Hat Trick Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Boy, I like Crotchery, but I'm not sure if I like him in Rd 7. I just didn't see enough value anywhere else, he had similar value as other WRs still on the board, and his bye worked out nicely. With the way your team looked before you drafted him I wouldn't have drafted him, but that's me. I could see a greater need at TE or QB, being that theres still a couple top flight TE's avail and the QB's are starting to bunch together, that's the direction I would have went.

irish Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Well, he ought to hit 85 catches, 1000 yds, & 6-8 TDs. That's a solid #3 WR. It's hard to grouse too much about taking him there. It's not so much that taking him here was a terrible move. It's just that IMO, looking at your team, there were better options out there for this pick and they might not be there for the next one. Whereas a guy like Cotchery, maybe even Cotchery himself, would have be there for your next selection. Edited June 5, 2007 by irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't see the value being there at TE or QB. I can get guys at those positions 3 rounds later that will have roughly equivalent performance to guys I would have drafted now. Cotchery is as good as any WR to use a spaghetti-against-the-wall theory for drafting a #3 WRBC, I guess. There are a few other guys still on the board now who'll put up similar numbers to his projected numbers, but there are also some guys who have been picked earlier who he'll also match.

I agree 100% with this thinking and that's basically what I said without being too specific. I've made up my mind HT, you and I need to be in some sort of league as it would make things very interesting because we think so alike it's scary.

That's the thing, it's individual preference and I think there was no doubt better value at other positions, and even at WR, to be had with that pick. But hey, that's what mocking is all about.

Bronco Billy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I learned alot about you and your style in this mock. Some of those guys are just in a free fall - and I'm not sure why. This is a league where you can start 3 RBs, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goopster24 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Really didn't want to pick another same-team player but Calvin was IMO the best WR on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was looking at Calvin Johnson along with KJ and VD (Vernon Davis) with my last picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Davis got hurt last year or this might not even be up for discussion. I'd say Davis has more upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbmcdonald Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I agree about Shockey being a little more proven I just have a problem with him getting "dinged up" occassionally. That, and the potential for the wheels to come off the cart for the New York offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I can't blame you because of how this has gone, are you going to pre-select? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
