Papes posted:Rice in the 4th? He was so bad last year, he's suspended 2 games, and we have no idea if he is even a decent fit in Kubiak's zone scheme. Rice at pick 48, but yeah. It was an RB heavy draft and I went QB/TE in the first 3 rounds. I like having the Raven's backfield, I think either way Kubiak will be a run heavy offense, and I was just trying out what I heard on CBS podcast to get Rice in round 5 and Pierce in round 8.

Rice there may have been a bit early but you wouldn't have got him on the other turn so I get that. Hard to really judge without seeing the rest of the draft. I don't think the Ravens running game (or offense in general) will be nearly as terrible so I'm not against Rice/Pierce. Anyways, your first 3 are solid (as long as Gronk is more AD than RG3) but your WRs and depth in general is poo poo unless all the question marks pan out. I'd argue there were at least 3-5 better teams than yours based on what I see there.

My first mock this year, I'm #12:  RBs could be the bane of my existence but I think Mathews and Gore will be capable and I'm willing to give Rice, and the Ravens in general, a mulligan from last year. After seeing the way it unfolded, I would have taken Cutler or Brady (probably Cutler) over Miller but I was expecting one of them to be available by the time it came back around and instead I had a choice between Kap or Rivers. Also, TE leaves a bit to be desired from a known product standpoint. Overall pretty content with it... there's only 1 or 2 teams that look like they could be better to me (assuming my rounds 4-7 picks aren't all entirely useless, anyways). Edit: oh, and I just put it on auto draft after Kniles Davis. Deer_fire fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Jul 27, 2014 |

Deer_fire posted:My first mock this year, I'm #12: In general I really like your strategy although I would have taken some different players (Ridley over Rice, Wright over Wayne) but this is more or less how I would draft out of the 12th spot. People are going to say your te and qb are weak, but unless you get a top player at either position they are extremely replaceable. You ended up with a pair of elite wrs and one of the strongest flexes you could ask for, which puts you in a good spot.

Ah gently caress, I wrote out a thoughtful post and accidentally deleted the tab. Long story short: I have no loving clue why Fiametta was drafted that early. My theory is the person was either scanning down deep and accidentally selected him or it was Tony Fiametta. I prefer the latter theory. Not a huge fan of my RBs, but at the same time, given my position, I'm more content with picking a grab bag of potential decent RB2s instead of reaching for somebody like Bell, Murray, Martin, Morris, or even Bernard over Green. I'm a *huge* proponent of taking RBs early but that only works when you're in a position to do so so you can't force it. Especially in today's pass first NFL. Re: QB, yeah like I said, in hindsight, I'd have gone Cutler over Miller. I thought Brady or Cutler would be available when it came back around but miscalculated. That said, don't think Kaep will be that bad. The 49ers offense is, on paper, probably the best it's been since he started. TE is definitely weak but I could see Green being a breakout type of player. He has great measurables... but so does Jared Cook. I'd have preferred Ertz or Bennett and hopefully stashed Green, but eh. I actually like Wayne a lot. He has been Luck's go-to from the beginning and even in .5 PPR, his catches do a decent job of making up for his lack of TDs. He's older but I think he's far enough removed from his injury that it won't be a huge effect. Appreciate all the feedback though. Gives me a decent amount to think about - especially the depth vs. starting argument.

I had my real draft yesterday. We had to draft early because of guys going back to school and poo poo. 12 team keeper league PPR. 2 keepers per team so 24 players were already off the board. I kept Jimmy Graham with my 2nd round pick and Alshon Jeffery with my 12th round pick. QB- Drew Brees* RB- Zac Stacey** RB- Shane Vareen WR- Alshon Jefferey WR- Torrey Smith FLEX- Bishop Sankey D/ST- Chiefs K- Empty for now B- Hakeem Nicks B- Anquan Boldin B- Steve Johnson B- Roy Helu B- Antonio Gates B- Andre Brown **I took Stacey with the 5th pick, only real notable back I passed on was Alfred Morris. I originally picked 3 but traded down 2 spots and picked up a higher 3rd round pick out of it. However, I was really hoping Brees would go in the first few picks so I could get Foster or Ball, but it didn't turn out that way, so I got stuck with Zac Stacy whom I'm not crazy about. * Butttttttttt I used my the pick I got to help me trade back into the 2nd round. Drew Brees kept falling, and frankly I was considering taking him in the first round, so when he was there mid-way through the 2nd I couldn't let him pass me up. I gave up picks 30 and 54 to get pick 20 and took him. My hope is Brees and Graham will win me some weeks just by being Brees and Graham.

