Fantasy Draft Grades

[RayRiceFan27]

So with FF griding up for a go, I figured I'd make this thread for everyone to just post their Drafts and get Graded or for others to offer suggestions/hints/advice. I recently did a IDP draft with another group I am in, and heres how my draft went, rounds I pick them are listed to the right:

QB: Matt Schaub - 2
RB: Jamal Charles - 1
RB: Jahvid Best - 4
WR: Desean Jackson - 3
WR: Wes Welker - 5
WR: Malcom Floyd - 8
WR: Hines Ward - 12
TE: Zack Miller - 6
TE: Aaron Hernandez - 14
DT: Haloti Ngata - 9
DT: Kyle Williams - 22
DE: Jared Allen - 11
DE: John Abraham - 18
LB: Patrick Willis - 7
LB: Ray Lewis - 10
LB: David Harris - 23
CB: Terrell Thomas - 13(auto pick, I was eating dinner)
CB: Antoine Cason - 19
CB: Nate Clements - 24
CB: Tracy Porter - 26
S: Troy Polomalu - 15
S: Ed Reed - 21
K: Robbie Gould - 25
P: Brian Moorman - 30
Coach: Colts - 20

Bench:
Marc Bulger - 16
Danny Amendola - 17
Bryant Johnson - 27
Tandon Doss - 28
Richard Marshall - 29
Darren Sproles - 31
Jordan Shipley - 32
Jacob Tamme - 33
Reggie Bush - 34
Kendall Langford - 35
Jimmy Smith - 36
Brian Orakpo - 37
Rey Maualuga - 38
Robert Ayers - 39
Jairus Byrd - 40

How do you guys think I did, grade, or any suggestions? There were maybe more than half the people actually picking with the rest auto picking, around 12 teams all in all.

Well, a lot depends on your format and scoring, and also how many teams are in the league. I'll go ahead and say this though regardless -- not a fan of taking Schaub in round 2.

Well I could have gotten P Manning, but i didnt want to take a chance on him with him just having neck surgery, but hey, if I made a mistake, thats just something to learn from for the next draft. This is just sort of a fun league for me, the one league Im looking forward to is ER20s league, Ill have to be on my game then.

[PuRock]

Holy 'large teams' batman.

For a 12 team league, not very good. Like Fly. Schaub is a reach in round 2. Especially since they seem to rely on Foster more. I would've taken another running back in the second. When Jahvid Best goes down with turf toe, who will you turn to?

DeSean is feast or famine. I hate going with him as my #1. I prefer getting consistency with my #1 guys.

Your defense is fine, but those guys you can pick up and drop during the season. I would have concentrated on beefing up the bench with offensive starters.

[DevilsLuck]

I play on CBSSports.com and I'm in a 12 man team standard roster which is 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DST, and 5 RES so here are my picks and their rounds

QB- Joe Flacco - round 1

RB- Peyton Hillis - round 2
RB- Knowshawn Moreno - round 7

WR- Anquan Boldin - round 3
WR- Derrick Mason - round 8
WR- Collie Austin - round 9

TE- Antonio Gates - round 4

K- Sebastian Janikowski - round 5

DST- Ravens - round 6

My Bench consists of:

QB- Ryan Fitzpatrick round - 10

RB- Danny Woodhead round - 11

WR- Lance Moore round - 12

TE- Todd Heap round - 13

DST- Titans round - 14

Just wondering how I did. I feel alot better about this draft than last years draft considering this is my second year playing. Thanks and GO RAVENS!!!

I'd give you a D- for that draft.

[/quote]

I was going to say your're being generous but I'll give it a D- as well. Its obvious that your're a homer. Flacco, Mason and Boldin is a lot of eggs in one basket. No good. Flacco for a 12 team league you can get earliest in round 7 latest round 10. First round? His ADP on CBS is 88. No Good.

I'll give you Gates in round 4. That's the earliest he should be drafted. But that's about all. It stops you from getting an F.

Boldin is going around Round 5/6. So another stretch. Your bench isn't going to help when Hillis/Moreno goes down with an injury.

