I'll have to catch up on commenting later but wow what a QB run- glad I went Ryan now. And Johnson and Jackson look like nice bargains where they are.

Danny · 08-22-2012, 09:43 PM

He picks Rhett Bomar

Scoobz0202 · 08-22-2012, 09:44 PM

Where does that fall on your value chart, Danny

Danny · 08-22-2012, 09:47 PM

Bomar is off the charts

Scoobz0202 · 08-22-2012, 09:51 PM

I am not a fan of picking in the middle. Combined with this being the least amount of time I've put into football and fantasy football during the offseason in about five years and I have the start of a team that I dislike.

Rivers

sterlingice · 08-23-2012, 07:38 AM

4.9 RB Marshawn Lynch, SEA

I'm not convinced that what we saw last year is what to expect this year as opposed to the previous 3. But there's not much competition for the job and at late round 4, he seems like a bargain.

SI

rafini · 08-23-2012, 07:51 AM

Lynch was going to be one of my picks. This should be interesting since I have both of their QBs ...

4.10 WR Greg Jennings, GB
5.1 WR Hakeem Nicks, NYG

sterlingice · 08-23-2012, 07:56 AM

Ok, you made this a little tougher on me. I had 2 players on my list and you took neither. A good problem to have, I suppose

Butter · 08-23-2012, 08:52 AM

I thought you were deciding between Jordy and someone else, not Mathews. I don't have any faith in either that or Trent Richardson's knee, so I am not drafting them. But if round 6 comes around and Trent is still on the board, maybe.

Danny · 08-23-2012, 08:53 AM

5.4 Victor Cruz WR, NYG

I was deciding between Matthews and Jordy so you did pick the other on my list. I had a list of Matthews, Jennings, and Nelson after going with Lynch and Jennings went off the board. At the end, I went with the "you know, if there's any hope he can stay healthy, he's a big find this low"- he's one of the few backs in the league that could also be a 3 downer with little competition and those are so rare nowadays. Also, I think there are so many WRs out there worth points that I figured I could wait a little longer. Tho I think last year will prove to be the high water mark for offense and we'll start heading the other direction this year.

As for Richardson, I think busted knee and broken clavicle are two completely different injuries. Matthews should be completely healed of the clavicle by week 4 and there shouldn't be any recurrence. The problem with him is that he could shatter like glass on the next play from scrimmage even once healed.

I could be totally set at RB with a pair of bargains or I could also have two completely awful backs on my team if Lynch becomes the 2008-10 model and Matthews is the second coming of Fred Taylor.

Danny picking up Marshall and Cruz in the last pair looks really good.

After about round 6 or 7, I'll throw out notes about how everyone looks to me if I have time

I was eyeballing Cruz big time, so it was a massive disappointment to lose him the pick before I went.

That said, I am not unhappy to now have Steve Smith.

Yeah, but getting those guys in the fifth and sixth round is quite impressive. I need WRs far more than RBs, but I was eyeing both of these guys anyway. Good job.

6.5 Eric Decker WR DEN

Not the best value, but I want him and not willing to wait.

Chief Rum · 08-23-2012, 12:46 PM

6.6 Percy Harvin, WR MIN

Chief Rum · 08-23-2012, 12:49 PM

After Masked cleanly swept up either of the starting RBs left whom I was interested in, I was left to hoping Harvin would fall to me. I really like getting him at this point in the draft, since he does so much, and I am expecting that offense to improve as Ponder gets more comfortable.

Scoobz0202 · 08-23-2012, 12:50 PM

Yea, I was deciding between Decker and Harvin and while I like Harvin I am onboard the Manning-Decker train.

My team is uninspiring. Hopefully I surprise myself.

I like Decker, too, better than Thomas in that offense. But I have Manning himself. I didn't think it would be wise to make not only Manning, but also Decker subject to Manning's health on my one team. It is bad enough I have big injury risks in Manning and Vick at QB.
