2015 Suicide Comparisons

[averagejoe]

Hopefully, it's not too small to read. They are sorted by the average draft position.

RB = 54 total between both leagues. Only 10 were not drafted in both of the leagues.
WR = 58 total between both leagues. Only 9 were not drafted in both of the leagues.

Here's the QB and TE. Again, sorted by average draft position.

QB = 25 total were drafted. Only 3 were not drafted in both leagues.
TE = 21 total were drafted. Eight were not drafted in both leagues.

P.S. shaded cells designate rookies.

Just like last year the B league value top QBs more than the A league

Not surprising.

I wonder if Joe can post both spreadsheets. I want to compare my team to the A team that drafted 7th.

 

[broncosmitty]

In comparison I got great value in my RBs. Not so much anywhere else. (Little bit with my 1,3,5 receivers.)


Great work Joe!

I want to compare my team to the A team that drafted 7th.

Actually, that would be me. But I approached the suicide draft a little different this year. And you have to understand that I KNOW that the others will be drafting RB and WR early and often, and that they'll wait on QB. That also factored into my strategy. But it also hurt my strategy because the RB were picked clean.

You should also know that I tend to draft conservatively, and try not to reach on unproven players or players on bad teams (if I can help it). Anyway, here are my picks to compare (copied from the thread):

#7 - RB1 Matt Forte - averaged 4th best YPG the last 4 years. And Fox historically features the run.
#18 - WR1 Jordy Nelson
#31 - WR2 Emmanuel Sanders - wanted to lock up 2 quality WR early. Didn't last year & it hurt.
#42 - QB Peyton Manning - Highest TD avg of any QB. & TD's = points. (No backup QB.)
#55 - TE Greg Olsen - didn't want to worry if my TE might be consistent.
#66 - RB2 Tevin Coleman - all other RB were picked over. Don't trust rookies. He better pan out.
#79 - RB3 David Cobb - ditto for Cobb. Plus Sankey was putrid last year.
#90 - Houston Texans - wanted a decent D with an easy schedule. Check.
#103 - WR3 Anquan Boldin - just love this guy. Defies odds, & he has chemistry with Kaps.
#114 - RB4 Devonta Freeman - handcuff in case Coleman is a bust.
#127 - WR4 Kendall Wright - can Mariota get it near his zip code?
#138 - WR5 Steve Smith Sr.- history says 1st year-Trestman offense usually pays off.
#151 - K Steven Hauschka
#162 - RB5 Jeremy Langford - handcuff to Forte.

Actually you guys value upper middle tier more than wr do. The top QB's, of which there are only two distinctly above the others, were drafted very similarly. For some reason you guys really wanted to have dibs on guys who are likely to finish in a big pile from 3-8

 

[Chef99]

Bit of a discrepancy with TEs. I'm a little surprised Rudolph didn't get picked on our side.

Speaking for myself only. I considered the QBs as tier 1 Luck and Rogers. Tier two to be Ben R., Russell Wilson, and Tony Romo. I was waiting until someone took a tier two QB, then my next pick was going to be QB. I was hoping it would happen a bit later, but...it didn't.

Yeah that was my bad but I felt Wilson was too good of value to pass up at that point. Knew he wouldn't have made it back around.

You might be right, it did start a run on QBs in the B league.

as always Wow thanks for the hard work Joe Great Stuff

Kind of upset with myself for taking Vernon Davis over Rudolph