Its going to be a long season. But you never know, you might get lucky. But you need to delineate being a Ravens fan and a fantasy football fan. Homers rarely win at this game. If in doubt, check the Best players available to see where these guys are.

I apologize for being so harsh, but I'm just trying to help you for the future.

[lowrider]

The only pick I moderately like is Austin Collie at 9.

1. why did you pick Flacco first round? he would have been there in round 9 so why did you reach for him that far?
2. Peyton Hillis is ok but he is going to share carries with Hardesty and I don't expect Hillis to have another year like that. He struggled towards the end because teams knew how to stop him
3. Boldin is not a good fantasy wr. Maybe a number 2 or 3 fantasy wr but the Ravens have a lot of weapons to give the ball too and you could have gotten somebody better at that position. And you could have gotten Boldin later if you wanted
4. I'm ok with Gates in the 4th depending where you picked him. But injuries plague him so I find it tough to invest a high pick on TE's since they go over the middle and get hit a lot. More likely to get hurt
5.kicker at 5? Really? Kicker is last pick in every draft no matter what.
6. Ravens d at 6? Why draft a defense this early when they are so hit or miss? No no no no. Defense should be a round 10 or later at the earliest
7. how did Moreno drop that far? But even still he is garbage. Gets hurt too much and the Broncos suck.
8. Derrick Mason is 37, how good can you expect him to be at 37?
9. Collie is an ok pick.

One main key. If you want to be good at fantasy football. You have to forget that your a Ravens fan and draft who is best for you. Ravens will win games. They won't be offended if you draft Mike Wallace over Boldin. Maybe next year will be better for you

[DevilsLuck]

yeh thanks for the honest output people given me alot to think about and plan for next years fantasy draft. I will keep all this in mind. Go Ravens!!!

stay active in free agency. Last year I picked up Peyton Hillis off of free agency and the team I initially drafted was completely different at the end of the year. Look for injuries, because anything can happen.

[/quote]
While I feel like Moreno comes with his own share of risk, calling him garbage is definitely an overstatement. Out of the 13 games played, he was in double digits 8 times. Of those games, he averaged over 16 points per contest. While he did miss 3 games due to injury, and played injured to end the season, he still amassed 1,151 yards and 8 TDs. All this while being only 26th in carries, given that the Broncos were 7th in the NFL in pass attempts. Personally, I believe it's his unsettled situation that warrants looking at other RBs first. John Fox being vocal about having a run oriented offense could give him major upside, but that depends on whether another RB will be brought in via FA, and whether Tim Tebow will be the starter. Although Moreno was playing hurt during Tebow's 3 starts, he averaged a mere 6 attempts per contest. With that being said, Tebow could also take away Moreno's goal line opportunities. But if there isn't another marquee RB on the roster, and Orton remains the starter, I don't at all see how Moreno shouldn't be considered as a solid #2 RB, or a very good flex starter, especially considering how far he's been falling in Mocks.

Well before I would have agreed with you. But it looks like the Broncos want a rb in free agency. I think it is just going to hurt Moreno. I mean you can have Moreno all you want, but I'm just not touching him. You may be right, I'm just not risking it.

I agree. Somebody did an analysis between Frank Gore and Moreno. Moreno was the more explosive back, averaged more yards per carries and catch. Had more TDs relative to the numbers of carries. The only difference are the amount of touches. Moreno is a talented guy. He often gets dogged while a guy like Gore gets a lot of praise. Both are injury prone.

If the Broncos don't sign another back. Moreno should be a steal for where hes currently being drafted.

I don't typically draft until late August, so I'm sure that his situation will be a lot clearer then. As of right now though, I'd stay away from him as well. He's a sleeper, but I'd much rather target a surefire feature back.

