golden bear 0 Posted September 2, 2006 I have the 11th pick in a 12 team league and am considering taking W. Parker in either the 1st or as my 2nd pick. I really think he will have a monster year, and is a proven back. Do you think this it too early to draft FWP, am I reaching. I really like him more that C. Williams, D. Foster, J. Lweis, W. Dunn, W. McGahee. Am I crazy or do you agree. I thind he has the talent and team to be a top 5 back, do you agree or disagree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Point is if you believe that then take him there so nobody else gets the reward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adanley 1 Posted September 2, 2006 I've been really high on him this year. I like him over all of those guys. C. Williams is a close call though. I think he could put up some good numbers this year, especially getting at least some goal-line carries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted September 2, 2006 I'm a Burgh homer and I don't like this...he's not proven, he just runs behind a great line. He's a decent back, nothing more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a decent back, nothing more. 1202 yards 4.7 average 75 yard superbowl record run. I am also a homer and just think he is a little proven. Also don't think Pitt line is the greatest there good but nothing special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gunnergip 0 Posted September 2, 2006 The great thing about Parker this year is that he does not have to worry about an RBBC and out of almost all the guys you listed he is healthier. I have the 12th pick in a 12 man league and am thinking the same thing about this. I know I am going to take 2 backs and probably get wayne and walker in the 3rd and 4th as my receivers, but which backs to take is the question. I am not sure that Westbrook will be healthy all year and in a league is NOT PPR I think that Parker could be more productive. It is a very hard call. I'd probably go with Parker and one of the other backs you listed. Hell even going RB elite WR isnt that bad at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turcaso 1 Posted September 2, 2006 I'm sure you can get him at 14 in a 12 team league.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtammen 0 Posted September 2, 2006 No. If the other guys are gone that you like take whoever you think won't be there in the 3rd that you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlaHawker 24 Posted September 2, 2006 1202 yards 4.7 average **75 yard superbowl record run. I am also a homer and just think he is a little proven. Also don't think Pitt line is the greatest there good but nothing special. Fixed **= Max Starks hands to the face of Tatupu, which prevented a sure tackle, was not called by the incompetent Bill Leavy. Don't base drafting FWP on that run. FWP is a 3rd/4th rd pick. Let someone else take him in the second round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIKI-BARBERS-BARBER 0 Posted September 2, 2006 So do you think it is a reach to take him this early or not? He is going to get a shot at the goaline carries and if that works out he will be in for a very good year. Pitt is also changing there offense to cater to his speed. So not really a reach Imo. Fixed **= Max Starks hands to the face of Tatupu, which prevented a sure tackle, was not called by the incompetent Bill Leavy. Don't base drafting FWP on that run. FWP is a 3rd/4th rd pick.

Ilov80s 0 Posted September 2, 2006 When is too early? 4 . Anything after that is fair. He is a feature back who is coming off a big year and will now get GL carries. You can make as much of a case for FWP being the 4th pick as you could SJAx, Ronnie, Edge, etc. If you want FWP, then don't worry about what everyone will think and just take him.

Took Jordan and Westy, then foster at #3, Wayne at #4, then Walker at #5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Mad_Cats 0 Posted September 2, 2006 In my 10 team league of mostly experienced guys, here's who was drafted before FWP, who I picked up at 3.01: Tomlinson, Ladainian Alexander, Shaun Johnson, Larry Barber, Tiki Brown, Ronnie Jackson, Steven McGahee, Willis Williams, Carnell Johnson, Rudi James, Edgerrin Westbrook, Brian Portis, Clinton Jordan, Lamont Bush, Reggie (absurd imho) I like him this year.
