G.K.Trey Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 when is Taz gonna give us his rundown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 In addition to that, McD traded up to get TE Quinn last year at the end of the 2nd round. McD clearly appreciates the TE position, but is unable to get his TEs to do what he wants or can't draft for crap. I'm sure that someone else in STL made the draft choices, so I suspect that Kendricks will be used often. I'll have to go back and review or mayne someone here has the answer but didn't Kendricks had nearly has high a vertical jump as Thomas did? One reason I wanted Thomas was because of that vertical jump but if I recall, Kendricks wasn't far off from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 2.05 - Gabbert, Blaine JAC QB - I desparately need a QB and since my main target Dalton was drafted one spot earlier ( ) I took the best QB on the board. I was surprised that he was available considering he was the 4th QB taken (Newton, Ponder, Dalton) and he was my #2 QB, so it worked out pretty good. Although I still think Dalton ends up being the top QB from this class. 3.05 - Gates, Edmond MIA WR - Could have taken Greg Salas or Tandon Doss but opted for Gates. With 12 WRs already drafted, the pickings were slim obviously but I am in deparate need of WRs as the team I inherited was horrible in all facets, especially WR. Gates was a superstar at a small school but has more upside, imo. Apparently he's more polished than Johnny Knox who attended the same school. 4.05 - Bradford, Allen TBB RB - I like this guys combo of size and speed. He's 5-11 and 242 lbs but runs the 40 in the 4.5 range. I think he could be 2nd on the depth chart behind Blount and possibly sharing carries with him. 5.03 - Taylor, Tyrod BAL QB - This was purely a value pick since I need QBs and only have Flacco on my roster and just drafted Gabbert, I decided to take a flyer on the potential backup to Flacco (my starter). I realize 'running' QBs rarely make it in the NFL but this guy has potential. He was named ACC Player of the Year in 2010 as well as offensive player of the year. His stats suggest that he may be more than just an athletic QB by thowing for 2500+ yards and 23 TDs with only 4 ints (60.5% completion rate). He also rushed for 637 yards and five scores. He started 2 full seasons (2009, 2010) and played 600 snaps in 12 games as a freshman. Plus, Ozzie Newsome is one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL and he was insistent that they draft this kid. Again, totally worth the flyer to me.

Brentastic Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 I loved that Gates pick . . . great value there, IMO I still can't believe you took Dalton right before I was gonna grab him. I should have researched who had Carson Palmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 You'll need a lot more than "quality fantasy football production." seriously. A lot more. I will crush everyone. With the team I inherited, you're right. I've already quadrupled the potential of my team by the genius trades I've made so far. But I have a long way to go.

Brentastic Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 I was hoping you'd smack me down, but okay, that works too. I'll do my smackdown on the 'field'. Hey guys, I just realized we are using this forum to discuss league-specific information and this may or may not be offensive to other huddlers who would rather read threads discussing generic values or averages. Even though said huddlers can choose to open this thread or not, we may be violating the hopes and dreams of other huddlers who have a more simplified and general idea of what a fantasy discussion board is meant for.

Brentastic Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 I appreciate what you're saying, but I think a thread like this is exactly what a message board like this would want. I say that if the mods and admins are okay with it that we worry not. I'm being facetious. See Bronco Billy's 1st post in the 'Top 60 Rookies...' thread.
