NFFC Early Season Draft Results

[David U Kennedy]

Wish I could have drafted in this one. Roddy White 4th round??? Leshoure that high??? Why? Gronkowski is a bit of a risk right now for a 3rd round price. Too bad the slot 2 guy didn't take RBs to pair up with Calvin and Roddy could have been sweet.

Thoughts?

Lots of solid cores here.

Team 2 hasn't drafted a RB yet and is apparently going to throw darts at mid-range RBs and hope some stick? Good luck with that. I've seen it be successful in DCs, but just as often not-so-much. Definitely a boom or bust approach. Is this a Bill C. team?

Team 7 wins the award for best preseason WR corps, hands down: Marshall, Bryant, VJax, James Jones, Maclin 
Without a lot of luck though, there could be a fair amount of low single digit RB2 scores each week.

If team 9's planets align properly on health and given the decent QBs still available, there's a lot of DC upside in a start of:
1 9 Trent Richardson RB 
2 4 Matt Forte RB 
3 4 Darren McFadden RB 
4 9 Michael Crabtree WR 
5 4 Hakeem Nicks WR 
6 9 Pierre Garcon WR 

Team 12's gonna need to hit on a few mid-late round WRs in order to not lose ground each week at a position in which 3 players are counted (and flex players are often easier to come by as WRs too). Colston's a solid WR2, but this team will need to land some well-placed WR darts.

No darts yet, thru rd10 team 2 doesn't have a RB yet

[RiFF]

Excluding starting with something like 6 straight QB's....it's pretty tough to screw up the first 6 rounds. No question some starts are better balanced while others may take on added risk with injury history etc. , but minus something really dumb, most starts can be contenders.....it's really the next 6-9 picks AFTER the 6 round start that will generally determine your team's success. And if you happen to get "lucky" late with say someone like Alfred Morris last year; it may put you over the top and into the winner's circle

No RBs after ten rounds??? Never seen that before. Gotta be a ZERO chance of winning there. The best start has to be the team who got Brees in the 3rd. Although im not on the Amendola being a Welker clone train.

Turning the corner RD12 and still no RBs!!

I'm biased, but I like Brees in the 3rd. In hindsight I'm not so happy with Nelson/Danny but I'm pleased with my RB group

Jordy should be a stud again this year with no Jennings around. I like Ballard at that point too. McCoy Green Brees is purely awesome!!!

Thoughts?

I am in this league, team 3. I am happy with my core - Martin, Julio, Cobb, Cam, L Bell, Ivory. Added WRs T Smith, T Austin, and Little along with TEs V Davis and J Finley and 2nd QB Schaub. And YES there is a team that has yet to draft a RB. But he has taken 2 Kickers and 2 defenses. He's got balls. Very few guys left with any playing time. Very interesting draft.
