2015 NFFC Early Draft Results

[TheReckoner]

Honestly... I look at this and say Wow... I don't have a problem seeing 3 rb first 3 rounds. Its been done before and all 3 are RB1 caliber. You do this hoping some things fall your way and it just didn't.....

Charles in the 2nd? What the hell... and 3 of past 4 posted drafts lacy was drafted 11th.... to me thats crazy.

this was tough league.. hard to gain upside or any value.

my thing was try to get upside where I could and stay young. is ODELL injury risk? sure. but if not, he's top 3 WR and honestly I've never seen a player dominate so much in recent years the way he did.. he's a game changer.

I couldn't believe D. Murray dropped to me in 2nd round.. I know I know.. Ryan Matthews, Injuries but guess what .. the NFC East's defenses collectively stink. he could top 20 TD's this year. the QB situation is a question mark there and they are going to RUN and RUN... I love him dropping to me..

the rest of my draft guys like Michael Floyd and Keenan Allen, both guys, that were taken last year in 3rd and 4th rounds.. have HUGE upside and I think both will be serviceable and possibly one of the 2 will do very well.

I reached for J. Hill at TE purposesly.. just to get upside.. because drafting at no. 2 is a HUGE disadvantage. you have to make it up with the 3RR.

I though B. Sankey was great value.. he will be the starter..

and I think the key to my draft is J. Randle. if he starts my team will compete and possibly win this league.. if not then i'll be scrambling I think unless sankey does well. anyway, good league.. fun stuff.

I like Murray but either Luck or Rodgers were the proper pick there. How they lasted to the 3rd round is just great for those owners who drafted them. I would place early odds on team 12 winning that league. Those QBs give such a huge advantage. Your team has potential but I would bet John Brown is the 2nd best WR in Arizona this year. Randle needs to and very well could be a stud for your team to contend.
