Now at 5.14 Who would YOU draft at this spot?

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Thu Jul 30, 2009 2:35 am

With the way WRs are flying in this draft, I think you'd have to grab Smith and an RB at the turn. After Smith it gets dicier at WR and it's unlikely that T.O. or Welker or Bowe make it back to you in the third. You have a better chance of seeing a worthy RB2 come back to start the third round than a WR1.

With that, I'd go Smith, Gore. Gore-Westy is tempting but thanks to 3RR you have better options with your next pick by going WR-RB.

1.14 Frank Gore

and we start the second round
2.01 Steve Smith
2.02 ....OTC

and NOW YOU are the 13th drafter at 2.02 - you already have Reggie Wayne, so.... WHO would YOU pick if you were in this spot in the draft? choices are

Right now, you need to put me down for DeAngelo Williams.

Closer to the season, it could very well be a different story! :D

For a big chunk of last season, up until his injury, this guy was the #1 WR in the league. I'm going to bet he finds his form again and trust myself to scoop RB later.

Put me in for Boldin

I would go DeAngelo right here. Money in the bank with Wayne already on the team. Westy has the enormous upside but Williams is a sure thing. (if there is such a thing)

DeAngelo Williams. Too risky right now in my opinion to take Westbrook there ahead of a guy who's healthy and in a dominant running game.
