Hey all, Well we had an interesting draft last night. This bonehead at the 12th spot took Brees and Graham for his first two picks. Bold move in itself, but it doesn't end there! He proceeds to take Peyton Manning and Tom Brady with his next two picks, which completely changed the draft. I had Luck or Romo pegged as my QB in round 7 or 8 depending on who still needed QB's and if there was anyone better available in round 7, but both Romo and Luck went in the 6th round. At this point everyone had at least 1 QB, so I waited to pull the trigger. It's a PPR league with the following positions; QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, FLEX(RB/WR/TE), K, DEF QB - 11.126 - Sam Bradford RB - 1.6 - Ray Rice RB or Bench - 2.19 - Chris Johnson RB or Flex 3.3 - Darren Sproles WR - 4.43 - Wes Welker WR - 5.54 - Mike Wallace WR - 7.78 - Lance Moore TE - 6.67 - Vernon Davis K - 15.174 - Matt Pratter DEF - 14.163 - Giants Flex, RB or Bench - 8.91 - Daryl Richardson Flex, WR or Bench - 9.102 - Kenbrelle Thompkins Flex, TE or Bench - 10.115 - Jordan Cameron Option at QB - 12.139 - Joe Flacco BN - 13.150 - Cordarelle Patterson Option at QB - 16.187 - Alex Smith The stars are lined up for Bradford to have a breakout year. Second year offense for the first time in his career and a boatload of new weapons. However, I needed backup in case he flunks. I took Flacco since I have Rice. I think it's going to go one of two ways in Baltimore. A. Flacco earns his paycheck (plus the Ravens D took a hit so they may be playing from behind this year). Result = Rice has his average year and Flacco puts up good numbers or B. He turns back to captain check-down. Result = Increased numbers for Rice and I don't play Flacco Smith has upside but he's only considered if Bradford and Flacco both bust. I like my options at RB and Flex. If Johnson has another letdown year, I can plug Sproles in that spot and move Richardson, Thompkins, or Cameron into the flex spot. WR's hurt.. Who knows how Welker's Chemistry will be with Manning and he's going to have to fight for receptions. Wallace has a lot of upside and Moore will put up good numbers. But it is admittedly weaker than I'd like. Love my TE's As far as DEF goes... does anyone else think the Detroit Defense is worth taking? I did some research into their losses and gains in the off-season and they seem to have improved on defense. However, everyone if ranking them low this year. Detroit or NYG?
