I was at a poker game shortly after the catch/Sunday night, and 3 people I play fantasy with were sitting there.
One guy who's opinion I respect, one guy thats "semi-smart" and the other is a complete joker.
2 of the three knew Beckham, and "the joker" just vaguely knew him. (but he did know he was starting to really take off in the weeks prior)
So I openly asked the three of them, if they were drafting today, exactly where would you take OBJ? (standard redraft)
I said I would consider taking him in late round 3, depending on roster construction. Realize we play in start 3 WR leagues also.
The other guy I respect said "that sounds about right for me, round 3/round 4".
The "semi-smart" one said he didn't know exactly, but would certainly take him in round 6.
The joker said he would consider him late round 1 early round 2. He then said "well thats where people were taking Brandon Marshall/AJ Green, and a few others, and look at how they have been doing".
Sure we are at a point where his hype value may be at his highest ever, but you have to admit its interesting.
If he stays healthy, and puts up WR1 numbers the rest of the year, I wouldn't be surprised if people next year were talking about taking him in round 2.
(not saying thats where I would be thinking of taking him, I just wouldn't be shocked)
