So lets focus on the fact that the potential exists that in round 2, pick #24 overall, you could be without any of the top 19 RB's. I realize you don't go by ADP, so RB's 14-19 could have no value to you....

but you aint gonna take a rookie RB (Benson, Brown, Caddy, or Arrington) @ 24. So the WR has to be compelling to you there.

For some reason... I feel you will love the #13th spot in ultimate !

I am 11th in Main league and I already have our first four rounds of picks completed!

i look at it this way i have the 5th pick in new york im figuring grabbing a stud rb with first pick rounds 2 and 3 get 2 good wr as far as a tight end after gates and gonzo its a crap shoot probably could get whitten or heap in 5th round...eddie i agree with you j.jones is good with 5th pick but i like duece in 5 hole as far as portis dont like him no passing game teams will stack the box against portis

So 3 pages on who a Co-Manager may take?

Interesting.

3'

3' ooopppsss....co-managers are limited to only 2 pages. bad form everyone. lou said so.

if i were you, i'd spend my time focusing on finding players that perform well during the fantasy playoff weeks

So we can put Portis & Deuce in the same category....both WILL be there @ #5 for your taking. as i said before, i KNOW my player will be there at #5. i could care less about ADP. last year i took d.davis and westbrook before almost everyone, and well before their ADP. [/QUOTE]

I too took dominick davis with my first pick at 14. He did help me go 9 and 4 but didnt make the playoffs, lost on tie breakers.First 3 picks running backs last year DAVIS JOHNSON DUNN.
Learned my lesson on qb's wait took VICK 4 THEN DELHOMME IN ROUND 9. DELHOMME OUT PLAYED HIM. 29 TD'S TO VICK'S 15. Getting off my message , but i too DAVIS WITH FIRST ROUND.

I'm a novice high-stakes player. I'm reading these boards trying to educate myself, but all I read about is where and who Gekko will pick. I have the #2 slot in NYC League 5, so my pick will be made for me by the #1 team. LT or Alexander and then it's off to the races without a program. Lord, I hope that T.O. makes it back to me....yeah, right.
