Non ppr league.

 

I think M Gordon and Fournette at 1.09 and 1.10 where great picks.

 

J Jones at 1.11 with Barkley still available is a horrible pick.

 

McCoy at 2.12 was the best second round pick.

 

Gronk at 2.11 was horrible.

 

Drake at 3.07 was a very good pick.

 

A Rodgers or any Qb in the third round is horrible, expecally when you start just one Qb.

 

B Cooks at 4.12 is a great pick in that round.

 

A Cooper at 4.01 is a reach for a player that has underperformed.

 

D Thomas 5.02 great pick.

 

S Michel at 5.12 is a real reach, might pay off but a Pats rb.

 

M Mack at 6.11 could be a real steal.

 

M out to Lynch at 6.02 is a a very questionable pick.

 

And P Garcon is a great under value pick, if Jimmy G is the Qb mos think he will be, Garcon will be is number one target.

 

R Woods at 7.08, oh no. Someone will lose and it’s him.

 

Thanks.

I'm curious what your reasoning is behind all of these but mostly the Julio Jones one. There's a lot of hype surrounding Barkley and I know he's usually going earlier but I see no issues with taking Jones before him. As talented as Barkley may be he's on a team that doesn't seem to know how to run. I can't trust the Giants enough to spend a first round pick on a RB. Jones is always putting up a ton of yards but his TDs are extremely inconsistent. I'm willing to bet his TDs go up this year since it probably can't get any worse. My money is on the safer player which is Julio.

I'll echo Hawkeye a little here. I passed on Barkley at 7 because I have at least a short history for Kamara.

 

There is a saying, a very old saying . . . You can't win your league (or the draft) in the first two rounds, but you can lose it there.

 

I'll never fault the safe pick early.

I think Beckham is better, so that’s reason number one.

 

In a non ppr league it looks like 18 players outscored J Jones at the rb/wr postion.

 

That alone would make Jones in a non ppr league worthy of a mid second round pick.

 

Jones has reached double digit tds numbers ones, so when I see some one say they see his TD numbers going up, I ask show me.

 

So I think Barkley will indeed out score Jones in a non ppr league.

 

Thanks.

Nobody's calling for him to score 15 TDs, but if you expect him to bounce back more into the 6-8 range, which he was at the previous 3 years, that would put him into the top 12.

Ok fair enough.

 

But in 2016 when he scored 8tds his 176 ff non ppr league points was 18th best.

 

So how many more do we give him so he can finsh in the top 12 in over all points for rb/wr.?

 

I don’t see him scoring more then 6-8 at best and the last two seasons he’s finshed with 1400plus yards.

 

I’ll stand by my rankings.

 

Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone.

Looking at 2016, that was an abnormally good year for RBs, with 11 scoring more than 190 points. Compared with 8 last year, 4 in 2015, 9 in 2014, and 10 in 2013.

 

Jones probably doesn't have the upside that some others do. But he is a relatively safe pick. The only years he's fallen out of the top 10 in WR scoring are his rookie year, and his 5 game 2013.

 

Like Dan said, you're not going to win your league with your first pick, but you can lose it. Julio probably isn't going to lose your league for you.

Great points.

 

But once again Jones has finshed 18th in points in a non ppr league the last two season.

 

I think he’s the fourth best wr, so just picking him before Beckham was a questionable move too me.

 

Of course we all have are own rankings.

 

I think Barkley will be a true Rb1 and for that reason worthy of a higher pick then Jones.

 

Thanks great chat.

He had 3 TDs last year. I can't imagine anyone is going to expect that to happen again. He averages 6 TDs a season and that's including last year's 3 TD and a season with 2. I think it's safe to expect him to double his TDs from last year. I don't think anyone is expecting double digit TDs but I can certainly see something like 8 TDs.

Amari Cooper at 4.01 is amazing value

 

 

 

A Cooper at 4.01 is a reach for a player that has underperformed.

 

 

 

History is on weepaws' side and I've seen enough of that history to keep Cooper on my 'meh' list. But I acknowledge this tug I feel pulling inside me that wants to believe Jon Gruden.

 

Giraldi, can you toss me a nugget that would make it tougher for me to dismiss Cooper this year ?

if Jones had scored 8tds last season in a non ppr league he would be 11 in points scored.

 

If he scored 8.

 

I would easily take a rb1like Barkley in a non ppr at that pick.

 

Plus once again, Jones was picked with Beckham still on the board, and that’s another part of my statement.

 

I like Beckham more.

 

Thanks great chat.

 

See you all tomorrow.

I haven't done nearly enough research to be set in stone but, I'll probably let someone else have Jones. Maybe Atlanta finally figures out how make him a red zone target, but until that time he's a half round or so over valued in standard. There are guys being drafted around him with similar floor and greater upside. I'll also find it hard to pull the trigger on a WR in round 1 and early round 2.

