rzrback77 0 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Really surprised that Cam Newton was QB 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bronx Bomber 28 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well it felt weird taking a QB at 2 but since we can't trade down I didn't feel like missing out on the top guys. Seeing Newton, Brees, and Brady go quickly after makes me feel better. Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing Newton, Brees, and Brady go quickly after makes me feel better.On the flipside, I grabbed Calvin and felt fine, but 11 picks in and only one WR taken, I am beginning to feel like the guy who took a kicker in round 7...

Sweet Love 233 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Really surprised that Cam Newton was QB 2I have a feeling he will be the most polarizing player in 2012 redrafts...some will see him (regardless of scoring) as a round 1-2 guy, others would let him drop to round 5 (not that it would ever happen).

solorca 80 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I probably should have went with Calvin at 1.05, and maybe it's because I've never played in a league of this type before...but double points for TE receptions seems like it would really benefit the people who have the dominant tight ends.

BassNBrew 10,571 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 MOP really drew a bad draft spot for his likings. I hope he's right on Steve Smith, but definately the highest he's gone this year. Link to post Share on other sites
Ministry of Pain 5,395 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 MOP really drew a bad draft spot for his likings. I hope he's right on Steve Smith, but definately the highest he's gone this year.No doubt but no crying in the beer just yet. 1/2 turn...QB: Matt Stafford is fool's gold in the 1st IMO...sorry to the dude who gobbled him up right after me. I'm not knocking you taking him, just not what I wanted. The only QB I would consider in the 1st was Tom Brady and he was long gone so I'll wait. RB: Ryan Mathews fell a bit in our draft but I would not have taken him. I just can't trust ADP with the ACL tear, McFadden had a turrible injury as well, just would rather someone else take the risk. I know Richardson is early but if you like the talent you have to take him wherever you can, he would likely be gone when I pick again and I have seen some of the picks for guys who waited on RB until the 6th round and I just can't build a solid foundation without an anchor at RB. Richardson will be ridden like Seabiscuit with the Browns and he is a dual threat. WR: Names that I don't want to mention because they are still on the board but I was looking for a WR1 who had no threat for targets. Smith should do very well with Cam in year 2 and has already shown a knack for having explosive games, I expect a big season for him and while he might not be top3/top5, he is almost a lock for top10 if he stays healthy. I'm not trying to win games weekly, just stay off the bottom, Smith can cover 2 slots at WR some weeks so I'm fine with the pick even if some believe a few more names should have come off the board first. I'm trying to build a team with a mix of consistency and also some pop. I gambled a bit on Richardson so I wanted to make sure I had a security blanket at the WR1 spot. TE: Not at this spot. I like the pairing of Richardson with Smith to start things off. Also this is my first draft of any kind since Sept of last year...not rusty by any stretch but I found it really eye opening looking at the drafts. In fact I was blown away by some of the picks. I realize last year's stats typically rule but I see so many folks just looking at last year's stats and assuming they will hold again this season. Just an observation from someone who honestly has not been keeping up with the WSL, PDSL, just shocking where some of these guys are landing. I'm just going thru and finding the guys I want and the where they are drafted so I can see if I need to reach or not. 14/15/16 slots are rough. Link to post Share on other sites
bicycle_seat_sniffer 5,109 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 why is stafford fools gold? the only thing that will stop him from being a top5 QB again is injury. The passing game is loaded up, the running game stinks and so does the defense Link to post Share on other sites

The passing game is loaded up, the running game stinks and so does the defenseI am in agreement with MOP here. This isn't to say Stafford is fools gold, just where he is going in redrafts as QB3-6. He has a longer NFL history of injuries than he does staying healthy. Me personally, I would like to see a longer history of health before taking him that high. Link to post Share on other sites

The passing game is loaded up, the running game stinks and so does the defenseThat lack of a running game is going to catch up to them. I covered Stafford a couple times last year on the recaps, watched him quite a bit. He had some eye popping stats but he is not the "NFL Qb" that some think he is. The coaching staff was not chucking the ball everywhere early in games early in the season. I don't have anything against Stafford, just don't feel he is a top5 NFL QB just yet. He is a candidate IMO for a drop in 2012 vs 2011. Link to post Share on other sites

Im thinking if he had the surgery after his rookie year he would of been fine then. And I dont really care if he is a Top5 NFL QB, Im going purely on stats here for FFL purposes.

I'm not trying to start an i-fight over this, if you love the guy more power to you, just don't think he is elite in the same way Brady is or a few others.

Go Pack 6 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 He gets to throw to Calvin Johnson. That pretty much makes him a top 5 FF QB if healthy.

I don't disagree that Stafford is probably not top 5 QB talent but he is certainly well above average and gets to throw to the best WR in the league with some other solid guys as well so I think his FF value is very high. He also plays the Packers twice who I really hope have a much improved defense this year but they did set a record for passing yards allowed in a season last year. That has no impact on why I picked him, but it does not hurt.I gambled on him in several leagues last year and he paid off. Hopefully he does not turn back into glass this year.

Ministry of Pain 5,395 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Using the Staff logic that he has to be a stud with Calvin...where does that put Matt Ryan with both Roddy White and Julio Jones to haul in receptions? Very happy where I landed him right now. Love the Jordy pick to pair with Steve Smith, feeling alright but most folks are after 4 rounds. Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Holloway 365 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I like Ryan this year a lot. He is very comfortable with Roddy White who has been close to the most targeted WR for the past couple of years and I think that Julio Jones is more talented than Roddy. Not sure if Gonzalez can maintain his production this year, but he is also a nice Red Zone option. When you add in that their lead dog RB Michael Turner has so many carries over his Falcon career and is getting up their in age as well, there is a lot to like in Ryan. Getting him at QB 9 seems about right and he could finish slightly ahead of that in the final rankings for the year. Jordy Nelson is awesome for best ball.... booom weeks galore Link to post Share on other sites
bicycle_seat_sniffer 5,109 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 THe change in OC might be what Matt Ryan needs to finally have a WOW offensive season. Roddy/Julio need to be featured and Turner needs to take a back seat. Im buying this year for sure Link to post Share on other sites
