**Round Six-Nine Commentary**

[Fumbleweed 426]

Riceman...good pick with Jones at this point in the draft.

 

You like a player that spent his whole career to date with the Bengals?

 

You don't say...

 

[RicemanX 20]

Riceman...good pick with Jones at this point in the draft.

Thanks! Golden Tate has not proven to me that he can be a consistent #1 guy. I expect Tate and Jones' numbers to be very similar this season.

[remote controller 133]

The Wheaton pick should pay off.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Great jones pick. Was hoping to land him in the 9th. Will out produce tate

[RicemanX 20]

Damn, was hoping to pick up Eli next round. Get that sweet tasty Eli/ODB combo.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Eli is underrated every year. It's unbelievable really and a prime example oh why I always wait on QB.

[remote controller 133]

Thanks! Golden Tate has not proven to me that he can be a consistent #1 guy. I expect Tate and Jones' numbers to be very similar this season.

190 receptions for 2200 yards your first two seasons on a team with Calvin Johnson on it isn't bad.

 

Marvin did okay in 2013 and 2015 for Cincy. 116 receptions for 1500 yards on a team with AJ Green on it. (He missed 2014) Marvin did have 4 more TD's

I like Ivory over Yeldon. This was the other pair I thought about locking up when I went Gordon/Woodhead. I needed 1 more running back, and Ivory will likely get the goal line stuff.

[Fumbleweed 426]

Did you pick Ivory in an effort to piss me off? I think so.

 

I wanted to go Yeldon-Ivory with my two picks here to simulate what you did with Gordon and Woodhead. I think it's the wave of the future in middle rounds of a redraft to grab both ends of a true backfield committee. In this case, I missed out on Ivory, but certainly targeted that. If I had gotten Ivory, I would have actually preferred him and Yeldon to Melvin Gordon and Woodhead. Moot point now, though.

[remote controller 133]

No Fumble, though I figured you might think that. I had him circled and ready to pick. The plan was in round 9, but worried Ray might grab him.

I liked that combo better also, but felt they might be harder to score both. With the hurry up offense they are gonna use, the back in for that series will likely stay put if the ball is moving.

[Dan 59]

I like the Markus Wheaton pick. I almost picked him over Duke; in fact, I had phone in hand to text Fumble to tell him to stop and change. But in the end, I wanted to ensure a better RB corps than years past, and Duke Johnson will outperform Crowell, I think, this year. I know receptions don't count, but the receiving yardage does. In best ball format, it's a no-brainer anyway.

 

I do feel just a little dirty after taking two Browns, but Barnidge in the 7th round, after 1000 yards the year before . . . hmmm. I guess I'll accept that in my #1 TE.

[JScott 20]

Nice pick, J. I am a big believer in Kevin White and will be targeting him this year.

 

ICEMAN

Thanks. Had a target on him for the last two rounds. Finally felt he wouldn't make it back to me so pulled the trigger.

[RicemanX 20]

Like Ivory more than Yeldon. My thought was that they signed Ivory with the belief that Yeldon can't be more than a 3rd down back.

[Fumbleweed 426]

Not saying Ray won't show up, but typically, he doesn't after 5 PM EDT, so we may be done for the day...

He cut out today at 1:39 eastern. He sometimes stays till 3:00

ICEMAN:

 

 

 

1.12- WR Dez Bryant, Dal.

 

2.01- WR Jordy Nelson, GB

 

3.12- RB DeMarco Murray, Ten.

 

4.01- WR T.Y. Hilton, Ind.

 

5.12- QB Drew Brees, NO

 

6.01- RB Jonathan Stewart, Car.

 

7.12- RB Giovani Bernard, Cin.

 

8.01- QB Tom Brady, NE

 

Killer trio of receivers and plenty of scoring from the Qb position. Just need Murray to man up in his new local and for Stewart to hold serve.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

For a team with the strength being WR, that trio scares me in a not so great way. But huge upside for sure

[remote controller 133]

Dan:

 

 

 

1.11- RB Lamar Miller, Hou.

 

2.02- WR Allen Robinson, Jax.

 

3.11- RB Latavius Murray, Oak.

 

4.02- WR Jarvis Landry, Mia.

 

5.11- WR Doug Baldwin, Sea.