How are those contract talks coming with Beckham? From the Giants perspective, they have a bad QB, a bad oline, a bad defense, control over Beckham this year, and they can then franchise him in subsequent years if they want. That is a lot of dollars in their pockets that they can put towards other positions while they toil in below average football play for the next few years instead of throwing high $$ at a player who is #1 drama queen on and off the field.

 

If Beckham even plays this year, he will get hurt. Pulled hamstring? Calf injury? Just my prediction.

 

I would take Jones any day over Beckham. Although I will be investing my draft dollars into RB and TE before WR this year, as I have done for the past many years. So neither of those guys will be on my team unless they go cheap, which they won't because it only takes 2 out of 12 owners to bid against each other to blow up the cost on these players, especially when the other considered "top" receivers are gone and panic sets in.

This is good discussion. It's odd to me, though. I take a year off, and the conversations change. It used to be critique of the teams. Instead, it's a couple of picks that have garnered most of the attention in this thread.

Yessir.

 

I think Gruden utilizes Cooper in the slot where he should be. Why is that important to his future success? As you alluded to...history. Per PFF:

 

Cooper has averaged 2.65 yards per route run from the slot in his career, amassing 773 receiving yards and seven TDs on just 291 career slot routes.

 

Away from the slot, Cooper has averaged 1.62 YPRR, recording 2,143 receiving yards and 11 TDs on 1,324 routes.

 

That seems like a pretty discernible difference, but it makes sense. Cooper is a solid route runner. Getting him matched up against nickle corners makes sense.

 

In OTAs, that's where he was lining up too.

Remember. He's still only 24 years old and entering his 4th season. I love his value this year.

Vikings and Shovel to me nailed their drafts, but I actually see a lot of solid looking teams constructed. At this point in the off-season, at least to me, it's about finding a few of the picks that are the hot button ones. Either reaches or value picks that really stand out. I agree though, some good discussion arising from the mock

I honestly expected the selection of Davante Adams was going to be the early WR selection that was going to cause people to lose their minds (ahead of OBJ, AG Green & Michael Thomas). As previous posters have mentioned, you can't win your draft in the first couple of rounds, but you sure can lose it. That means that you should be employing some risk mitigation while trying to draft the highest floor & ceiling player. In order to do that you look for consistency. Julio Jones has been on the Falcons for years and played at an elite level for the entirety of it. Regardless of TD production (which vacillates from year to year), he consistently has over 1,400 yards. He is now in the 2nd year with his OC, who I believe learned a thing, or two last season and will get much more out of the Atlanta offense this coming season.

 

In contrast, OBJ is coming off a serious leg injury (strike one), has a new head coach (strike 2) and a new OC (strike 3). That is waaaay too much risk for me, considering that Jones is on the same talent level as OBJ and has none of these potential issues.

 

Barkley hasn't even played in a NFL game yet. Have rookie RB's recently had success? Yes, but that doesn't guarantee Barkley will have the same success. I'm sorry, but with the recent history of the Giants, I am not risking a first round pick on "Shurmur Magic."

Cooper isn't fast, has bad hands, and struggles to get separation. He's living off what he did in college. Take away the name and just look at his NFL film, he's a late round pick at best.

Yes, I did not like the Gronk pick myself. I do not take TEs until the 10/11th rounds, so I thought I would try something different in the "Mock".........didn't like it still!! My thinking at the time was, Gronk in the 2nd then Rodgers at 3.02 and I would have the #1 RB (Gurley), #1 TE and the #1 QB.......but that didn't work either!

I am all in on McKinnon. I will raise him early in my auction league hopefully before the big RBs go. That should keep the cost on the low for him with a lot of backs yet to be drafted.

I knew that there was no hope of McKinnon falling to the end of the 3rd round, but I think that he is an excellent "gamble" this year. As I stated above, in the first 2 rounds, I would never stick my neck out on a guy that had been in the league and never had success. In the 3rd round, though, in certain circumstances, I will take a flier on a guy that has an opportunity to be a top 10 RB. If nothing else, it sounds like Shanahan is going to feed him the ball and as we all know, opportunity trumps almost all else. Nice pick robb.

Cooper ran a 4.42 40 yard dash at the combine.

 

A Raider receiver has been in the top 5 in the NFL in drops the last three years. Might start wanting to think some of this is on the quarterback. But the drops are definitely an issue.

 

Average separation yardage in 17:

 

Jordy Nelson - 2.7

Antonio Brown, Brandin Cooks, Michael Thomas, Amari Cooper - 2.6

Remember. He's still only 24 years old and entering his 4th season. I love his value this year.

 

The efficiency boost from the slot and the fact said slot is receiving emphasis this Spring is the type of nugget that will have me bumping his outlook a touch. However, i'll be picking at the Turn this year and his ADP falls right smack in the middle of the two spots where the action comes to me. I'd have to either reach for him or have him fall significantly. But if camp reports and preseason action suggest real change is in the air, perhaps he won't be quite so much of a reach after all.
