Who has the most short term/long term value in dynasty leagues?

 

Shipley, CIN

I don't know that any of us can answer this one, but I'll give it a shot.

 

1. Shipley - His talent is about a 7 (on a 10 scale), opportunity is about a 7 as well (he has a good chance of starting in the slot this year, and that is his natural role. With the other WRs and with Palmer, he could shine.

Hard working coachable kid.

 

2. Sanders - I've said it before, I love his game so his talent is about a 7.5. He's pretty much a shorter clone of Mike Wallace. Will do best as an outside deep threat WR, but could play the slot. He will have to wait for Ward to decline to get his best shot. He's coachable and will learn from Ward and Wallace. Opportunity is about a 6.

 

3. Edwards - He's extremely raw but just might have the most talent. Was miscast as a QB in college. Kind of a McCluster type. Hard to rate his talent vs the rawness of his game. He will play some wild-cat this year, but don't expect any real numbers for a year or two. Could surprise tho, because there aint much competition opposite Steve Smith. Looked very good in shorts (OTAs).

 

4. Price - He has an advanced game and makes the most out of his talent, so he's a Belichick kind of guy. Talent about a 6.5. He will outwork anyone on this list to become a starter. But he is in a clusterfock situation in NE, so he would really have to shine, and i don't think he has the talent to pass up guys like Tate, Edelman or Hernandez, let alone Welker or Moss. If he does, he sure has the right QB. Situation would maybe be a 4.

 

5. Roberts - He's somewhat similar to Price except naturally more talented. I see him as a young Greg Jennings talent-wise, so he's right up there with Sanders, perhaps even moreso, but without the track-star speed. Unfortunately, he went to the wrong situation. AZ has an unproven QB who will overly rely on Fitz. Whisenhunt will move to a "run-first" attack this year. In addition, Breaston and Doucet are well entrenched as starters. Situation would be maybe a 2. Plan on rostering him a number of years with limited production.

 

You picked 5 guys who are all very close and were kind of on my "B" rookie list (along with Eric Decker and Demarious Thomas) who in my eyes are a notch below Dez, Benn, Mike Williams, Hernandez** and McCluster. While this year's WR class isn't as heralded as last year's was, I believe that 3-5 years from now, we will look back and say it was a pretty good group.

 

**Hernandez is technically a TE, but in the mold of a Scheffler or a Keller - really an oversized slot receiver, which is the role he'll play in NE.

What's everyones thoughts on Dez Bryant? I'm picking pretty low in my Dynasty league so all the RB's will be gone. Seriously considering pick him at 10th spot out of 12.

If he's there at 10 pick him, but I doubt he will be.
