RJ infatuation
Re: RJ infatuation
None of those guys listed had significant draft capital invested into them either. All late round picks or udfa who fell into opportunity. This seems different to me

Re: RJ infatuation
I'm not comparing them to Jones as much as I am Barber, but I don't think much of either RB regardless. If I was forced to, I'd probably pay the price for Barber than spend the draft capital on Jones.

Re: RJ infatuation
It's a catch-22. I don't think much of him but I value Barber as an early 4th because I think Jones is garbage. Jones owners are drafting him 1.03/1.04 because they think Barber is garbage.

...You don't draft a running back early because you think the current UDFA running back is garbage...
You draft a running back early because you believe he is good.

Re: RJ infatuation
tell that to Penny, Freeman and Jones owners. All took massive jumps in ADP due to situation. I think Chase Edmonds is good but I'm not going to draft him early in any league.

Re: RJ infatuation
I disagree with this. Barber’s trade value has probably increased. I don’t think anybody genuinely believed that TB was going to avoid RB for the entire draft, and the few people who might have believed that are the guys who really believe in Barber already.thebeast wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 9:33 am The time to sel Barber was before Rojo was drafted by the Bucs. Sure you can hold him and hope Rojo gets injured and you can sell him for more, or you can take a shot with another 5th round pick and hope they turn into more than a backup RB, which is Barbers long term future.
The most likely scenarios before the draft involved Tampa adding someone much less polarizing, like Guice, Chubb, Michel, Penny, or Johnson. Adding Jones, who has tons of haters, means there’s probably someone in your league who hates Jones enough to bet against him by paying for Barber.
If you’re looking to trade Barber now, the guy who spent an early pick on Jones and therefore proved he believes in Barber’s competition is the last place I’d look.

They were already 1st round rookie picks prior to the draft, now they have the draft capital to back it up. Not sure what you are trying to get at or that your point is even valid. Edmonds was never a first round rookie pick.Krypto_King wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 7:32 pmtell that to Penny, Freeman and Jones owners. All took massive jumps in ADP due to situation.

Re: RJ infatuation
The only reason I'd hold consider holding onto Peyton Barber in dynasty is due to the hamstring injury Ronald Jones ACL. There are other instances where players were injured training for or while running drills for the combine, and these injuries flared up again during training camp and/or the preseason. I can't remember the exact info but this was per Stephania Bell.

You said we draft running backs early because we think they are good, I proved you wrong. That was my point. We draft running backs early because we think they will score us fantasy points or provide trade value.
Re: RJ infatuation
... You did not prove anything at all. You literally responded to my opinion with yours.
You are now contradicting your own argument. You said running backs get inflated due to opportunity yet in your same breath you mention that they were projected first round rookie picks because we were predicting high draft capital.. Which high draft capital directly translates to them being good. You are literally bordering idiotic with your argument..

Re: RJ infatuation
How did you prove him wrong? Are you saying you draft rb's you think are bad? Aren't fantasy points and trade value part of what makes us think of an rb as good?Krypto_King wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 10:32 amThey were 1st round rookie picks because we expected them to have draft capital...Phaded wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 4:02 amThey were already 1st round rookie picks prior to the draft, now they have the draft capital to back it up.

We draft RBs to play tennis and eat cheeseburgers
Re: RJ infatuation
Can someone explain to me when RoJo became the most polarizing rookie RB? Was it during the pre-draft process? Regardless of what I think of him as a prospect, it seems like most of the draft guys were pretty high on him:
Daniel Jeremiah: RB4, #29 overall
Dane Brugler: RB3, #22 overall
Matt Miller: RB4, #43 overall
Lance Zierlein: RB3, #25 overall
Eric Galko: RB2, #8 overall
Jonah Tuls: RB2, #21 overall
During the draft season he was my clear cut RB3 with a top 25 grade overall and I really don't understand why the dynasty community seems to be so down on him and pushing an odd narrative.

Re: RJ infatuation
I'm sure his negative combine experience hurt his stock for a lot of people. His tape looks good, though, so other people are still going to defend what they see with their eyes.Chwf3rd wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 3:36 pm Can someone explain to me when RoJo became the most polarizing rookie RB?

I have RoJo as my #3, so the tape is more important to me, but I get it.
