GoTs Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Reality is, for FI, that they have 3 Tier one players. Noone else does. If they hit only average/slightly below average RB's they will be right in the thick of things. Still plenty of Barlows, Fosters, Bell/Andersen's, Suggs etc out there for them to fill their roster. While everyone else is trying to pick up Tier 3-4 WR, they'll be looking at tier 3-4 rb. Probably much less of a crap shoot than Tier 3-4 WR.

Pancake Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 #4 pick is narrowed down to WR or QB. Conventional wisdom says that only 4 or 5 more QBs will go off the board after The Huddle's #4 pick (and before their #5 pick) and if WW has a particular QB in mind that he feels confident in that will fall to him then he should pull the trigger on a WR here.

Sgt. Ryan Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hey Sarge, great post. Tim would appreciate it. I actually know Tim rather well. We spent 4 years in the Air Force together and have been friends for over a decade now. I'm the guy that got him started in FF (Just mention the name Capt Penoyer to him ). As for it working in the IDP league, don't completely discount it. Watching the way the other 'expert' teams draft, he just might swing it. On Tim's FF skills, I'm still in the original league he joined 10 years ago, plus wo others we have joined together. One is a redraft and the others are auctions. Tim is almost always in the playoffs. However, he may not willing admit it, but I beat him more often than not. 947630[/snapback] Lets just say in SOFA IDP, Im drafting very similar, as I generally do with Deuce, Holt, Gates, and LB Ray Lewis. Three tier 1 players and Deuce could very well be there by seasons end, to go with Chris Brown, Ronnie Brown at RB, and Rod Smith in round 7 at WR thus far. We are just beginning round 8 there, so thats all I got so far. Those keeping track at home, FI in Sofa IDP has QB Culpepper, RBs A Green, M Bennett, WR Travis Taylor, TE Gonzo, DL J Peppers, LB Donnie Edwards through 7 rounds.

Randall Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I'd go Gates and then Bulger or AJ on the swing 947720[/snapback] Andre Johnson? What no Burleson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoTs Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yea, I know I'm from Houston. Truthfully, cannot stand the Texans. Have yet to draft a single one since they joined. I think Johnson will be gone to FSP, I'd go with Bulger. If DMD and WW think he's the 3rd best QB (according to cheat sheet), they'd be crazy not to pick'em.

Pancake Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 With 9 WRs off the board and only 3 QBs off the board it looks like WW's impact player will be a QB at the #4 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Andre Johnson? What no Burleson? 947778[/snapback] WW probably likes Porter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Ryan Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) Now you're confusing me. You say his strategy will completely break down in the IDP league, but you're taking a similar approach? 947907[/snapback] Similar approach is not the same approach. I also grabbed value of top tier players as he did, thus we both have top tier TEs, LBs, where others were taking tier 3 and 4 Wrs and Rbs, but that is basically where it ends. He has a top tier QB in Culpepper, but there is still 2nd tier Qbs on the board in round 8 and 9 who will be much closer to Culpeppers #s than any WR left compared to that of Holts at WR, thus Culpepper in round 1 was terrible value as it turns out. I have Rod Smith as my #2 WR, he doesnt have a #2 yet. His #1 WR is Travis Taylor in round 6, maybe the worst value pick of the draft, unless you count his other pick Michael bennett in round 5. Taylor may turn out to be a good pick, but when you take a sleeper in round 6, he really isnt a sleeper anymore, hes your #1 at the position. J Peppers isnt even the top rated DL, and he took him in round 4, when there is equal talent still available in round 8. So that is not value either. Culpepper in round 1 vs a tier 2 QB I get in the next few rounds A Green vs Deuce M Bennett vs Ronnie Brown and Chris Brown T Taylor vs Tory Holt ? vs Rod Smith Gonzo vs Gates Julius Peppers in round 4 vs equal talent in round 8 (Charles Grant) Donnie Edwards vs Ray Lewis Lets just say he may be your boy and hes a super nice guy, but based on this above, plus many other teams I see as superior, his streak is over.

Pancake Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) FI 1st RB drafted is M. Bennett. Man oh Man is that a ballsy position to be in. I wish I knew if the drafter was targeting a different RB to fall or if he thought that M. Bennnet would be sitting here waiting for him.

Rovers Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 The Gates pick was good, and rather obvious. The Burleson pick caught me by surprise though. Burleson and Jordan .... either you like them or you don't it seems. I happen to think both will have good years. I have Burleson ranked the same way WW has him, pretty high.

Ulterior Motives Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Fantasy Insights always blows me away with their "gun slinger" drafting style, yet every year they are either walking away with the trophy or close to it. 946680[/snapback] Well all, Fantasy Insights' main culprit here...finally, after all these years. A couple of mice pointed out to me that this was the place to hear all the talk about the SOFA drafts... Gun slinger style huh?

Glad I could lead you to the promise land. Just get rid of the Handbook as your IDP tool. Its outdated already and some tool wrote all the stuff in there.

Ulterior Motives Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Tim and I spoke on email just yesterday and he seems to be a very knowledgable guy, and I have no reason to say anything negative about him.

Big Mac Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Have the IDP guys switched over here? Based on this discussion I will certainly be watching the Insights vs. Huddle battle all season.

It's very obvious that its calculated as you end up with a very competative team every year. I would love to know what your thought process is regarding this years draft. It appears you are taking the best player off the board each round regardless of the fact that the RBs available to you by the 4th round are very speculative (IMO). EDIT: After looking on all SOFA (classic, IDP, Auction) I see that FI has M. Bennett in all three....Hmmmmm Edited August 26, 2005 by Pancake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
