Sean McDermott 2 Posted July 17, 2014 12 team standard league. I have the 7th overall pick. I am looking at options for what to do at the beginning of my draft because that will determine the rest of it obviously. First, I was looking at a combo of Calvin Johnson/Drew Brees with my first two picks. WRs don't get taken in my draft in the first round ever. I think Calvin went 11 last year actually. Those two together score a ton of points, but my RBs are going to be crap as well as my second WR, which wouldn't be taken until the 5th round. This doesn't seem to be a smart option, but Brees/Calvin sounds so appealing. Last year I went RB-RB-RB with my first three picks and struck out on all three. I am convinced I still need to go RB-RB to start since the WR depth is so deep and I can get someone like Fitzgerald or Garcon as my #1WR. With that said, if first six picks go Charles, AP, McCoy, Forte, Lacy, Lynch, I am left with guys like Foster/Ball/Bell and that doesn't get me excited. That's why Calvin seems better than those guys and someone like Morris/Gio Bernard as my second pick. Thoughts are appreciated and will respond to your post for a comment.

rholio 339 Posted July 17, 2014 WR and QB are deep, and you can get a good one late. Not a great one, though. Go with Calvin. Heck, go with Brees in the 2nd unless one of those 1st round RBs falls to you. After that, grab RB - RB - RB and, possibly, RB. WR is deep, and you can get a pair of decent ones late to pair with Calvin. Guys like Hilton, Wright, Maclin, Wallace, etc. go late. You'll be sacrificing at TE a bit, but once you get past the top 5 it's a crap-shoot until the 14-15th place one. Hit one 1 RB, and you'll be competitive. 2, and you'll have an advantage over a lot of teams. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 401 Posted July 18, 2014 If they are available it will be hard to do better than Calvin and Brees. Top WR and top 3 QB. Another consideration would be Jimmy Graham and Brees. Of course you could go the RB route but I don't know you will get great value at 7 drafting a RB. I would probably go Calvin though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
