Critique My Team/Draft

matt ryan, good team, has a chance, just not a fan of ten team leagues, everyone is good in a ten teamer. Has a chance to win it all, just need to win the bye weeks and some luck. Bey

Seems like a pretty solid, balanced team. Hopefully Dez Bryant can keep his head on straight.

I hate the thought of picking Steven Jackson. Seems like they don't use him as much as they used to

When did you draft Ryan?

ttwarrior1 · 07-31-12, 09:34 PM

id say round 8

rsnnh12 · 07-31-12, 09:52 PM

Good call, TT. Round 8. Went Calvin, Graham, McFadden, Jackson, Bryant, Maclin, Martin, Ryan. I think my team has lots of upside, with Calvin, Graham, and Jackson hopefully providing the very consistent week to week scoring. Need McFadden to stay healthy, or Ahmad Bradshaw or Fred Jackson to get hurt to be incredibly confident in my team. I think Ryan can get 4,400/35+/14 this year

Agreed. His line is having injury problems already I think too. He is pretty consistent tho, plays through pain, and is an all around good guy/dedicated player. Don't have to worry about suspensions or lingering injuries and he takes very good care of himself day-to-day. Should be good for 1,100/7 or so, with tremendous upside to beat that IMO

looks good same issue Dez bryant makes me nervous

BigDeem5 · 08-01-12, 12:04 AM

Hate McFadden as lead back, too injury prone.

Love Matt Ryan, He only improves this year in my opinion. Nice draft pal.

Disagree on Ryan. Projecting Atl to have a down year.

seems like u got a balanced team

Wulfman14 · 08-01-12, 08:33 AM

mcfadden will get numerous carries this season. i dont think carson palmer has anything spectacular left . i dont even see my raiders winning 7 or 8 games this season

I would have gone with a running back in round 2 instead of Graham, unless Mcadden was your top ranked back available in round 2, in which case he was steal in round 3. I still hate taking a tight end that high though.

rsnnh12 · 08-01-12, 02:46 PM

The RBs left at my pick in the 2nd were Charles, Adrian Peterson, Demarco Murray, McFadden, Lynch, TRich, Turner, Steven Jackson. Gronk had already been taken. I went with Graham in the 2nd because he should dominate the TE position (along with Gronk) with no one really close. Having a guy that dominant compared to others at his position is very important IMO, and with all of the available RBs having fairly big question marks (other than Murray), I figured it was smarter to take an elite guy versus gambling on an RB recovering from an injury. I knew at least a couple of those guys would fall to me in the 3rd, and I would take 1 then. Jackson pretty much fell into my lap in the 4th. I consider all of that group of RBs on the same tier right now, with Charles and McFadden having top 3 RB potential if they can stay healthy. More than happy to get the best WR in the game, a guaranteed top 2 TE, and then an RB from the 2nd/3rd tier like I got.

Also, I think Doug Martin could be huge this year, and CJ Spiller/David Wilson are playing behind guys coming off injuries. If either starter goes down, my guy becomes instantly startable. I tried to hedge the risk of DMC as much as possible. Hopefully it pans out

Thanks for the input, everyone. Will make sure to hit everyone with points each day. Don't have much use for them anyway. Any areas I should improve on/upgrades to make? Trade a backup RB and Dez/Maclin for a safer starting RB?

Only issue I see is TD production from the RB position. You might be able to get 15-18 total TDs from them while other teams will get 15-18 from a single back.

don t for get that peyton mannin and philip rivers are in the afc west also.
