Ziachild007 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Maybe not the best way to ask that question, but is there anyone you will go out of your way to get in your drafts. For me, as a lot of you know, its Andre Johnson. So far out of the 8 leagues I am in I have managed to get him in 6. I usually dont reach for him, but will take him early in the second if I need to. I honestly think that is about where he should be going.......up there with the Fitzgeralds and Colstons, but still behind Wayne, Moss, and probably TO. If I can't manage to snag him in the draft I will overpay to get him via trade if I can. Is there anyone you go out of your way to get?

Is there anyone you go out of your way to get? that seems to be where everyone else has him, so I'm surprised you'd end up with him in 75% of your leagues. I can't think of anyone that really fits that bill for me this year. I'm ending up with chris perry quite a bit, but I don't think I'm reaching for him at all. it's more like, "he's still there? really? well, ok " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm74 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have a major man crush on Brandon Marshall. Not sure why but I have him on one team and I am trying to get him in the others. I am considering trading Colston & Chris Johnson for Marshall & McFadden... not sure he goes for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tford Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Roddy White. Got him in 3 out of 4 startups this year. On defense, it's been Matt Wilhelm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Of course you all know who my man-crush is. Unfortunately I was unable to get Stewart in the AOTOAP but am, at this moment, thinking of a trade offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I seem to be ending up with Cotchery in a lot of leagues. And Lavenues in those where I don't have Jerrico. I scarcely think it's man-love, however. I always draft Brad Smith in my 32 team leagues, just because I'm a Missouri fan. Considering Rucker in a couple.

Randall Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I can't think of anyone I have to have but like Steve Smith and Brandon Marshall even with their suspensions. I also like Andre but he's never been there where I wanted him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ending up with chris perry quite a bit, but I don't think I'm reaching for him at all. it's more like, "he's still there? really? well, ok " Some are dynasty leagues, where I either drafted him in previous years or traded for him. GMX (2005 - 16 teams) : gave up Everett, Kevin BUF TE Urlacher, Brian CHI LB 2006 rookie 3.11 got back: Johnson, Andre HOU WR 2006 rookie 2.16 2006 rookie 5.16 ATAP (2008 - 16 teams): gave up Grossman, Rex CHI QB Woodson, Andre' NYG QB Colston, Marques NOS WR Year 2009 Round 1 Draft Pick got back: Johnson, Andre HOU WR Davis, Andra CLE LB DeCoud, Thomas ATL S Year 2009 Round 4 Draft Pick AOTAOP (2008 - 16 team): Drafted him at 1.14 (Although it was my second pick. Took LT at 1.03) TAR (2008 - 8 team auction): Spent $37 on him, roughly 19% of the cap. HFA2 (2008 - 32 team): Started with him as one of my 8 homer keepers. Spy Sweeper (2008 - 14 team): Drafted him at 2.09 (Good value for a 14 teamer I think. I have one more local draft Saturday, but unless I get a late first round pick, I probably won't end up with him there. My affection for him in that league is very well known.

Pkillebr Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I plan on drafting Eddie Royal in the last round or two in my leagues. Got him in 14th of 15 rounds last week. I'm also looking for McNabb over any other of the tier two QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I grabbed Roddy White in both my leagues but mostly just because he was there later than I thought he should have been. In fact, while I sort of had him targeted, I made a point of waiting at least a round later than he should have gone based on my rankings because I figured I could get away with it. Turns out, I was right. Other than that, my teams are completely different and sort of by design. I'm completely convinced that Brees will go off and was ecstatic to land him at the end of the 4th in my 8 team league. I would have had a really hard time passing on him with pick 3.05 in my 10 man but he didn't last that long. Good news is, however, that the aforementioned Andre Johnson did (which was certainly among my favorite picks in that draft). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cory_n_az Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Wouldn't say major man love, but I don't pass on Chris Johnson or Chris Perry in PPRs when they're sitting there Rounds 7-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoog Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Vincent Jackson - He will have a bigger year than Chambers. They have been careful with him and protecting his hammy so it does not bother him during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policyvote Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Chad Johnson--I've had him in my local, Dynasty Wars, both, and/or any of my other leagues for about six years running. Last year, in my local, I blew out my auction cap on him, and when the bidding was closed donned a brand-new CJ jersey. Fortunately for me I blew the rest of my cash on Tom Brady and SJAX, and despite starting scrubs at nearly every other position I cashed in. I won it all, as I did the first year I had him . . . I think a six-season run of making the playoffs, starting and ending with a championship. This year, I'd already decided to 'break up' with CJ--I traded him away in Dynasty Wars and I won't be keeping him or paying for him in my local. It's sad to see a mancrush end, but the Bungles are once again a train wreck and Ocho Cinco's the brakeman. Peace policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have wagered that the Delhomme to Smith love would return this year in several leagues. I have Steve Smith and sometimes Delhomme too. I failed a few years ago when I wagered on the McNair to Mason magic moving from Tennessee to Baltimore, but hopefully I'm right about this.

Patriots Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 A guy in my league will take Randy Moss with his first pick no matter what. He took him with the 2nd pick last year. Peeople laughed at him. He then has to scrap for RBs later on and he ends up with AD. He almost went undefeated last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
