smithkt Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm in the middle of a draft for a new dynasty league and I'm looking for some insight on the defensive line guys still left out there. We need to start three. Scoring for DL is: 6 points per touchdown. 10 points per safety. 3 points per sack (1.5 points per half sack). 3 points per solo tackle. 2 point per assist. 1 point per pass defensed. 1 point per forced fumble. 2 points per fumble recovered or interception caught. Currently on my roster: Hall, James DET DE Mathis, Robert IND DE Peppers, Julius CAR DE This is the top ten players still available in their order of finish for 2005: Pickett, Ryan STL DT Bernard, Robert SEA DT Payne, Seth HOU DT Hamilton, Bobby OAK DE Holliday, Vonnie MIA DE Gregg, Kelly BAL DT Jackson, Grady GBP DT Williams, Jamal SDC DT Kelly, Tommy OAK DE Rucker, Mike CAR DE Of these, the following have my interest: Rocky Bernard has shown improvement in his three year. Huge jump in sack numbers and tackles this past year. Is this because he saw much more playing time? Mike Rucker seems to be up and down from year to year. I would have expected greater consistancy lined up opposite Peppers. Kelly Gregg was a consistant performer in the past, but his numbers tumbled a bit this year. Is this because of the scheme change? Wasn't he playing at DE at times as well? Will he bounce back? It's hosted at MFL if you want to look: Draft Report Any feedback you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

smithkt Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Rucker, Mike CAR DE 1347909[/snapback] Thanks for the reply Sarge. Am I wrong in thinking he seems to be up and down? Any thoughts on this? I do appreciate the time, I'm just hoping for a little more than just a name. If that's all you can provide though, it is still appreciated.

Sgt. Ryan Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Lets break down the litter. This is the top ten players still available in their order of finish for 2005: Pickett, Ryan STL DT - played for a contract, was nothing before last yr. Bernard, Robert SEA DT - solid, but has only done it once Payne, Seth HOU DT - May be coming off the bench in 06 Hamilton, Bobby OAK DE - on his final leg Holliday, Vonnie MIA DE - on his final leg Gregg, Kelly BAL DT - productive, but took a dip last yr Jackson, Grady GBP DT - Trash Williams, Jamal SDC DT - Trash Kelly, Tommy OAK DE - Trash Rucker, Mike CAR DE - Definately up and down, but has the potential for double digit sacks, and some of the others will be on the waiver wire, where he wont be after a good showing. So at this time, I jump on Rucker, and dump him if he starts off slow for someone not named above on your WW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Rucker's the best off that list, but Bernard may be worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithkt Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks Darin. I actually wound up taking both Rucker and Bernard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall has certainly raised some eyebrows. Mathis is solid. Peppers is .... well ... Peppers. And Rucker and Bernard give you some insurance and/or bye week fillers. Nicely done!

Robash Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 where you at in the rook draft? and how many teams...DL is a pretty low scoring position...and im curious as to other position players that might be available for better value...if your draft position is late DE might be a good option for you there instead of passing up on a better posittion now...and id bet that at least one guy you favor from this list will still be there by your next pick...hard to tell though without seeing rosters,draft position and such.

smithkt Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Robash, the scoring system in this league actually makes the DL a higher scoring unit than you might expect. They are right in line with LBs. These picks were my 29th and 30th in a 50 round draft. You can see the entire draft by using the link I included in the first post. There are 12 teams. As for the rookie draft, I pick #1. That won't take place until after the NFL draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Man that was a strange draft to view. 3 WR's, a TE and QB in the first round, some players didn't draft a RB until round 4? Very unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unusual. 1397785[/snapback] TEs get 2pts per reception, WRs get 1, RBs get none. If you look at the top performers reports, you'll see Gates finished #4 overall. Only four RBs finished in the top 25. LT, LJ, SA and Tiki. The rest of the top 25 is dominated by WRs and QBs. It's not a typical scoring system and it really has an impact on the drafting style. The formation based starting requirements also play a roll as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another unusual system. One of the highest scorers for the season was Rackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
