The Rate My Draft Thread

[The Oakland Cathedral]

How many TEs do you still have in your other league, 4?

I haven't traded anyone or cut anyone so I believe the number was 6 but I'll have to check.

Your RB situation is not pretty. It would be pretty if Mendenhall and Murray were coming off the bench. But given Mendenhall's injury past, not trustworthy at all. Murray - the jury will be out this year I suppose. He could come through in a big way.

[easternshore97]

In my first draft for 1 one of my 2 leagues (12 team league):

QB: Tony Romo

WR: Danny Amendola, Larry Fitz

RB: Doug Martin (was about to pull trigger on Beastmode but chose not to), Matt Forte (chose over Ridlay)

TE: Vernon Davis (not sure why I'm the only one that thinks he's the 2nd best TE in the league RIGHT NOW. Colin didn't have good chemistry with him at first. He was Alex Smith's go-to guy. He became Colin's go-to guy in the Super Bowl)

FLEX: Michael Floyd
D: Rams K: Garret Hartley

DE: JJWatt DB: Patrick Peterson LB: Lavonte David IDP: Derrick Johnson

Bench: Bryce Brown, Josh Gordon, Justin Blackmon, Jordan Cameron, Jay Cutler

 

I should be ok right?

The only thing about Davis is that the 49ers play him all over the place, so you'll have games where he has half of the team's receptions, and games where he blocks all day.

Oh ok. You think that changes with no Crabtree? Kaep/Davis looked very dangerous in the Super Bowl and I don't think that's only because Ray couldn't run with him.

That's true. I don't know a whole lot about the 49ers WR depth, but considering Boldin is one of their starters, Davis could see a lot more receptions, especially in the end zone, considering the lack of experience from the rest of the group.

Murray is a top 10 RB at full health.

Mendenhall always had the talent. Maybe a fresh start is needed. He should be involved a lot especially if Palmer falters. Good RB #3,

This league the WRs are more important than the RBs. Calvin got taken before Peterson.

I see. Now that I think about it, Callahan is the new OC there so he will make sure the run game is relevant. I was all about Mendenhall and then I saw something about him being dinged up.

Well, he did get hurt, but should be a solid RB #3 nevertheless

Verdict:

 

Do I have a chance with Drew Brees being so overpowering, or did I waste my money?

[NaveSenrag]

Breesus is good, but you're a bit weak at RB, ans you WR situation is a mess.

[Yatagarasu]

Yeah, I missed out on WRs when they were all taken way earlier than expected since the PPR system was high. I hope my underrated/sleeper WRs could put up some numbers while my RBs and Breesus provide majority of the points.

10 Team $$$ League. Snake Draft. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 1 RB/WR, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 DEF, 1 K. No PPR

 

Notes: 

- We could trade draft picks. I was originally #1 in snake, but traded up to #11 pick from #20 and got a bunch of middle rounders by trading down.

- Really wanted a Raven on my team (Tuck9 got picked right before me), so traded away Andre Johnson (5th) and Antonio Brown (8th) for Torrey Smith and Darren Sproles

 

QB - Stafford (7th)

RB - Peterson (1st), Forte (2nd), Bush (4th), Sproles (Trade), D Richardson (8th)

WR - Cobb (5th), Torrey (Trade), Garcon (7th), TY Hilton (9th), Alshon Jeffery (13th), Kenbrell Thompkins (15)

TE - Cook (10th), Gronk (6th)

K - Bullock (14)

Def - Stoolers (12)

 

I think it was pretty good, but I'm planning to trade Bush and Sproles to a RB needy team to get a Ridley-type player.. or package Cobb/Garcon and Bush/Sproles for a top-5 WR. Thoughts?

Great depth at WR, but really shaky at RB. I assume you went Morris/Green in the first two rounds?

Well.. Morris was the only good back left, and I knew I could get Ryan a few rounds later lol

Yeah, it's a PPR league. What WR should I drop? I think Kenny Britt has a lingering injury, not sure if he'll produce.

You are dangerously thin at rb. Especially with dmacs injury history. Drop britt for bell he will be a good starter later in the yr and I would try working a trade for a better hb in a package deal in the first 3 weeks if possible.

I picked up Isaac Redman for the time being, considering he's going to be starting for the Steelers out of the gate. Still gotta get a long term plan to possibly package McFadden and get him out ASAP.
