i pick 6th. got some good advice last year (a few people put me on to josh gordon, who won 2 leagues for me single handedly.)

do i go QB here? it doesn't appear that i'll get AP, charles, mccoy, forte here. should i take peyton or should i take CJ or jimmy graham? i need one big stallion to produce every week. then i have to find that sleeper. thanks guys, draft is in 45 min.

 

[FairWarning]

There are a lot of QB's. I would look at Lacy or J Graham, maybe Montee Ball here.

Make sure your top 5 picks are solid contributors, then draft upside players after that.

 

[ZJP6050]

yeah i can get a qb late. any thoughts on calvin? strongly considering graham, with 16 teams he sets me apart at that position.

Wait on qb. Rb is always thin so I'd go rb/wr/rb or wr/rb/rb first 3 picks. Wait on TE also, to me Pitta/Rudolph/Miller are decent enough & if you feel lucky Wright later for if & when Gronk goes down.

i agree rb is thin..graham very enticing though because outside of a healthy gronk and julius thomas nobody comes close.

Stay away from a QB.

 

[slapshot]

why no TE

 

[ZJP6050]

i got forte at pick 6..

 

[ZJP6050]

about another ten picks til i go. lynch/lacy went 11/12. graham gone. brees, rodgers, manning, brady gone. calvin/dez/marshall/green gone

 

[ZJP6050]

if julius is there should i grab him? or go RB or best available WR.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Jordy Nelson or Toby Gerhart

 

[loomis41973]

BEst RB or WR

 

[HarryCaray]

If it's PPR see if you can get Vereen in round 3. He's going late in drafts I've been in and guy is a PPR beast.

 

[HarryCaray]

i got forte at pick 6..

Gotta love that

 

[HarryCaray]

Best available WR then vereen would be my gameplan

 

[ZJP6050]

i tried to nab vereen but he was taken a few picks ahead of me. i decided to take julius thomas round 2 in lieu of the welker suspension. qb's started flying off the board at a rapid pace so i had to take matt ryan, who i hope is primed for a big year.

my team so far...

QB ryan
RB forte
RB richardson
WR v jax
WR wallace
TE thomas

i'm hurting at WR but i didn't have much of an option, positions getting thin in a hurry. reached on thomas.

monte ball

 

[Michelangelo]
