And if our MBBRL D2 draft for 2016 was any indication, the first 12 RB were assembled in the first 33 picks! (18 WR were taken, 2 QB and 1 TE.)
Ha, a fact that was not lost on me, thanks Joe. But everyone surely knows, and if they don't, they may as wellAre you giving me homework?
How about this point of reference instead:
Do you se a trend here?
- Again, going back to our MBBRL KOTF drafts, in 2013 all 12 RB were drafted within the first 16 picks. (The other 4 were 3 WR and 1 QB.)
- In 2014, all 12 RB were drafted in the first 18 picks. (The other 6 were 5 WR and 1 TE not named Gronk.)
- In 2015, the 12 RB were finally assembled in the first 25 picks! (The others were 10 WR, 2 QB and 1 TE.)
For the record, I never mentioned your name above.
I'm not sure the dynasty can be an indication, at leat not for redrafts this year. Quite a few of those guys who "deserve" to go early in a redraft at RB, are getting up there in age/milage for a high pick in dynasty. AP, Charles, Shady, (not to mention Lynch's retirement)..if they were 25, 26..they'd have been first/early second round guys.
It's a double-edged sword IMO.
Having 3 WR starting slots in a 16 team PPR league certainly upped the value of drafting WRs early and often. Even with the number of WRs in the NFL , some teams found themselves scrambling to fill all 3 slots with a decent WR. Don't think you can use this league as a "typical" league. Don't think I've been in a league where the talent is spread so thin overall. Going to make for a very interesting league. Can't wait to see how things play out.
Its funny, cuz I was just about the opposite. I thought it was easier to do the WR's, since after the top 4/5/6 guys, the next dozen or so are very close together, so even assuming a normal, full 16 game season for them, it isn't a stretch to think any set of six guys could be #'s 6-12, and any other set of 6 guys could be #'s 13-18. I had issues with the runners. Not necessarily assuming 6 might not make it, that part had quite a few easy targets, but, when you assume someone won't be a top 12 guy, the next step is, who is going to take his place and be that top 12 guy? And after those 12, there's maybe 3 that barring anything unforeseen, wouldn't be a big stretch to assume they could do it. But to find 3 me that have a reasonable chance of supplanting one of the big name guys, without assuming injuries, or otherwise unforseen circumstances helping to lift someone not already in the discussion, into it? That part was difficult for me. I can't say I think Lamaar Miller won't be too 12, without also finding a guy who will take his place, ya know?
So just how confident are you about the Jets WRs without Fitz being signed and Marshall being 32? How confident are you with the Broncos WRs with Sanchez looking like the starting QB? How confident are you in Jordy Nelson bouncing back from a major injury at age 31? What is Dez value if Romo goes down again? The questions at WRs are many, not only do you have to hope they stay healthy, but you got to hope their QB stays healthy and is actually a decent QB
Fitz isn't great, I'd say just OK. So how good can his backups be ? Or most any backup for that matter. If a team is heading into a season, forced to start their backup that's not good.
Change the word should to could and we would be in agreement.
