So as someone who knows nothing about the offensive rookies coming in, who's looking like good grabs?

Even if Luck sits in the 4th, he's going to be sitting with 300+ yards and probably 3TDs.

I'm at a complete loss with what I'm going to do with Ellington. I'm keeping Jeremy Hill for an 8th and can keep AE for a 10th but drat he's fragile. Apparently they've made the line better so maybe he'll have better blocking this year?

Assuming you have no better options I think AE is worth a dice roll at that price.

I need to go through my team and the draft from last year. Off the top of my head I have that Bryant kid in PITT for a 13th and Roethlisburger for a 10th, or Jordan Matthews for a 7th.

Correction, Bryant is a grown rear end man.

None of those other mans seem like a worthwhile keep.

It's been really tempting to keep Bryant for sure. Kid was a monster to close out the season. And going in with a RB2 (borderline RB1) and a good WR would put me in a good spot.

AE in the 11th is an amazing bargain. He's a starting RB with talent. Any starting RB with talent will be gone by the sixth round. Are you allowed to trade guys you kept as keepers?

Nope, no keeper trades otherwise I'd be packaging Hill and anyone of my Keepers for Luck in the 5th (6pts passing, 5 point bonus at 325yds).

It's basically pick 2 guys and you get a 1 round penalty for each year kept, 3 year contract, keep anyone drafted in the 6th or later (waiver pickups are a 13th).

Ellington would be a 3rd year guy, Hill is a 2nd year, Bryant and everyone else is a 1st.

6th is too rich for my blood, you can get less-flawed WRs in that range still. Unless he really pops in the pre-season, he's a sub-10th flier for me.

I love DMC because my league haaaaates him so he's always free. They buy in way too hard to the "injury prone" label. He filled in once for me during bye week hell or something and managed to throw a TD that game.

My gameplan is to fill an entire roster with players who are utilized in wildcat formation. Maybe I'll grab Dalton this year in case he makes any more retarded TD receptions.

Ummm, what?

Randle has good speed to attack a defense, and he may have an opportunity to prove himself with a larger role in 2015. Veteran Darren McFadden can be penciled in as the team's starter right now, but his injury history reads like Infinite Jest. If McFadden is hurt again, Randle could step in to start and produce RB1 numbers because of that incredible offensive line. Keep an eye on Randle on and off the field during training camp.

This is from the footballguys email. I feel like I've seen some of this guys work on rotoworld and it always gives me a good laugh.

If I'm keeping Peterson (no penalty, every keeper is the first round pick), and another top RB is left over (Lacy), I take him and run laughing and screaming and crying, right? Or do I go for a top WR / Gronk?

Ride Lacy and Peterson to the championship IMO but I'm still a big believer in RB being the most consistent position in fantasy.

E: In my 3 years of winning championships I had absolute stud RBs (last year my idiot league went nuts with WRs and QBs so I managed to get Forte/Murray/Bell and I rode those ponies all the way without breaking a sweat).

If your end of the season roster looks just like your draft roster, you hosed up because it means you didn't 1) make good waiver wire pickups and 2) didn't make any advantageous trades.

Or you drafted correctly to begin with :colbert:
