The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 does that mean i can make the #11 pick and get it locked in awhile??? actually youre 1.11 pick is already Westbrook :-) But yeah you could hold it at 2.2 if you wanted to I guess - though Gepetto,singman,kutulu and LBH might try and hunt you down and punch you in face in front of wife / kids - I wouldn't mind though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 Yeah I would be crying too having Westbrook as a 1.11 pick Westbrook I have as the #3 player overall in my rankings for PPR. I have it Peterson , LT , Westbrook ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know the only way you give up Westy is you rape me while doing it ! is it rape if i sweet talk you and convince you that you are really getting a good deal? but i did give up Westy in one of my other keeper leagues last year... but i knew i had no chance in that league anyway cause it was a keep 4 league and Westy was basically my only good prospect thanks to injuries and retirements...

The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 I can already tell that I have the #1 overall pick right now and it will be Frank Gore just waiting to get an email from Slo so I can post the order. But to be honest I only have Westy slightly ahead of Gore so I doubt we can really deal as you likley want alot more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 You are a dirty cocksucker. I cannot tell you how elated I was the moment I saw you select Brady as your keeper ! I really REALLY wanted Gore ! Also much thanks to Joc for keeping Colston thus not taking a higher draft slot -- still scratching my head on that but can't argue with Colston as IMO he was the 2-3 rd best WR last season down the stretch.

The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 He was pretty steady last year besides being a little banged up. With Martz Gore becomes a PPR gold mine ! Only question is can he stay healthy - If healthy Gore is a top 5 back with Martz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,552 Posted April 28, 2008 With Martz Gore becomes a PPR gold mine ! Only question is can he stay healthy - If healthy Gore is a top 5 back with Martz. He was already very good in the PPR area. It was close, but I had to go with the safer keeper in Brady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 He was already very good in the PPR area. It was close, but I had to go with the safer keeper in Brady. IMO - I just cannot take a QB early ! Brady burned me last year bigtime -- I was 13-0 regular seaspn with Brady - Moss hook up. Got destroyed week 15 much like you in this league. I traded Brady in that league for Colston and Rothleiberger and didn't look back. ( have since traded Roth for palmer though ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( have since traded Roth for palmer though ) If this league only scored pass TDs 3 or 4 instead of the six, then I most likely wouldn't have kept Brady. Also, now that the NFL draft is over...I'm looking forward to the MFFL draft to fill the dead space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 i like Gore this year, but i wouldn't expect more than 60 or so recs.... honestly - not naming names is there anyone other than Gore you woulda taken here ? I thought it was a no brainer actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
famousb 11 Posted April 28, 2008 honestly - not naming names is there anyone other than Gore you woulda taken here ? I thought it was a no brainer actually. i have 2 guys ranked higher than him right now in my preliminary rankings, but i find zero fault in you having him higher than both of those two... i think other than the top5 guys, there's a WHOLE lot of subjectiveness in this year's RBs.

The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 Well In have the RB top 5 this season as 1. AD 2. LT 3. Westy 4. Sjax and 5. Gore In PPR Frank should go crazy - as Gore is ALOT better at pass recieving than K. Jones and Martz will use Frank like used Faulk. The simple fact that Martz will be playing a wide open O will make runnign running lanes as well. I can easily see a Healthy Gore getting over 2K total yards and 10 - 15 TD's , 60 - 80 rec. Lofty numbers but if healthy IMO reachable. Look what he did in 1 season with Norv ?

famousb 11 Posted April 28, 2008 i like Slo's pick of CPortis... i have him as the 4th rated RB this year. Ahead of AP, Gore, and Addai... no reason to think his production falls off any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 Portis is solid but he was maybe 5th on my list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

famousb 11 Posted April 28, 2008 Portis is solid but he was maybe 5th on my list. yeah, he's one of the two i have ahead of Gore, and think they are interchangeable dependent upon your drafting style. I like Portis simply because i see him as the more durable, and safer option. Whereas i think Gore has more top end due to the explosive potential of the offense... i wouldn't complain about either on my team... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since they've already been picked I'll tell you: I have 1. Westbrook, 2. Adrian Peterson, 3. Ladainian Tomlinson, 4. S. Jackson, 5. Frank Gore. That's my ppr order if there wasn't a keeper.

The Moz 69 Posted April 28, 2008 I emailed dehaven so we will see. I see 3 more elite players left to choose from then it becomes a total crap shoot !

What the fock was I thinking NO CLUE -- you coulda had Colston in the 3rd round and picked 1st overall and grabed Gore or Portis or a few other people yet to be named. YIKES ! I know though you are just handicapping yourself at the start becasue you know you are already so much better at teh drafting than any of us ! we all thank you for that - especially me !

After an hour in the war room with 2 mocks complete. I'm going with plan B. I will hope to land _______ in the 2nd round. I will follow up with a startling pick in the 3rd round, and taking a highlighted/targeted player for my 4th. You see, this will all work out in the end!

Gepetto 989 Posted April 28, 2008 just found out I won a FFToday t shirt ! finished 2nd in the draft contest ! I got 6 called right but figured I didn't have a shot at top 10. Damn. Now the question is will is ever get sent out ! I won last year. I took several emails and finally used an email other than the one I have set up with fftoday to contact Mike. Not sure if he has some really strict email blocking settings, or just reads every 5th email or so. It's a really cool shirt b/c it's got the FFToday logo across the front.

hellothere 1 Posted April 28, 2008 even though we all love to draft im sure....i dont think we can get onto people for taking hours or even days this week to pick. i doubt any of us are 100% researched at this point. it will be tough because drafting is so fun.
