Draft Strategy

[uncfan103]

Twelve team, half PPR. I have the 11th pick. If I could get Jimmy Graham and Aaron Rodgers with my first two picks is that a decent strategy or will it put me too far behind the 8 ball with RBs and WRs? Thoughts? Thanks.

I think it would put you behind the 8 ball. I would rather go WR/WR or RB/WR. Really depends on who drops out of the WR's and RB's on which way I would go. Twelve team league I don't consider taking a QB in the early rounds. I wouldn't take a Graham either. I did it in one of my dynasty leagues about 3 years ago and my RB/WR core is still trying to recover from it.

I would go Brees over Rodgers, but that's ticky tacky, it will definitely amplify the need to"hit"on those mid-late-round running backs and wide outs, but it's not at all impossible. Not a strategy I particularly like and would never do it myself, that's doesn't mean it can't be done.

personally, Id rather go Graham + top WR in that position. Actually, that's exactly what I did in our message board draft last weekend - Graham + AJ Green. (Megatron, Dez, Thomas were already gone).

Anytime you don't take RBs/WRs in the first 2 rounds, you will be behind in those spots. Cause only 1 TE, and 3 QBs AT THE MOST will be taken before your 3rd round pick. So that's 32 picks, minus 3 QBs and 1 TE, leaves you with 28 RBs/WRs that will be gone, before you even have 1.

Gotta really nail your mid-round picks with that strategy, but having Graham can ease the pain at either RB or WR, but probably not both.

GL - and let us know how it turns out, no matter what you do!

Any strategy can work. Just gotta do your homework. I wouldn't take a QB there. ..but that's me.

I can't fathom a scenario in which both are available to you anyways.

In any order that you'd like:

AP
Charles
McCoy
Forte
Lacy
Ball
Peyton
Megatron
D Thomas
Dez Bryant
Murray
Gio Bernard
Brees
AJ Green
Lynch

Never know what could happen, and any owner who's drafting on a hunch could paint a case to take these guys ahead of Graham/Rodgers, imo.

Meh. These teams aren't drafted by lists or robots. They're drafted by fans. Rodgers will go top 10. So will Graham. They ALWAYS do. Well, almost always. I just can't reasonably see a scenario in which both are available.

 

[kramer1]

And anyone who takes Lynch or Bryant in the top 10 is an idiot.

Rodgers didnt go until pick 33 in our 12 teamer

Beauty Demary-Ball love the start

Again with idiot....

Where did Graham go?

There's been a lot of propaganda out there on all the sites this year about drafting qb's later so that doesn't surprise me. Although, I don't agree with it. Rodgers is a top 15 guy at absolute worst.

An idiot, dolt, or dullard is an intellectually disabled person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way.

isnt posting or calling some one an idiot counterproductive

it sure is in these forms

 

[SoShady]

Not bad at all hopefully Ball is the real deal.

Lots of Broncos touchdowns. Nice overall!

When Ebron fails you, may I suggest keeping an eye on Marcedes Lewis. Sneaky top 15 TE.