 

6.02- QB Blake Bortles, Jax.

 

7.11- TE Gary Barnidge, Cle.

 

8.02- RB Duke Johnson, Cle.

 

It's gonna be easy to round this team out. I think lamar is going to do real well in Houston with Hopkins keeping the def. backfield honest. Very balanced squad with no big stars.

I win the offseason!!!

 

It's coming together, but, as always, fantasy football can be a cruel mistress. We'll see how kind the injury gods are this season.

Robb:

 

 

 

1.10- RB Ezekiel Elliott, Dal.

 

2.03- WR A.J. Green, Cin.

 

3.10- RB Matt Forte, NYJ

 

4.03- QB Aaron Rodgers, GB

 

5.10- RB Dion Lewis, NE

 

6.03- WR DeVante Parker, Mia.

 

7.10- TE Ladarius Green, Pit.

 

8.03- WR DeSean Jackson, Was

 

First 4 picks were stellar and really set the team up well. Won't be hard to fill in the blanks at all. With Rodgers getting Jordy back, he should be a great anchor piece for this squad with it's 2 backs and AJ steady production.

Vikings4Ever:

 

 

 

1.09- TE Rob Gronkowski, NE

 

2.04- RB Devonta Freeman, Atl.

 

3.09- RB Mark Ingram, NO

 

4.04- WR Kelvin Benjamin, Car.

 

5.09- WR Michael Floyd, Ari.

 

6.04- WR Jordan Matthews, Phi.

 

7.09- WR Tyler Lockett, Sea.

 

8.04- QB Carson Palmer, Ari.

 

This wasn't easy! To put together this receiving core after the 3rd round was a great job. If Devonta can keep it going, Ingram will be a fine #2. TE is pretty good, and Palmer no slouch. Nice work!

[remote controller 133]

JScott:

 

 

 

1.08- RB David Johnson, Ari.

 

2.05- RB Eddie Lacy, GB

 

3.08- WR Demaryius Thomas, Den.

 

4.05- WR Sammy Watkins, Buf.

 

5.08- QB Russell Wilson, Sea.

 

6.05- TE Travis Kelce, KC

 

7.08- RB Isaiah Crowell, Cle.

 

8.05- WR Kevin White, Chi.

 

I texted him yesterday saying that players just seemed to be falling to him all draft. The only player I can even question is his #3 Rb......and that's why he's a #3. White might be big and Wilson will be big. Then you look at the first 4 picks. I like it!

[remote controller 133]

Matt's Eagles:

 

 

 

1.07- WR Julio Jones, Atl.

 

2.06- WR Alshon Jeffery, Chi.

 

3.07- RB C.J. Anderson, Den.

 

4.06- WR Randall Cobb, GB

 

5.07- RB Jay Ajayi, Mia.

 

6.06- TE Zach Ertz, Phi.

 

7.07- WR Josh Doctson, Was.

 

8.06- RB Tevin Coleman, Atl.

 

The first 4 picks here are key. It is wide receiver heavy so they gotta perform. Hopefully CJ does what we expected last year. Not as comfortable with this squad.

[remote controller 133]

RicemanX:

 

 

 

1.06- WR Odell Beckham, Jr., NYG

 

2.07- RB Jamaal Charles, KC

 

3.06- RB Carlos Hyde, SF

 

4.07- WR Julian Edelman, NE

 

5.06- TE Greg Olsen, Car.

 

6.07- WR Eric Decker, NYJ

 

7.06- WR John Brown, Ari.

 

8.07- WR Marvin Jones, Det.

 

If Charles comes back strong, he and Beckham will be formidable. I love picks 5 and 6 for the value I see, and worry some about Edelmen this year with Brady gone 4 games and Bennett avail for redzone too. Edelman will still rock in ppr formats. Just need to solidify this bunch with a solid QB and some rb depth.

[remote controller 133]

Shovelheadt:

 

 

 

1.05- WR DeAndre Hopkins, Hou.

 

2.08- RB Thomas Rawls, Sea.

 

3.05- RB Jeremy Hill, Cin.

 

4.08- QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pit.

 

5.05- WR Allen Hurns, Jax.

 

6.08- RB Ameer Abdullah, Det.

 

7.05- RB Frank Gore, Ind.

