Running game anyone? No Orlando Franklin, no Ryan Clady or Manny Ramirez in the trade to get Shane Ray. This offense can't function at a high level without protection fellas. Not saying stay away from but a downgrade is inevitable.

This. Personally I'd rather take a skill position player & if he doesn't pan out, then drop your worst player to pick up a bye week fill in QB. Not to mention you're going to be second guessing yourself every week on who to start & when your bench QB scores more points than your starter it's going to annoy you.

Read the rule change. It states if the defense returns a PAT or 2-point conversion for a touchdown then they will get awarded 2 points now. Giraldi02 provided a good example of why teams may choose to kneel on it.

DGB has the talent, & what I believe is a good situation for him. A QB that can get outside the pocket & make some schoolyard plays once the play breaks down.

Shhhhh

No point in explaining this any further

2/3 of my championship teams had Gostkowski last year. Was pretty much a lock for 8+ points a week which was huge. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot. Wait till the last round & stream on a weekly basis is the preferred method with the position.

Agree with the above comments. A prediction of a player being a bust with no predicted stats to serve as a measuring stick is basically useless. If Gordon can't develop his pass protection skills & footwork (ex. Bishop Sankey) & sees no significant playing time, then you can label him a bust as a rookie. But we still don't know if Sankey is a bust since he rarely saw the field in 2014. Is that on him? Absolutely. Doesn't mean he can't develop into a RB2 in his sophomore campaign. I just wish if GFIAFP makes a prediction, he'd back it up with a statistical prediction as well.

PBR >>>>>>>> Bud Light/Coors Light

Yes & no. I think in an auction draft, you'll see a huge difference between good auction drafters & newbies. Newbies will spend all their money on 3 studs & round out their rosters with scrubs. Good drafters will get one stud & load up on a bunch of tier two players. This results in solid depth & a more competitive squad.

With Jerrah saying he'd toss out a 1st rounder for a game changing RB, how could the Vikes not take this deal? They get ample compensation for a guy who doesn't want to be there & Dallas gets another piece to the puzzle. Also, if AP were to land in Dallas, how is he not the consensus #1 FF player drafted next season?

NFL Network reporting Fowler will miss the season with a torn ACL. Bummer for Gus Bradley's defense, &hopefully the kid gets healed up for 2016.

Didn't look good on how his knee buckled. Tough break for the Fowler & the Jags.

Irony at its finest

This is what I was thinking. So at the 23rd hour another owner bumps the bid $1, the 24-hour timer restarts again? Training camp would start before you ever get finished. The auction drafts I've done are where an owner nominates a player for $1 & everyone can bid with a 15-second timer restarting each time the bid gets raised. Total draft time takes about 3 hours but gives each owner ample time to place bids. Used ESPN personally & have enjoyed their auction set-up. I only do one auction style redraft each season but it's one of my favorite leagues. A much different strategy compared to snake drafts. It allows you to target your top end studs as well as sleepers. Plus the fun of trying to drive up bids on a player that you have no interest adds another strategy. I did this last season & ended up going too far with this strategy. Got "stuck" with the player I bid up. That was Jordy Nelson. Sometimes it works out in your favor & sometimes it doesn't. Strongly encourage anyone who hasn't done an auction draft to try it this season.

Curious to think what some people think of his value in a 2-player keeper league where you can't keep 1st rounders. Can keep the player for 2 years beyond their drafted year. I'm picking 5th & will likely keep Jeremy Hill (10th rounder) & either Sammy Watkins (7th), Carlos Hyde (8th) or Russell Wilson (9th). Would 3.5 be about the area to pull the trigger if he doesn't get taken before that?

Who are we kidding here.... 1.17 - Todd Gurley

Like this guy needed a reason to push him down draft boards. Smooth move Ex-Lax!

I like your pick Mike but I'm gonna go in a different direction. Dolphins don't have much at cornerback so I'm gonna go in that direction. 1.14 - CB. Marcus Peters

Let's just make this easy. DeVante Parker 1.12 - Cleveland Browns

I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. Parker + Teddy would be a tempting pairing but the Vikes need help in the secondary to stop Rodgers/Stafford/Cutler in the division. Zimmer can groom Trae Waynes into a stud. 2nd vote for Trae Waynes at 1.11

White is a strong possibility but they need help on the interior of their defensive line. 1.7 Danny Shelton

Well played sir!

I'd do that deal. You get Benjamin + either Gurley/Gordon/Cooper/White depending on what the rest of your roster looks like.

I traded him last season for G. Bernard, D. Freeman, K. Allen & a 3rd round rookie pick. I am in rebuilding mode so it made sense for me plus I have J. Hill so I have Cincinnati's backfield on lockdown.