Stacy is a fine RB1 in my opinion. In fact, your entire starting lineup is great. I hate your depth, however. If Sankey doesn't pan out, you have no one on your bench that I'd be comfortable with flexing every week. Nicks has the most promise, but it's hard to put any faith in someone with chronic foot issues. The rest of your bench has very low ceilings.

Zac Stacy's not a very good RB1 in PPR. In fact, if it's full PPR Vereen is likely to get you more points than Stacy this season And Antonio Gates shouldn't be drafted this year, but especially not if you have Graham. You'll never start Gates over Graham regardless of matchup.

Mason is still behind Benny Cunninhham so I'm not drafting scared of him stealing touches. And Gates was still a top 10 TE last year even with his decline in production. He's not gonna start over Graham for this dude, of course, but to suggest he shouldn't be drafted is foolish.

Papes posted:I highly doubt this. In 1 PPR it's certainly possible. Vereen had 16.9 ppg in 1 PPR last year. Stacy had 13.2. Of course, Stacy scored more total points since he gets more rushing attempts and rushing TDs and Vereen missed half the season to injury. But I don't foresee any huge change to either player's usage if both are healthy.

I'm not a fan of owning more than 1 TE unless you can flex one or you have large benches. And Gates certainly doesn't project as top 12 TE: he's a year older, Ladarius Green is a year wiser, and other players like Ertz and Kyle Rudolph have way more upside at the end of the TE1 range.

Yes it is 1 PPR for those of you discussing it. I think Vereen is going to be a monster this year in that format which is why I took him in round 4 (and, to me, him going in round 4 in a draft that already is watered down by 24 players is really good value). Antonio Gates was a 14th round pick. So I made that pick just based on the value. Alcohol played a role as well. My initial plan was to wait on a QB (Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick free fell in our draft. Tony Romo is always a good option too but as an Eagles fan I just can't do that) but when I saw a chance to trade up for Drew Brees in a 6 point per touchdown league, I would have been stupid to pass that up.

Don't get me wrong, I like Ladarius Green. But the kid's career never caught more than 4 receptions in a game, and has only broken 80 yards twice. He had 17 catches all last season. If you wanna crown his rear end, go ahead. But I still think Antonio Gates will be a big part of the Charger's offense this year.

I tried A Thing well two A Things: 1.12 Jimmy Graham, NO 2.1 Demaryius Thomas, Den 3.12 Toby Gerhart, Jac 4.1 Pierre Garcon, Was 5.12 Rashad Jennings, NYG 6.1 Marques Colston, NO 7.12 Trent Richardson, Ind 8.1 Stevan Ridley, NE 9.12 Dwayne Bowe, KC 10.1 Tom Brady, NE 11.12 James Jones, Oak 12.1 Carlos Hyde, SF 13.12 Matt Prater, Den 14.1 Cincinnati Bengals, Cin 15.12 Ryan Tannehill, Mia The things I tried: (1) TE/WR early, then a bunch of RB in the middle rounds. (2) Drafting K/DST in 13/14 instead of 14/15 to get a high end version of both. If nearly everyone goes K/DST in 14/15 then you can get about the same player in 15 you would get in 13. I was going to take Tannehill or Palmer as backups there and they were were still around in 15. I kind of like it, but I need some things to go my way for the RB situation. The only reason it worked is I somehow was able to go Graham/DThomas at the turn at 12, I think.

Marshmallow Blue posted:Yeah even at 1ppr AP still gets a good chunk of catches to boot. I cant believe he even fell to 6 Er not really. He's averaged around 30 the past 3 seasons (if you extrapolate out his late season knee shredding year) which is about his career average to boot. In full point PPR it's hardly shocking, though maybe a tad surprising, he would have dropped to 6. McCoy, Charles, Forte, Lacy (who's in a much better situation and wouldn't exactly be a shock at all if he outscored Peterson in either standard or PPR formats), Megatron are all totally defensible picks over Peterson in 1 PPR leagues. Hell, I'd argue D. Thomas and Graham are defensible over him in 1 PPR leagues as well... though probably not as much if you end up with an RB stable of Morris, Richardson, and backups/handcuffs. All that said, Norval does love to throw to his backs. Deer_fire fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Jul 31, 2014 |

Here's my mock from 12th pick in a 14 man standard scoring, 6pt passing. The Tyler Eiffert pick was auto drafted, I would have gone in a different direction. 1. Dez Bryant (Dal - WR) 2.

Matt Bryant (Atl - K) Thoughts? Edit: didn't see rashad Jennings as your round 5. My mistake.
