BillsFanInTexas Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 looks like you have to draft Jerricho Cotchery if you have that pick (based on the mock drafts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Bingo. I had Priest Holmes in his breakout year (was that 2002?) and got him relatively late. Then the drop off started. I just don't see any way Brady is not stellar this year again. The B word part is that I'll have picks 28 and 29 and I'll likely get two middle of the road RBs. My WR corp will then be hurting. #1 overall in a league this big blows as most would agree that 1-3 are all the same pick depending on who has em. Afew years ago I had Marshall Faulk a year too late. The funny thing was the 2 years before that I drafted him the guys who had faulk won the league. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 looks like you have to draft Jerricho Cotchery if you have that pick (based on the mock drafts) Of course not, based upon my projections (which are my personal opinion), he was the best overall player left at that point in each one of those drafts. Really, do you have a point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornerville Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 If your league gives good points for RB receptions, I would actually consider Westbrook #1 overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOTONE Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Im sorry but 14 teams is way too much for 1 league. Drafting has to be ridiculous, the drop off in talent is major by the time you choes again. If you want my opinion I would need to know your structure. If you start 1QB or 1RB you take the best available, flip a coin between Brady and LT cant go wrong. BUt seeing as you have 14 teams QB are going to be a premium, alot of teams like running back by commitee so you could stuill get a decent back. Someone wil grab TO and Moss with the first pick which shouls open the door for you a little. I happen to think Big Ben and Santonio Holmes wil be this years Randy and Tom. Just a thought. They installed a new spread offense, I like what they are doing there. If you can go LT, Ben and Welker your in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffal0 Bill5 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 While Brees had a down start to the season, he ended up with 4423 yards, 28 TDs, and just 18 INTs. Our league is head to head format, and his slow start helped to pin some early losses on me that really hurt. I guess league structure does factor pretty heavily into the discussion.

cantstopbeastmode Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm thinking out of the box, but it should work. I say go Brady first, and your QB position will be set for good, and you will have the highest scoring player in your league, by far. 3-4 tds and 300-350 yds a week are pretty much guaranteed. Then, as you said, at 28-29, the RBs will be real thin. Take 2 WRs! Say you could land guys like Housh and Boldin, your team would be in awesome shape. Sure, your rbs would suck, but something had to suck, why not rbs? I mean its either take 2 average rbs at 28-29, or take 2 stud wrs. Then, when rds 4-5 come around, go with the best value. I've always gone with the 2 RB theory, and it sucks. I'd get stuck with guys like mcgahee or shaun alexander or lt, and they just dont put up numbers week in, week out.
