Attention all #5 Picks! Who did/will you take and why?

[Oblivion 0]

My draft is on Sunday and i have the #5 Pick. This is assuming that #1 will be LT, #2 will be AP # 3 Will be westbrook and #4 will be Addai. That leaves us in an interesting spot. We could follow the trend and grab Gore/Barber here which i don't see as horrible, but what im curious about is what about Brady?

I've never taken a QB this early in a draft before but SJax scares the hell out of me with his hold out and his team and oline being sub-par. What im wondering is what you all did/or would do and how your team panned out or what your draft strategy will be if you do go Brady/Moss?

[Voelk 0]

I was fortunate in that addai was still around at #5 in my most recent draft and I didn't have to make that decision... that being said I have always been a believer in the "stud rb in the first round" theory and with recent news about jackson I'd be very tempted to look there.

I took Brady #6 overall last year in a 12 team league and I'd do it again. He constantly outscored my opponent's QB by a wide margin and minimized my liabilities if other players underperformed. He'd be good for a 15-20pt differential on opponent QB's which at times felt like I was playing with an extra player.

I have the number 5 pick in my draft on Sunday. I am hoping SJax gets taken before me and I'll be happy. If not, I have MBIII ranked #5, even though I don't want to take him that high.

at the 5 spot in a league that drafted august 5th (.5 ppr, 1 qb, 2 rbs, 3 wrs, 1 flex, 1 te, 1 def, 1 k), here's my team:

 

round 1 - joseph addai, rb

round 2 - andre johnson, wr

round 3 - wes welker, wr

round 4 - thomas jones, rb

round 5 - edgerrin james, rb

round 6 - marvin harrison, wr

round 7 - jericho cotchery, wr

round 8 - derrick mason, wr

round 9 - marc bulger, qb

round 10 - matt schaub, qb

round 11 - ryan torain, rb

round 12 - darrell jackson, wr

round 13 - pierre thomas, rb

round 14 - donald lee, te

round 15 - limas sweed, wr

round 16 - seattle defense

round 17 - shayne graham, k

round 18 - fred jackson, rb

 

i've since made some deals and pick-ups, but that's how it was for me about 3 weeks ago.

I hope you are in a no TE league

[BunnysBastatrds 1,954]

The 5 Pick in my league-

 

T Brady QB

R Bush RB

A Johnson WR

T Jones RB

S Young RB

L Evans WR

NBurelson WR and so on........

 

Take Barber, Gore, or S Jax. You get stuck with ###### if you choose a QB that early. Good luck!

Our #5 picked ended up getting Westbrook because Manning went #3. We are a very heavy qb scoring league and Brady went #2. He went Bush second round (ppr league) and then got Holt, Marshall, and Calvin Johnson. What really makes me mad is I could have traded into this spot but I didn't expect Westbrook to be there and I liked the 12/13 slot (until I did some mock drafts).

If passing TDs are 6 points in your league, you really can't go wrong with Brady.

Not really, no. And especially not if it's a PPR league.

Yes it is. Michael Westbrook hasn't played since 2002. I'd at least wait until the second round to get him.

You took Brady LAST year with the 6th overall selection? I don't believe you.

I wouldnt lie on a FF message board, this is the one place in life where I'm sure all of us are always telling 100% of the truth. Butt seriously, with Moss and Welker as additions, I decided that this was going to be the one year I pull the trigger way early on a QB and it just felt like Brady was lined up to have a huge season. I had confidence my Sleeper knowledge would carry me through the rest of my picks to afford taking Brady this early. Want another laugh? My next pick in the 2nd round was AllDayPurpleJesus. I rolled the dizz-ice last year.

Westy is a steal at the #5 slot.

 

This is a ppr league and no TE required.

Oh just saw I put M.Westbrook. Sorry with the 1.05 I took B.Westbrook..too funny

Wow. In my league, D. Williams and R. Williams were taken 5.5 and 5.6. Always choose your RBs early if you're playing in an FFtoday league.
