Eli Mancrush Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Wassup all I'm looking for some advice. I have the #1 overall pick and then picks #24 & #25 in a 12 team keeper league where 24 players are kept off the board. It is a PPR league. Here's the list of kept players and their round values this year: Enchiladas - Andre Johnsonn (1), Steve Slaton (8) Dynasty - Calvin Johnson (3), LenDale White (9) Johnny Cifs - D'Angelo Williams (4), Wes Welker (8) Howe - Matt Forte (5), Dwayne Bowe (11) Wishbone - Greg Jennings (4), DeSean Jackson (8) Dexter - MIchael Turner (7), Aaron Rodgers (15) BEB - Maurice Jones-Drew (14), Philip Rivers (15) Camination - Tom Brady (3), Chris Johnson (4) Idiots - Frank Gore (4), Donovan McNabb (10) Basterds - Adrian Peterson (2), Devin Hester (8) Gents - Marques Colston (14), Pierre Thomas (16) WGTT - Roddy White (15), Ryan Grant (16*) I am the WGTT so I have Roddy White & Ryan Grant in the late rounds. Now, what this means is the best remaining players I'm considering #1 overall are basically: Steven Jackson, LaDainian Tomlinson, or Larry Fitzgerald. The debate is really to pick either RB #1 or WR #1. I feel that LT will be a safe pick at #1. However I also think that the WR position is more shallow, and the RB position is more deep. So I can probably take Fitzgerald #1 and then still get a guy like Brandon Jacobs or Darren McFadden later on at #24. Of course anything can happen during the draft. But is it crazy to consider Fitzgerald over LT at #1 overall? On one hand I think the team might turn out good going WR #1 - but on the other hand it sometimes seems crazy to pass on LT ... Thoughts?

Big Country Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 What WRs would you expect to be choosing from in the 2nd/3rd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Mancrush Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Well BigCountry, looking at the board, if we went RB #1, we'd probably be looking at someone like Housh, Roy Williams, Ochocinco, or Coles being available at 24-45 - the top WR will be gone between keepers & the next 20 picks - unless there's some kind of absurd run on RB & QB With the follow up pick we could take 2 WR at that point or maybe a stud QB - it all depends on how the draft goes But for sure there will not be a top 5 WR left - more of a "tier 2" guy at 24 BTW these are the positions we have to start: QB RB RB WR WR WR WR/RB/TE TE K DEF Edited August 23, 2009 by Eli Mancrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Mancrush Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 So is drafting Fitzgerald #1 over a guy like LT absurd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
