Rugarthium Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 So your options are:A. 3.2 stud tier 2 wr and at 4.11 mediocre tier 4rb OR B. 3.2 medicore tier 3 rb and 4.11 average tier 3 wr 351990[/snapback] Option A... Last time I checked FF games are won by who has the most points ... not the guy with the most RBs. -Rug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Both these guys are risky. Faulk b/c of age and injuries and Johnson b/c he did it one year and has an unproven QB this year. Who do you think those defenses will be keying on this year? (I am betting Johnson will be doubled all year) Why not take a guy with slightly less upside and know what you are getting. FF is won on consistency and having the 1-2 sleepers that pan out. The 3rd round should be spent on consistent guys. 351988[/snapback] Hasn't Johnson "done it" for 2 years now?

Vote Quimby2 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Is it too early for Thomas Jones or Kevin Jones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugarthium Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hasn't Johnson "done it" for 2 years now? 352009[/snapback] I think 1.5 seasons. Last year he was a phenom with Kitna and at the end of 2002 season (last 4-5 games he was great again when kitna was hitting on all cylinders) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartans91 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 At this pace Thomas Jones could be an early 3rd round pick. That is scary. There will be no value left in RB position by the 4th round if guys like Duce and TJ are gone. Unless Tyrone Wheatley and Travis Minor play well but I would not want to hinge my season on either.

They have him rated at the top of the Tier 2 backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulOttCarruth Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Give me Ward or C. Johnson here. Then I'd go RB, RB in the next rounds. I can live with Tomlinson, Garner, Suggs. After Mastermind takes Faulk, there will be 7 teams with 2 RBs. The run on WRs is about to begin. Get one now while the gettin's good.

Rugarthium Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I agree 352058[/snapback] From FFMasterminds Forums posted by Michael Nazarek: -- Faulk Could Retire! -- Thu Jul 8, 2004 --from FFMastermind.com From FFMasterminds Forums posted by Michael Nazarek, FFMastermind.com Rams correspondent Bruce Campbell reports John Hadley of KTRS 550 AM announced today that he has "two sources" inside the Ram organization that "can't guarentee that RB Marshall Faulk will play in 2004". Hadley says Faulk's knee is a problem that isn't going away, and the Rams drafted RB Steve Jackson in the case Faulk retires. Hadley also said that his boss, KTRS sports director Jim Holder, "was on the phone all afternoon" and essentially confirmed that members of the Rams are saying that Faulk may, in fact, retire this summer during summer camp IF the knee continues to bother him. Wow! It appears the "little cleanup" Faulk went through on his knee this past off-season wasn't such a small problem, eh? Rumor or fact? Do you think Faulk will retire? Or is all this hogwash?

Azazello1313 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 with all the RBs going in rounds 1 and 2, the smart thing to do at the top of round 3 is go with a WR and NOT RB. a WR run is guaranteed to start here...probably 3 times as many WRs as RBs picked between 3.2 and 4.11.

PackerFanX Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I am watching this draft closely since I have the #2 pick in a 12 team League that is $350 per team. I would love to get LT and Manning with my first two picks. If Marshall Faulk is still around at 3.02 I think The Huddle should grab him.

Rovers Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Faulk IS awfully tempting.... but I would have to go Ward. Later on, take a couple of high up side RB's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 The value pick is a WR now. Third tier RB's later, hoping for the up side to pan out on one of them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
