Vikings4ever 550 Posted June 10 Another talented WR, another new QB with question marks. Should be a WR2 at least just due to volume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,734 Posted June 10 Cook and Hubbard were the other 2 backs I was considering when I picked Breece. Really like Hubbards value there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan 66 Posted June 10 No lie. I don't like this point right here. I don't hate any specific pick, but I'm not crazy about walking away from this turn with 2 Arizona playmakers. In a normal league, I'd look to trade. But here, it was Harrison Jr, or settling for someone that I'm just not really as into, or comes with a question mark that bugs me. But I could have justified several other players. I just decided to go with the talent and let depth take care of my "same team" angst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan 66 Posted June 10 7 minutes ago, shovelheadt said: I love Marvin...but this. Yes, and not a small thing. But the goal is to create a mock that people can look at and examine. If I were in a normal league, I would draft the talent, and work him as a commodity, especially when I didn't feel like there was a comparable "next" that I was interested in. So . . . take the talent, work the talent. Clinton Portis as a rookie was buried #4 on the depth chart. I traded more than seemed reasonable to the guy that I got up to #2 in our dynasty draft (rookies/FA), so that I could secure a guy that wasn't guaranteed playing time. Because . . . he was talented. Here . . . I'll just adjust in later rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,734 Posted June 10 Definitely had my eye on Tee as early as 3.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This year it appears that more people are speculating down the list, so to speak. Allowing higher value players to drop more than I have seen in the past.

Vikings4ever 550 Posted June 10 Higgins was the next WR on my list. But he's had a bit of an injury problem, which may be why he's falling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 2,399 Posted June 10 Adams still put up 1,000 yards on a bad team last year. I doubt he does any worse this year on the Rams. I think he's solid value in the 4th round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikings4ever 550 Posted June 10 A week ago, I would have taken Mixon with my 3rd pick. Chubb was awful last year, but another year removed from major surgery on a much better team? He may have enough left in the tank to diminish Mixon's fantasy value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,734 Posted June 10 I get the risk involved with Rashee Rice.. but when you make the decision to take a TE early and don’t pick again until 4.12, the upside of a top 10 receiver is too good to pass up. In another world, I’d see myself taking Tyreek at 3.1 (maybe London had I picked Barkley at 1.1) and finding a value TE later on. Obviously Rice as a WR2 is much more desirable and I could see this being the case in many of my $ drafts Kamara was just a decision to emphasize RB with some theories I’ll maybe discuss during the mock Analysis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumbleweed 547 Posted June 11 Pace has been good so far. Some of the team building concepts are coming into focus. This is my favorite part of the draft because of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 2,399 Posted June 11 This was a sketchy pick but I'm intrigued by Metcalf with Rodgers. This could be the pick that really separates my team from the rest this year. The steelers are a run first team but DK is still the WR1 and he has Rodgers feeding him the ball. Could be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumbleweed 547 Posted June 11 No way I take Williams this early in a PPR league. But, this is NOT a PPR draft and Williams's numbers last year in terms of sheer yards and TDs per game played jumps off the page. Just couldn't pass him up even though I have other positions that needed attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 478 Posted June 11 I picked DK Metcalf and then realized he was taken two picks before, so I changed it to Jaylen Waddle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikings4ever 550 Posted June 11 It's possible that Gibbs takes over in Detroit, but Montgomery feels like a steady producer who's going to vulture plenty of goal line carries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 4,230 Posted June 11 Speaking from the "turn" position of the draft So at this stage of the draft I can see an early RB run and reach was evident, sorta compelling me into WR-WR because the value was too much to pass on. Then of course I am compelled to look long and hard at RB, and perhaps going RB-RB at the next turn would have been suitable, but when I sketched out the rest of the draft I then felt compelled to get Hurts; based on my production forecast I would likely fair better. Now I am down here at the next turn, knowing I have to find some RB value, settling on the kid heading off to NE since I really think he is their day 1 starter, and a three-down player; the question I have is can he endure a workload like that? Flowers was another value pick, he probably should have gone in the prior round, his QB loves him, he was targeted 25% of the time last year, but his efficiency was stellar, I assume he increases his targets this year.....and with his efficiency it could be a real win at this pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
