Fantasy Football Draft Question

Speedy88 · 08-16-13, 01:39 PM

Personally, I think it is very hard to pre-determine which positions to draft in which round. It really depends on who falls where. However, I'd highly recommend taking a RB in the first round. Whatever you do, make sure you get at least 2 RB's in the first 3 rounds. Good luck on your draft.

Trent should be huge in Norv's new offense. If he holds up and plays 14-15 games, he should be a top 5 RB this year. Health is the main issue with Trent.

I know it's hard to predetermine what positions are going to be picked during what round, but would you normally pick up a WR1 in the 4th round or do you do it earlier? I was thinking of going RB RB QB WR for the first 4 picks...

It all depends on what is available at the time

do some mocks, I love stevan ridley if u can get him round 2 in this format.

Id go rb rb for sure

You need some wr that will get td, some guys like A Brown is great for ppr but not so much for non ppr.

Wr is deep, and so is qb. If you can start 3 rb, going 3 rb wouldn't even be too bad and you can go wr wr and then take A Luck, or Stafford and if all else fails. Romo will likely be the 12 th qb taken and then u can draft C palmer or a jay cutler later on

RB RB WR QB

WR and QB's are deep. If you wait until round 3 or 4 for your #2 RB you may e fukked imo.

normally, id say go heavy RB...but you are not in a normal league. the 6 pts per passing TD and 20 yards per pt for qbs is huge...you are going to want to get an elite qb in this league because the ones that are throwing for multiple tds are gonna carry you.

Draft is in about 2 hours....think I'm gonna go RB RB WR WR and try and pick up a Tony Romo or Stafford like player in 5th round or so. However, if I get to round 2 and Brees Rodgers or Manning are available, I'm scooping them up.

With RB TDs being worth 7 points I definitely think you should try to go RB with your first 2 picks at least. That's pretty heavy RB scoring.

Ok so the draft ended up being a 14 person 15 round league. We only get 5 free transactions so the draft matters more this year. I had the 12th pick. A little side note, people were picking up RB's and WR's like crazy in rounds 3 and 4 as well as top QBs so everyone I wanted to get was gone by the time it came back to me. We also have where the total transaction costs are paid to highest scoring D, most points scored, and best overall record split 3 ways so that's why I picked up a D earlier than normal. Here's my team so everyone can talk crap, it wasn't as easy as it sounded... Round 1 T. Richardson
Round 2 P. Manning
Round 3 R. Cobb
Round 4 D. Murray
Round 5 S. Smith (CAR)
Round 6 A. Boldin
Round 7 Denver D
Round 8 J. Finley
Round 9 B. Tate
Round 10 A. Jeffery
Round 11 P. Dawson
Round 12 C. Palmer
Round 13 R. Broyles
Round 14 B. Pettigrew
Round 15 J. Rodgers
