MrGameTime Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I Learn that LT will go #1st Alexander #2nd Manning will go #3rd! Now I really don't want to be here @ 4th because I'm not high on P. Holmes! What would be my best chances for a solid RB team wise and scheme wise! providing I can't trade down a few spots! I just feel like there is not that much differance in RB after LT & Alexander! Correct me if I'm worng please!! thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 If you cant trade down, I'm going Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Yeah I'd say take Edge. Or Deuce or Willis if you like them better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) If you cant trade down, I'm going Edge. 901628[/snapback] You will then have what I consider to be the third pick. See Roos thread for my opinion. Basically, I agree with Big Country except I say trade down and if not take Lewis.

yo mama Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'd try and swap 1st and 2nd round picks with someone below you, as there is little concensus on where the best value is at picks 1.4 through 1.8. However, the improved value of your 2nd round pick would be significant. Barring that, if you've got a high tolerance for risk, McGahee is one way to go. Personally, I'd probably go for someone a little more proven, like Edge or Jamal Lewis. But not knowing if this is a keeper league or if you get points for receptions, it's hard to say.

wildbluefan Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Take a chance on DEUCE, by all accounts, NO offense changing to get him more touches, now that he is healthy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfin2000 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Take a chance on DEUCE, by all accounts, NO offense changing to get him more touches, now that he is healthy ! 901783[/snapback] I would take Duece at that spot too. I've had Edge on my team the past two seasons, and while he'll give you double digit points week in and week out, you'll be lucky if you get one or two monster games out of him the whole season. That kind of consistency is great for a second round pick, but for a first round pick, especially the fouth overall, you want a guy that has the potential to give you at least half a dozen monster games. Duece can do that because he can take it to the house from anywhere on the field and he's the goalline option of choice. A 20 yard run is big deal for Edge and he's one of a plethora of goalline options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Miscreant Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 If you cant trade down, I'm going Edge. 901628[/snapback] Yeah I'd say take Edge. Or Deuce or Willis if you like them better. 901631[/snapback] Basically, I agree with Big Country except I say trade down and if not take Lewis. 901633[/snapback] Take a chance on DEUCE, by all accounts, NO offense changing to get him more touches, now that he is healthy ! 901783[/snapback] This is what I love about this year's draft, or hate, I haven't decided yet. Anyway, I'm a big Deuce fan this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haskel Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I like Edge at 3, but I'm liking Deuce more and more. Everything I'm reading...simplified offensive scheme...utilizing a fullback....huge long-term contract....leaner, stronger, finally healthy...Deuce is primed for a great year. huh, maybe I do like Deuce more?

Nice or horrible depending on how you look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I like Deuce alot this year...I've liked him all along even though he let me down this year.... It's awfully strange... take him and don't look back...Edge fights Manning for GL TD's...that's his GL vulture.....Manning...and then you have McGahee with the rook at QB with the questionable OL as it was...he still did well...but Bledsoe could at least POSE as a threat sometimes...

mamaboy Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I do not like Duece go Edge he is getting better every year now, or Priest I know he was hurt but darn he can put up huge games, risk/reward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjpro11 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 i honestly dont think theres gonna be much of any difference between deuce and edge.. either one will be worth a high first rounder. the thing on edge is colts like play action in the redzone.. thus, less tds.. go with your gut on this one.. there isnt really any solid evidence on whos going to be better.. everything said is opinions and guesses.

Hardrocker Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I just feel like there is not that much differance in RB after LT & Alexander! Correct me if I'm worng please!! thanks! 901583[/snapback] You are not wrong... IF you cannot trade down, you must take person YOU feel best about. That is what virtually everyone at this position will have to do this year. I have #4 too. If I cannot trade down, I will take Lewis or D Davis ps I think with the addition of Davis that is about five choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 How in god's name can anyone be THAT high on Deuce McCallister. Look at his friggin stats, the guy doesn't score TDs and his rushing numbers are DOWN a bit. Not a guy that I'd bet my season on. I like Dom, McGahee and Edge at that spot. I'd go Edge probably. He's gonna have more TDs this year, Peyton knows that he owes him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hate to have to agree with some of you Deuce Doubters, since I am a huge Saints fan...but with that said...although he is the best shape of his career, has an offense that is set up to hand him the rock, he has a weak O-Line and more imporatantly...HIS SCHEDULE IS BRUTAL AGAINST THE RUN! Edge will get you points, not many TD's (why will they mess with success) but OK numbers. I think Willis could be the top guy with all that I have read.

NavinRJohnson Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 As an Edge owner the last 2 years, there is no way I can recommend taking him that high. Manning just takes away too many points from Edge. Take Deuce. I believe he has the same amount of upside as Edge each week, but his downside (dud game potential is much less than Edge). p.s. This is a great thread. I hope I'm not picking third come draft day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Don't take Moss out of this equation if you're not that high on any RBs!!! I know it sounds insane but think about it, you'll still get two RBs that you like, its a deep year. Heck, pick another one in the 4th and you're incredibly solid at RB and you still have Moss. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat1 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Personally, I'd take Kevin Jones. Might be a bit of reach, but it will payoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose228 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I would consider trading down a couple spots (if you can at this point) and taking Jamal Lewis. Like Clubfoothead said earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGameTime Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 OK I just proposed another trade! I have like I said 1:04 and coming back that that gives me 2:09 coming back in a 12 team league! I'm tring to trade down to 7th which would give me 1:07 and coming back 2:06 and I asked for a 5th round pick next year for him monving up this year! Would this be a good deal! Or am I crazy? HOLLA BACK and let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLGRAF Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Why would the other guy give you an extra pick next year simply to change draft positions this year? If you move down, I would move down to around 9-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Uh, what's wrong with Priest Holmes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Uh, what's wrong with Priest Holmes? 908239[/snapback] Age, health, Larry Johnson. He's as legitimate as the other 6 or 7 choices, I guess, which to me is the problem and why the 1.04 is such a tough pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
