It's okay I guess. Just wish that I had a shot at Gronk in one of the drafts.
Here is one I did the other night, has a lot of upside if some starting RBs get hurt and my handcuffs hit..

Just did one from the 5th hole .... Almost picked Josh Gordon in the 7th but went for Crabtree and hoped Gordon came back in the 8th but he was drafted the very next pick in 7th.....
Thoughts? I liked a lot of the value I got in this draft (Benjamin in 11; Jordy in 2nd....I might have reached for Foster maybe one round earlier but I really wanted him)
QB: Cutler (14); Romo (15); Fitzpatrick (18)
RB: Rawls (4); Foster(5); Jeremy Hill (8); Rashad Jennings (9); Shane Vereen (16)
WR: Jordy Nelson (2); TY Hilton (3); Crabtree (7); Travis Benjamin (11); Tajae Sharpe (20)
TE: Gronk (1); Barnidge (6); Witten (10); Will Tye (12)
DEF: Denver (13); LA Rams (17)
K: Graham Gano (19)

Looks very boom or bust to me, but that isn't a bad thing. If your rbs hit and you pick the right qb most weeks you could run away with your league.
As long as Rawls and Foster are healed and stay that way team is very solid.
Here's a similar team from the 6 spot
Rivers, Flacco
Latavius Murray, Matt Jones, Ivory, Crowell, Deandre Washington, Marshall
Jordy, Maclin, Crabtree, Coates, Sanu, Cruz
Gronk, Olsen, Brate
Catanzaro
Den, Sea
Nicely done. I like this team a lot. And agree you got tons of value here. Hill and Jennings at 8/9 is great IMO. Both guys should offer RB2 #'s. Or better.
If I had to nitpick, probably a little thin at WR. Not much behind Crabtree. Not high on Benjamin. Too many target hogs in SD. What's his Rec-upside? 60?
But nonetheless, very strong squad

Keenan Allen @ 2.02
Had higher ranked WRs in front of him and started second guessing myself, but with Stevie J out now it may work out.
Sorry that post was referring to Coots team above. He got Allen at the 2/3 elbow. But yea Allen should catch 100+ blindfolded this year.

Very solid. Looks like lot of value fell to you. Going 3 straight WR's then having CJA fall to 5.1, that's as good as you could have hoped I'm sure. Forsett I'll be backing off of for now, they're now talking up T West as the possible front runner. That's just a cluster%#^ of a backfield. I would still be looking at Dixon late. He's probably the most talented of all 4. But nonetheless looks strong.

Nice team Gildz..
Parker and Lockett went way later than the drafts I've been in.. Last nite they went 5::7 and 5::10..
As long as you get production from your RB's this team will hang..
Team looked familiar to me..I've got a team with a lot of the same players that was drafted 3 weeks ago..

Seems that zero WR may be the best strategy this year. In the drafts I have done (haven't done one in couple weeks) there are always at least three people who go zero RB in the first 4-5 rounds which creates unbelievable value for RBs versus second or third rate wr's in the round 3-5 period especially
I disagree. Only have done 3 so far but from what I've seen and what's posted on this board, there's tons of RB value in the 6-10 range. End of the day, WR's are just a lot more consistent. And especially the Elite ones. You hit on just 1 RB in those middle rds, you're golden. I'm convinced zero-RB is the optimal strategy. Especially in a tournament format like this. Just my .02

Well rounded, solid club. Deep at WR. RBs after Duke are a bit of a shot in the dark. Curious, where did you get Ebron? Assuming this draft was today - after the injury news? Could be a big pick if he's ok.

I'll preface this by saying I really like this team, and it's the first time I've had the opportunity to draft WR with my first four picks.
The value was simply too much to pass up drafting from 1.8:
QB: Drew Brees (9.8)
RB: Thomas Rawls (5.8), Matt Jones (6.5), Ameer Abdullah (7.8), Kenneth Dixon (12.5), Alex Collins (14.8), Jalen Richard (20.8)
WR: A.J. Green (1.8), Mike Evans (2.5), Jarvis Landry (3.8), Donte Moncrief (4.5), Michael Thomas (11.8), Jalen Strong (15.8), Kenny Stills (17.8), Tajae Sharp (18.5)
TE: Antonio Gates (8.5), Zach Miller (10.5), Will Tye (13.8)
Defense: Houston (16.5)
Kicker: Chris Boswell (19.8)

It's solid but where is the value you're referencing? All these guys are pretty much where their ADP's are. Rawls at 5.8 is nice now that he's activated. But he was going rd 4-5 in every draft tho also. Also would have taken Michael over Collins and way too high there for him as well. Collins is barely draftable IMO.
But should be solid assuming those backs don't flame out.
Decided to go against the grain last night.. Has a different feel but overall I like it..
Brees, Big Ben
D. Johnson, Miller, CJ Anderson, D. Lewis, J. Ferguson, J. White
Maclin, J. Gordon, M. Jones, W. Snead, B. Ellington, B. Perriman, D. Amendola
Gates, Wilford, Amaro
Gostkowski, Seattle
Should be different as everyone else keeps going no RB strategy..

Interesting to see how it pans out. If you can get production out of your receivers till Gordon comes back and he shows no signs of rust being out of the game so long it should be fine as the rest of your positions are solid.
I took sort of the same approach with a draft a couple nites ago

Love this team. Great value in Funchess and Hightower. May want to see if you can get another TE. The Eagles went with a lot of three TE sets tonight, and indications are they may do that a lot this season. Not sure if that means Ertz sees less targets.

I actually agree with him. Its much better to do the opposite. I talked a bit with you about this last year when I went TE, QB, WR and you thought the team sucked. Ended up top 50 and a lot of it was because I zigged while those other punks zagged. Going zero RB is all the rage currently (so very hipster) and while I do agree WR's are more consistent it still comes down to selecting the right WRs. Now that tons of people are going WR,WR,WR it allows for value in others places. I won't be going zero RB this year....thats for sure. I did so last year but Im thinking this year the forward thinkers are going to adjust and take advantage of the zero RB crowd.
Thing with this game is we don't know what strategy will work from year to year unless you are a psychic or have divine intervention .. I have neither so I started out drafting teams WR heavy then went to balanced teams and now am goin RB heavy.. Figured I'd cover all the bases and still be a loser..Keep thinking that with your 10 pt flexes .
In the end, you have to pick the right players regardless. Me personally, I've had a lot more success going zero RB. There are still too many questions with the rbs who are going early, to bypass elite WR's. In my mind at least.
For the most part, I'll put my eggs in those rbs in the 6-9 range and hope to strike gold there. Also as a couple noted, RB's pop up out of nowhere a lot more then stud WR's do.

Good thing I took Sterling Shepard or you'd have the entire starting offense of the Gmen.. I seriously thought about Jamaal at 3.1 but with Freeman already ended up going with Hilton.. Glad i did cause i had no idea Duke would drop to the end of 6th.. Should be a fun leagueDa Gildz said:

Was between Duke and Foster there in the 6th. Figure for the games I get out of Foster, he's still likely a top-15 RB option at worst. I'll sign for 7 Arian Foster games right now and be happy. Was hoping to get Ajay at a discount, didn't happen. Don't think I would have taken Shepard over Lockett or Hurns tho. Wanted Lockett there and the guy takes him right before me, but times out and hits the pause button. Was semi excited that he would throw him back, but he was fine with the auto pick. Ugh.
How about the guy who went 7 WR's in his first 8 picks?? Does he realize you can't trade in this thing? Ha

Pretty good squad...gonna need some of those WRs to reach their potential to have a shot. You've got a few of my late round targets in Morris/Adams/ASJ.
