WR depth is weak, but your RB depth is solid.

I disagree. I think this was an outstanding draft. Smith and Randle are both good value picks. Also, the TE is Jordan Reed, right?

Brees, if you are watching, this is how to draft. Because he waited on both QB and TE, he was able to amass a ton of depth at RB/WR. The advantage gained by having an elite QB over the Luck/Dalton combo is not as great as you think. Also, Reed could be a top 5 TE if he can stay healthy.

yep jordan reed, and tlance..........thats exactly how i draft.........i waited to get a "good" and solid dependable qb.......and backed him up with a guy who had a big year last year, TE i waited, around that round some guys with huge potential like reed, ertz, Kyle Rudolph were available.........and if those are my wr's in other leagues i'll be extremely happy.........i think Dthomas may be #1 this year.........VJAX is not threatened by the rookie, hopkins is 2nd year wr, randle will be a factor for the giants, regardless of the injured rookie, and patterson well hes got potential all over.......

RB's
Lacy-Bell Cow
Gio-at least 50/50 with pass catching as well
Sankey-not guaranteed but gonna be active
Jennings- who is gonna threaten the coveted Giants RB role now?
Lamar Miller-path to starter is his.......

compiled at least a definitive RB1 in laxy, and IMHO 2 RB2 in Jennings and GIO, with sankey and miller having definite roles with huge upside........

I just seen that the OP forgot to list Vincent Jackson in his roster summary. Yeah, his WR depth is fine with that addition.

 

[SteelersPride]

Yes i did forget to list VjAX
QB-Andrew Luck, Andy Dalton
RB-Ed lacy, Gio Bernarnd, Rashad Jennings, bishop Sankey, Lamar Miller
WR- Demarius Thomas,Vincent Jackson, Coradelle Patterson, Deandre Hopkins, Reuben Randle, steve smith
TE-josh Reed
K-Dan Bailey
D- Bucs D

Couple things, and I may be way off here, but I don't like Lacy at 6 (even though most of the world does). Hopkins is talented, but he'll never see the ball with Fitzcrapstick likely locking on AJ. And I don't think Sankey is a good selection either. Tie that in with boom-busters like VJax and Patterson and sprinkle in Reed's 2013 concussion problems...and I say you're on thin ice.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Take 4 TD away from his 11 last year, which is conceivable in an Rodgers' full season and Lacy is in Gore territory...which us good, but not 6th overall good.

First off four is a lot, second it's conceivable that with Rodgers the offense moves better and they don't key on him. Freeing him up more, and more offensive production resulting in more touchdowns.

I don't know that's like saying well if gore converted a mere five more of his attempts from inside the ten. He jumps into the top backs discussion

I agree with this.

Sure, it is possible that he does not find the end zone as often, but it is also possible that he gets 15. I think the Packers will be among the top 3 offensive teams in the league, and Lacy will get more than his fair share of red zone carries.

I will never ever ever ever ever ever own Vincent Jackson. Hes the definition of streaky. I also do not like Bernard much this year.


Having said that, I think you got a solid team there. Drafting Patterson, Randle, Sankey, and Jennings makes up for your third and fourth round blunders.


If I were you I would also try to pick up or trade for Mike Evans. Mike Evans might be the Brandon Marshall to Vincent Jackson's Alshon Jeffery in the sense that Evans will get the majority of the targets where Jackson gets the home run throws.

Rookie wr tend to produce. To each his own

I agree that rookie WRs tend to not produce if that's what you are saying, but I think Mike Evans is going to be the possession guy while Jackson tries to take the top off of the defense. Granted the TB offense does not project to be very good, but I think Evans could have a big rookie year and be more valuable than Jackson by the end of the year.

 

[SteelersPride]

Jackson always has 1000 yards and seven touchdowns u think Evans tops ghat
