Sturphy Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 5 teams drafted so far. Only 1 more to go, mercifully. I've got Roethlisberger on 1 team Ronnie Brown on 2 Adrian Peterson on 2 Santonio Holmes on 2 Andre Johnson on 2 And my personal favorite sleeper, Bo Scaife on 4 teams. Took him in the last or next to last round in each. Get him and go home happy this year I reckon. Glad you posted your blog entry after most of my drafts DMD!

Sturphy Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) I was talking about Adrian Peterson on Chicago though... You lie! No wait...yeah...ok uh..."Yeah people, Adrian Peterson of the Chicago Bears is the sleeper he was speaking of. Go forth and draft him early."

cdrudge Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I was talking about Adrian Peterson on Chicago though... My local drafts tomorrow night. If someone drafts Peterson without specifying which, I'm presuming they mean Chicago and will then draft Peterson of the Vikings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butkus Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Seems like a lot of my league mates must be huddlers, cuz most of these guys were not slept on at all during my draft. R. Brown went 1.9 A. Peterson went 3.3 B. Jacobs went 3.5 A. Johnson went 4.7 S. Holmes 8.2 etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Dorey's never right...do you ever look at that dude's game predictions during the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopazz Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Me too. Drafted Kitna in the 5th round and heard a few snickers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Magnolia Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 So add your sleepers by position with the definition -will significantly outperform their ADP Here's mine: QB-Alex Smith WR-Bernard Berrian RB-Jerious Norwood TE-David Martin (Scaife too obvious but really the choice) D-Vikings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Here's Mine: QB-Matt Schaub WR-Brandon Jones RB-Michael Pittman TE-Marcus Pollard D-49ers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedRacer Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) I can think of maybe 3 guys on his list that you could realistically call a true "sleeper". So, if he thinks that Ronnie Brown is going to be a sleeper, and he has him ranked as the #9 RB, I'm assuming that he thinks he's going to finish the year as a Top-5 RB. Otherwise, why put him on the list? Peterson's not a sleeper - everybody and their brother knows about this guy, and he's routinely targeted as a #3 RB on every list I've seen. His ADP certainly is no value right now. Andre Johnson and Calvin Johnson??? Yeah...those guys are going to fall right under the radar in most drafts! He should have just called the article "Some random guys I like". Edited August 29, 2007 by SpeedRacer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Those are players that I drafted/bought this year in many teams that have pretty much all raised in value now from where I got them in the last two months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
