webbnathan Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I play in a 12 team, 3 player keeper league. We have an option of keeping a 4th player if they were a rookie last year....but you lose the draft round you picked them in. I am keeping Ray Rice as I picked him in the last round last year (no harm there). I have the 5th pick in our draft this year. My keepers are: P. Manning L. Fitzgerald R. Grant R. Rice (rookier keeper) Here are 4 players, where at least one will make it to me at the # 5 spot: B. Westbrook P. Thomas C. Portis C. Johnson There usually is a big run on RB's in the first round as it is slim pickn's after that. I'm really tempted to take C. Johnson if he makes it to me but that would leave a lot of work needed to select a decent RB coming back in the 2nd round. If I take Johnson I would probably have players like Benson, Parker, F. Jones, J. Jones as choices. But a Fitzgerald/Johnson duo is really tempting......... Who would you go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindthegap Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'd personally take Westbrook. I think he's in for a solid year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbnathan Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Sorry, to clarify, C. Johnson is Calvin WR in this case.........not the Chris RB one. That might help with the crazy part of my title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs126 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Gotta take one of the Rbs, I espically like Westy, proven back! But also Portis is suppose to have a big year with betts giving him rest http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=292696 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favre4ever Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Do not draft Portis! Let someone else hate him this year...If it where me I take Westbrook and then Thomas...I love Calvin but the dude cant throw himself the ball...

webbnathan Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 What's the word of P. Thomas? Does he catch passes out of the backfield??? If it was between Thomas and B. Jacobs.......who should get the nodd??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Whats the drop off of WR if you don't take Calvin compared to the drop off of RB's if you don't select any of those listed? Personally, I'd take Robotron. Forget the "Who will throw him the ball" comments. Who threw him the ball last year? ...hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebartender Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Do not draft Portis! Let someone else hate him this year...If it where me I take Westbrook and then Thomas...I love Calvin but the dude cant throw himself the ball... Calvin Johnson had 78 catches for 1331 yards and 12 TDs last year. Who was throwing it to him then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikinglion Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Calvin Johnson had 78 catches for 1331 yards and 12 TDs last year. Who was throwing it to him then? Yep. I also like Calvin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbnathan Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yep, draft is today and I'm gonna take him if he gets to me at 5. Then, I'll just have to wait to see who might drop to me in the 2nd and take the best RB. If a back like J. Jones or L. Washington type could get to me then, he might make a good flex start. Maybe even a C. Benson. Afraid all the others will be gone but we'll see. Thanks guys and will see how it goes................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
