Who to draft at 2.11 and 3.02 (1 Viewer)

[jcsalazar]

I have the 2nd pick in a 12 man PPR Snake Draft. The 1st pick will be DJ so I will take Bell. My decisions to make are at 2.11 and 3.2! I know the guy after me will select McCaffrey at 2.12 or 3.1! I like McCaffrey and D.Cook! Should I draft McCaffrey at 2.11 if available then D.Cook at 3.2 if available? Who do you guys consider the better of the 2 backs?

Any suggestions or thoughts are welcomed!

I'm pumping the brakes on the rookie hype train. End of the 2nd I'd be looking at someone like Doug Baldwin/Brandin Cooks/TY Hilton. With a RB/WR start, the 3rd pick has some flexibility to take one of those RBs. Or if one of the aforementioned WRs is still available, I'd be all over them.

I don't believe you will see those calibers WR's drop that low, therefore, the McCaffrey's and D Cook become viable options, perhaps one of them paired with a decent WR - like Allen, Robinson, Jeffrey, Crabtree, or Adams?

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Smokin'! It should be interesting when the moment presents itself!

You're looking at pick 23 and 26. Here's the average ADP list for MFL10s from 20 on through 27.

20. Rob Gronkowski
21. Doug Baldwin
22. TY Hilton
23. Brandon Cooks
24. Leonard Fournette
25. Demaryius Thomas
26. Christian McCaffrey
27. DeAndre Hopkins

Odds are fairly likely that one will be around the first time. If not, then that means someone like Todd Gurley, Dez Bryant, Gronk, or Zeke fell to you in the 2nd.

Yea, as much as Gronk is a bad mofo, his health concerns me! I've done mocks in which I took both backs, some mocks I've taken 1 of those backs and a WR, and mocks with WR/WR! All combos are fairly close in total points after round 3...let me add that my league format is:

QB/RB/WR/TE/FLEX/FLEX/FLEX/K/TD
