Yeah, if this is gonna be a regular league, I think I'd rather not do this one. I'm in too many leagues as it is. Not sure I will be able to keep up.

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.

89 posted:I would have skipped him. 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.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Feeling good about grabbing McCoy and Freeman. Hard to argue with their floor. 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

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.

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.

89 posted:Fournette in the 2nd, lol. I know he was a beast amongst men in college, but that Jacksonville o-line is baaaaaaad, bad, bad. Fournette is solid in the second and Jacksonville's line wasn't the problem. Bad running backs were the problem. Having said that, I'm not sure I could take him before the third. Beer4TheBeerGod posted: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. These were my top three in the queue for the second. I had Freeman higher too.

I planned on saving QB until much later, but I really didn't like the value at WR or RB. I already had Cooks and Nelson, and not really sold on Hill. The RBs remaining were not worth a fourth. So I took my highest rated QB.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:I considered getting him in the fourth. No way he should have lasted that long. I like him and would take him fifth or sixth, but I think Cooper is poised to steal shares. The last draft had me feeling like I can get great wide receiver depth and running back depth in the later rounds and I'm really high on Luck this year. That and everyone is drafting exceptionally well this time around. I felt much stronger about the value I was getting in the first draft compared to this one.

So in the same vein as my fourth pick, I kinda didn't feel anything for what was available and just grabbed Hunter Henry. I'm very high on him and feel I can have a solid TE option and just shore up RB and WR the rest of the way, since this is a mock draft and I don't normally go with two TEs and only do two QBs 50% of the time.

Leperflesh posted:I took Edelman. He is still listed as the #1 WR on the New England Patriots. Am I missing something? I toyed with a couple other WR1s still on the list but I decided this was just too much value for the mid fifth round. Honestly, the only reason I didn't take him over Henry was I already have Cook. Also the reason I didn't take him over Luck. Really regretting the Cook pick.

89 posted:Why is everybody so high on Perkins? Guy didn't show anything last year. Perkins doesn't have a lot of competition and he did show flashes behind a garbage line. He went high for my tastes, but I can see the appeal. Drunk Nerds posted:Could someone please explain the Coleman love in the fifth round? Even Larry Johnson circa '05, the most valued backup rb I can ever recall, lasted til 6-7 Coleman was a solid RB2 last year, even splitting carries. He is used a fair amount in the passing game and if something happens to Freeman, he looks to inherit a top tier workload. He is a high floor / high ceiling guy.

Leperflesh posted:I agree with all of that, but don't see why he'd rate higher than the RB1s still on the board. Because there are no RB1s left on the board, in my opinion. Only 12 RB1s, and they are all gone. If you mean lead backs, being a lead/feature back is a poor metric. I care about opportunities and I think Coleman will see more looks than a lot of the guys still left. EDIT: But Gore is a solid option. I just have a gut feeling about him that last year was the end.

Leperflesh posted:The thing is, this isn't best ball. When do you start Coleman? Obviously if Freeman is hurt, but otherwise, you're starting him in your RB2 slot and just hoping that this week he has the opportunities, maybe if the Falcons get well ahead and are running down the clock. Last year, Freeman finished as a top back and Coleman outperformed most of them. His opportunities should be fine. I started Coleman in an RB2 slot for much of last year and was fine. It's just a gut feeling. I get your logic. I really do.

Leperflesh posted:for my rb3, missing the first few games is fine, my 1 and 2 will not likely lose their jobs or get hurt before then. And lacy at least has the opportunity to keep a starting job... coleman does not. Agreed. And honestly, Martin was someone I was targeting. I just straight up don't like Lacy at his ADP. Would rather have Rawls ten rounds later. Since I'm starting a fantasy blog in a couple of weeks, I'm not being as cagey with my choices and my decision making this year, despite playing with a lot of you guys. I go against the grain on a lot of things, but if you've been in leagues with me, you know I'm very good at this. My number one rule is don't be afraid of going against the grain of conventional wisdom. I'd rather be wrong because I made a bad choice then be wrong because I went with a consensus that I'm not behind. It's a hard rule to adhere to though. Last year, group think cost me Hunter Henry in dynasty and it still bothers me.

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. If you just follow the sheets blindly, you are using them wrong. There is no question that my recent fantasy football dominance can be linked to them, but only because it is an easy tool to figure out where players will be drafted and adjust my strategy to maximize the players I draft that I love.

Leperflesh posted:The thing is, Sproles is 34. Maybe he'll have Gore-like longevity, but I think the Eagles picking up Blount is a tacit acknowledgement that no, he's not gonna still be able to carry that workload. You might be right about a timeshare... but Blount is a superbowl-winning QB who at 30 is still clearly playing as if he is in his prime. I don't think it matters. Sproles and Blount are two different roles. Pretty stoked to go with Coleman and Henry with my last two picks. I feel like I have the two best 2nd string RBs for top ten RB1 production this year. It's a high upside gambit and I can still pick up a nice third down guy later.

Drunk Nerds posted:No need to worry: The reason Maclin went later was because he was on the chiefs when he was picked in that first draft, iirc And he was still drafted too late. Cutting Maclin is why the GM was fired. He's a WR2 on any team this year and he'll legitimately be the fourth receiver drafted on a lot of teams because people are dumb.

89 posted:Noooo, Decker was supposed to fall to me! I was a bit nervous about waiting too long on my third receiver. Between Decker and Shepard, I think my team has rounded out beautifully and I really like the make up of my roster. 89 posted:Honestly, I'm not too against this weird drafting idea I've spontaneously gone with. Load up on the discounted old guys who were the elite 1-2 years ago. Pad the bottom with boom or bust high potential young guys. I've always felt that old guys who have one bad year always take too drastic a hit in many situations. It's not a bad strategy, as long as you hedge your bets.

Ben Nevis posted:I don't know what to do with Shepard. After a promising year 1, I'd be all over him if it weren't for the Marshall acquisition. And to a lesser extent Engram. I feel like his value last year was mostly because he overproduced on TDs and those opportunities might dry up. Marshall is no guarantee and I look at investment. First year tight ends generally don't do dick. Marshall is gonna play the slot. I think him and Engram will be competing for catches, not Sterling. Sterling has had a full NFL offseason, had a promising rookie year and was drafted at a high position on his team. There's no reason to believe he'll get worse and as a fourth receiver, that's a great floor. A lot of people thought he might be the best receiver in last year's draft, so he still has a high ceiling. I'm happy with him.

Leperflesh posted:Yeah the fantasy world seems really down on him, on the impression that he was only good in Oakland because of a great OL and if he'd been that good, Oakland would have re-signed him or something. I had to hedge my running back bets. I still have four pretty strong receivers, but I also think there are more worthwhile running backs in the middle rounds and receivers are easier to find. I'm treating this like an actual mock draft. That means I know I'll find at least one WR3 on the WW during the regular season.
