Roughrider401 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 When should he be drafted? In standard leagues I've seen him go from round one to round five. I've seen QB lead there fantasy teams to championships before. My question is is round one to early or is five too late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotpimp Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 round 1 is indeed too early. He won't make it to round 5 most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughrider401 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 So taking him round three should be just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotpimp Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 If he makes it there, yes probably... you have to know those owners, if there is a GB fan in the mix I doubt there is much you can do about him lasting very long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watt's Up Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I would do it round 3 and maybe late round 2 if I had the chance, depending on what else was available. I'm in no rush to draft a qb but he usually gives a decisive season advantage at qb, like he could give you several points a week more than the qb5. I mean, I'd take that before Gurley or Miller and probably Fournette, who are all going mid to late 2nd or early third and are likely to be just okay backs (Fournette is a beast, but bad situation will hold him back I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstan24 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Same predicament. If he gets through round two, take him. Brady as well. Only two Qb's id go 2nd round early 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughrider401 Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 The QB drop off is real too. You got A.Rodgers, T.Brady, Drew Brees, M.Ryan and after that flip a coin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughrider401 Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Exactly, which leads to the question how early do you draft a QB ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on league size, scoring system, lineup requirements and other owners tendencies.... in a Huddle draft right now so don't want to divulge too much, though as this is about the 8th or 10th year with many of the same drafters they know my tendencies already, but headed in the 8th round and I still don't have a QB and probably won't take one for another round or two at least - two other teams also without a QB - 4 went in the 7th/2nd pick of the 8th. So far it was Rodgers at end of 2nd, then Brady, Brees and Ryan in the 3rd, Wilson in the 5th, then Carr, Newton, Mariotta and ROth in the 7th/early 8th. That means unless a bunch of owners start using early picks on backup QBs, I can likely wait and will still get at least one (probably 2 as when I wait I take my backup earlier in general) of Winston, Luck, Rivers, Prescott, Cousins, Stafford, Manning, Dalton, Palmer, Taylor, Wentz - all of whom have a strong potential of top 10 finish with top 5 upside and likely wont finish significantly behind the QBs taken several rounds earlier. Essentially it is now down to a game of chicken between the 3 of us without a QB - if one of us feels one of these QBs is significantly better than the other, then would likely jump on one this round - if not, then will continue to wait it out until either the other owners start the backup QB run or the value is too great - but in the mean time we are loading up on depth at RB/WR/TE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other team has drafted their starter, one team already drafted a backup (was a bit surprised as that team was a bit shallow, not to mention bye week issue at WR and left some decent options on the board). I'm guessing the team that drafted Luck will take a backup sooner rather than later as insurance, but headed into 10th round and I think I am about ready to blink... I have 2 QBs left on my list that I am very comfortable with having as my starter and another couple that I'd be okay settling for if I see other good value on the board (couple players that intrigue me) and am willing to let them go - will find out here in about 8 picks what I do.

T-mobile might be a harder pill to swallow but I lost by .5 pts in the championship game with him so I got there with him, could've been a kick or DST going the other way.
