What to do with #4 rookie pic? (1 Viewer)

[ImTheScientist]

Ken Irons has a lot of potential. Depending on who he goes to I may seriously look at him before one of the two QBs unless you really need QB help.

that's a huge leap---how Lynch would drop below GB @16 is beyond me---that said, I guess anything is possible...

NFL Network (Mayock) is reporting that Lynch is sinking like a stone due to concerns over his health (back issues) and character.Nobody saw Steven Jackson slipping to the Rams or LJ and McGahee lasting as long as they did either.

Who thought Willis was going to go significantly higher after that knee injury?

Yes, there were teams with RB needs that passed on him, due to his injury risk. What I'm saying is Buffalo and KC were "all set" at RB with Henry and Holmes; no one foresaw LJ and McG going where they went.

So therefore, it wouldn't shock me one bit to see Lynch drop, drop, drop right into the hands of some team who we as FFers didn't see as having an immediate RB need.

Lynch is no guarentee to be a 1st rounder. Probable but rumors are he has dropped on many draft boards.

If you believe anything Pat Kirwan talks about then Lynch will not go in the first. He has talked about it on his Sirius show that he has been told that the Pack is not interested in him and if you check his mocks he hasnt had him in the first round for the past couple of weeks. It would be great if Lynch fell all the way to the Bills in the second.

Add to that the fact that Green Bay says Morency is their starter.

Of course he is. Until they add someone else who is better.

But the question isn't whether or not Morency is the starter in GB next year; it's do they draft Lynch?Everything I'm hearing leads me to believe that Green Bay doesn't feel that taking an RB in the first round is their highest priority.

So? A RB in the 2nd or 3rd would still likely be much better than Morency. Lynch or not.

I get it. But we're not here to talk about Morency. We're talking about Lynch slipping past the Packers.

So many times in our dynasty league you see the top WR taken as far down as end of the 1st round, with the top 3 or 4 RB's taken being the no brainer top picks. This year seems different....I can't believe CJ is so good he's leaping ahead of Lynch and Pittman in rookie drafts....I've got #2 pick and am totally conflicted on moving down (I have Bush and Gore) or keeping it and shoring up WR for the next 10 years.

I bet those are not the consensus top 3 picks in 12 days.

Agreed, I think Lynch is the one that is going to fall in the NFL draft. That being said I would take the RB that lands in the best possible situation. IMO where & when can be more important then the "who".

Woe to those who follow this path. Just as an example, ask those who took JJ Arrington over Benson or Julius Jones over Steven Jackson what they're thinking now.

This guy knows stuff.JJ Arrington and Eric Shelton say howdy.

Addai seems to have bucked this trend.

I have heard this a lot. I think it is way off base. Addai was a first round pick for a team has a phenomenal track record of identifying first round talent and was taken within a few spots of Marnoey and Williams.

Pre-draft Addai was rarely ever mentioned anywhere near Bush, Maroney, DeAngelo or even White as he was firmly in the 2nd tier (3rd if you considered Bush his own tier). He was the 4th RB off the board and fell into a perfect situation.That's not to say that the draft experts aren't wrong about players talent level (there are numerous examples to list here.)

Okay, so we know that AD, CJ and Lynch will be the first 3 rookie picks. Who do you guys chose at #4? I think Quinn and Jamarcus could be argued but the Raiders QB and the Cleveland/Miami/Minnesota QB is nothing to write home about. With Buffalo, Green Bay, Tennessee, I think rookie's are pretty much guaranteed to start or at least have a majority share in an RBBC. Other good situations for RB's include Atlanta, Houston (aging veteran), Indy and New England. I think I take whatever RB goes to Buffalo or Green Bay not named Lynch. I'm not sure if there is a WR worthy of the #4 pick because there are about 6 WR's who could produce the same.

Willis in BUFF would be my #4 if the top 3 went to good places.Tom

I'd think you could get Ryans, Bulluck or a few others for the 1.04. I wouldn't ever draft a IDP that high.

A lot of the concern about Addai was his injury history and lack of experience, not so much his talent. IMO, he's still a guy to be concerned about.
