Torry Holt is overvalued (2 Viewers)

[Maurile Tremblay]

When compared to the RBs available at the 2.05 spot, though . . .

I'm not a big fan of the RBs available in the 2.05 spot. Once Barlow and Faulk are gone around the 1.12/2.01 turn, I'm not sold on the next tier of guys (S.Davis, C.Dillon, R.Johnson, T.Barber). I'm more comfortable with Holt, especially considering some of the RBs who are typically available later in the draft (C.Martin at 5.02 and Thomas Jones at 5.06 currently at Antsports in 12-team drafts).I'd rather have Torry Holt at 2.05 and Curtis Martin at 4.05 than Corey Dillon at 2.05 and Steve Smith at 4.05. In general, I think the drop-off at WR from Holt to the mid-3rd or mid-4th round guys is bigger than the drop-off at RB from Dillon to the mid-3rd or mid-4th round guys.If people start drafting Curtis Martin and Thomas Jones in the late second or early third, I will change my mind on that. But for right now, I think someone drafting at the 2.05 spot can maximize total points by taking Holt in the 2nd and an RB in the third rather than vice-versa.

If you read my post, you'd see that TO has a 2.07 ADP, CJohn 2.11 and Ward 3.01 - with that in mind, Holt at 2.05 doesn't seem overvalued when compared to other WRs not named Moss or Harrison.

This is exactly what I was saying all along.

Just thinking back to how low these guys were getting drafted makes me laugh. ------------especially considering some of the RBs who are typically available later in the draft (C.Martin at 5.02 and Thomas Jones at 5.06 currently at Antsports in 12-team drafts).

I traded Holt straight up for Culpepper after week 1. Boy was that a great move.
