tbimm Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Just wondering what others think as far as drafting in a 16 teamer? The talent pool falls off so fast and even with a deep RB pool this year you start getting to question marks really fast. So the question is do you still try to go RB RB or do you feel better trying to get a stud at as many positions as possible? Ive already made my decision just wondering what others think!

Savage Beatings Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Get the #1 K and the #1 D as soon as possible (starting at about round 3). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thews40 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Get the #1 K and the #1 D as soon as possible (starting at about round 3). 925781[/snapback] Good avice here. Since I'm drafting in the same league I can't give up my plan, but what I am curious about is when the first defense will go and when the RB3's start to get picked. You have to think you'd need at least WR 1 and 2 before picking RB3, but we'll see. At least you're on your third pick, as our division is moving at a snail's pace.

Dirty Weasel Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Pretty darn hard to build depth in a 16-team league. Draft all your starters first. Let the other owners try to build for depth and end up with the Titans defense, Freddie Jones, and Morten Anderson as their starters.

The Holy Roller Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Our local just expanded to 16 teams (but we auction, hooboy!). I'm interested in anyone else's ideas, too, for such a large league. As for me, I'm buying three studs, if it's possible, and drink my weight in adult beverages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not at all surprised at the early 3rd round start to the te which is why when Twiley took Gonzo I had to go with Gates! Now if he can just do what he did last year I should be ok with my crappy 2nd rb. Good luck to you the rest of the way and I will be moving up to play with you guys next season. That is if you stay top 4 in your division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
