Cara 0 Posted August 16, 2012 Lynch likely won't be suspended until next season if at all. Agreed. I don't see him getting suspended at all. Both have upside, but I would take AP here. Lynch has his "career" year last season, same time he was due a new contract. He has all the talent in the world, but never seems motivated. AP is more motivated than ever.

Since when is your RB 3 so important that you cannot afford to gamble? Do you mean since he is going RB RB RB he had better be hitting on them?

Ditka vs. ______ 0 Posted August 16, 2012 Reggie Bush. Don't you think #24 is a little high for Bush? Not saying to pass on him, I just think you could wait a few rounds, and still pick him up. His ADP in a 10 team league is 6.02. If you draft a player 2-3 rounds early, any value that you would have gotten from that player is now gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc91 0 Posted August 16, 2012 If u already have Mccoy and Mcfadden then I would go AP... Higher upside and if you grab Gerhardt later then you will have a solid core of RB's .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought you said can't afford to gamble. My bad. carry on. Don't you think #24 is a little high for Bush? Not saying to pass on him, I just think you could wait a few rounds, and still pick him up. His ADP in a 10 team league is 6.02. If you draft a player 2-3 rounds early, any value that you would have gotten from that player is now gone. Yeah I was playing. I like bush better than both of them but would not pick him at early. I hope to get him in the fifth/sixth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timFFBA 0 Posted August 16, 2012 Lynch not likely to be suspended in 2012. That being said, if AP is still on the board there, grab him. He is an amazing athlete and will certainly be able to put his injury behind him. The Vikes are going to rely heavily on him too this year. Christian Ponder is still not able to do much more than manage the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynch has his "career" year last season, same time he was due a new contract. He has all the talent in the world, but never seems motivated. AP is more motivated than ever. i see a lot of people going with the "lazy" angle on Lynch. some even saying last year was his only good year. i'll be the first to admit, i targeted him in redrafts and keepers last year because he was playing for a contract but people seem to lose sight of what he did for 2 years in buffalo before more or less losing his job to suspension and injury. i think he has the trust of pete carroll and his line played pretty well last year. i'm not saying to take him over peterson in this situation, i just wanted to comment on Lynch.

GobbleDog 823 Posted August 17, 2012 I agree with the FFtoday "Draft Killers" article about Lynch. Those were some fluky-ass TDs and yardage at the end of the year. He'll struggle mightily to finish 11th or better, which is his current ranking among RBs. Given AP's history, it's very conceivable who could finish 9th or better, his current ranking.

Kopy 496 Posted August 17, 2012 screw both of em and get Julio Not exactly julio, depending on how the draft turns out. But I'm still thinking along the same lines. My main question is: Are you able to start a RB as a flex? Then one of those guys might be ok. But if not, and depending who else would be available at that pick. I'd never want my 3rd round pick to be a platoon, or a bench guy. I want my first 5 picks or so to be guys I start every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 823 Posted August 17, 2012 I'd never want my 3rd round pick to be a platoon, or a bench guy. I want my first 5 picks or so to be guys I start every week. I've backed up RBs too early and it leads to mediocrity. I was covered in case of injury, but those back-ups scored bench points while my competition was firing on all cylinders. Better to roll the dice and fill the starting roster before drafting great bench warmers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given AP's history, it's very conceivable who could finish 9th or better, his current ranking. that article was kind of the writer mentions Lynch having 13 TD's in 2011 versus just 24 for "his previous five years combined". The first issue is that he was only in the league for 4 years prior to 2011. Also fails to mention being suspended 3 games in 2009 and having a 2010 season full of injury and a midseason trade. His first two seasons in the league he scored 16 total TD's and in his 5th season he scored 13. Yeah he probably won't match that, but he seems to have shown a nose for the endzone in all of his healthy seasons as his teams starter. Hell, even in his two suspension shortened and injury shortened seasons he managed another 8 scores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
