The reach picks he made with almost every pick were absolutely ludicrous. It will take a minor miracle for his team to finish anything but last, yet this guy is considered an expert?

1st 7 picks - 5 WRs, Ben Tate and Bernard Pierce.

Either the numbers guy really knows something we don't or he was pretty cocked when he drafted.

The guy who wrote it isn't much better. . He begins his critique with"...RB's are the most irreplaceable. ..", takes Murray and follows it up with 4 WR's before taking Ridley as his RB2..then a QB and a TE..Blount, another WR, Bennie Cunningham, another QB, and Ivory. .

So a guy who proclaims RB to be irreplaceable goes into a season with Murray, Ridley, Blount, Cunningham and Ivory??

yea, I was reading through this draft at work today, non-stop reach fest going on here.
Anyone who takes Demaryius #2 overall needs to lay off the crack pipe. Especially with a couple of top notch RBs that make a lot of catches every year (Forte/Charles/AP were still on the board)

Is it me or do most "fantasy experts" suck? I don't know how any "experts" at espn got their job outside of Matthew berry. I think there is more knowledge on here than there is on yahoo and espn put together.

I got to give him credit for drafting Russell Wilson in the 12th round.

I feel much better about all of my teams after reading it. Salifino's best pick was Russell Wilson in round 12. Wow.

It's almost like they're INTENTIONALLY reaching so if/when any of these guys hit, they can say that they drafted them.

Didn't think anything could make me feel good about ending up with Sankey and Tate as my top two RBs

That could be it, but D. Thomas, Floyd and Patterson as your first 3 picks in the top 30? I like those players, but the crazy thing is that he does not even really have an advantage at WR after investing his first 4 picks in them.

The only think I can think of is the guy was using heroin, cocaine, acid, marijuana, speed, extasy, crack, shrooms, and meth at the same time after drinking a handle of vodka and after suffering a concussion from repeated hits to the head with a baseball bat.

 

[wilwhite]

That looks pretty awful to me. I could theoretically let him slide on reaching for those WRs and taking four WRs out of his top five picks - maybe he really thinks those four WRs will be the top producers by a wide margin in their format, if he didn't take them where he did he would have missed them, and he can start all four.

But he took his fifth WR in the sixth round and can't start him and there's no rankings or strategy on earth for that one. Only needing to start two WRs if you want, it's not possible to corner the market on WRs for trade purposes.

One thing I notice about fantasy "experts" is each one tries desperately do differentiate from the pack by overselling their sleeper picks or trying to find that years breakout guy. Like this guy taking Thomas number 2, probably doesn't think he's number 2 but wants so badly for him to have a great season so he can say "I told you so" and act like he knew something other people didn't.
