#9 pick in draft - suggestions?

[macandslater]

12 team draft, I'm at #9 - I could use some suggestions here.

 

Standard scoring - 2 RB, 2 WR/TE, one flex, 1 QB, DEF

 

I'm thinking I'm gonna take Frank Gore and then wind up with Calvin Johnson on the way back but could use some suggestions. I'm not a huge fan of either but I feel like I gotta do it - love to hear what you guys think

 

Good luck!

9th seems a long way down to be targeting a specific player or two, unless your league is somewhat predictable. I'd just take a wait and see approach, sometimes you never know what will fall. With a standard scoring system however I think the most common routes with the 9th pick are RB-WR, WR-WR, WR-RB.

be careful with assuming that megatron or any top 4 wr is gonna be there at 15. 12 or even 11 could go wr/wr

I would give dibs to a top 5 running back. In whichever order you choose: AP, Turner, MJD, Deangelo, Forte. If one of them are available, grab him.

 

2nd dibs goes to a top 3 receiver: Moss, Fitz, Andre Johnson.

 

Chances are, one of those 8 players will be available. Someone will grab Tomlinson before you pick probably, so that'll open up a window of opportunity for ya.

 

There's a 2nd tier of running backs like SJax, Gore, Slaton, etc, and one of them should be available for your 2nd round pick. I'd rather have a top 3 WR & Gore (in that order) than SJax & a 2nd tier receiver.
