Anyone go RB-RB-RB?

[Antiramie 50]

It wasn't by any means my strategy going into the draft, but Lacy/Martin/Morris were too hard to pass up through the first three rounds.

 

Anyone else do the same? And are you satisfied with the results?

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

I like to diversify my team unless the value play demands i go that route. To me, morris isnt that safe of a back to pass on a stud receiver if one i like is still there. Also wouldnt have passed on julius thomas for morris.

[stonewall 647]

I tend to reach a little bit for guys I really like, so I ended up starting the draft with with Ben Tate, Ridley, & Moreno. Luckily, I was able to snag Golden Taint and Allen Hurns next.....and snatched up Derek Carr in the 6th and Pettigrew in the 7th. The rest of my draft was mostly just fliers.

 

I'm cautiously optimistic.

[BobSanders_33 127]

I wasn't planning on it either but from the 9 I went Ball, Bernard, and Ellington. That left me a little weak at WR with White and E Sanders but I'm still holding my Josh Gordon lottery ticket.

Best WRs at 2.07 were Brown, Jeffery, Cobb. Best WRs at 3.06 were Andre, Cruz, Roddy. Julius went 3.01.

[BuschWack 56]

I went RB, RB, RB, RB.

 

Our .5 PPR 14 team league starts 1QB, 1RB, 2WR, 1TE, 3 Flex (RB,WR,TE), DST, K.

 

Not by design I drafted players I felt gave me great value in the flex spots as they fell to me using Doug's Big Board.

 

Drafting in the 6th spot I got in order:

 

Lacy, Ball, Ellington, Gerhart and then took Brady in the 5th.

 

My WR's: Welker, Cooks, Randle, Matthews, Britt. TE: Rudolph. I need Welker to come back in a big way.

 

I also nabbed Bernard Pierce and Helu later in draft.

[GreenTD 56]

I didn't exactly go RB-RB-RB but I had the 2nd pick in a 10-team league last night. We just switched to a PPR league & none of the guys I drafted with have played in a PPR league before. I went McCoy, Jeffrey, Gio, & for some strange reason L. Bell fell to me in the 4th. Every time someone asked if Bell had been taken, someone spouted off he was getting suspended for the dope charge.

 

Not the brightest of fellas but I'll take it to the bank all day, everyday.

You drafted that stable of RBs in a 14 team league? There was no way you could pass on the value. That is one trade or waiver WR blow up receiver away from being a super stacked team.

Yes.

I hope so. Last years champ went heavy on WR. And took WR's with his first 3 picks, Vereen in the 4th and WR/WR in the 5th and 6th.. I went opposite.

 

He and I have finished 1/2 the last two years.

[Johnnybmoto 0]

I had the 2nd pick in a 12 teamer went,

 

McCoy, M. Ball, Gerhart with my first 3

You do realize josh Gordon is banned for the season

Forte, Martin, Bell (picked 6 out of 12)

in a PPR league there is no way that would work .

[Giants Fan 85]

One league I went WR, RB, RB.

 

Also, was not my plan, but in a 12 team PPR I got:

 

Demarius Thomas, Montee Ball and Leveon Bell from the 8 hole.

 

I just couldn't say no when these guys fell to me. Feel like I got 3 first round draft picks.

 

Roster is pretty sick. Also got Ray Rice, Sproles, Kenny Stills, Mike Evans, Vernon Davis, Martellus Bennett, ... streaming Kaepernick and Rivers.

Yeah that roster isnt that great. Mediocre? Sure. I did go k, def, k, k, punter, rb, qb, def once and still won my league. True story.

[Giants Fan 85]

Dude, 12 team, big money league you can't afford and I got Demarius Thomas, Montee Ball and Leveon Bell in that draft. All 3 are valid first rounders.

 

I can wait 2 weeks for Ray Rice as my RB3!

 

Stud WR corps, stud TEs, stud D, stud kicker. Streaming Kaepernick and Rivers.

 

Team is dangerous.

