Okay I flipped a coin for those who said they wouldn't mind giving up a slot and here's the list: Beer4TheBeerGod 89 Drunk Nerds Cervixalot MrSargent Leperflesh jabro Diqnol Veritek83 Kenichisan Ben Nevis Sataere I would like to change the draft so that this is a traditional mock, not a best ball league. We're close to July and I think it's time I treated this like redraft. Any issues with doing that?

This is not a redraft league. It's a mock draft. The question is whether or not we're drafting as if it was a mock draft for a redraft league, or a draft for a best ball league. You won't be choosing players or doing anything else. Roster: 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1FLX/1DST Option 1: 14 Rounds (5 Bench Spots) Option 2: 20 Rounds (Best Ball League Style) My preference is Option 1.

Leperflesh posted:OK well I'm OK with doing a mock draft, but I'd also like to do another best ball so if it's a mock draft I'll start a best ball draft later tonight. Go ahead and start one up. More drafts is always better.

89 posted:So it won't track any points to see how we did at the end of the season? It will still keep track of things. The difference is how we draft. Rather than draft for a best ball league (20 players, needing to accommodate for bye weeks, etc) the idea is that we would treat this as a regular mock (14 players).

Feeling good about grabbing McCoy and Freeman. Hard to argue with their floor.

I debated between Jordy and Freeman. Both will likely be fine, but MY SHEET says that Freeman had more value and the two are basically equal on rank so it's a coin flip. I'm probably not going to like this mock. Most of my other mocks have made me wish I had gone WR early, so we'll see how this works out. On the other hand McCoy's value was too great to give up (he's my 5th highest valued player and RB4), and Freeman is right behind him.

Rotoviz has a good article on why Dez might be a trap. Specifically his targets per game have been trending down, he hasn't been terribly efficient with those targets, and there isn't really any reason for that to change. In other words he's being drafted at his ceiling even though there's a solid chance he ends up as a WR2 like last year.

Both Thomas and Robinson have mid-third round grades, so getting them at the turn is pretty fantastic. I didn't really feel the need to go QB (particularly since I'm not sold on Brady), TE is something I will likely punt on unless the value is very good, and while RB is an option my highest ranked player is Marshawn Lynch and I really like the opportunity elsewhere. Thomas was last year's WR13 and has been a consistent starter, so drafting him as the 19th player off the board is great value. Robinson was the next highest value and I think he's in line for a bounce-back year. Obviously there are a lot of risks here (not the least of which being Bortles), but given that Bortles was playing injured I'm willing to take a shot on a player who last year was being drafted in the first round.

Larry Fitzgerald is going to be 34 and is certainly on the wrong side of things, but even in his age he makes a fantastic WR3. Hard to argue with his floor, although it looks like my team is looking exceptionally safe. The honest answer is that I just don't see any players that really excite me. Mark Ingram is great in a PPR format, and personally I think arguments for Adrian Peterson are overblown.

Leperflesh posted:Oh, man, yeah that. I use beersheets and the last couple years I used them as a crutch to avoid learning about a lot of the guys I was drafting. I definitely wound up with one or two players I shouldn't have, just because I went with the consensus. (And that's no knock on Beersheets, mind you, that's just a tool that aggregates expert rankings, it's not on Beer to second-guess or analyze that stuff. ) I'm the first person to say that ignoring consensus values for your own personal rankings is perfectly acceptable. It's something I routinely do, no matter how hard it is to ignore the compulsion to simply follow what THE SHEET tells me to do.

89 posted:TIGHT END RUN!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I'd rather start one than be left behind. Plus Eifert offers a ton of upside if he's healthy. In the past I waited even longer on a TE and really hated the outcome. As for Maclin, I feel like there are a bunch of high upside players in this tier. It was difficult to decide between them but I chose the guy with the QB who has an amazing arm.

Cam Newton - ECR has him going two rounds earlier and we're only one year away from when he was being drafted in the top five. Sure we're expecting him to see less of a running role and he's recovering from injury, but this late in the draft his upside is too high to ignore. Kenny Britt - Seeing the TEs available makes me wish I had waited another round and picked up a better WR like DeVante Parker last round, but Britt is someone I'm high on. Last year Britt was a WR2 on a per game basis, historically he's made his really lovely QBs better, and arguably Cleveland is a better situation than LA.

Leperflesh posted:Marvin Jones. The clear #2 in Detroit's passing attack, with 800+ yards as a floor, and potential for a lot more than that if he shapes up. Supposedly he'll be better this year after working with Randy Moss in the offseason? I won't count on it, but he'll be fine to slot in for bye weeks and matchups. If I hadn't gotten Cam I would have gotten Jones.

Terrance West - With four RBs I'm pretty happy, especially since all of them are starters in the beginning of the season. There's no guarantee that Dixon takes the starting role when he comes back. Adam Thielen - Last year's breakout season saw him finish as a WR2, and there are plenty of additional targets for him to improve. For all his talents Stefon Diggs is highly injury prone, and even if that's not the case Thielen is likely to outperform his draft spot as the 54th WR off the board. Overall I'm really kicking myself for my TE and QB choices. I could have waited a round and picked up Kyle Rudolph instead of Tyler Eifert, and there are plenty of QBs still on the board that I would be happy to own (Taylor and Dalton in particular) and would likely be able to get super late.
