoughts or stategies??

 
I think Jackson over Edge.

antsports.com FREE online mock draft. Gives you some idea of ADP if you want to experiment. You can pick spot #7 to see where they fall. Do a few drafts for practice, all pretty consistent.

Problem I have with those is somebody always drops out. Then the computer selects Tom Brady in round 3 or something. :wall:

That is why I have done 4 so far. Should I start a thread for us to create a private one with FBG users that won't drop?

We could. I was just trying to see what thoughts others in the same position had.It's a difficult place to draft from this year. You miss out on the top 3 and the 2nd 2 and are left with a group who are all relatively equal.
 
I've got #7. It's a ppr league and we start 3 WR's and 2RB's. I'll probably grab the best RB available,either jackson or Brown imop then I'll get one of the top WR's on the way back. I had #8 last year and that startegy worked well,I got James at 8 and Holt on the way down and they were both solid all year.

I agree with this plan. Who do you see coming back to you in round 3?

If everyone after me thinks this way then guys like Harrison,R.Moss and Boldin should be there,if just 1 or 2 owners after me go RB-RB then Owens,Holt or Fitzgerald could be there.
 
i'm also #7 (but my lost my first rounder in a trade last year), so i'm curious as to who'll be there at 2.6, 3.7 and 4.6. i'm thinking of grabbing the best avail (i.e. if a RB like caddy should fall) or going with a top 5 WR if a couple of teams go RB-RB. i'd then need to grab a RB in the 3rd but don't like my prospects when mock it out myself (i don't have the time just yet to do an online mock...and that might be my problem because i keep drafting players i like for other teams)...i'm thinking of gambling on lesser RB in the mid rounds like gore, rhodes/addai, haynes (?GL for pitt) knowing that my league is TD heavy...

Most mock drafts i have seen are 10 rbs for round 1, and round 2 being 50/50 wr and rb with holt and CJ going first as WR. I have also seen moss, boldin and harrison in round 3.
 
I know you are speaking specifically to the 7 spot... I had the 8 spot in No Mercy (12 team leagues)...and followed almost exactly the pattern you spoke to. And once you are out of rounds 2 or 3, the 7 vs. 8 position doesn't make much difference. I'll post my draft results and some commentary. Feel free to ask questions about why I did what I did, where certain guys went or simply talk about what I did that you think was good/lousy so we can all learn from my mistakes. [basic info: 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE w/6pts for all TDs]

My Roster:

1.08 Rudi Johnson (was between him and Edge, and chose Rudi for his consistency)

2.05 Steve Smith (#1 WR on my board, #2 WR taken C-johnson went two picks earlier)

3.08 Warrick Dunn (I waivered a long time between Warrick and Chester Taylor... I have a feeling I will regret not taking Taylor, but we shall see...) My top 2 Rbs are on BYE week 5. Not ideal.

4.05 De'Shaun Foster (see Rhodes pick for commentary)

5.08 Matt Hasselbeck (the QB run hadn't started Manning/Brady and McNabb were only ones gone...and since we get 6/TD, I wanted to have a stud so I grabbed my #3 ranked QB. It turns out that 4 more QBs went in the next 1.5 rounds)

6.05 Dominic Rhodes (Between Foster/Rhodes I expect one of them to pan out into a strong RB 3. As one of the FBG articles calls out, less than 1 in 5 rookie RBs pans out to be a top 20RB, yet the CAR and IND RB will historically produce a top 10 or top 5 RB. I anticipate one of these two will be able to win the job. If they both do, then i will have a sick slate of RBs.)

7.08 Rod Smith - The old standbye is steady, and he gets his catches/yards.

8.05 Koren Robinson - He was the best avialable WR1 left on the board. And I'm a Viking fan, so that was the tiebreaker. My starting WR corps at this point is a bit suspect, but I have been able to be successful using the waiver wire to get viable WRs. As a result I tend to go RB Heavy.

9.08 Chris Perry - This was a round earlier than I would have liked, but I wanted to ensure I backed up my #1 pick, especially since I took a bit of a gamble with my RB 3/4.

10.05 Keenan McCardell - I was between him and guys like Moulds/KCurtis, and I went with the last #1 WR. As a sidenote, I don't get the big love for K Curtis. A guy in our league drafted him as his #3 WR. He is the #3 WR on his own NFL team!

11.08 Randy McMichael I was one of the last to grab a TE, and I like what he can potentially do with Daunte.

12.05 Colts Def. This is the first time I have ever taken a Def before the last round or two. Not sure that I love this pick, but I wasn't too excited about the other options. I probably could/should have grabbed a b/u QB like McNair...but I didn't have him rated much higher than 3 others, including the guy I ended up getting.

13.08 Jeremy Stevens Grabbed another TE so I can play matchups each week. Not that it really matters but I have Hass/Stevens combo for weeks when they play weak teams.

14.05 Brad Johnson If Hass gets hurt, then I am in big trouble. Brad through better than a TD/week last year when he was starting...but he would have 2TDs one week, and then none for two weeks, and then two the next. Not the type of consistency you want. But with the WCO, who knows. The other QBs taken in the previous two rounds were all in the same tier: (PRivers, Carr, Simms, Brunell) So since none of them really excited me, I went with Brad a round later.

