Julio or Gronk at 1.01

Postby Bot101 » Mon Aug 24, 2015 4:59 pm

This is in relation to a thread I created in the Dynasty League Question forum. I asked about different rankings for a keeper league vs a dynasty league. I mentioned my plan was to take Julio Jones #1 overall, but a couple of you fine gentlemen mentioned that Gronk is the better choice to take at the 1.01 spot. I want to make a poll on this to get as many opinions as possible before saturdays start up draft. Here are my league settings for context:


10 man PPR
1 QB
2 WR
2 RB
1 TE
1 Flex
10 Bench

I have the 1.01 in the upcoming keep 7 startup. Who do I take?

21 views and 1 vote? Is it too hard to pick? :whistle:

They both have an injury history. But I'd roll with Julio

Since there isn't a choice for "neither" I'm taking Julio. But personally, with as few bellcow RBs as there are these days, I'd take one of them. Bell or Lacy would be my 1 and 2.

Give me Julio, and know that there will more players available (so you can have a shot at a better rb than if it were 12+ teams)

Interesting results so far. Id like to have as many votes as possible. If your answer is "bell cow RB" than say so in your comment.

Too easy. Julio is a top 5 pick. Nothing against Gronk but to me he is an early second round pick. Give me Dez, Brown, Thomas and Julio all before a "bellcow" rb anyday :mrgreen:

I'm going to be "that guy" and take Andrew Luck. Bell would be my 2nd choice.

I traded my 1.01 pick and now I am picking from the 1.03. The guy who has the #1 overall now is planning on taking Luck. I feel much better about taking Julio or Gronk.

I'm not sure if either of them would absolutely be my choice, but if those WERE my only two choices, give me Julio. And I'm a Gronk owner.

I see no reason to be taking any RB in the 1st round

And the positional advantage Gronk over other TEs is overblown

I would take about 6 WRs before Gronk came into the picture, with Julio near the top.

TEAM 2
12 Team - 26 Roster - .5 PPR - 1QB 2RB 2WR 1TE 1FX

Totally agree. Had him last year and he was great but would still rather draft Julio, Brown or Dez

Trade back even further. Two picks at the end of the first and beginning of the second is where the value is at IMO.
