DD can't finish out a season, McGahee/Jones have never played a full season, Portis has plenty of ?'s and Culpepper has never played without Moss.1.01 - LT1.02 - Kevin Jones1.03 - Alexander1.04 - McGahee1.05 - Portis1.06 - Manning 1.07 - Culpepper1.08 - D. Davis1.09 - Randy Moss1.10 - McCallister goes to LHUCKS
FYI - Zealots is a dynasty league that has a flex spot which allows for a 3rd RBI passed on Deuce at 7 in a league to take Moss. There are some reasons:1) Saints offense is not getting into scoring position like they used to. Losses on the OL and inconsitancy from Brooks have slowed down the whole offense.
Also, I was a bit surprised to see both Manning and Culpepper drafted to owners who don't have a top 3 rookie pick. I thought maybe one of the two QBs would slide to LHUCKS and he might take one knowing that he had a good option coming with his rookie pick. In a league where you can start 3 RBs, there's no way in hell that I would take anything other than RB unless I had one of the top 3 rook picks.
I know...just throwing a jab.I guarantee it wouldn't be reported back. I'd keep that information to myself.I would give hints but Radballs will probably :report: it back to the league
In terms of the QBs...Manning is the only QB in my top 15 for dynasty and I was pretty sure he wouldn't be there with him coming off the monster season.
If I wanted him I could trade down...there is zero love for Barber in dynasty leagues. I might get him with my 3rd.I just figured out the answer....BARBER.I guarantee it wouldn't be reported back. I'd keep that information to myself.I would give hints but Radballs will probably :report: it back to the league
That's a toss up to me.I know...just throwing a jab.I guarantee it wouldn't be reported back. I'd keep that information to myself.I would give hints but Radballs will probably :report: it back to the league
Any Edge lovers think I made a bad move taking Deuce instead?
With his age, this is very true and the fact that it's not 1 ppr.If I wanted him I could trade down...there is zero love for Barber in dynasty leagues. I might get him with my 3rd.I just figured out the answer....BARBER.I guarantee it wouldn't be reported back.

Especially in a league that isn't ppr. It's also nice that Taylor is a great handcuff. Lewis is still relatively young as well which is nice for dynasties...although he runs so hard I think his shelf life will be a bit shorter than some of the other top backs.
May I ask who did this?
Yeah...that was a reach. Although there has been a lot of hype about C-Pep on these boards as well. 6 points per passing TD, and with long shelf lives for QBs I guess you could make the argument. Not for me though, I'll take a slew of mid-range QBs in the 7th...thank you very much.
Seriously...I would not touch him in round 3!
Just to clarify, no disrespect to people taking him this early. I know there's a few strong Culpepper backers here, and I've advocated taking Manning early in early season drafts so I'm not arguing strategy. I'm just wondering who did it.
Did Manning go 1.02?I don't think he's a FBG, and I'd rather not post his real name...some people are sensitive to that.I just noticed in Z28 C-Pep went 1.03
He actually went 1.06 in that draft. I'd like to hear the argument for C-Pep over Manning.Did Manning go 1.02?I don't think he's a FBG, and I'd rather not post his real name...some people are sensitive to that.I just noticed in Z28 C-Pep went 1.03
I took Culpepper at 1.07.I know, I know it's a stretch. Many people think he'll be hurt by the loss of Moss(I was in that boat earlier too), but being a Vikings homer I did it for two reasons:I don't think he's a FBG, and I'd rather not post his real name...some people are sensitive to that.I just noticed in Z28 C-Pep went 1.03
Hi encaitar,I think you misinterpreted my posts. I never called it a bad pick, I said you may have reached, but keep in mind that is according to my projections and nobody's projections are spot on or else they'd take the WCOFF every year and the hobby would suck.I took Culpepper at 1.07.I know, I know it's a stretch.

1. I am a Vikings fan and it'll make it that much sweeter when he puts up 25 points each week.
2. I won't have to worry about QB for a long time in the dynasty(at least hopefully not)
So, bash all you want, I realize I might get stung at RB, but the first round of the veteran draft isn't even over so moves can be made.
Oh, and LHUCKS... I don't really care if people see my real name. Thanks for using discretion, but honestly I have nothing to hide.
...and I look forward to the criticism and competition.
No, I totally understood what you were saying. It was a reach. I debated for a long time between putting Duece or Duante at the No. 7 in my predraft. I just decided that QB's are more highly rated in a 6 point per passing TD league and I really think he's good for at least 25 a year.The first 6 picks played out almost exactly as I predicted too. I had Manning at the 1.05 and Portis at the 1.06, but the rest happened just as I thought.Hi encaitar,I think you misinterpreted my posts. IMHO it was a reach, but I never called it a bad pick. Like I said in my earlier posts, I think you can definitely make the argument for C-Pep early because of 6 point passing TDs and the long shelf life he is likely to haveI took Culpepper at 1.07.I know, I know it's a stretch.

The losses on the o-line are not signficant. What was killing the o-line were the mental errors that lead to false starts (Victor Riley, most notably). Brooks' inconsistencies were there, surely, but inept playcalling exacerbated things.Terrell Smith's departure did affect Deuce, but OC McCarthy went to a single back and two-TE set early last season. This was awful for Deuce, as you can well imagine with Conwell and Boo blocking. Once they got FB Mike Karney to block for Deuce they were able to really run effectively (25+ carries in the last four games of the season, which the Saints won). This coming year will continue this, with the emphasis on short passing and ball control-style offense under the new OC Sheppard. And, finally, the much-maligned defense gelled with the final 4 games where they held the opposition to 18 points or less. The defense will likely be improved with MacKenzie, Dwight Smith and another offseason under the belts for a young LB corps.
Deuce
I took Ahman Green at 2.03 and then immediately offered him up for a trade, nobody has responded yet. But if I were one of the three people that didn't go RB in the first round I would seriously consider trading with me.So now I've got:
To be fair I'm 90% sure that this pick in the draft came before Moss was traded. Still too early imo, but Culpepper at this spot in a dynasty league 5 weeks ago looked much more attractive.He actually went 1.06 in that draft. I'd like to hear the argument for C-Pep over Manning.Did Manning go 1.02?I don't think he's a FBG, and I'd rather not post his real name...some people are sensitive to that.I just noticed in Z28 C-Pep went 1.03
Great point. Should be interesting to see where everybody has Culpepper ranked in a couple of months.To be fair I'm 90% sure that this pick in the draft came before Moss was traded.

I'm liking Edge or Bell or JJ.
