insideout33 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) i have the #3 pick and fully expect SA and LT to be gone. obviously this has been a often discussed topic, but being that most everyone else has drafted, i thought i could benefit from YOUR '2nd guessing' holmes or manning or EJ or willis, etc? right now i'm leaning towards manning with the expectation of getting a jordan or westbrook maybe green/JJones/rudi as a #1rb and a caddie/cedric/brown(s)... i like fragile here maybe WR here? walker or horn if you took manning or if you didn't how did it work out for you? would you have done anything different? how'd the next few picks work out? thx 12 team 20yd pass/1pt 10 yd rush&rec/1pt 6pt/pass & run TD bonus points for longer TDs bonus for #of rec Edited September 10, 2005 by insideout33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigalf03 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 If a 10 team league defenetly, if 12 man its a gamble but i would probably still go manning. In most of the drafts i have seen you can still end up with a decent backfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insideout33 Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 yes its a 12 team. to me manning is the next sure thing after LT and SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da bears 23 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I took Manning with 3 pick and K.jones with my 2 rd pick. J.Walker in rd 3. It was A 10 team lg. Manning is a much safer pick than Holmes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirNair Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 The guy who took manning in our 10 team league has the best team He had the one pick and got manning he took Holt and Harrison with his next two picks because RBs went flying off the board after he took Manning - he luckily got Westbrook and Martin in the 4th 5th because nobody took a 3rd Rb !!

Randall Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 In HOT John took him and has been applauded for the job he did. I'm not so sure about this team myself. We'll see how it works out. Carr, David HOU QB - 3 11.05 Manning, Peyton IND QB - 8 1.05 Barber, Tiki NYG RB - 5 2.08 Cloud, Mike FA RB - - 18.08 Gore, Frank SFO RB - 6 17.05 Staley, Duce PIT RB (D) - 4 6.08 Taylor, Chester BAL RB - 3 14.08 Westbrook, Brian PHI RB - 6 3.05 Johnson, Keyshawn DAL WR - 9 9.05 Kennison, Eddie KCC WR - 5 7.05 Moss, Santana WAS WR - 3 12.08 Toomer, Amani NYG WR - 5 15.05 Ward, Hines PIT WR - 4 4.08 Wiggins, Jermaine MIN TE - 5 10.08 Witten, Jason DAL TE - 9 5.05 Longwell, Ryan GBP PK - 6 13.05 Patriots, New England NEP Def 2.00 7 8.08 Seahawks, Seattle SEA Def - 8 16.08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insideout33 Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 tradition. we like to draft as close to opening weekend as possible (injuries), and planning for labor day weekend was always tough. anyway, gotta fit the round of golf in before the draft! 1 game played... hooray to the owner who gets the known points, but there are still 7 other positions to fill. the points were going to be scored regardless. everyone likes it. 6 yr old money league.

insideout33 Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 definetely depends on the RB shake out. is the drop from manning to the other QBs (less pepp) worth the tier drop in RBs as your #1? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickvick Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 If LT and SA go 1 and 2 then Manning is definitely the way to go.I took LT at 1 then came back and got Westbrook and Holt.You should still get decent RB and WR on the way back.

Ralph Furley Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 A tough call. Expect your RB2 to pretty much be a headache I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insideout33 Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 yeah, i know i'm trading off guaranteed manning pts for my #2RB headache i'm just not comfortable in taking the remaining RBs at #3. i see them as crap shoots, albeit big payoff, but feel i can possible play the same crap shoot with the 2rd RB pick and still get the manning monster points. think it works for my scoring hopefully, i get some owners who bail out on the RB run, pick pepp or a couple of WRs and a JJones or rudi falls to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Like Soup Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I would pick Manning. Especially with your scoring system giving QBs 6 points/touchdown. Coming back around, you may want to look for a good #1 RB and #1WR. I've found over the years players that are pretty good inexplicably keep getting passed over and go later than expected.