I'm with you on that one, although I wouldn't say that he's more explosive. However, if we're comparing them solely off of their 2010 numbers, Gore was able to finish with 1,305 yards in 11 games, while Moreno had 1,151 in 13 games. Granted, Moreno saw a lot less carries. Like you've mentioned, what Moreno has working for him is his Draft status. If he can keep his 2011 average similar to his 2010 average, that being just over 88 yards per game and a TD in every other contest, it wouldn't be unreasonable to set his ceiling at 1,500 all purpose yards.

B-

You have decent starters, I'm not sold on your depth. Definitely need to work the waiver wire to replace McGahee, Woodhead, and possibly Julio Jones. I'd also look to upgrade my defense if I were you, the 49ers were good 2 years ago, now not so much. You could do a lot worse though.

i got mcgahee 3rd to last round, you dont think he'll get some carries in fox's run first system with an almost rookie qb?

[RayRiceFan27]

Heres another Draft I just did, I was picking last in the draft:

A Rodgers - 1
Andre Johnson - 2
Matt Forte - 3
Steven Jackson - 4 (both Forte and Jackson will be a matchup pair for me on who will have the better week)
Jeremy Maclin - 5
Eli Manning - 6
Chicago D - 7
Dustin Keller - 8
V Shiancoe - 9
Kenny Britt - 10 (I feel he'll do well with Hasselbeck at QB)
Julio Jones - 11 (I dont pla to start him till later on the season if he does well, mainly a Bye week replacement)
Matt Bryant - 12

So I take it it went. 1) Vick 2) AP 3) Rice (you)?

I think Willis isn't actually a bad flier now that he's in Denver. Fox likes to use two headed monsters. Your draft was 'eh. I like the pickup of Lynch and Jones on your bench. I was very high on Breaston when a Cardinal, now as a Chief I think he struggles to find a role.

Think Fitzy is a pretty good backup QB, but I got a bit worried when Brad Smith came to town. Could steal some goaline type package plays.

Good spread though. And at least you didn't play the homer. I don't know if I'd pass up CJ and Foster for Rice though.

[/quote]

The main reason (and only really)I went so early for a backup QB was becasue of the number of positions. In the league Im in it goes QB, WR, WR, RB, TE, DST, and K, with 5-6 Bench players. It was also a 10-12 man league, so I figured there would still be good RB and WR in the later rounds so I could get a good backup QB early. If this was a larger league with more positons I would have waited farther into the draft. I felt I could take a chance early though.

[Ed_Reed20]

Just wrapped up a 12-team mock(I had the 9th pick) that I feel fairly good about. I wanted to know what you guys thought of it. I broke my rule of waiting on QBs, and drafted a backup QB a little early, but I was drafting with Romo's QB-drive ESPN league in mind.

Round 2 - [b]Darren McFadden[/b]

That's a dilemma I have sometimes. If you get a pick in the late first there just aren't many options to feel good about. But Rodgers is sitting there. For a QB league the Rodgers/Bradford pair are good picks.

Its not bad, but its not great. There is definitely a lot of potential in that roster but there seems to be a lot of risk as well.

I loved Manningham as a #3 guy is good. He was a #2 type guy on my radar before Steve Smith came back. I love Felix, think he can be a steal if the Cowboys offense explodes. But we also know that he hasn't exactly blown the lid off.

Good job making sure you got Bush to back up McFadden. Not only he is insurance but he can also be a filler if need be.

And you'd need to see how Lewis would play out as the only TE on your roster.

Agreed on your second sentence. I can't say I'm proud of having Jones as my RB2, but he and a number of RBs on the team could have high-end RB2 weeks if the cards fall their way.

Smith's injury could sideline him for the first month of the season, which is just another reason to I feel really good about Manningham this year.

I actually contemplated drafting a TE2 instead of Hunter.

[Ed_Reed20]

Just did another one. Some guy took Rogers and Peyton with his first two picks, Flacco in the 9th, and Tebow in the 11th.

You can't feel bad about Gates in the 4th. That seems to be where he normally goes in 12 team mocks. There is a report though that Gates' foot is still an issue and started TC on the PUP. [url="http://www.nctimes.com/sports/article_1d851f92-efb7-55a4-966e-f27b8962ebe5.html"]My link[/url]. I was really hoping the extra time would've helped. I am a bit worried. But if he plays, its like having a WR1 in the TE slot.

