Draft a Franchise: Discussion Thread

Greg Jennings and Hines Ward are not considered great receivers?

Apparently neither are Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.. All just "rims" and not the "engine".

As I said those are nice pieces to have. Once you have Rodgers and Ben those are nice pieces to help them along. But if Jennings or Hines ward or Cobb or Nelson or Holmes or mason or boldin etc go down with injury those teams are still Super Bowl teams. If Aaron or Ben or joe in our case or Eli etc go down those teams are totally finished.

I disagree, Boldin was a huge part of the teams SB run last year. If he went down with injury last year I don't think they would have won it. Also Hines Ward was an even bigger part of that Steelers Super Bowl XL run.

And if Calvin Johnson goes down the Lions are an 0-16 again... WRs and CBs can be huge especially ones that double as returners. Also if Holmes went down Ben wouldn't have won the Superbowl... Just sayin.

easternshore is on

Thanks. Back in the day I used to live by the principle of what's mine is mine, and now I've matured from that.

 

Curious where the draft tracker/BPA list is? That would make a huge difference between going P. Freddie Kruger v Titus Young

Ummm... What?

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Hey, how come you don't make your custom title yet instead of Hall of Famer.

 

Should be titled: Husky outside & Creamy Inside

 

Got a laugh out of this 

[ravensdan]

I'm not saying receivers are completely irrelevant. They are nice to have to help out your qb especially if he is sub par such as stafford or dalton. But I completely disagree that these top notch qbs need them to win and they would have swung any of those games you mention.

Here's another interesting fact supporting my argument for picking up wideouts later on. The only positions that will move a line in Vegas if they are injured are
1. Quarterback
2. Center

Let's ask you this question. Who would be favored in this playoff matchup.

Tony romo/Marques colston vs Julio jones/Carson Palmer

[easternshore97]

Ummm... What?

Who are the 24 players that have been taken already?

Julio/Palmer...Romo will manage to throw away the game.

I'd take Carson Julio mainly cuz I think Carson is extremely underrated and Julio is a beast... Also I'm pretty sure the line in a lions game changes if Megatron is hurt. I could be wrong just a guess.

17-24 aren't in order... Not sure if that matters or not

I have heard that about the Vegas lines from one of the Vegas guys that comes on cowherd once a week. I suppose we don't know for sure that is true.

You can build your team as you like and I will also admit that this late the difference between Julio and Bradford is not nearly as great as the difference between luck and Calvin.

I understand the value of a QB don't get me wrong (After all I did take Cam Newton over some elite players at other positions) I just think WRs and CBs are incredibly important as well.

[SecretAgentMan]

I took AJ because he, like Megatron, can make a QB. The second best WR in the NFL IMHO. He's DOMINATE