[Giants Fan 85]

I left out Justin Hunter, and others. 20 slots deep. Deets in the Geek Club.

[Tom_Brady's_feet 0]

wr wr RB RB RB RB --dez, nelson, Gerhart, Jennings, Sankey, Joique Bell. Colin Kaep in 7th.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

I hate kap this year. That offense does not look good.

That's your opinion.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

That's your opinion.

Didnt claim it was anyone elses

[Patriotica 5]

I had no intent to do so but ended up going LAcy, Bernard, Ellington having had the #4 pick in a 12 teamer.

[southcarolina 166]

I got talked into an 8 team league this year. Not terribly enthusiastic about it, but the commish is a friend and he needed one more to make the league go....I got tied up and wasnt able to make the draft, luckily i had played with the pre ranker a bit beforehand...this was my autodraft draft (from the 6 spot)

 

Jamal Charles

Eddie Lacy

Gio Bernard

Al Morris

Keenan Allen

Vincent Jackson

Mike Floyd

Matt Stafford

Jordan Reed

Bengals

Kicker (DAMN YOU AUTODRAFT!!!)

Torey Smith

Kyle Rudolf

Jeremy Hill

Bernard Pierce

Andre Williams

Jay Cutler

Dougie Baldwin

Robert Woods

Delanie Walker

 

 

I mean i know its a crappy 8 teamer, but thats a lot of quality RBs, no?

[knight11e 10]

drafted for a friend who had a conflict in a 10 team non-PPR and these guys just fell to me at the 5 spot:

 

Lacy

Ball

Bernard
Gerhart

 

felt like good value to me

 

edit*: also, it's 2 RB & 2 flex, so all 4 of those guys are starting

[Haterz316 0]

Heading into the draft RB-RB-RB was my strategy and its a PPR league... I was got DeMarco Murray, Montee Ball, and Shane Vereen... Then I was still able to get Cobb and Edelman as my WR's.. I am more then pleased...

[tanatastic 2,061]

If you can start 3rbs then its perfectly viable. Id even say an optimal draft woud be rb, rb, rb, then 2 wrs like roddy, fitz, andrej etc in rnd 4-5. Then a TE if Cameron falls in 6, followed by an excellent qb like Ryan or Romo in rnd 7. Ur absolutely set if the draft goes like that for you. There are good wrs to be had in rnd 4-5 but barely any rbs.

[Pre42 0]

7th pick...Lacy, Ball, Ellington. Followed up with V Jax, Rice, Cutler, Romo, Edelman,T. Williams, Ertz, Hunter, Colston. Like the team. 12 teamer. 6pts per TD.

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

Holy crud. There are guys that still follow this old style of drafting. Wow.

[TimHauck 1,806]

I went RB, RB, RB, RB.

[TheUsualSuspect 207]

Surprised Snatchit hasn't chimed in on this thread, he goes...

 

RB-RB-RB-RB-RB-RB-RB-RB

[BuschWack 56]

 

 

 

 

Ruh roh.

No kiddin.

 

This blows. My only hope for good news is a short recovery time for Lacy and Ellington and a NFL drug policy change for Welker.. Just dumped Thompkins for Gordon this morning.

[eaglesfreak 10]

In 10 team I went mccoy gio Bernard leveon bell and got vjax Cordell's Patterson Wayne maclin Steve smith and hunter as my wrs

[RedzoneMonster 102]

This year was a bad year to go RB RB RB IMO. After the top 5 or 6 rbs on the board I have no more faith in the 2nd tier guys like Stacy Martin etc than I do in the guys you can get later like Vereen, J. Bell, etc. for ex I went RB wr wr wr RB and got Lacy d. Thomas. Jordy. Roddy and Vereen. Even got FJAX late. I have no idea how Thomas and jordy fell to me. Everyone went RB crazy the first 2 rds so maybe my example isn't the greatest but u get the point.

Colston in the 12th round? Thats a joke right?

Yup. You have any other RB's besides Rice? If Lacy and Ellington's status is in question next week that wouldn't be too fun.
