rbmcdonald Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 32 Team IDP Keeper League, Initial Draft. Start 1 RB, I have LT. Plus I have a Rookie prospect. I need a back-up, if LT gets hurts, and there is nothing left. We are past pick #700. Turner would have been nice to have, but he went at 8.20 (#244). I would have had to take him with my 8.14 (238). (FYI, I got Erik Coleman at 8.14). So anyone have an obscure RB, that might work his way up to #2 on a depth chart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinL Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Darren Sproles? Lorenzo Neal? Seriously, Sproles wouldn't be an awful pick for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliaz Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Darren Sproles?Lorenzo Neal? Seriously, Sproles wouldn't be an awful pick for you. 1494778[/snapback] agreed. And in fact he is being brought in as the 4th and sometimes 3rd WR. This kid is going to have a good year (realitive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Plutos Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Taurean Henderson....UDFA out of Texas Tech. He is in the Vikings' backfield and put up good receiving numbers there, so might be a good fit for the WCO. No guarantee he makes the roster, but I think he could surprise.

Crazysight Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Hicks is a playmaker but I see him as being a lifelong scat-back, ala Kevin Faulk or Tony Fisher. Edited June 2, 2006 by Crazysight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Leonard Weaver, Seattle. MoMo might finally get his chance if SA blows something fishy, but Weaver's more of a heavy load kind of guy. Purely stepping out on a limb here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Weasel Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 It's pretty impossible to figure out who may be left after 700 picks. Care to list all the RB's that have been taken so far? There may be a RB in the CFL or NFLE worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo mama Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Hicks is a playmaker but I see him as being a lifelong scat-back, ala Kevin Faulk or Tony Fisher. 1495550[/snapback] Hey, if we're scraping the bottom of the talent barrel (and granted, that's not something I know a whole lot about) I think you're looking for one of two things: (1) opportunity to contribute; or (2) ability to contribute. (Chances are, any candidate who has both those qualities is already gone, and if they aren't, should be acquired first). Hicks has the ability. All it would take is for Gore or Barlow to get hurt or fall out of favor and Hicks' value would register on most folks radar screens. Allow me to elaborate: - 5.2 YPC last season (tied for 12th highest in the NFL last year); - if you excluded those RBs who took 50 or less carries last year, Hicks would have been tied (with Larry Johnson and Tiki Barber) for 4th highest YPC last year; - 4.3 lifetime YPC, which ain't to shabby, considering he's been running behind SF's flacid O-line for every carry of his pro career; - scored three TDs in 59 carries last year, or about 1 for every 20 carries. That's pretty freakin' impressive, considering the team he's on; - fumbled the ball zero times last year; - performs kick return duties, for those in leagues that award individual points for that stuff; - somewhat active as a reciever, for those in PPR leagues, collecting 12 receptions last year, relative to his 59 rushing carries; and - neither Barlow nor Gore were able to stay 100% healthy last year, and both had to have some minor-to-moderate surgery a few months back. But like I said, highly speculative upside players aren't really something I know a whole lot about. Edited June 2, 2006 by yo mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
