In my recent startup draft, Aromas got picked after Benn did, but before Golden Tate & Hardesty got picked. I wouldn't hold my breath for him to show up at 2.4, but if he does, more power to you! There's 2 schools of thoughts on Doucet: 1) Those who think he will overtake Breaston this year &...

If you notice this draft (The DLF Invitational IV): http://football16.myfantasyleague.com/2010/options?L=67505&O=17 2.02: Matthews 2.12: Best 3.04: Dez 4.01: Pierre Thomas 5.03: Spiller 5.02: Damaryius 5.12: Ben Tate 6.11: Hardesty So either the Cleveland Corsairs did a major reach for Pierre, o...

I would counter him with your 1.6 for PT straight up. 1.6 equals ben tate or damayrius thomas. In my startup draft, both of those players got chosen before PT did. I mightve taken them at 5.12 if they fell to me, but they got scooped so I ended up with PT. I do think his value goes up though with ne...

I think you'd be crazy.

Look at any startup draft (like the DLF IV invitational) and look where Matthews, Dez, and PT are going.

I just got PT with the 5.12 pick in a startup dynasty draft, I feel that was a score, as he has 4th round value, but I'd trade him in a second for matthews.

I wonder how many of those Gerhart owners also own AP, how many of the Dixon owners own Gore, etc etc. There were a couple of times in my startup draft where I considered Dixon & Starks, but I pulled up all the previous years worth of NFL drafts, and the success ratio for 6th & 7th round run...

Wow nuts! Great job on your part.

It's hard to imagine that someone would relinquish their rights to Demaryius & Golden just to grab Jimmy Clausen?!?!

I guess that's the beauty (or ugliness) of a 2QB league.

I like whitehurst. I'd honestly draft him even before Campbell or Leinart. Come to think of it, in our recent startup draft, he got taken before both of those guys. There's 2 ways to view Whitehurst: A) he hasn't proven that he's any good B) he hasn't proven that he sucks donkey balls So is your gla...

So here's how I would analyze it: Your 1.3 pick nets either Dez or Matthews, who go in the 2nd round of startup dynasty drafts. Your 1.9 pick nets someone like Tate, Tate, Benn, Hardesty, etc. Let's say on average, they're going in the 6th round of startup drafts (some go in the 5th, some go in the ...

It would take a lot more than a 2.3 pick to get me to drop down from 1.3 to 1.9. BUT, in a 2QB draft where bradford & clausen are expected to go high, the 1.9 pick has a lot of value to it. Especially if you need a WR, because you'll still get a choice of the demaryius/benn/golden 3some. If they...

A sneaky option is to assume that Derek Anderson sucks, and grab Leinart, then then deep into the draft, pick up John Skelton. If Leinart blows, I think Skelton will become the future of the franchise. I just picked him up in the last 3 rounds of a startup dynasty draft. Supposed to be very similar ...

Everyone bought into the concerns about Deangelo's & Wayne's age, and Stewart taking over, and Wayne becoming more of a Colston type player (1 of many options). I could've taken Wayne at 3.12, and I almost did, but ended up grabbing my 1st RB (If I didn't get Andre with my 1st pick, I would've g...

We just finished a startup dynasty ppr draft consisting of very experienced members. Very interesting to see the difference in drafting strategies from 1 league to another. One of our guys SCORED big time with 1st 4 picks: 1.11 Rodgers 2.2 Mendenhall 3.11 Deangelo 4.2 Wayne. How's that for a startin...

No, that's a horrible deal! Hit the decline button immediately!!!!! 1.5 will (at worst) get you Ben Tate. Some people like Tate more than Spiller or Best, so there's a chance you could land 1 of them. 1.7 will then get you either Arrelious Benn, Demaryuis Thomas, or Golden Tate. However you rank tho...

I liked Gartrell Johnson last preseason when he was with The Chargers.

He went undrafted in our startup draft. Waiver wires are now locked until the football season starts.

I thought about taking him, but that's a pretty bad mess of RBs in New York. Who knows who's gonna get the opportunity there.

Sweet, good to see others on the Mitchell bandwagon. In a recent startup dynasty draft, I came away with Golden Tate, Taylor Price, & Carlton Mitchell. I took them all over Mardy Gilyard. I might have to wait a little bit on Price, but that's ok, I have Randy Moss keeping his seat warm for him. ...
