Whom to pick at 1.01 Veteran Draft?

Recommended Posts

I took over a rather bad team during last season and ended up with the 1.01 pick in the veterans draft.

Standard scoring, non PPR, start 1 QB / 1-2 RB / 2-3 WR / 1 TE / 1 k / 1 DEF

 

my keepers are:

Kyle Orton - QB - Broncos

Kenny Britt - WR - Titans

Antonyo Bryant - WR - Bengals

Johnny Knox - WR - Bears

Vernon Davis - TE - 49ers

 

Available players are:

Ronnie Brown - RB - Dolphins

Willie Parker - RB - Steelers

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Correl Buckhalter - RB - Broncos

Julius Jones - RB - Seahawks

Steve Smith - WR - Panthers

Santonio Holmes - WR - Steelers

Dwayne Bowe - WR - Chiefs

Wes Welker - WR - Patriots

 

Who would you take?

and why?

 

keep in mind it is a 16 team league...

Thanks for your help

I would pick Bowe because I think that he will score the most fantasy points in his career from this point forward in your league. I like his potential and I see his ceiling higher than the others.

 

Of course I like Holmes but I think that the Steelers will get back to running the ball more and they have plenty of other options on offense.

 

And I joined the never draft a Rat's RB club years ago so I would stay away from FWParker.

Well you could certainly use a running back, but I can't justify picking up a 29, 30 or 32 yr-old RB to rebuild a dynasty team. Personally I'd take Bowe. He'll be 26 years old when the season starts, he'll have an offensive coordinator who is pro-pass, and the writing is on the wall that KC will be adding some offensive linemen through the draft to allow Cassel more throwing time. My second choice would be Steve Smith, but I'm passing on him since he's 5 years older than Bowe and likely on the decline. Welker's knee injury concerns me. Holmes would be a possibility, but he's not the clear #1 WR on the Giants and the dude can't seem to keep out of legal trouble.

 

Good Luck.

I would say this too. He has the most upside of any RB available.
