    My draft is over so I'm going to throw up some names I like in this years draft for value in the late rounds.

     

    1. Mark Clayton WR, STL. Clayton has a good relationship with his QB Sam Bradford. Someone has to come out of the STL WR Corps and emerge - people are betting on different names for different reasons. But we saw the production Clayton put up when he had the job last year. I like Clayton as a flier (especially in PPR).

     

    2. Patrick Crayton WR, SD. Crayton came to the Bolts early in the year and when he was given the opportunity he shined. Vincent Jackson and Malcolm Floyd are still question marks on whether they'll be with the team, and if either of those 2 left Crayton would have a chance to win the job at X and in that offense could be a steal. He's being undrafted right now, leave him on the wire if you wish but I'm going to roster him and see how it develops.

     

    3. Donald Driver, WR, GB. Everyone is assuming Jordy Nelson will win the #2 job. The fact is that there's enough production for Nelson and Driver in that offense. Driver is a veteran presence and in this lockout environment, having a flier that you could start at WR in week 1 is a nice commodity. I like him in PPR in any league that starts 3 WR or flex for early season production.

     

    4. Shane Vareen, RB, NE. The NE backfield is crowded. Vareen may be a bust or he may be gold. He's the definition of a flier. What I like about the Vareen situation is that personally I don't believe BJGE or Danny Woodhead are talented enough to keep this kid off the field. He's a draft and stash. Don't expect production early but I love him mid to late year when you'll need him the most.

     

    5. DeLone Carter, RB, IND. See above. This kid has the IT factor and although Addai is most likely to be back (best place for player and team) I see Carter getting his shot. Donald Brown has not shown that spark in seasons (Mike Hart looked better last year) and you can pick Carter up late.

     

     

     

    Obviously you can't draft em all, but a few thoughts I wanted to share with the board. The nice thing about Crayton and Clayton, is that you should know how their situation shakes out early in the year. They'll be easy waiver fodder if the depth chart doesn't shake out and/or if free agency complicates their situation further.

     

    Great post, I like hearing your thoughts... Maybe don't buy into all of them, but I like your thought behind it and insight...

    Lets hear your reasoning...

    So now Im going thru seeing at each one of my picks who would be available and who I would want. This also gives me the opportunity to look forward and say "might as well wait another round on a WR since there is one I like available to me next round". Now, I DO KNOW that the draft wont happen exactly like this but it does give me a idea of who should be where according to my actual league and with our keepers etc. This might only work for those of you who are in a keeper league.

     

    I know its not perfect, and I'm not trying to get on here and brag about something I'm sure a million other people do, but I'd like to hear any ideas or thoughts.

    Until reading this I didn't realize my league was in the vast minority. We keep 4 in an 8 team league. Keepers have to be declared by Superbowl halftime. I don't know if this is a good or bad way, but one advantage is you can really do your research on who you want based upon who is left. Also you can kind of tell which position each team needs in the first round or two. The draft order is determined by the previous years finish (last place to champ).

    found one at fantasyfootballcalculator.com too. It goes a lot quicker, just a little less "aesthetically pleasing". The computer picks in 2 seconds instead of 10 in the yahoo one. But your right, drafts do look very similar because everyone has the same rankings in front of them. Although Yahoo lets you import your own rankings if you choose to do so.

    Breaking news on ABC local in Dallas tonight was that Dez Bryant was banned for 90 days from North Parks Mall. haha. If that's not dumb enough, it was for arguing with an off-duty officer after the cop asked him to pull up his sagging pants....

    He's been keeping this list for a while now. Ranking all the NFL Franchises by playoff appearances, conference championships, and super bowl appearances and titles. There is a mathmatical formula (some have no problem with it, some argue). This was actually so popular last year ESPN stole the idea and used it last year. What do you think?

    By the way, yes Bob Sturm works in Dallas, but grew up in Wisconson and is not a Dallas homer, actually a huge packer backer, complete with a Green Bay tattoo on his arm.

    It started out as just a small pool among friends but then it started to grow. The guy running it has stopped sending out invites. I think it generated more interest than he was expecting and it's become a bit of a nightmare for him.

    Gotcha. I wish someone would set this up as something you could enter. Sounds fun!

    You mean something like right clicking the field you want the comment for, selecting "insert comment" from the selection window that opens, and typing your comment, which will then remain hidden until you position your cursor over that field? That would be a good idea... :ninja:

    Exactly. After I posted this, I learned you could do that. I have just done it in the player "name" field. Put in coaching changes, injury updates and so on. This way I can keep tabs on everyone.

     

     

    Appreciate it. I'll be using it as a basic foundation for my own. Feel free to keep updating us.

    Thank you. Will do.

     

     

    It seems like you put a lot of work into it. I just go to my Cbs Sportsline league and click the stats tab.

     

    It's exactly what you have but I can filter it by any stat I like(Fantasy pts, TDs, Targets.....)

     

    :dunno:

     

    I understand, and I agree at this point. But what I will do when the season rolls around next year and training camps get up and going and pre-season starts (assuming all that happens as scheduled...) is I'm going to add MY rankings, and MY projections based upon changes during the offseason, etc. Then I will sort them by my rankings for what I actually take to the draft. I can also enter my mock draft results into this, average draft position, strenth of schedule, etc., that going to sportsline is not going to offer me. As well as I can delete the information that I don't need. But you are right, it is a lot of work. Going back and finding players ages was a pain in the ass, and now I'm going to have to go back and enter in how many games they've played.

    I couldn't ever find any lists that I really like, and that are custom to my league, so I've started making my own the last few years. I've just started for next year, with all this years stats. I went in and typed in all the info, including stats and FF points according to my leagues scoring system (standard yahoo + ppr). Take a look at the file, let me know what you think, if you have any ideas, etc. There are 4 tabs at the bottom for QB, WR, RB, TE. Some of the fields are not filled out yet (haven't got around to finding out how many games all these people played in, and some of the fields I cannot fill out until the full schedule comes out next year).

     

    Good thing about making a spreadsheet is I can sort the information how I need it.

    He's supposed to have his stitches out and return to practice Wednesday (per Yahoo). I just barely got into the playoffs, and could really use him. If anyone has any updates on him, please let me know.... but if he is good to go how confident do you feel rolling with him?

    Standard Scoring + PPR. We keep 4. start 1qb,2rb,2wr,1te,1flex,1k,1d

     

    Here's the guys I have in consideration in order of points they have scored in my league this year....

     

    Frank Gore

    Hakeem Nicks

    Reggie Wayne

    Mike Wallace

    Ben Roethlisberger

    Jermichael Finley

     

    Obviously Finley and Big Ben would be higher on the list had they played all season. My initial thoughts were Gore, Ben, Wayne and Nicks. But I wouldn't mind keeping Finley and not having to worry about a starting TE in the draft. What's your thoughts?
