Im drafting #6 in a 12 team draft. what should my strategy be?

[GunShard]

A must first pick has to be the following players: Rodgers, Calvin Johnson, Foster, Mccoy, Rice.
Unless you fail to get any of these players.

[ChalkyDog]

Just did two more mocks in ESPN - 12 team. McFadden is all the rage this week, and is now being taken in the first rd. In both my draft he was taken ahead of Chris Johnson.

Julio Jones was always available in the 3rd rd of my drafts.

There is an insane run on WR in rds 3-6, as a result there is a lot of value at RB in rds 7-9.

My prefered drafting strategy at 6 pick or better is: RB, RB, Best player available (which is sometimes RB)

Good luck, bud!

as of the past few days ryan isn't going late any longer

Mock away at fantasyfootballcalculator.com,have backup plans and try different stuff

[RockBottom]

MJD will be an excellent value pick this year whether its the late 1st or 2nd. Only non-RB id take in the first is Brady.

No.I would stay far away from a holdout.

[LT Profits]

I would take a chance on Ryan Matthews before I would on MJD. Jones-Drew will be this year's Chris Johnson (CJ 2011 that is).

doing a mock draft right now....put myself in the 6th pick only difference is, its a 14 team league. my first three picks were Calvin Johnson, Marshawn Lynch and AJ Green.

weird draft though, Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Newton and Stafford all went in the first round, i highly doubt that will happen tonight in real draft.

in the 2nd round when my pick came around the only RB left were Jamal Charles (didnt wanna take a chance on him coming off that injury) than Lynch, Sproles, Steven Jackson, Ahmad Bradshaw etc

[zoo youk]

just picked up Ahmad Bradshaw in the first round

so far its

Megatron
AJ Green
Marshawn Lynch
Ahmad Bradshaw

will go QB next. if i can get these type of players out of the 6th position in the real draft tonight ill be thrilled. i should be able to considering its 12 team and 14. but all those QBs going in the first round of this mock, was strange

[zoo youk]

went Antonio Brown instead in the 5th. still plenty of solid QBs left that ill go after next pick

You can get ryan Mattews like in the 30's these days in mocks...

[k13]

Julio Jones never lasted past the 2nd round in any mock draft I did recently.

I'm stuck with #11th pick, LT, you seem high on Charles right?

[zoo youk]

alright boys here are the final results of the mock. grade it. pick #6

Megatron
AJ Green
Anontio Brown
Marshawn Lynch
Ahmad Bradshaw
Jermichael Finely
Ben Roethlisburger

how did i do for my first ever draft?

[Ghenghis Kahn]

don't take calvin johnson. you know he's on the cover of madden right?

[bobby heenan]

Could be wrong here...but Bradshaw has never carried more than 175 times in a season....foot and fumbling issues....I can see David Wilson being hard to keep off the field....Wilson is already getting raves for a blitz pickup made last night for David Carr ....the giants offense is a good one to have ownership in....but I wouldn't touch Bradshaw...who knows though

[convick]

What's the status with Lynch? He's a go for the full year? Thought there were rumblings of a possible suspension for the recent DWI arrest. Guess not.

The value with Bradshaw is not necessarily with the volume of carries/yards. He should be good for 10-12 TDs and that's nice production from a back. Some of these other backs people talk highly about like McFadden and SJax have 5-7 TDs a year it seems like. I know McFadden has low numbers because he's always injured, so I don't trust him wholly.

[ROFLcopter]

At #6 you are probably looking at Chris Johnson.

What do you guys think about Trent Richardson? Avoid?

[k13]

don't take calvin johnson. you know he's on the cover of madden right?

Plus no one has back to back 1600 yard or 16 td's seasons.

Only way to go is down.....

[zoo youk]

Calvin Johnson is on a different level best wr we have seen in years its not unthinkable that he would put up same numbers or better especially with titus young becoming a real threat that will free up CJ more

[LT Profits]

You can get ryan Mattews like in the 30's these days in mocks...

Right, which actually fortifies my point. I wouldn't take MJD in first three rounds.

[LT Profits]

Julio Jones never lasted past the 2nd round in any mock draft I did recently.

I'm stuck with #11th pick, LT, you seem high on Charles right?

I'd love Charles in second round, but at 11th overall it depends on what's out there. My own order after Big 3 is Chris Johnson, McFadden, Forte, Charles

[k13]

12-team mock draft, #11 pick, kind of weird. What do you guys think?

QB-Vick (5th round)
RB-Mcfadden
RB-A. Peterson
WR-P.Harvin
WR-S.Johnson
Flex-Ryan Matthews
TE-Jermicheal Finley

Still doing the rest....

That's kind of my order too, what about Peterson?

McFadden/Forte, Mcfadden/Charles combo??? Never had Chris Johnson come to 11th in 50 mock drafts.

Definatly a feast or famine team. Almost every player on your roster is a huge injury risk. Vick, AP, Matthews, Finley are all hurt right now lol.

If it were a big money league, you wouldn't want that many questionables.

[LT Profits]

That's kind of my order too, what about Peterson?

McFadden/Forte, Mcfadden/Charles combo??? Never had Chris Johnson come to 11th in 50 mock drafts.

AP is a waste this year, let someone else make the mistake of taking him early

[LT Profits]

And yes would love those combos

[Southern NJ]

And yes would love those combos

hey LT i know this may be asking alot, but i'm sure i couldnt but the only one but who knows maybe I am lol. I am doing most of my drafts next week, if you could put up your suggestions on who to take rounds 1 thru 2,like a pre ranking list of yours?

[LT Profits]

I have SBR drafts coming up so don't want to give away the store.

[bobby heenan]

I like Charles...I like kcs rushing schedule and their offensive line is looking good...added Eric Winston and 2nd rounder from Illinois...I just think Hillis is a much better value....b daboll loves Hillis and he can catch so he doesn't have to come off on 3rd down....I just think u may see some stretches with Charles where he might not see the field for a little while n it will be frustrating.....but he can still get it done sharing the load....like I said their schedule and o line shape up nice

K13... I love ap if u can get him in the 3rd....that's a swing for the fences move...he's a different animal.....I also love harvin....but I don't know if I like owning and depending on both ...always seems to scare me...can't remember the last time I owned a arid rb and receiver from the same club

[Southern NJ]

fair enough

[Ghenghis Kahn]

What do you guys think about Trent Richardson? Avoid?

even without his knee problems he was over-valued. i'd only get him if he's still available in late 2nd or early 3rd.

[zoo youk]

nobody graded my mock ;[ lol

[k13]

Not really fond of lynch, bradshaw or hamburger.

Bradshaw always goes late and jacobs is gone but for some reason no one wants him early, can he carry the load?
I took him in many mocks too because he's an obvious starter at RB.

you don't think Kendall Hunter is going to be getting split carries?

[k13]

People on Yahoo draft weird, first time I saw brady drop to #11 spot....

QB-Brady
RB-Forte
RB-Bradshaw
WR-P.Harvin
WR-D.Jackson
WR-A.Brown

Not sure about a team like that but these QB's get like 600 points basically like 3 rb's....

[zoo youk]

real draft goes off at 6. will post my squad.

[k13]

I would not touch the Niners backfield...
