Help w/ 3.07

Postby hostile » Tue Jul 06, 2010 10:09 am

Hi Guys,

I'm a little stuck here in one of my rookie drafts.

This is a 12 team PPR, start 2QB league of 2QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1K, 1DST

Current roster:

QB Brett Favre, Min
QB Matt Stafford, Det
QB Josh Freeman, TB
QB Matt Moore, Car
QB Sam Bradford, Stl
RB Jonathan Stewart, Car
RB Felix Jones, Dal
RB LeSean McCoy, Phi
RB Laurence Maroney, NE
RB Javon Ringer, Ten
RB Mike Goodson, Car
RB Brian Westbrook, UFA
RB LenDale White, UFA
WR Randy Moss, NE
WR Reggie Wayne, Ind
WR Greg Jennings, GB
WR Laurent Robinson, Stl
WR James Jones, GB
WR Jacoby Jones, Hou
WR Legedu Naanee, SD
-- empty roster spot --
TE Vernon Davis, SF
TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Min
K John Carpenter, Mia
DST San Diego
DST Denver


Players taken:

1.01 Ryan Mathews, RB, SD
1.02 Javid Best, RB, Det
1.03 Dez Bryant, WR, Dal
1.04 CJ Spiller, RB, Buf
1.05 Montario Hardesty, RB, Cle
1.06 Ben Tate, RB, Hou
1.07 Sam Bradford, QB, Stl
1.08 Jim Clausen, QB, Car
1.09 Demaryius Thomas, WR, Den
1.10 Dexter McCluster, WR/RB, KC
1.11 Charlie Whitehurst, QB, Sea
1.12 Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Pit
2.01 Arrelious Benn, WR, TB
2.02 Jermaine Gresham, TE, Cin
2.03 Golden Tate, WR, Sea
2.04 John Skelton, QB, Az
2.05 Toby Gerhart, RB, Min
2.06 Brandon LaFell, WR, Car
2.07 Tim Tebow, QB, Den
2.08 Mike Williams, WR, TB
2.09 Damian Williams, WR, Ten
2.10 Colt McCoy, QB, Cle
2.11 Anthony Dixon, RB, SF
2.12 Andre Roberts, WR, Ari
3.01 Taylor Price, WR, NE
3.02 Mardy Gilyard, WR, Stl
3.03 Rob Gronkowski, TE, NE
3.04 Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Pit
3.05 James Starks, RB, GB
3.06 Jordan Shipley, WR, Cin


FA's currently available:

Early Doucet
Deion Butler
Brian Hartline
Harry Douglas
Sammy Stroughter
Jerheme Urban



There have been some real reaches which have kind of boned my draft, and also the fact I traded away my 2nd round pick last year (would have been Mike Williams!! #$%^@!)

I'm currently debating: Doucet, Decker, Hernandez, Graham, Edwards.

I have been trying to roster Hernandez in nearly every league and I'd really like to take him here, but my WR depth is lacking. I think Doucet or Decker should be the picks here. J Graham is available too, but I like Hernandez a little more. Decker has a clearer path to starting, but Doucet has shown some talent.

I am targeting either Charles Scott or Shawbrey McNeal in the 4th (final round).

Thoughts?

Doucet hands down for me.

I really liked what I saw from him the playoffs last year. I think he can definitely fill Q's role in that offense, leaving Breaston in the slot where he belongs. I know that the prospect of Lienart/DA starting scares some people off but I think he'll be ok.

Hernandez is a thought but with Vernon in your lineup, he'd be more of a luxury pick,imo.
Doucet could easily help out your team this year.

Given your roster I really like Jimmy Graham there. Toss up between him and Doucet

I'd probably go Doucet this round, though I can see Decker as well...

in the 4th round, I'd consider one of the rookie TEs over the rookie RBs you listed, though Scott may have some upside.

I seriously do NOT know wth I'm going to do with Westy and FatDale.

Cut Westy? Is he this year's Shaun Alexander?

Cut or keep LenDale? He's young, but I dont think he's going to "get it". I can see him selling cell phones soon with Tatum Bell...

I'd probably cut White first, and Westy as soon as you need another roster spot. -oo-

If it were me, I'd cut them both, and wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Draft Doucet. Hold on to Lendale.

I agree with this, and I'd say feel free to cut Westbrook.

Thanks, guys.

I picked up "Douce" and I'll see what falls to me at 4.07.

Thankfully the waiver wire usually has some deeper stashes available b/c of the short(er) benches.

I think b/c he is still young, and still has something to offer if he gets his head on right. A team hit hard by injuries in their backfield could come calling...

I don't like what he said after the Hawks cut him. I suspect neither will the other teams; he still just doesn't get it.

I prefer to use that roster spot to take a prospect rather than waste it on a player I "personally" don't think will ever crack my lineup. I'm not going to waste a space on him going forward, until I hear a different tune coming out of his mouth and he has a team to call home. It is CFL or the arena league for him now. Just my opinion and I do understand yours too.
