Pick 17 discussion

Who do you take? 12 team standard - 2RB, 3WR

You've picked 8th (Ball), the seven before you were the consensus top five RB (Lacy being the 5th), Peyton and Jimmy. The eight following you will most likely be, in no particular order, Rodgers and Brees, Lynch, Calvin, DT, Dez, Marshall and the eighth most likely Murray or Green....

If I'm wrong on the eight following, would any of those listed be your pick?
Let's chat... my money league's a brewin'!

Would have been more comfortable taking a top WR than reaching on Ball. Hard to say but I could see Lynch, Marshall and Murray not being in those picks. If Megatron, DT, Dez or AJG fall I would snatch them up. Way to early to take a QB. So if all the top WR's go and you are not a Alshon fan I would go back to the RB position.

Well knowing you there is no way Murray gets past your RB drafting ass! BTW, that's probably who I'm taking there too. If you take the RB though, you're looking at (more than likely) VJax, Andre, Cruz or maybe Cobb as your WR1.................with that said that's what I'd do (and pretty much did already). Good luck TK.

I would take Gio over Marshall, the QBs and maybe Green too. But aside from that, my pick would likely come from that group.

Starting 3 WR's vs 2 RB's, I think you almost have to spring for one of top 10 WR's. .... no to QB.

 

[TKOSpikes]

You guys know me, ain't no QB coming here until late... just put their names in because I think they'll go behind me...

If Murray and Lynch go, I was hoping someone had a Gio vote (thanks tlance). I usually am a heavy WR taker, but I just don't like the draft slot for RB findings in 5 and 6, so I'll be doing the mix matching this year at WR. More than likely going RB strong, but wanted to gather thoughts on the top WR's vs Murray/Lynch/Gio ...

I'm praying Nelson gets to me in the 3rd, but that is probably highly unlikely.

 

[TK21775]

I've been targeting Julio in that spot

 

[Bandit]

From what I've seen so far in standard drafts, there is no chance Nelson is falling to you in the 3rd. I haven't even seen him make it the 3rd in any 2RB 3WR draft. I know you love running backs. Here's my opinion and remember this is coming from a guy that went RB, RB, RB in a standard draft last week. The only wide receivers I would be willing to take in the 2nd are Megatron, Dez, DT, A.J. Green, Julio Jones and Brandon Marshall. If one of them is there I would draft them, if none of them are, I would go best running back available (probably Murray or Gio).

 

[TKOSpikes]

I think you're right about Nelson, Bandit.

 

[SteelersPride]

julio

 

[TKOSpikes]

For any Julio votes, know I would take Jordy Nelson over him.

 

[SteelersPride]

not me i love me some julio

 

[TKOSpikes]

Well, I pegged it right... the eighth was AJG.

I went with DeMarco, after heavy thought of Giovani... two week 4 byes would have been dangerous though.

 

[SteelersPride]

nice call IMHO

Sweet.............Ball and Murray will be a more than solid start. Now what's next? BTW, is this a slow draft?

 

[TKOSpikes]

First round was slow (and draft slot selection)... we're moving now.

Gore fell to the 3rd.. you know me!
Rowdy Roddy in the 4th..
DJax in the 5th.. (not loving it, but the deep ball is there)

Here comes the Hyde pick!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol.............what WR's were there for you instead of Gore?

 

[TKOSpikes]

Fitz, Crabby, Allen, Roddy, Garcon ...etc.

Final Roster

QB -- Russell Wilson (9), Ryan Tannehill (14)
RB -- Montee Ball (1), DeMarco Murray (2), Frank Gore (3), Carlos Hyde (10), Steven Jackson (8)
WR -- Roddy White (4), DJax (5), Torrey Smith (6), Malcolm Floyd (11), Rueben Randle (12), Jermaine Kearse (15)
TE -- Zach Ertz (7), Marcedes Lewis (13)
DST -- Steelers (16) ...Cle, @Bal, @Car, TB, @Jax, @Cle, Hou (not a bad first 7 weeks)
K -- (17) waiting... four more picks to go! (and will stream anyway)

Loved getting Wilson in the 9th. Almost picked him in the 8th, but grabbed SJax there, as a wild card shot. A little early on Ertz, but some went early (we can use TE in any WR spot). Not use to the boom or bust type receivers, but also don't mind. Randle was my "panic" pick, with 3 seconds left. (Heath went right before my pick).

If all goes well, I have four starting RB's on four good teams, and I should be able to wheel and deal.
