had our draft last night. went alright...coulda been better

[757Hokie83]

what do you guys think:

QB: Cam Newton
RB: Le'veon Bell
RB: Chris Johnson
WR: Cordarrelle Patterson
WR: Julian Edelman
TE: Jimmy Graham
FLEX: Knowshon Moreno
D/ST: Houston
K: Nick Novak

Bench:
Jay Cutler
Martellus Bennett
Jarrett Boykin
Terrance West
Dwayne Bowe
Mike Tolbert
Jerricho Crotchery


I had the 9th pick of the first round, the top RB's were gone...so i pulled the trigger on Graham.

Looks like the commish changed up the scoring and we dont score on yardage anymore, just TDs

 

[SteelersPride]

how many teams hokie

assuming it was something like this
1-graham
2-bell
3-?patterson?
4-cj1k?
5-newton?

 

[757Hokie83]

12 team league

pretty much, but i think i went

1-TE
2-RB
3-RB
4-WR

can't remember if i took Newton in the 5th, or another WR in the 5th and Newton in the 6th

 

[SteelersPride]

to be honest with you , i think you reached, there had to be better options than bell and cj1k available in my 12 team cj went in like round 7-8......should of been much stronger talent there, and cam in the 5th this year isnt worth it........wr's are weak, rb;s are weak, no rb depth, 1 starter some time shares and back ups

you gotta make some moves

yeah i plan on it. problem with my league, no one likes to do trades, so it all depends on what i can get on waivers

to be fair, this is only my second year doing fantasy and my first time doing the draft, so i'm still getting in the swing of it, lol

 

[SteelersPride]

no worries it may work out, just my thoughts......not being a jerk, try to be honest

if you wanna post like the top 10 wr, rb, on your free agency lists maybe we can help you pick a few out, also as of now start cutler over cam IMHO

 

[757Hokie83]

no worries. Like I said, last year i wasnt able to participate in the draft and forgot to set up the auto draft thing, so i started off with some shit like 4 qbs and 3 TEs, 3 D's, ended up third in my division.

that cant be whats available, half those guys are 4th strings or unemployed

that cant be whats available, half those guys are 4th strings or unemployed

lol, it looks like ESPN is automatically ordering them by 2013 points

If i go by %owned, McCluster is tops with 18%, then Tre MAson with 6%, then a buncha dudes at 3%

B. Cunningham, Ronnie Hillman, Latavius Murray, Jaquizz Rogers

 

[757Hokie83]

Marlon Brown is available at WR too, you think Baldwin over Brown?

 

[SteelersPride]

some interesting Rb' flyers, not that seattle passes a ton, but baldwin is still a starting wr............and not bad.....

brown, is hurt, and i really think sanu steals his looks in the first few games...

 

[757Hokie83]

what do you think about Kelvin Benjamin? I notice he is owned in about half the leagues on ESPN, most of what i read says he is likely a boom or bust kinda guy

 

[SteelersPride]

once again def better than cotch

i dunno how much value tolbert, or bennett off u on ur bench, maybe some others can chime in here

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

If you're only scoring on TDs, I don't really like your team at all. Bell may not even be the goal line back in Pitt, cj1k won't get many TDs at all, you got no red zone targets outside of Graham, Cam is injured, and you're bench isn't great. I think you got screwed finding out that yards aren't being scored in this league cuz that team is very good at getting yards, but terrible at getting TDs.

yeah, i've been questioning tolbert, and Bennett to a degree...but not as much (figure he might come in handy in the Flex spot)...just with who is available, i dont know who i would dump them for, lol

yeah, i (stupidly) assumed we were going with the same rules as last year. Realized after the draft that the scoring changed.

the good news, looking at others' rosters, i think at least 2 or 3 others made the same assumption

 

[SteelersPride]

wow i missed that u said td only league, def get benjamin
