Duchess Jack Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I am liking the seventh pick with the following options of falling to me Rice, Peterson, Foster, McCoy, Charles, Mendenhall, CJ and a wrap around of Fitz, Austin and Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 have you done any Mocks? Mendy might be the only one there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think that's his point - he's guaranteed one of them + his wraparound. Depending on scoring and contracts I could see it being anyone but Foster or Rice given the right circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 someone else here said it first but if Peterson falls past 2, he's fallen too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonD Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I either want 1, 4 or 11/12 Honestly love the value at 11/12 this year...being able to get a combo of MJD/Fitz especially in PPR feels very strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip's Invitation Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 4, 3, 2, 1, 12, 11, 10, 9, 5, 6, 8, 7 This changes if CJ ends his holdout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpuma Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) I got the first pick in our 12 team draft to choose my slot. I chose the 10 spot. I have been liking to draft at the end of the first round. Edited August 26, 2011 by fpuma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonsoxandy Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I would love the #4 pick...chance are Foster, AP, and either Charles or Rice go ahead of you and you grab either Charles or Rice (the remaining one)....5 is a bad slot since Foster, AP, Charles, Rice are prolly gone and you have to consider Mr. Holdout. Anything later and you miss out on getting a true stud RB with virtually no questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I always like picking in the middle, where you only have to wait about a round for each pick... I always find I can scoop value up this way (this year I'll take any of the top 6 backs, and take a great WR or RB in round 2), rahter than feeling like you have to reach on some picks, with a long time in between them... But in PPR, I've been doing really well this year picking at the end of round 1. I just got Calvin and Forte in one draft from this position and couldn't be happier... But really, I'll pick just about anywhere this year in particular, as the tradeoff in first round position seems to be balanced with great second round options if you don't get a high pick.

Brentastic Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've always been a fan of middle to late pick in the first. My ideal position is 7 or 8 in a 12 team. But I'm happy with anything in the 6-12 spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delicious_bass Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've always been a fan of middle to late pick in the first. My ideal position is 7 or 8 in a 12 team. But I'm happy with anything in the 6-12 spot. Generally considered the "stinkhole". Interesting I think a savvy owner can build a good team from any spot, so I dont think there is necessarily one that I covet significantly more than others. That said, if I am not in the top 4-5, I would just as soon be 11 or 12. Tues night I picked 12th (of 12) and got Calvin Johnson at 1.12 and Mendenhall at 2.1. I can live with that.

Was just discussing this with a co-worker who is also into fantasy. He has a draft tonight and we were discussing his ideal draft spot. At the end of the conversation I came to the conclusion that there isn't really a bad spot, imo. Unless there's a top guy I really want, I guess I try to avoid the edges but at the end of the day, I will make it work no matter where I draft from. And that's the same every year.

Seahawks21 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 About 7/8 sounds right. I want one of those top 8 players, but wouldn't be opposed to taking Rodgers/AJ in that slot if I had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 For me, any pick after top 3, I'm going WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramhock Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 If I had the choice, I sit one & take Foster. After that, to the back of the line & grab the WRs. I had the 2nd choice in an 18 teamer, #1 was gone & didn't want to take a chance that Foster went first, he did. I took the 12th seat. Didn't go WR because it is QB heavy.

MothAudio Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Drafted 11th last night in a 12 man re-draft and wound up with L.McCoy / C.Johnson / R.Wayne. Was hoping for L.Blount in the 3rd but someone snapped him up. Did get B.Tate in round 14. Edited August 28, 2011 by MothAudio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnoldg3 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I like the three spot. You get a stud running back, and come back around quickly for pick 3. You also have the opportunity to box out players one and two with only four picks in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say the 2nd pick is better now and take Rice there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebartender Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 someone else here said it first but if Peterson falls past 2, he's fallen too far. I got him at 4 and McFadden on the way back last night. I was pretty pumped about that. My starting WRs are Brandon Lloyd and Mike Williams (TB) though.

Bubbahawk Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 i have never lost a redraft drafting in the 8th spot. unfortunatly i can't seem to land that spot very often. I like the 12 spot also but havent had nearly the same luck as the 8th. I have never won drafting in the top 3 ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had the 12th pick and selected the same exact two players as you (Megatron and Mendy). I grabbed Romo in the third and luckily was able to pick up Ingram, S.Greene, S.Holmes, Bush, and Stevie Johnson in subsequent rounds. I was very nervous about picking 12th this year in my PPR league, but it worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdub1988 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I've always hated 5-9, I'm usually pretty bummed if I land there. You miss out on the elite RBs, and I keep finding myself just one or two picks late for all my favorite players in each round in mocks. 2 is my favorite spot this year, because I am completely in love with Ray Rice's prospects. Wouldn't ya know, I was stuck with 5th and 6th in my two leauges... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
