Hi,

 

like everyone else, I've got a draft coming up, 7 teams as of right now, maybe a couple more. Draft order is TBD. No keepers from last season.....there was no last season. In an attempt to even out the scoring between positions in this 1 QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 1TE, K, DL, DB, 6 Any, league, the administrator/commish has imposed the following scoring:

 

Rushing/Receiving/Passing TD = 6

Rushing 20yds = 1

100 yd rushing game = 1

Receiving 20 yds = 1

100 yd receiving game = 1

Passing 50yds = 1

250 yd passing game = 1

Int = -2

Fumble lost = -2

 

So, my question is: with passing TD's worth 6 instead of the usual 4, and rushing 20yds = 1 instead of the usual 10yds = 1, what does this do for the prospect of drafting quarterbacks? Where should Peyton go? Where should the tier 2 and 3 QB's go?

 

I've done the math with the projected numbers, and it seems that just in terms of points, it should read 1. Manning, 2-4 LJ,LT,SA (in no particular order) and then 5 thru wherever, a bunch of other quarterbacks befor you get to RB #4.

 

What am I missing? I suppose that because the quarterbacks ranked 2-15 are pretty close, and we only need 1, that the value of these guys goes down and we should be drafting RB's and receivers (before QB #2) before we're scraping the bottom of that barrell. But still, what about peyton?

 

Thanks

You can't base your rankings on pure points gained. Your rankings should be based on relative value. That means you need to take into account position scarcity and scoring system. Because a lot of QBs are worth roughly the same amount of points, they actually have less value because you can pass on one and get a player of similar value much later in the draft.

 

Almost regardless of scoring system, you should be drafting a RB in the first round of your draft. Based on 6 points per passing TD, Manning may be worth an early 2nd round pick, but anything before that is reaching and will come back to haunt you later in the draft.

 

Drafting is about much more than "who will score the most points this upcoming season."