15.08 Brandon Stokley Could be good...he's healthy and had 10TDs two years ago

16.05 Maurice Morris I'm fishing for a lucky pick here at the end of drafts. High Risk High Reward types (and possible 'throw-in' trade bait guys.

17.05 Michael Pittman If Caddy's hammy is a problem, this could be gold

18.08 Josh Brown

There are your 2006 Tusken Raiders...Hope this helps. If you have questions about strategy, or where certain guys went, let me know...

I like your draft. I'm afraid Foster will not make it back to me in round 4. So I might take him in round 3 and go WR in round 4. I think RB's can be had later in the draft.I'd prefer going RB-WR-Foster-WR-RB.

Now if you think someone will go a full round earlier than I have listed, fine, that just means that I don't value that player that high.RD1 - Rudi/EdgeRD2 - Westbrook/Parker/JonesRD3 - Bush/Taylor/DunnRD4 - Burress/Williams/DriverRD5 - Manning/Hasselbeck/McNabbRD6 - Green/Rhodes/Brown/MartinRD7 - Best TE leftRD8 - Reggie Brown/Bennett/KennisonThat's a pretty stable starting line up with good value and upside.Now if Westbrook wasn't there and one of my top 3 WR is there in the second round I could see taking a WR here and grabbing a RB in round 4 but that would be guys like Bell/Dillon/Foster

Fosters ADP is around 4.04Don't reach for him, if someone else reaches in round 3 then another player will fall to you. Let the draft come to you.
 
I am in the process of doing a Mock on AntSports and had the 8 spot - I know this is not 7, but could still shed some light.

1.08 Jordan

2.04 Westbrook

3.08 Droughns

4.04 Shockey

5.08 Hasselbeck

6.04 Galloway

7.08 Glenn

8.04 Muhammad

9.08 Coles

First round went like this...LJ, LT, SA, Manning, Portis, Barber, Jackson, Jordan, Brown, Edge, Smith, Rudi

I have done several mocks....and the best stragety is RB/WR.....only RB/RB if maybe rudi, brown, caddy drops.

Westie and Mcgahee have questions......very similiar to those that RBs in round 3 have......but you are carrying a stud reciever instead of Djax.

I agree that RB/ WR seems the way to go unless one of those RB's drop.It is my plan.However, I don't see a huge droff between a stud WR and DJax. I like DJax this year quite a bit.

What's more, is the difference between RB15 and RB20 (which is what you lose by going WR in R2) is only about 10 points, whereas the dropoff in WR points (WR5 and WR10) is over 20 pts. Ballpark, of course.

See and I feel most comfortable going RB, RB, RB, because then I have 3 RB that are probably in the top 16 or so. That means if I take a Westy in the second, I have another option in case those questions come to light. Then in the 4th I go WR. I think the middle round depth at WR and depth at RB is enough to keep me in the hunt for a title.Just my :2cents:

I am tempted to go with the upside of either Jackson or Brown.However, the 2nd round could be an even tougher choice and this is where I end up going back to my 1st round selection.You see, I am very tempted to grab a stud WR on the way back instead of McGahee or DD or whomever.Then in round 3 I would pick up Dunn or maybe Foster if he is there.That gamble causes me to rethink my 1st round pick and forces me to lean towards Rudi.I love the consistency Rudi brings to the table week in and week out.Now if Caddy or another RB reach me in the 2nd, it would be hard not to go that route and go WR-WR in rounds 3 and 4 with maybe a DJax / Driver combo or something similar.Thoughts or stategies??
Here are my thoughts at this spot (based off of ADP and what I know of my leaguemates) These guys listed are guys I could see and feel that I would draft. Now if you think someone will go a full round earlier than I have listed, fine, that just means that I don't value that player that high.RD1 - Rudi/EdgeRD2 - Westbrook/Parker/JonesRD3 - Bush/Taylor/DunnRD4 - Burress/Williams/DriverRD5 - Manning/Hasselbeck/McNabbRD6 - Green/Rhodes/Brown/MartinRD7 - Best TE leftRD8 - Reggie Brown/Bennett/KennisonThat's a pretty stable starting line up with good value and upside.Now if Westbrook wasn't there and one of my top 3 WR is there in the second round I could see taking a WR here and grabbing a RB in round 4 but that would be guys like Bell/Dillon/Foster
Do you guys really think Foster will fall to the 4th round? I see him going round 3 and would be afraid to wait.
Fosters ADP is around 4.04Don't reach for him, if someone else reaches in round 3 then another player will fall to you. Let the draft come to you.
I forgot to reply to this. I agree completely! Do not reach for Foster. You would find more value elsewhere. If he is there in the 4th, take him, but 3rd is too high.

I think Jackson over Edge.antsports.com FREE online mock draft. Gives you some idea of ADP if you want to experiment. You can pick spot #7 to see where they fall. Do a few drafts for practice, all pretty consistent.
Problem I have with those is somebody always drops out. Then the computer selects Tom Brady in round 3 or something. :wall:
Why actually join a draft at Antsports? If you want to, you can just go to "mock draft viewing" and then just make your pick in place of the guy at spot #7 in each draft. Takes about 20 minutes each. There's no way I've got the patience to actually join one of these. When you go to mock draft viewing you can select serious mocks only or just glance at each mock and go down the list to see where the computer picks begin happening. If you don't like a particular one then go to the next one.
