Deacon Frost Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) I think maybe so. I can't imagine it will happen again in my upcoming league (Brees there at 21) but who knows? 10 team league; perf + PPR + all TDs are 6pts (incl passing TDs so QB heavy), start 1qb,2rb,2wr,1te,1flex,1k, 1d I had pick #1 and thus #20 and #21. I expected the top 3 QBs to be gone and most of the top tier WRs but was expecting to get Wayne/Jennings/S.Smith at WR back to back. RBs went like crazy even with the PPR status but Brady and Rodgers went before Brees. I was literally stunned when Brees was still there at 20. Wayne went at 19. I knew there would be a major WR run until it got back to me again at #40. Turns out only Ochocinco,Driver, Housh, &TO were sort of top line receivers still there at 40 and I didn't want either for my #2 WR so I was right on that account. I was predicting a good 2nd tier back to be there at #40 and got Kevin Smith...wanted Ryan Grant and missed him by 1 slot but was OK with it. I ended up getting Romo in the 7th round and gambled a little on TO in the 5th as a 3rd WR. So, by selecting Jennings/S.Smith and passing on Brees but then getting Romo in the 7th as opposed to getting Brees at QB and going with one of the WRs I noted about in the last 4th/early 5th, did I do better or worse? QB-Romo-7, Palmer-12 RB-MJD-1,KevinSmith-4,LJ-6,DWard-8,ABradshsaw-14,BScott-15,KJones-16 WR-Jennings-2,SSmith-3,TO-5,Braylon-9,Breaston-11 TE-Carlson-10 K-Longwell-17 D-Eagles-13 Edited August 29, 2009 by Deacon Frost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have done alot worse with Romo and Palmer.I like Jennings/Smith combo and i really like Carlson in the 10th. TO as your 3wr isn't bad especially with Breaston in the 11th.

LayLow Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think this year that because of the ridiculous depth at RB...rounds 2-3 are littered with 5-6 QB's. If you don't take one early, you will be stuck with McNabb (me in 2 leagues ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
femmefootball Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I think you did alright. I wouldn't be terribly worried about it. I think Romo will be good enough for you and you've got good WR to show for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company of Heroes Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Personally I would have grabbed Brees and Jennings. Then go for value at RB/WR from there. But you're in OK shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokers Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 As much as I like Brees, I think you did alright as well by getting Romo. You should be fine with what you did. Good luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbluefan Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Wow....Brees didnt make it past 1st round in ANY of my 4 drafts !!! NICE !!! I would've jumped all over him at 21 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigb2345 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The points you gain with Brees are more than enough to make up for a lesser 2 WR. I'm assuming Housh VJax and Eddie Royal were there. Any one of those would be a fine fit with Jenn or Smith & Brees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
