IronFistIFFL 0 Posted July 28, 2006 12 team league 6 pt for all TDs 1 pt for 5 rec 1 pt for 25 rush/rec yds 1 pt for 50 pass yds Big 3, Manning and Portis are gone. I am taking Ronnie Brown. I can make a case for Rudi being a safer pick in my spot.... but the upside w/ Ronnie is really attractive. Any reason not to go with my gut? I'm listening!

jgcrawfish 232 Posted July 28, 2006 I like LJordan here...catches passes, will have easier time this year with the not-so-statue-like Aaron Brooks there. But Brown is a good pick too, although Tiki is hard to pass up because of his versitility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Brown a lot. I won't know my draft position unitl Aug 30 but I would consider taking Ronnie Brown anywhere from 4-12, especially since we are switching to a PPR league.

RicemanX 20 Posted July 28, 2006 I like Tiki and Edge over ROnnie Brown, mainly because I still feel like Brown is still unproven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polamalu43 0 Posted July 28, 2006 In a redraft with that scoring format, Tiki should most likely be the next pick. Although Brown isn't a crazy choice at that spot, I still like Tiki right there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RamslovaMartzhata 3 Posted July 28, 2006 OLine is average at best. Admittedly i haven't seen him play that much, but from what I did see of him... I wasn't too terribly impressed. He just didn't seem to have much explosiveness or vision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t.j 35 Posted July 28, 2006 OLine is average at best. I disagree. With Alex Gibbs out of the coaching biz, Hudson Houck is the best o-line coach in the league. They've got some talent on the line, and he may be able to coach them into a better-than-average performance this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare 0 Posted July 28, 2006 I think Brown's a reach there but if you really like him, trade down. I'm sure a lot of owners would deal for that spot to grab Tiki or Edge. But keep in mind that we don't know how Brown will do with a full season's workload or what the QB situation will be. There are a lot of question marks in Maimi right now. Too many to anoint Ronnie Brown the #4 RB in this year's draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharkie22 0 Posted July 28, 2006 I usually like to be a bit more conservative with my first few picks but nowhere is it proven that Brown can't / won't cash in on his potential this year and be the better back. If it feels right, do it. At least if it were to not work out you'd probably have an easier time with the fact it's what you wanted rather then what you weren't sure you wanted.

Montana_god 0 Posted July 28, 2006 Edge has gone to the desert, the graveyard for NFL players. RIP Don't know if I agree with you - Edge and Warner are both high on my list... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharkie22 0 Posted July 29, 2006 Don't know if I agree with you - Edge and Warner are both high on my list... Yeah, I think Edge will still have a decent year over all. Not the same as last year but... To me, Warner looks like a safer bet as a 2nd QB who may prove to have better numbers than the first. He's just so slow and brittle (for lack of a better word) playing behind an O-line that allowed 45 sacks last year. Having Edge on the field will make defenses more honest and slow the pass rush some in addition to the fact he's a very good blocker but available QB's who are consistent get a bit thin after the round Warner probably goes in. So either way Warner comes at a price. Either use two picks within the first 8-9 rounds on QB's or risk having Warner go down and start a back up QB who may be somewhat less consistent in yards and TD's.

ellisonb11 0 Posted July 29, 2006 Edge has gone to the desert, the graveyard for NFL players. RIP yea ur right fla hawker, larry fitz and anquan boldin have sucked... i guess u mean RBs, but they havent had a stud like edgerrin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natural Lights 0 Posted July 29, 2006 I like Tiki, Edge or S Jackson there I have to agree here. Reaching in the first round can sink your team fast. Just ask KJ owners from last year. Either move down or take the safer pick. Plus I would not be crazy about a RB who has a QB who tore three ligaments in his knee 9 months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronFistIFFL 0 Posted July 30, 2006 Couple notes: This is the 6th pick of the 1st round -- 5th RB taken. If I can trade down I intend to. So far nobody has been biting. Very much agree with the idea that RB reaches are the fastest track to a frustrating season... but that's what is so frustrating about this pick. I feel like Lamont, Rudi, Tiki, Steven Jackson, Edge and Ronnie are all about the same amount of reach, for different reasons. Tiki is the safest for yardage here. TDs I am not sold at all that he's even in the same class as the guys I just listed this year. Rudi is the safest for TDs here... although until I feel safer about Carson Palmer being healthy... I won't feel totally safe w/ Rudi. In other words, I feel like anybody I take in the first round at the 6 hole is a bit of a reach. So -- unless I can move down, I'm sticking to my guns.

Phurfur 70 Posted July 30, 2006 I would go with Jordan here because I feel he is a safer pick. If you like Brown I would go with him, in the end it is your team and I haven't seen anything here to prove you wrong. This tier of RB is so close that everyone will be picking with their gut. I would rather go with my gut than someone elses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
De Novo 0 Posted July 30, 2006 Tiki, SJax and Jordan are better picks here than Brown IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
