I'm a bit sad to be in the back end of the draft again, but honestly I hope it's where I'm at in my drafts anyway. But if anyone wants my spot, let me know and we can swap. (12)

So apparently I was picking 8th, not 12th. Hmm, I only casually set up a pre draft list and not sure I would've taken Howard at 8, because I like his chances of being there in the second. Still, I think he'll be top five this year, so not too miffed.

It's funny how last year was ANTONIO, ODELL, AND JULIOOOO with the first 3 picks. Now it's complete opposite with BELL, DAVID JOHNSON, ZEKEEEE....oh hey, what's up WR fam.

Because Bell was suspended, DJ was a one year wonder and Zeke was a rookie in a league where rookies never lead the league in rushing.

While zero RB was an exciting strategy, having the top RB on your team is the easiest path to championships and always had been. It's just a bitch figuring out who that'll be. :v:

I'm annoyed with the Howard pick because I think Freeman at 8 would've been nice. I really just put a couple guys up I thought would be available at 12 and planned on seeing who was available once ten was on the board. Lesson learned.


Still think Howard ends top five, so not that perturbed

Ben Nevis
Jan 20, 2011
There's definitely a case to be made for Howard as RB4 off the board. I wouldn't worry about that too much at all.


For my first round analysis I drafted AB because the top 3 RB were gone and duh.

I'm not that worried. Truth be told, he is my RB4. But I believe in maximizing value. Mike Evans and AJ Green were both better values and will likely be better than whichever combination of receiver and Howard I'll get in the second if that's the direction I go.

I'd rather have one of those two and the RB8. And I'm mostly just talking to explain why what I did is wrong by my own draft logic. Because offseason.

Grabbed Gronk. It's only a mock so we can all pretend he'll get 16 healthy games, right?

Leaving me a rough choice in the 2nd depending on the next pick

Chen Kenichi
Jul 20, 2001
I really wanted Mike Evans at 1.07, but I looked at how I thought the RBs would go and it appeared there would be no good targets at 2.06 if I did draft him, leaving me to possibly struggle for at least one known RB to depend on. Melvin Gordon was a safe pick getting me a top class RB to anchor that position group.

2.06 left me with Amari, Thomas, and Dez to fill a needed WR1. Going Thomas since he already has an established floor from last year, and with Cooks off to NE he takes over the WR core with a solid second WR in Snead to relive a bit of coverage pressure. Strong floor with a high ceiling? This is what a WR1 is.

I've changed my mind about Howard. If I knew Jordy would fall to me, I'd take Howard every time in that spot. I got my RB4 and WR4, so I'm happy.

The Jordy pick is especially amusing based on the debate I'm having with Leperflesh, since I am decidedly anti-Jordy with my first pick in dynasty. :D
