That's the range of RB13 - 20. Maybe he finishes top ten, in which case I agree with you, but I see the latter happening due to the Cowboys continuing to be "looking" for help at the position. Maybe that's for backup concerns, maybe not, but I would prefer a top 15 WR.

Personally, I agree with you. I'm not even convinced Randall will win the starting job. But because of that, whomever does end up winning the Dallas job will be able to be had after the first few rounds. That means the Dallas RB will be a huge value pick.

Correct - with the way BB goes through RBs it is still unclear if Blount will be the "man." and you are also correct, fumbilities (not saying he does) might happen and see ya starting!

It may seem that way, but it sure doesn't sound like that's the case at all. Sounds more like it's Ball's to win, rather than CJ'S to lose if you're listening to the beat reporters. CJ might be entering as #1, but they're giving Ball...and Juwan Thompson, plenty of opportunity to take it. No way I'm touching him unless one of the others faceplants between now and any of my drafts, especially if he's costing me a first round pick.
In a redraft thats fair. I have Anderson in my Dynasty league so he cost me nothing to keep. I also have Ball for what its worth...

Unless they go with the committee. .which they've stated is the current plan. ..

Might be the perfect time to think about trading him. ..while most everyone assumes he's the starter, might bring a real nice haul for a guy that might not even be "the guy" going forward

New England running backs, by definition, are always overvalued.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Brandon Bolden got 200 carries and Blount was cut by week 7. Belichick is an animal.

I'm thinking of taking both run dmc and Randle.

Believe me. Nobody had higher expectations or a longer leash for DMC than I (maybe Treff), so I know where you're coming from, but it's just a waste of time and a roster spot to even consider drafting him....that is, if he even makes it out of (or into I should say) training camp. He is not the guy who was drafted six or seven years ago.

I think the Dallas O-line stuff is starting to be blown out of proportion.

Seastrunk. remember him? he is in camp with Dallas and I've heard from guys there that he is impressing the heck out of everyone. However, still not sure if he can pick up blitzes or coverages so he may not make the team.

He's still got to earn his spot. That takes more than impressing in preseason. He's a nice guy to watch and maybe bring on the end of the bench. This year I am thinking of taking an RB in the first, then banking on the Dallas backfield. Some back is going to emerge as fantasy elite there. I always overdo RB and WR. I want to get Gronk and Roethlisberger this year as well, which I think is very reasonable.

Auction draft?

Seastrunk is a non factor. .only way he makes the team is a rash of injuries, and that's even counting assuming DMC is out. Strictly a camp body.

Maybe. But he is getting reps with the starters because of injuries and word is that he is the best looking RB we have in camp.

YIkes, you have a solid plan but all it takes is one homer to screw em all up :pound:
I only have to worry about bears homers and people that would take Gronk in the first. I'm hoping for pick 7-10 so I have a shot at a good back and Gronk. Then it's Dallas RBs, good Wrs, and Big Ben from there on out.