 

8.08- WR Markus Wheaton, Pit.

 

Very balanced with the keys being who steps up at the running back position. Seems the Seahawks are changing into a passing team. (or more of a Wilson oriented team)I think Wheaton was a great addition paired with Ben and will be your #2 Wr, making Hurns a killer #3.

[remote controller 133]

White Wonder:

 

 

 

1.04- RB Adrian Peterson, Min.

 

2.09- WR Keenan Allen, SD

 

3.04- WR Brandon Marshall, NYJ

 

4.09- RB Matt Jones, Was.

 

5.04- WR Jeremy Maclin, KC

 

6.09- TE Coby Fleener, NO

 

7.04- WR Michael Crabtree, Oak.

 

8.09- QB Eli Manning, NYG

 

Plenty players on this squad that I was looking at. Keenan, Matt, Maclin, and Crabs. The Matt Jones pick really messed me up I like this team and feel it is solid top to bottom.

[remote controller 133]

Fumbleweed:

 

 

 

1.03- RB Le'Veon Bell, Pit.

 

2.10- WR Mike Evans, TB

 

3.03- WR Brandin Cooks, NO

 

4.10- RB Ryan Mathews, Phi.

 

5.03- QB Andrew Luck, Ind.

 

6.10- TE Delanie Walker, Ten.

 

7.03- WR Donte' Moncrief, Ind.

 

8.10- RB T.J. Yeldon, Jax.

 

Perfect balance and potential at every position. Got into me with the Matthews pick, and with Delanie. Really wanted Walker!!! If Bell is Bell and stays healthy, and Luck returns firing with both barrels this team will be tough weekly.

[remote controller 133]

Remote Controller:

 

 

 

1.02- RB Todd Gurley, LA

 

2.11- WR Amari Cooper, Oak.

 

3.02- QB Cam Newton, Car.

 

4.11- WR Golden Tate, Det.

 

5.02- RB Melvin Gordon, SD

 

6.11- WR Larry Fitzgerald, Ari.

 

7.02- RB Danny Woodhead, SD

 

8.11- RB Chris Ivory, Jax.

 

I was rolling right along through round 4 then it felt like the mat was pulled from under my feet. Jones and Matthews left at 4.09 and 4.10, leaving only Langford left, then Ray grabs him because I took Tate. I'd have been fine with Langford and maclin, but thought I could get Tate and Langford. I had to regroup so I targeted Gordon/Woodhead then was happy to get Fitz in the 6th. Oddly the Ivory pick made me feel finally secure at Rb. I feel balanced now and have a difference maker at Qb. I also was very high on Gurley and Cooper. Fumble got into me with his pick of Walker and that prompted the Ivory selection.

[remote controller 133]

Ray Lewis' Limo Driver:

 

 

 

1.01- WR Antonio Brown, Pit.

 

2.12- RB Doug Martin, TB

 

3.01- RB LeSean McCoy, Buf.

 

4.12- TE Jordan Reed, Was.

 

5.01- RB Jeremy Langford, Chi.

 

6.12- WR Emmanuel Sanders, Den.

 

7.01- WR Steve Smith, Bal.

 

When Ray didn't address his #2 wr until late round 6 I was concerned, then even more concerned with Sanders minus Peyton. The Steve Smith grab in round 7 was very solid. Reed is gonna be a solid TE, and he has Martin and McCoy both as strong #2 rb's . The first pick will be money weekly.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Soooo... everyone is awesome!

 

 

Haha just kidding

Thanks for the read midway through. Appreciate it.

 

I'll try to do a full analysis of my own post draft even though I know fumble always does his.

nah.....just all different ways to fillet a pike. I really like about 3 teams (Fumble, JScott, and yours) and was very impressed with how two built them (V4E, Rice). Wasn't comfortable with Matt's.

Truth is when I've done final analysis in years past I almost go out of my way to nit pick negatives because usually everyone does a very solid job with their respective draft spots

Love RLLD's turn. I'm a believer in Oakland this year, and Derek Carr has progressed well. And Stefon Diggs . . . well, I had this pipe dream of him sliding to the end of this round. Nice pick; great young talent on an up-and-coming team. Great value.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Julius was going to be my tight end target if I missed on fleener. Would have likely used 8.9 on him if i still needed my TE
