Also, 16 team leagues suck when your top 4 guys go before your pick on the swing around.

Almost my pick, and my target hasn't been touched...

Granted, I haven't had a chance to figure out who my target is, but that's beside the point!

Just IMO, but I don't believe Martavis Bryant is being overvalued.

:)

Martavis is kind of limited. He'll still strike on the big plays, but not enough volume to be going as high as he is. He's getting drafted as the first #3WR by a long shot. Great fit for the Steelers though as their deep threat.

That is probably the best way to go in a 16 team league. Don't think until your on deck. :)

In all fairness I say it to his face too.

Curious why you say he is "limited"?

Doesn't really know what he's doing out there, he's just tall and fast. That was the word in the draft and the Steelers were smart to find a way to get the most out of him.

I've always been pretty impressed with Bryant. He has great tools... The Steelers usually get the best out of their WR's... He did really well late last year tailed off a bit at the end. Not sure what to make of Wheaton yet. Liked him in college. Was a little surprised that he was a "fit" for the Steelers... Last year he didn't really step up and Bryant did.. .We will see how it pans out this year.

I wasn't planning to grab two defenses back-to-back like that, but in the process of trying to decide between the two, I realized they have pretty favorable schedules that fit together quite nicely, so figured, what the hell?

Breshad Perriman is sucking it up (by being injured right now) but I am taking a shot on him here as in reality he has a golden opportunity to start if he can ever get on the field.

Yea I thought about him instead of Coleman last round. Rookies have a hard enough time much less ones that get 0.0 preseason but he will be the guy eventually. Maybe this year maybe not. Worth a shot at this point.

Yeah the combination of the lack of reps due to injury and needing a lot of developing still probably shelves him pretty limited early in the year, maybe a mid season guy when bye weeks kick in sorta thing... Great upside obviously and he is on an offense that doesn't have much at WR opposite Steve Smith so he has every opportunity once he gets going get on the field at least. Worth a shot.

When in this timeline is he going to learn to catch?

Super glue gloves.

I personally have no idea how Perriman was a first round pick, but I aint making those decision. Not that I think he is awful by any means, but he is very raw with very questionable hands. He is good after the catch and has that nice frame at WR, but he has a ways to go.

Which brings me to. I drafted two first round rookies this year who I thought were way over drafted.

But it's all about opportunity. :)

Already have Cobb, and need was pointing any number of other directions, but Montgomery is too good of a value to pass up again. Surprised he's still available with Janis going in the 10th.

I am not really surprised Montgomery was available but I do like the pick. I am a big Montgomery fan and he fits the Packers offense really well. I think Ty is gonna do very well in Green Bay it just may not be as a rookie fantasy wise, but with Jordy out he also has an opportunity there to strike the top 3. Janis has had a great camp.
