If I want him, where do I have to take him in order to assure I get him, without taking him too early?
This sounds about right. If you really want him I would go after him around the 10th or so. I guess it just depends on where the draft is in terms of the other TEs still on the board. I would wait until all the top tier TEs (probably the top 10 TEs) are gone. He won't go before then in most drafts.
You would take KWII and VD over Crumpler, McMichael, Smith, Cooley, Troupe, Stevens, Miller, Smith, Pollard, and Clark?Interesting.
i suppose i should have clarified....but i don't love the guy...i just like him and am willing to roll the dice that he is going to comeback and have a "nice" year, similar to Jason Witten type numbers from last year:
with the potential to hit numbers like Jason Witten from two years ago.
Well, I haven't dowloaded the VBD for this year, but using last year's spreadsheet, and changing to 2 PPR for TE, Tony G would have been ranked 3rd overall. So, not much of a stretch. Especially since he was projected to score 198 points more than the #12 TE (worst starter). In a 16 game season, that is 12+ ppg.even @ 2 pts per reception how can you draft a te #2 overall?
i understand he has a chance to do good, but still...why not get your young stud rb to build your dynasty team around and go for gonzo in the second? I'd be too worried about rivers starting and what impact that will have the next 2 years or so on his stats. I'd be interested to see what that teams roster ended up looking like. @1.02 he coulda gotten 1 of Larry Johnson or Tomlinson obviouslyWell, I haven't dowloaded the VBD for this year, but using last year's spreadsheet, and changing to 2 PPR for TE, Tony G would have been ranked 3rd overall.

Use ADP numbers as a guide. A lot of sites that give ADP info will include the earliest draft position for each player (Antsports does this) which can be really useful information if there's a player you feel you have to have on your team. As close to your draft as possible, look up Winslow's ADP info including the earliest he's been taken and draft accordingly. You may want to consider moving him up or down a round or two depending on the latest press reports concerning his progress.
Absolutely. Why not? After the big 3, there is a big glut of TE's that are about the same in terms of potential. Your list includes Heath Miller. He was a rookie last year and ranked amongst the other guys you listed -- and well ahead of Gonzo. At the TE position, I'll roll the dice on a guy that has upside. Most of the guys you listed have a ceiling, imho. My guess is that KWII and VD can do as well as many of these guys, and if they are as good as advertised, then maybe you get the new Gates. KWII and VD are supposed to be far superior athletes to the guys listed.
If healthy, I think Winslow can fall in between those two Witten goal posts. Easily. That's why I think he's going get drafted earlier than most pundits say he should. Someone in your league will roll the dice. Particularly because it is the TE position that won't lose you your league but can sure help you win it.
Because stud TEs have longer careers than stud RBs, and they are far more consistant from year-to-year.Seriously, I'd gamble on Gates being a top-3 TE for the next 5 seasons. What RB are you going to say that about? Tomlinson, who has had a historically huge workload? Alexander, who is coming up on 30? Larry Johnson, maybe, but even he has a lot of questions for the next 5 years regarding the new offense, the inevitable losses on his OLine, and even his workload.i understand he has a chance to do good, but still...why not get your young stud rb to build your dynasty team around and go for gonzo in the second?

I scooped him up in my dynasty league at the end of last year because a owner in a similar circumstance gave up on him. (PPR, non TE required). If I was in a TE required league, I would definitely target this guy due to his reward-to-value ratio. If you really want him start thinking about it in the 8th round, pull trigger in 9th. Hype will raise his value as preseason approaches.Take him in the dynasty rookie draft in the second round two years ago and suffer through two years of him on IR.
Don't get me wrong. I still have him. I figured I suffered through 2 years with him, I might as well get some benefit out of him.I scooped him up in my dynasty league at the end of last year because a owner in a similar circumstance gave up on him.
