BlackSwan2.0 posted:I'm doing some mock draft's through Draft Dominator to account for my keepers and traded draft picks. When Megatron is healthy and playing, he's a good bet for production due to his offensive system. If AJ Green is healthy and playing, he's not the same bet because for the same reason.

I would say Green, and Calvin are exactly even this year. Coin flip it. They both have their positives and negatives, but I think both will have good bounce back years. I looked to get either in the second, and ended up with Green, because someone took Calvin in the first.

I really don't like RB/RB, I messed up. I'm playing a best ball MFL10, picked 5th and took J. Charles (Brown went 1.1 or I would have picked him after top 4 RB's) and then Hill at #20 and Hilton at #29. Now I have 2 WR and a flex position to fill in 1PPR and I'm looking at a WR#2 of Tate/Marshall/Cooper. On the other hand, the draft is at #30 and Spiller, Ingram, Gordon, Abdullah, Randle, Ivory and Martin are still on the board to name some favorites.

Ya, doing a lot of mock drafts and 'mock' drafts in the ESPN lobby. When I go 2 or EVEN 3 RBs first---very dumb. I am stuck with taking any WR I can get with next 2 picks, sometimes it works out GREAT, other times, not so much.

I find mocks to be unhelpful because it is almost universally better to try to game the people you're drafting with rather than a general strategy. For example, I draft with Eagles fans so I know they will let Cowboys and Giants fall further than they should.

I just checked Scott Pianowski's rankings. In PPR he has Abdullah as RB9 and #16 overall. I know he's the most accurate ranker per FantasyPros but that's a serious bet.

It all depends on who you draft with and how it goes. Last year one of my leagues went apeshit with WRs and QBs and I ended up going Forte/Murray/Bell and rode them all year with Wilson as my QB and TY Hilton as my #1. Won the championship with ease with some waiver wire work. There's no be all end all strategy to the draft, they all have merits and all change as you draft.

I do way too many ESPN mock drafts for the small amount of useful knowledge I get in return. Mostly I just do them to get a feel on how long I can wait and not get hosed on having a couple decent QBs. I figure out what rounds they usually disappear and then plan to take them a couple rounds earlier than that in my real draft since my friends don't know how to wait on them

Copying their poor decisions only means you're also making a poor decision.

What's the best insider resource to pay for? There are a lot of them in the OP, and all of the guys have ESPN Insider, so I'm looking for something more. Oh, and in a 2 QB league, should I definitely make my 1st and 2nd picks a QB? Last year I went Forte/Murray 1-2, but I never got solid QB play. The guy who won our league basically did it with Andrew Luck and waiver-wire OBJ.

10 man league, 7th pick. 1QB, 2RB, 1TE, 3WR, 1K, 2LB, 1DL, 1DB. No flex. Somebody talk me out of drafting Gronk/JJ Watt as my first two picks. Should I pass on an elite RB if he falls to me? Do I go Gronk/elite WR and just build my recieving core to elite levels with Gronk and my 3 spots at WR I have to start? Go maybe a little Mark Ingram/Jon Stewart at RB?

The God of Pre-season ACL Tears is a vengeful one. ^^ It depends on your scoring system. JJ gets a lot of passes deflected, sacks, and scored like what, 2 touchdowns last year on offense? I doubt you will get an elite RB like AP, Charles, Lynch or Bell bit you take one of those if they fall. Else stock up on WRs and stash your bench with RB hopefuls and lotto tickets. ^ I like Boldin in that spot.

You don't necessarily need to go QB/QB, but you should grab your first two QBs in the first five or six rounds. If Luck is sitting on the board at any point for you, then you hit the draft button as quickly as possible. If it's a 6PTTD league, then you mash that button like it owes you money.

Calaris Campbell - 108 points This is why I'm at this predicament. I would LOVE to get him in the 3rd round, but I just don't see that happening with my draft position and the guys I'm drafting with. Now, I definitely could benefit from snatching whatever WR/RB falls because of JJ getting taken so early, but....gosh darnit, JJ. Although, to be fair, 2013 he only scored 160 points and Quinn did that, too. It's just not sustainable to have a nutty season like last year again, right?

Aaron Donald - 100 points 09. Rob Ninkovich - 100 points 10. Jerry Hughes - 99 points 10 man league, 7th pick. 1QB, 2RB, 1TE, 3WR, 1K, 2LB, 1DL, 1DB. No flex. So, basically now I probably should just take Antonio Brown, Gronk, and pray for JJ Watt but don't expect him in the 3rd.

Yeah Jordy is so drat consistent and Megatron seems to be having a lot of fluctuating years lately between his health and the Lion's various woes. Green also burned me last year in his decoy games and that game where he sat out because his arm hurt a little bit after a hit.

I'm in this exact situation (picking 12th?) and have been thinking about the same question. I'm starting to lean towards Megatron and Green. They are both the undisputed #1 options in their respective offenses, are bigger and more physically talented, and have higher ceilings than Jordy. They should also still have great floors.

Is it wrong that some part of me is annoyed that the players who are getting injured pre-drafts, like Shady and Kevlin Benjamin, are ones who I feel like were going to way under perform compared to their ADP, are injured and are now going to drop to more appropriate ADPs? So many bad players are going to miss out on taking Kelvin in the second now...

While there is a huge gulf between Watt and the next best available DL, you have to assume some regression. That said, I wouldn't be against taking Watt in the 2nd given how much of a gulf there was in his production compared to the next best player.
