Jackass Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) If he was that good he would've been drafted higher. Plus their qb situation is iffy at best. Edited May 9, 2011 by Jackass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countless other examples. Yeah, you're joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're joking. nope, not joking. of course, there will be outliers. sure there's a chance he could do better than those picked ahead of him. but for a bunch of people on a message board to think they know more than the scouts who spend countless hours doing this for their profession is asanine.

That's what fantasy dynasty drafting is all about for me. Thinking you've found a gem that everyone else rated too low or for whatever reason the player dropped further than they should have. Besides different scouts have different opinions. The draft doesn't follow Mike Mayock's board. Each team has their own board and they vary greatly.

Exact same situation, took Nicks higher than he was traditionally going despite what was perceived to be a slam dunk for Crabtree. He was lambasted for it. Now, Crabtree isn't even in the same timezone as Nicks and it is seen as an amazing pick. Could he have traded down and still got Nicks? Perhaps. But maybe he didn't want to gamble. Point is, if you want your guy, go get him. And after the kid plays, then the pick can be judged. Edited May 9, 2011 by Tford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 My source has Little's ADP at #3 in most PPR leagues. Of course, it also has Newton ahead of Daniel Thomas, Julio Jones & Ryan Williams which I don't agree with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

half_hennessy Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Well I had him just behoned Baldwin for my rookie drafts which had him ranked 4th at WR. I am in the process of doing a rookie draft where I blew my team up last season and am starting over so I had quite a few picks somehow in a 12 team league i managed to get AJ at 1.01 Baldwin at 1.05 and Little at 2.03 I actually had a couple of picks in between that which filled other needs but I was shocked to see Little still available so even after already drafting 2 WRs I couldn't pass the value there for a 2nd round pick.

Little at 2.03 is a steal IMO. I overpaid for him at 1.04 but I WANTED him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, most avid Huddlers who play in leagues here aren't very apt to board the hype train so easily. If you make a good argument, then I may move him up my board some, but stating that you think he's a beast isn't really going to make me bite. The fact of the matter is, despite him passing the eye test, he is extremely green. One year at WR & then an entire season off? He may have great potential, but there's still at least 4 WR's I would probably take before him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonD Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'm actually enjoying the Little hype train, great opportunity to trade down and get more value in a fairly deep draft through the first 3 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
