darin3 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I like Stew this year and think he'll be a nice value in drafts. Sure, if you can land him in the last few rounds, maybe. Last time he played in more than 9 games? 2011. Last time he had more than 761 rushing yards? 2009. Last time he posted more than 3.6 ypc? Also 2011. The guy had 20 TDs in his first 2 years, with year 2 being a solid 1,000+ yard season with 10 TDs. Since then the guy has not been healthy EVER. I hate to be the anti-taz but if you're drafting this guy, you are a gambler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However at this time I'm surprised to see some like J. Bell, McFadden (talking about injuries), and Gore, or some of the unproven runners like Hyde and even Gurley valued more highly then someone who recently performed when given the opportunity. Was this a dynasty/keeper draft or just a redraft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I took Anderson at the 1.07. Can't say I was happy with the pick but all the RBs I wanted went before me of course and I was deciding between Forte, Anderson and McCoy. I had intended to later pick up Monte Ball but I let him go since it was just a mock draft for a magazine. I am only now starting the process of ranking and projecting so I'll be more resolute in a few weeks. Denver is likely to run a little more this year and Anderson at least enters as the starter. I would agree - in a draft I would almost never take a risk on my first pick. Since it was non-ppr, it made me like both Forte and even McCoy a little less. That may change. Since it was non-ppr, I wanted to go RB-RB unless I really liked a WR but Calvin Johnson went right before me so I opted for Foster who I thought was a decent value at 2.06 and after him came Ingram, Morris and Hyde which is a step down IMO. I wanted to take a WR with my #3 pick but I wanted Cobb or Hilton who were both taken before me. Another drop down in my opinion since next best Benjamin, Hopkins, Sanders, Matthews, etc was another step down. I wanted Gordon but he was taken right before me so I opted for Gurley and a RB-RB-RB which I normally don't like but that was just the way it seemed to fall to me. In the fourth the WR were still ho-hum but Brees was there and in a non-ppr, QBs are more valuable. My eventual team was: QB Drew Brees QB Joe Flacco RB CJ Anderson RB Arian Foster RB Todd Gurley RB David Johnson WR DeSean Jackson WR Jeremy Maclin WR Jarvis Landry WR Dorial Green-Beckham WR Marques Colston WR Devin Funchess TE Greg Olsen TE Jason Witten PK Steven Hauschka DEF Cardinals First draft of the year is always interesting when you look back in August. For drafting 7th, I like the team I think. I tried to blend my WRs with soldi vets and uspide youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Gronk not a 1st rounder and Bell falling to 1.06 seems off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The gamble/risk isn't as great if you get him at a value. I understand that; but what constitutes "a value" for him? 8th round? 10th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
