The Rate My Draft Thread

[flaccopoe]

I keep getting low draft numbers...

[flaccopoe]

With the 9th Draft Pick in a 10-man League, I assembled:

 

QB: Newton, Flacco

WR: Austin, Decker, Shorts, Smith, Amendola

RB: Morris, Bush, Ball, Pead

TE: Graham

D: DEN, AZ

K: Hauschka

You need RB help. Try and trade a WR plus one of your RBs for a better RB.

My RBs are on point!  Morris and Bush are stars, Ball and Pead should get some decent work in timeshares.  All of them have different bye weeks, so I'll have at least 3 RBs a week to choose from.

[flaccopoe]

I should mention that I got the steal of the Draft in Flacco.  Snatched him in the final round!  He plays BUF when Cam is on his bye, so I should AT LEAST break even on the week that I have to start my QB2.

We do a keeper league, I am keeping Calvin Johnson and drafting out of the 7 spot. Hence why I took Calvin in my first round in this draft.

 

Round: 1

** (7) Hangin' with  Mr. Cooper - Calvin Johnson WR


Round: 2

** (18) Hangin' with  Mr. Cooper - Jimmy Graham TE


Round: 3

Round: 7

** (79) Hangin' with  Mr. Cooper - Daryl Richardson RB


Round: 8

This is a PPR league. Obviously running backs aren't my strength but I have some PPR monsters in Megatron, Graham, Cobb and Nelson. Giovanni Bernard was just missed when I took Stevie Johnson.

 

If this was my "real" draft, I'd trade one of my wide outs for a better RB.

[Sizzlebshu]

Picking 9th
Andrew Luck (RG3 went one pick before me.... as a backup...to peyton manning...)
Foster
Sjax 
Roddy White
Andre Johnson
Hakeem NIcks
Rob Gronkowski (6th round) 
Baltimore Def
Phil Dawson

Depth 
Michael Vick
Julius Thomas (fred davis went one pick before me)
Justin Blackmon
Michael Floyd
Chris Ivory 
D-Will

Thoughts - I drafted an insane starting lineup. The only problem is the talent that fell to me of course creates some suicide week scenarios (6 and 8. I feel Vick will be able to keep me afloat at QB week 8 and hopefully some receiver will pan out for weeks 6 and 8 to use as a flex. RB wise I feel im fine in that department for Foster's and Sjax's bye weeks. I really wish I coulda handcuffed Foster with Tate but he was reached on. I have a feeling this will be like 2011 where Foster will be fine and still get his 20 touches a game. So to sum up, if I can get through two weeks and get gronk back I should dominate.

I would def still try to upgrade your runningbacks and move either cobb or nelson for one. I'd probably try Cobb and either Lacy or Richardson for a guy like Chris Johnson

It's ppr, no way I'm trading Cobb. Probably trade Jared Cook for Gio

I would try to trade for a RB, but your team is very strong at WR. Maybe package Nelson and Cook for a guy like David Wilson or Lamar Miller?

 

Nelson could have a great season, but I wouldn't say he is a PPR guy. He is more of a big play threat.

Getting Gronk that late is unfair lol. Gotta hope that your team stays healthy (AJ, Nicks) because your WR depth is poor.

Yea I was like really? Foster at 8 and Gronk in the 6th? Okay just hand me the league why don't you. Health is a concern of course, but I think I am relatively okay. I coulda used some more receiver depth, but given the talent that fell to me I couldnt pass up on it for depth guys.

Nelson could have a great season, but I wouldn't say he is a PPR guy. He is more of a big play threat.

If this was in fact my team, I probably wouldn't make any trades until after week 1. I do have 2 starting running backs and foster might lose a bit of touches to Tate

I doubt Foster loses touches to Tate. Tate may have value similar to Turbin did on the Hawks (ie he will run up the score), but Foster will still get his so long as he plays

Just having starting RBs in a 10 team league isnt that great. Both of those RBs are #2 or #3 fantasy backs which means almost every week your points totals at RB will be significantly lower than your opponents. Maybe your WR production is good enough to make up for that, but I would still try to get better at RB. There certainly is no harm in waiting a little bit and seeing what you have after a couple of weeks.

It's PPR and it's a 12 person league. 

[usmccharles]

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

It automatically selected him bc i exited out after the pick before.  TEs hardly score anything in this league and i waited till the very end.

I feel you.

If its 12 I feel a little better, I'd still like to have better RBs though.

We all would!  Except this one guy in a league of mine that drafted Rodgers with #1 pick.

10 team league start 3 WR/ 2RB 

 

Russell Wilson

Demaryius Thomas

Marques Colston

James Jones

Doug Martin

Stevan Jackson

Rob Gronkowski

Baltimore Def

Phil Dawson

 

Bench

Ahmad Bradshaw

Josh Gordon

Alshon Jeffrey

Greg Olsen

Isaac Redman

Ronnie Hillman

 

Only thing I really hate is that I have James Jones as a receiver. I am okay with Colston as a #2 despite Tampa's improved secondary. Josh Gordon will hopefully pan out and replace Jones (should he not work out)

Great depth!  James Jones should do even better this season, without Jennings and injuries from Nelson and Cobb.

Ugh, These running backs are very few are far between but I can't justify passing on Johnson for CJ1k and that vulture situation in TEN or  passing on Brady for McFadden. Hopefully Gronk is only out first 2 games.

Great depth at RB and WR!  Your K & D are mouthwatering!  Trade Wright for Finley, you need a safety for Gronkowski.

I love the idea of Gronk and Jimmy on same team but you might have to shop Gronk for a RB. Or Shop Eifert after he blows up week 1.
