BeeR Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Say you drafted (note this doesn't even include people knocked out for long periods due to injury, which is considerable) QB - Ryan (or Carr if you prefer) RB - D Murray, Ajayi, Kelley WR - Cooper, Hilton, Pryor TE - Graham You're thinking holy hell I fleeced these people..easy title...

Wiseman155 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah a lot of bad breaks but that is also a very high risk draft. All of these are risks a experienced manager would try to avoid. Ryan and Carr were both very overrated basing there performance on one year. Drafting Hilton when you know that Luck is going out for 1st 6 weeks. You know Murray will be splitting work with an up and coming Henry Ajayi has very little historical data coming into this year. And Cutler as your starting AN Pryor, Cooper, and Graham are the FF gods taking a dump on this team. Not saying you can't take risks, (I took Ajayi in 1 league) but you need to mediate risk. This much risk would of shown it's ugly head eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 That draft doesn't seem realistic since a lot of those players would go back to back, but I see the point. It's more realistic to have QB: Smith or Wentz RB: Hunt, Fournette, Ingram, Kamara, WR: Brown, Hopkins, Crabtree, Hogan TE: Brate Then say "I'm fugged" after the draft.

Ryan, Murray, Hilton, and Pryor are 3 guys I had as being overvalued at their ADPs. Of course I didn't think Ryan would be struggling at the level he is.

stethant Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The only players on that team I had/have any shares of were Murray and Graham. Traded Murray for Cooks earlier in the year and never looked back. Not the type of roster construction I would have gone for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilty of drinking the "If he puts up those numbers with the Browns QB carrousel imagine what he could do with someone like Cousins" koolaid. Now I am hopping he explodes vs Philly so I can get some of his ADP value back (24th overall) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This much risk would of shown it's ugly head eventually. And you were saying all this stuff in August right? Riiiiiiiiight.... Nobody knew Luck was out for 6 weeks then, nor did they "know" how much work Henry would get...in fact before last year, people thought Henry would take over, but Murray proved to be the man, and was highly touted this year draft-wise. Ajayi was also pretty highly rated. There may be better examples, I just find it funny (sometimes in an exasperating way when I'm victim) how different August expectations and predictions turn out to be. Cmon, Alex Smith tearing it up? I'm still convinced that won't last much longer. It's Alex freaking Smith. I'll never forget one year I played with a new league and had such a strong draft I was disappointed because I clearly was playing with guys who were clueless, and it did in fact look that way after the draft. It wasn't for much money, so there wasn't that, I just liked the competition...but I felt like I was playing with a bunch of old grandmas. Too easy is no fun. I think I went 7-7. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 12 hours ago, Def. said: That team has quite a few players I was avoiding draft day. This, and I honestly don't think that team is very good. No "win your league" players on that roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdub1988 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I had Cooper last year on a few teams and he was 100% on my "do not draft" list. I saw this year coming, he had been slumping long into last year. I don't know what happened to him considering his insane talent but I had enough of the frustration after one year on my teams.

banerak Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I was happy to get Even Engram with the 2nd to last pick(206) in 16 team draft. Best Value pick as it turns out from my draft right there for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I don't look at that team and think championship team. The only guy on that team I drafted was Cooper. I avoided the rest of those guys like the plague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inziladun Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Imagine this team: QB: Aaron Rodgers WR: Odell Beckham, Allen Robinson, Martavis Bryant, Brandon Marshall RB: Demarco Murray, Dalvin Cook, Blount, Abdullah TE: Greg Olsen K: Santos Defense: New England 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vato22 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) This is what I drafted imagine this standard scoring btw We had this draft before the news hunt would take over for ware... A lot of rbs were taken 1st round.. I went with brown for my number 1 pick.. I picked 4th I believe and aj green with my round 2 .. And I actually scored hunt in round ten.. Imagine that Edited October 25, 2017 by Vato22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
