What scenario would cause Lynch to go number 1? (1 Viewer)

[bigreese82]

Does it matter where Lynch goes...is he destined to be the number 2 rb? With some teams headed towards the RBBC approach I could see AP going to an unexpected spot...one where he will clearly split carries for 2-3 years...

Where could Lynch land to make him number 1?

 

[NorrisB]

probably if your concerned about injuries

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I don't think it matters where Lynch goes so long as Peterson does not go to S.D., or K.C.

If AD goes to Arizona and Lynch goes to Buff or Green Bay I would consider him going #1 in rookie drafts.

Not to hijack, but is there a scenario where Calvin Johnson goes before these two in a PPR league?

 

[KING]

i don't see any scenario where lynch is the #1 pick. i think if AD lands on a undesireable team, Cj will go #1. LYnch landing in some places like GB, or buffalo would help his cause

let's make this list larger.

 

[lions327]

In a dynasty, there is no way I would take Lynch ahead of Peterson regardless of where they are drafted. I consider Peterson a future can't miss stud, and Lynch is not at that level in my opinion.

I have the #1 pick and struggle with taking AD if he goes to:- Arizona (not a fan of RBBC with Edge for 2-3 years)- Minnesota (C Taylor sucks IMO, but he could stick around 1-2 years)- any dark horses such as Detroit or Tampa Bay (RBBC concerns)The only way I take Lynch is in the above scenario, if Lynch also goes to:- Buffalo (A-Train isn't a starter)- Green Bay (Morency is a scrub)- might also consider Lynch in Houston, but probably not over AD

 

[QUEZILLA]

If someone really wan't Lynch they would be stupid to not trade down.

 

[offdee]

There is no scenario.

Regardless of where they go AD is the #1RB and Lynch is the #2RB. Period.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

There is no scenario.Regardless of where they go AD is the #1RB and Lynch is the #2RB. Period.

So if AD went to Kansas City, and Lynch went to Buffalo or Green Bay, you'd pick AD? That just doesn't make sense. Unless you consider that scenario so unlikely that you've excluded it outright.

Yes, I would still take AD.AD is much more talented than Lynch...the cream eventually rises to the top. Just need to be more patient that is all.(Remember when Larry Johnson got drafted behind the great Priest Holmes)

Yeah, I remember. LJ only had 140 carries in his first two seasons. I'm hoping for a bit more early production out of the #1 overall fantasy pick. But if AD ended up producing like LJ, it would probably be worth the wait....

 

[Traders2001]

In a draft with talent at RB he would go in the second or third round ( He is no first round talent ) but with only Peterson as a decent RB and many teams needing help at that position he might go in the first round but no way he makes it first overall even if Peterson , Russell , jhonson would retire and quit football.

Has "Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson get sent to a Turkish Prison" been mentioned already?

Let's reverse this question for a minute. Does anyone see a scenario where Lynch FALLS from the top 3 in rookie drafts? His stock has been slipping recently...

Probably the same idea - KC, SD, St. Louis, Philly, San Fran(?), Washington, that's probably about it.

 

[Riffraff]

Where could Lynch land to make him number 1?

Indy. He'd fit the system quite well.They have a roster spot to fill.Of course we only think RBs fall into the "perfect" spots before the draft.But history tells us differently. Good prospects get drafted behind good starters every year.

 

[Christo]

So if AD went to Kansas City, and Lynch went to Buffalo or Green Bay, you'd pick AD? That just doesn't make sense.

Of course it does. I made the mistake of drafting opportunity over talent in a rookie draft one time. Never again.

To add to this who would go ahead of him? I'd imagine a QB but not much else.

 

[Colin Dowling]

I think he goes at the top of Round 2 to Cleveland.

I do agree with good prospects getting drafted behind good starters (Maroney behind Dillon, LJ behind Priest, etc,) but Addai is way too young to spend an early round pick on a RB when other positions are needed.

If Denver drafted a RB and Lynch went to a bad situation, I can see some taking another RB ahead of Lynch.Ginn in Indy may lead to him being #3. Quinn falling to Carolina could be $ too. I don't see any of this happening, but nonetheless...

lynch is much more talented then addai. addai is mediocre in a good system. lynch would be lights out in indy.

All first round RB examples (a sizable example considering how many RBs get drafted in the first round)euce was not old when they drafted Bush.Ricky was not old when they drafted Deuce.Henry was not old when they drafted McGahee.Foster was not old when they drafted DeAngelo.TJones was not old when they drafted Benson.Rudi was not old when they drafted Perry.Dunn was not old when they drafted Duckett.The list does not include Alexander, LJohnson, or Maroney.Maybe some of the examples were of guys that weren't as good. All it takes is a team to decide they like the player at the draft position they sit in, regardless of who they have as a starter at that moment in time.One cannot expect the top RBs will go to a team with a dire need at RB. It doesn't always work that way.One can always hope though.

How many of these RBs had dealt with injury issues?How many had just been drafted in the 1st round the year before?If Indy drafts another RB in the 1st, I'll be shocked.

That is what I am saying too, back to back 1st round RB's is not gonna happen.

 

[super sleeper]

I agree with most that it would take an extraordinary circumstance for Lynch to leapfrog Peterson in a rookie/dynasty draft. A more likely scenario is that someone jumps in between Peterson and Lynch.

As someone who has been victimized in a keeper league by both JJ Arrington and James Jackson, drafted more for their situation than talent, and sitting on the #2 pick this year, I'm almost certain that I will be faced with a similar predicament. Someone like Leonard or Pittman is going to go to Buffalo or GB in the second round, and Lynch is going to wind up in dropping down to the Tennessee or the Giants. If this happens, I may wind up trading the pick or taking CJ.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

FYI, Im hearing that Lynch is likely to fall out of the top 20 - I just can't figure out who in the 21-32 range would take him... New England? I have no idea. We could be looking at a Kevin Jones situation where someone trades up from the early 2nd to grab him in the late first.

You would think in that situation Clev. would be on that like white on rice. (assuming you don't think they are taking AP at the 1.3)BTW, are you saying that teams like GB, Buff, and Tenn which have pretty big RB needs (IMO) would pass on him in the 1st and grab one of the 2nd tier guys later??

Thats the only way to read it - I haven't been hearing specifics, just that he's in danger of falling out of the top 20 now.

That would shake up some rookie drafts if Lynch goes to a team at the bottom of the 1st and a guy like Bush, Leonard, etc.. go to GB or Buff in the 2nd.

there are no guarantees in the draft.he could be rated high on their board for all we know. with him slipping, anything could happen.

This is a great point. We armchair GMs rule out a lot more real possibilities than we should. The objective of the draft is to hit on every pick, not hit on every pick at a position of need. Roster turnover happens so fast now that you're better off taking the guy you like and know will be good regardless of who you currently have at the position. We have seen teams get rewarded again and again for having the foresight to project 2-3 years in the future when they are drafting instead of just looking at what they have on the roster right now.Indy is indeed one of the teams I could see pulling the trigger on Lynch. It's a two back league now.

His parents gave him the nickname because he ran all the time, could "run all day". Can we PLEASE stop having to answer this question? Seriously, can mods delete each poster who continues to ask this?

It's going to happen all the way through August when the fair weather FF fans do their drafts. Just like people are asking it in 2007 when Peterson has had the nickname for many years already.When they are late to the game, they ask the same questions. What's the score?
