Just finished my first draft

Beengay fudgepackers · Aug 30, 2015

here is what I ended up with in a ten team standard scoring on ESPN.
QB - Roethlisberger, Bradford
RB- Anderson, Hill, Stewart, Bernard, Hillman
WR- Cooper, Andre Johnson, Steve Smith Sr., Allen Robinson, Ty Montgomery
TE- Dwayne Allen, Owen Daniels
D/ST- Texans
K- Crosby

What do you think?

MilkSpiller22 · Aug 30, 2015

ten team?? and those are your receivers/TE?? I consider this a failure of a draft... Sorry..

TREFF · Aug 30, 2015

Wouldn't be as harsh as Milk was. .but he is right, in a ten team league your WR1 should be better than Cooper, and the rest should all be a step up as well. TE should be better as well, both Daniels and Allen can be found in waivers of a lot 12 team leagues..really shouldn't even have 2, there will always be a startable one available on the wire to cover byes

I'm afraid I've got to echo what Milk & TREFF said. Your going to need a combination of some really good waiver wire work, very crafty trading, and alot of luck in order to be borderline competitive. Fortunately there is still the whole season ahead of you to make some moves so don't lose all faith in your chances.

Beengay fudgepackers · Aug 31, 2015

Yeah, I hear you guys on wr/te. I think Daniels is going to be huge in Denver though. I planned on waiting on him and taking insurance in Allen. I also think cooper and Andre are going to be solid wr1s this year. They won't be world beaters, but they will get good production. I don't see it even close to a failure of a draft though. That's a stretch.

Well that's the thing, a solid WR is a WR2, a WR1 spoils be a world beater. ..especially in a ten teamer. And you could've waited until after you had a kicker to get Daniels, and not baked him up with Allen to begin with. .picks that could've been better used on WR/RB depth. Same could probably be said about Bradford. Much like the TE paleontology, there will always be a startable option on waivers to cover byes

Understandable. I just like having a viable option at TE if Graham gets hurt or isn't good. I also love my Rbs. I think smith and robinson are just fine to back up my wrs too.

TREFF · Aug 31, 2015

Frick phone at pre 7 am, and pre seconds cup of coffee is just dumb. ..paleontology? How the fuck did it auto correct to that word? Among numerous others

I think you're in great shape! RB heavy. Love it.

You have sneaky value at WR, even though no WR1. No problem here.

MilkSpiller22 · Aug 31, 2015

it is nice that you handcuffed your top 2 runners... Only 2 problems you only have one bye week replacement runner and the broncos don't exactly know who there handcuff will be... I would assume it is Ball and not Hillman...

Thus far you assume incorrectly. Hillman is easily the #2, in an every down role, Thompson and Ball battling for #3.
Ball had looked absolutely lost in the zone blocking scheme, he has no clue where to go

theres a difference though between being the number 2 and the handcuff... Hillman will have his role, but I don't see him being Anderson's handcuff... Same reason why we were hesitant about him being Ball's handcuff last season... He is just too small... And with manning a year older and probably having his last season, I just don't see them using Hillman as an every down back... I don't think he can block well enough... Maybe Thompson since he is a bowling ball, but my money is still on ball...

TREFF · Aug 31, 2015

No. .in this instance there's not a difference .Ball is no that too be an early down nor passing back should Anderson go down or bust. The guy is lost in this system, in danger of being passed by Juwan Thompson, they aren't even giving him touches in the preseason to get better, his time is past. Hillman is without a shadow of a doubt the backup to own. Watched virtually every play of the 1st three games, there's no denying it

I have a few trade options now. I can trade Hill for Antonio Brown, Dez Bryant, or Demaryius. I could stand pat there or I could turn around and ship the WR I got with Anderson for AP and AJ Green. Think I should make one or both of these deals? Or should I just stand pat?

Don't do that.

Andre might very well be a #1 now if Hilton's concussion lingers. Career TD year for sure.

Problem again, is that that would mean stewart would be your starting RB... do you want to start him??
I do like all those WRs more than Hill...

THe second deal makes no sense at all...

I think Stewart can be an rb2. I think he can really breakout this year. The problem with these trades is that it makes my handcuff picks practically useless. The reason the second one is an option is because I was offering a swap of our first two picks since he was picking 1st and I want AP. He accepted if forte fell to me, but he didn't. I took cj and hill (he doesn't like hill) with my first two picks. He said if I can get a top WR for hill he would do it. Personally I think AP is better than CJ and Green is on par with Dez/Demaryius/Brown.
