The Rate My Draft Thread

[SecretAgentMan]

Rian Lindell?  He just got cut by BUF.  Also, your TEs are a huge dice roll.

How is Jordan Cameron, a pretty solid TE who should be a red zone monster, a dice role?

What makes him solid, iyo?  Also, he plays for CLE, of all teams.

He's a good TE, especially since Gordon is suspended. Because Greg Little has no hands, Weeden will go to him. Especially in the Red Zone.

 

Not to mention, he plays on the Browns, they're going to be throwing a lot.

Weeden sucks, the Browns suck.  They rarely even get into the red zone.

Browns have a good defense and a really good RB. Not to mention a Stud WR that will be back week 3.

 

Weeden has looked better, and he has a good oline protecting him. Not to mention he has solid options in Bess as well.

 

They'll get into the red zone. Weeden has looked a little better, and they'll run that offense through Richardson, who's a stud btw.

 

They have a good team, question is, will Weeden step up.

Add on.

 

Not to mention, I completely forgot to add that Norv turner is now the OC there. Turner, who is a very good OC. This offense has a lot of passes thrown to the TE. See Antonio Gates.

 

Jordan Cameron is the hell of a lot better than whoever the backup TE in SD is.... So this is by no means a shaky pick

Knowing the Browns and the division they play in, they're bound to implode soon into their season.

A division with the weak Steelers? Who they should easily beat?

 

A team with a top 10 defense?

 

A team that has given Weeden, regardless of how bad he is, very good weapons to play with.

 

A team with good coordinators and solid coaches.

 

They won't make the playoffs, but they are by no means a bad team.

They've played in the best defensive division for years.  Even in the 5-fumble, 3 INT debacle victory they had against PIT last season, they only managed to score 20 pt.

And yes, Weeden has gotten better. He was only a (30 year old) rookie last season. I wouldn't be surprised if he became better. Especially with the new OC.

If there is an opportunity for a TD, chances are it's going to Gordon or Cameron. Both are good options

I expect Richardson will hog a lot of CLE's TDs.

Got my first trade offer.

 

He wants from me;

 

HB Alfred Morris

WR Mike Wallace

WR Julio Jones 

 

for

 

HB Rashard Mendenhall

WR Calvin Johnson

WR Miles Austin

HB David Wilson

 

On paper I like this trade.  You are upgraded your WR1 and splitting your RB1 for two RB2 (depth) and picking up an underrated Austin.  

 

But looking at your overall trade, I do not like.  McFadden and Wilson would be your starting RBs.  Your backups would be Mendenhall & Ryan Mathews.  So three of your guys are heavy injury risks.   Alfred Morris is stable and healthy RB1 which helps offset that problem.

Not to mention CLE has a bad history with TEs.

Ben Watson wasn't bad at all!

 

2010, Watson led the Browns in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.

Sad, but he was by no means bad.....

 

Kellen Winslow jr was good too.

 

 

They've had a bad history with QBs

I agree w/ SAM.  I have no problem with Cameron & Sudfeld.  Those two are about as good of a crapshoot as any other 2 TE combination from the TE Slosh pool.  

 

Cameron is a very athletic TE in a system w/ coaches who love the TE.

I think it would be a net gain for him.  1 star RB and WR and Wallace for 2 star WRs and a decent (albeit injured) RB2.

Jordan Cameron is a good fantasy TE.

7 team, 4 keeper QB league..

 

keepers: 

 

Rodgers

RG3

Martin

Foster

 

(traded 1st pick (5th overall) and a 6th for Foster & a 7th.

 

2nd. (10th) Demaryius Thomas

4th (24th) Vernon Davis

5th (31st) DeMarco Murray

7th (46th) T.Y Hilton

7th (47th) Danny Amendola

8th (52) Jay Cutler

9th (61) Giovanni Benard (IMO, steal of the draft. Got Doug this late last year. :) )

10th (66)  James Jones

11th (73) Justin Tucker

11th (75) Kyle Rudolph (OK. This might be the steal of the draft. Had him as my #3 TE going in and was extremely fortuante to get him here. After I chose him 2 people texted me and we were pissed off).

 

12th (80) Steelers defense

13th - "comp pick" - (82) Cowboys defense

 

 

Drafting at the time, I thought I played the board perfectly. I think I let the draft come to me and I'm betting on upside, while hoping for healthy players...

 

WR is my weakest position but if Hilton produces like I think he will, and Amendola stays healthy, I think it would be good enough to take me to the promise land. I have a bye week 1 which sucks, but fortunately I don't have to play D. Thomas against the Ravens. (I've never played anyone vs Baltimore & never will).

Loaded!  See if you can swap Bernard for a better WR and D.

[flaccopoe]

Jordan Cameron is a good fantasy TE.

 

We shall see.

[SecretAgentMan]

Loaded! See if you can swap Bernard for a better WR and D.

Dallas' Defense is going to be good.
Stud pass rushers in Spencer and Ware
Two very good DTs.
One of the best ILBs in the NFL in Sean Lee
Two good CBs in Claiborne and Carr.

Safeties are a little weak, but other than that Dallas should have a good defense

[Gordo52]

Thanks and naw, I got a serious fantasy man crush on him lol. If Amendola has a series of 3 or 4 games to start the season I'm going to try and trade him,Rudolph and maybe Murray to guy who owns Brady for hopefully Brandon Marshall.

I thought they were extremely weak at DT? Ratliff & Hatcher, but didn't Ratliff get in trouble this offseason?

I'm excited about Lee coming back and a new DC. I'm also thinking Dallas should control the clock a lot better this year which should help their D out a lot.

He got in trouble but not as badly as Brent.

He might go on PUP tho. But they do have a good starting lineup

3 good players for just WR?

[SecretAgentMan]

Dallas wont win the division bc Romo sucks.

But for my money they have the best defense there

[Gordo52]

And I only picked Dallas up for their week 2 matchup against the Chiefs (best one possible). If they impress it would be hard not to keep them but they would have to be my first waiver wire dump.

Defense can win you and lose you games in my league by the way. Every week last year at least one finished in the top 3 scorers of the week.

It's weird not having an "elite" defense like I've always had. I'm hoping the Steelers can create more turnovers this year, for my sake at least.

[Gordo52]

Wr2 is the only position (besides D) I'm lacking IMO. I think I got the depth to do that. I'm just really betting on Amendola staying heathy and the guy to accept that trade. Both of which I'm not confident about. This dude is the most bipolar fantasy player I've ever played with. Makes really good moves, and then makes horrible ones.