White is a beast and it seems like you got him in the mid to late 2nd round. That's a great place to grab him. Then you followed it up by cementing your WR core with Williams.

Charles will be a solid contributor. F Jackson and R Williams will also be playable at the #2. But RB doesn't have much depth at all.

I love Mike Thomas. But with grabbing White, Williams and Boldin I might have looked to bolster the RBs a bit more instead there first (ofcourse depends who was available).

So with FF griding up for a go, I figured I'd make this thread for everyone to just post their Drafts and get Graded or for others to offer suggestions/hints/advice. I recently did a IDP draft with another group I am in, and heres how my draft went, rounds I pick them are listed to the right:

QB: Matt Schaub - 2
RB: Jamal Charles - 1
RB: Jahvid Best - 4
WR: Desean Jackson - 3
WR: Wes Welker - 5
WR: Malcom Floyd - 8
WR: Hines Ward - 12
TE: Zack Miller - 6
TE: Aaron Hernandez - 14
DT: Haloti Ngata - 9
DT: Kyle Williams - 22
DE: Jared Allen - 11
DE: John Abraham - 18
LB: Patrick Willis - 7
LB: Ray Lewis - 10
LB: David Harris - 23
CB: Terrell Thomas - 13(auto pick, I was eating dinner)
CB: Antoine Cason - 19
CB: Nate Clements - 24
CB: Tracy Porter - 26
S: Troy Polomalu - 15
S: Ed Reed - 21
K: Robbie Gould - 25
P: Brian Moorman - 30
Coach: Colts - 20

Bench:
Marc Bulger - 16
Danny Amendola - 17
Bryant Johnson - 27
Tandon Doss - 28
Richard Marshall - 29
Darren Sproles - 31
Jordan Shipley - 32
Jacob Tamme - 33
Reggie Bush - 34
Kendall Langford - 35
Jimmy Smith - 36
Brian Orakpo - 37
Rey Maualuga - 38
Robert Ayers - 39
Jairus Byrd - 40

How do you guys think I did, grade, or any suggestions? There were maybe more than half the people actually picking with the rest auto picking, around 12 teams all in all.

yea not a fan of the shauab move either...and for me personally i would say charles is too risky in the first just bc of the monster schedule they play, but who knows maybe jon baldwin will help open things up for him

A bunch of people (really just three) were talking a bunch of smack about my draft. Personally I thought it was good, and really only one of them had a really good draft (although the dude had no depth). I just want to know if I'm wrong or they are. I thought it was a pretty good draft, even if one or two of my picks were trade bait.

[color=#454545][font=arial][size=2]1. Jamaal Charles (KC - RB)
2. Darren McFadden (Oak - RB)
3. Vincent Jackson (SD - WR)
4. DeAngelo Williams (Car - RB)
5. Brandon Marshall (Mia - WR)
6. Cedric Benson (Cin - RB)
7. Marshawn Lynch (Sea - RB)
8. Joe Flacco (Bal - QB)
9. Kellen Winslow (TB - TE)
10. A.J. Green (Cin - WR)
11. Dustin Keller (NYJ - TE)
12. Sam Bradford (StL - QB)
13. Torrey Smith (Bal - WR)
14. Neil Rackers (Hou - K)
15. Dallas (Dal - DEF) [/size][/font][/color]

12-Team? If it is, its pretty good. Your loaded at RB. Your starting WR is very good (bench is so-so). You got a good 1-2 punch at QB. Same with TE.

I would say Torrey is a bit of a reach right now. He is more like waiver wire material for the time being. Also what's with the kicker in the 14th! Always last.

Yea, looking at it again I'd replace Torrey with MSW if he was still there or someone else. I just almost missed my pick. Also, I don't know why I chose Rackers. I think I'll end with D because I wanna grab Cincy D. They have some good players and open up against the Browns, so then I'll play the wire.

Also, I have big hopes for Green. Dude is the #1 reciever.
