this year I will not be tricked into drafting jared goff last year I drafted marshawn lynch on the basis he wasn't really retired. I was right goddamnit! Just looking at last year's roster, god, what was I thinking with some of those pick.

isn't it literally a best ball league tho? I'm open to either one but I guess for me, the deeper the better because it will force me to evaluate rookies and UDFAs and dudes who got traded in the off season etc. etc. and that's the reason we're drafting in May right

I was kind of torn. I got Julio in the first round so I felt I needed one of the clear RB1s left on the chart. Lamar got hurt a bit last year and still managed decent numbers, and the Texans QB situation is still pretty unclear. They drafted a rookie RB who should be good to go, but I can't see them not leaning heavily on Miller at least for this year, because what are the odds this new guy is a zeke right out the gate? I'm still not sure I grabbed the right guy, but of the top 5 RBs remaining that I want, I'm not sure any of them will still be there at my next pick.

My problem is I've drafted Lamar Miller onto a lot of teams over the last three years and I'm not confident that I can still be objective about him. I've had this problem with fantasy in the past, I get locked onto particular players.

3.06 pick 30 A A Ron Rod Gers I'm usually not taking the first QB off the board, but I think mid 3rd round is fine for Rodgers. He's getting older and maybe has some injury risk, but I think he's a safer pick than the other QB options as far as safe throws and plenty of yards. I had planned to take Gronk or a good WR but the WR with the highest ADP left right now is Watkins and I'm worried about his foot. I dunno. Maybe this is a big mistake.

4.07 #43 Michael Crabtree Technically a WR2 behind Amari Cooper, but I've been paying attention. Crabs gets a lot of TD looks (last year he scored 9 to cooper's 4), he's the go-to guy while Cooper draws heavier coverage, and of the WRs left he's one of the few busting 1000 yards and 7+ TDs last year. All of his stats rose from 2015 to 2016, which is a very good sign for a veteran, and the Raiders in general are on an upswing. In best ball format I'm less concerned about injury potential and I don't see any of the other WRs on the roster cutting into his targets much. I wanted DT here, it was obviously not going to fall to me, and looking through the next ten or so WRs in ADP, Crabtree stood out. One or two other 1k+ yard scoring WRs there but their various situations make me uneasy.

Trading picks sounds cool but uh, are you gonna get an expanded roster size or are you effectively giving up your final pick/gaining an extra final-round pick?

Yeah I mean you could just do a 2:2 swap by trading (say) a 5th and a 24th for a 7th and a 9th. But I totally understand if Beer doesn't want to manually deal with trades and I have no idea if a free MFL will let you do pick trades anyway.

When the draft is over, there is nothing whatsoever to do except watch your points accumulate every week. There's no FA, no trades, no choosing starters, no management at all. There's no matchups, either. You just accumulate points all season and whoever has the most at the end, wins.

Same. Kelce was my next choice after Crabtree so I didn't really have hope he'd fall to my next pick, but now Jordan "brain damage" Reed is gone too.

5.06 #54 Derek Carr OK, this is probably a reach. But I looked over the RB and WR choices that project as 5th rounders and didn't feel like any of them were worth more than the ones that project 6-7th round. I've also already got aaron rodgers, so taking my second QB in the 5th seems wrong? But. I'm sold on Carr, I think the Raiders are going to take a deep dive into the playoffs, and I actually think there's about to be a significant run on QBs (I made this pick before Cam Newton was taken, which solidifies my prediction). I don't want any part of Cam, he's taken too many hits and K-Benj is fat and out of shape and I think Carolina is in decline (sorry timp). I also don't feel like Luck is a safe QB pick either, that team just is too dysfunctional. Wilson has traditionally gotten a lot of points by using his feet, but I think he's transitioning, the team is transitioning, and I prefer a guy like Carr who is young and on an upswing over a guy like Wilson. Wilson is probably safer, but I've already got Rodgers as a safe guy: I think Carr is more likely to pitch a 4+-TD 300+ yard game multiple times a season, and in best ball, that's the high upside you want for your second QB. I originally was gonna take a tight end here, but only if Kelce or Reed were still available.

