5th round to 6th round, that is it. I would consider taking him in 5th round as a third WR. You can't expect him to be there in 6th.

WR Martavis Bryant (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
3 WRs in the first 5 picks? This is the problem- he's a great WR3 but he's going where the WR 2s should be. Love the talent, don't love the value anymore.
I think this will be the problem you'll have, Sabertooth. I too am a MB owner, and am liking his potential in the near-term a lot.
Are you talking 2015 picks or 2016? For 2015...depends how high the picks are. I'd consider moving Bryant for Cooper, but would likely hold relative to later 1st round talent like Parker or Agholor. I think I'd hold MB over a 2016 1st, given the uncertainty of where that pick would fall.

In MFL 10s that I'm in this week he's going in the mid to late 4th. Seems to be getting a bit too pricey, but the upside is certainly there to justify it, I suppose, especially in best ball.

That is a bit too high. Bryant probably should not be going before Keenan Allen but I could see him going before a Golden Tate, Brandon Marshall types. Jets offense may be bad and Marshall may not do much. I personally would not take him over Tate as Tate has proven what he can do.

I was offered one 2015 mid-first by three owners, no one would give more. As the Brown owner I'm perfectly fine not selling for a mid. I think you could push someone off him for an early, but not sure.

Went ahead of Kelvin Benjamin, Jordan Matthews, Keenan Allen, and Andre Johnson (who fell to me in the 5th). He could conceivably outproduce those guys, but that's too rich for my blood.

It's crazy how values fluctuate depending on what time of year it is. I'm not even sure I have Bryant over john brown right now. Maybe I'll just sit tight. His value appears to be already reflecting that of a young star. And he certainly might be one but there's no way I'd trade devante Parker for him straight up right now. John brown is close, and did a lot more last season with street free agents at qb and not Big Ben.

His best games and every single TD came in games Palmer played.In 16 games.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/16886/martavis-bryant
In 10 games Bryant crushes Brown.

What? That's my point I think. If Brown gets Palmer his stats should improve

And Bryants should also.Sabertooth said:
But what Palmer is he getting? After his last ACL it was ugly for awhile.

Not good. Wheaton sure seems like a decent add right now.

I'd rather overpay for Bryant's upside. At least I've seen him dominate when given the opportunity. Wheaton, not so much.

Man...I was on the fence between Martavis and Adams in slow draft a couple weeks ago. Kept hemming and hawing. My gut told me pick Martavis.

Makes sense now why Wheaton has been getting the work at #2.

Martavis for sure at that time. He was getting drafted earlier than Adams by a good 1-2 round, more even. Going to be interesting where he goes now.Man...I was on the fence between Martavis and Adams in slow draft a couple weeks ago. Kept hemming and hawing. My gut told me pick Martavis.

I'd wait a few weeks into the season if the 4 game ban stays, and then offer a combination of players like K.Allen/charles johnson if they start hot. Playing across from AB won't hurt him, it should only help. I would buy all day for a 2016 1st rounder. The report of multiple failed drug tests does hurt value but I'm the type to roll the dice on upside.

This article dampers so much of my hype it's not even funny. Josh Gordon 2.0?

I was a staunch believer in Martavis, but the warning flags can't be avoided. I sold him for a couple of picks and am not looking back.

Meh, until a couple weeks before the suspension the Steelers couldn't stop talking up Martavis.
I'm hoping, cause I obviously don't know - that he isn't as dumb as Blackmon or Gordon.
But the offers I got this offseason (a mid first, from more than one person), are worth less to me than the investment (2013 4th rounder) and expected value (WR2 for as long as he has a WR1 in front of him.)
I'm standing pat.

I probably sold low, but what CSTU posted scared the bejeesus out of me. I was ready to move on with something than take nothing later. But I'm admittedly risk averse.

To my knowledge the results of drug tests are not given to players for some time, I think the league is the only one that receives them until they hand down judgement and notify the teams.
Obviously he knew what he was doing, but if you get tested x number of times in a season and hear nothing back I could definitely see the blissful ignorance of a young kid.
Hes suspended hes doing the time, hopefully he learns something. Another failed test will take him off the field for 10 games.

I don't trust him to mind his p's and q's. He obviously knew he was being tested. Knew the ramifications and got caught anyway. Not sorry for doping, just sorry he got caught. Without a come to Jesus type intercession, whether it's of his own volition, family, or his coaching staff, he's going to get bored and go right back to the well again. At least that's my bet, though I honestly hope I lose that bet and he pulls his life together.
Surprised that the Steelers were able to keep this so close to the vest. Probably explains why they drafted Sammy Coates. But that was months ago! So the Steelers have known about this for the last six months and knew they'd be without him for the beginning of the year? And that's why Ben talked up Markus Wheaton?
Wish we would have known this type of info before the draft! How come that weasel Adam Schefter couldn't uncover this nugget of information that would have been so helpful? Martavius is smoking away his pure talent. I also do hope this doesn't become a sad Josh Gordon or Justin Blackmon case.