6.07 #67 Latavius Murray I dunno. He was fine in Oakland and capable of taking the same lead back role in Minnesota, a team with a lingering question mark at QB. I had a hard time picking between a handful of tempting RBs here.

7.06 #78 Mike Williams, LAC A first round WR pick who will be targeted by Phillip Rivers. Still a risk, obviously... but the upside potential is there, and from the seventh round all I'm really looking for is upside potential. But I made my pick yesterday morning, and if I'd known there was gonna be a run on tight ends I might have grabbed one.

8.07 #91 David Njoku Almost everyone has a tight end now except me, so I guess I better grab one huh? Well OK I'll take this first round rookie draft pick guy on the Browns! In all seriousness though, the Browns got rid of Barnidge so they're all in on this guy being their pass-catching outlet for whoever the hell is the QB in Cleveland. Which might be Brock Osweiler, concievably, a man who loved to dump the ball off to his safety blanket tight ends all last season. Maybe this will be a bust pick, I dunno, but gently caress it I don't really want zach ertz so it's this guy.

I was surprised he fell this far, actually. I agree with taking matty ice ahead of him, but I would have taken Prescott over Mariota, and maybe Cousins.

I think Jordan Matthews as your WR4 is an excellent pick, actually. He's young, healthy, and is just as likely as anyone to give you two big games this year, which is all you could ask for in best ball format from your WR4.

Tiptoes posted:I would disagree with your conclusion. Only three guys exceeded 500 yards (Gronk, Keller, Carlson) and only three exceeded 4 TDs (Henry, Gronk, Carlson). You might get a spike week from a rookie here or there but what's Njoku's realistic ceiling in year 1? Like 400 yards and a couple TDs? It's not that guys are busts as rookies; TE is just one of the harder offensive positions to make an immediate impact. Even Gronk looks pretty human aside from his Gronk-ian rate of scoring TDs. They need to stand out as reliable red zone weapons to be fantasy relevant. OJ Howard MIGHT do that; he's the best TE to come out in years and landed with the best QB of the bunch. Still wouldn't take him in the top 10 rounds though. And I'm highly doubtful that Njoku or Evan Engram will make impacts as fantasy players even though I think both can turn in solid rookie campaigns from just a regular football perspective. I think you and I might have different expectations for how a TE outside of the top five guys in the league can be anticipated to perform.

Martin was near the top of my next pick list, yeah. I think he has three more games to sit out, but pocket hamster is gonna be fine after that I assume. I also had some hope for Gore falling to me. He's hella old, but old man Gore just keeps chugging.

10.07 #115 Rob Kelley Basically, Tiptoes posted:[I don't put any stock in Rob Kelley's status as the incumbent. He's a former UDFA they got lucky with but nothing more than an average talent really. They seem pretty high on Perine right away so I believe the starting job will be his easily. Which should translate to some nice volume on an above-average offense. I disagree, but not strongly. I think there's at least a chance Rob Kelley keeps his job, or at worst, slips to #2 and still gets regular usage. Maybe Perine will blow everyone away, but... yeah, most guys turn out not to be Ezekiel Elliot. Meanwhile, Kelley averaged 4.2 YPC last year, his rookie season... that's better than just an "average talent" in my book. And a fourth round RB is insurance, not selling the farm for a guaranteed starter. All that said: I had Gore, Martin, and Powell all higher on my list for my next RB pick, and I'm not as sure of Kelley as I'd like to be. But he's my RB3 behind Lamar Miller and Latavius Murray, so if I get even just like two or three good games this year out of him, that's fine.

Sataere posted:I was eyeing Charles too. I feel like he still has some gas left in the tank. I had him on a team last year and it was ridiculous. During the pre-season he was supposed to be ready for week 1. Then on week one he was nearly there, just another week or two... and again and again, all loving goddamn season. So everyone is gunshy. He should still have gas in the tank... but jesus, going through that will sure put you off a player. Tenth round is amazing if he plays at all, but I decided I already had risk at RB, I just needed a safer pick. Charles could be a league-busting winner though, he really could.
