Re: What if the 2011 Rookie Draft were held today?
honestly I don\t think much has changed, we all did pretty good. cam newton goes a bit higher, 5 range. thats the only change I make, the top 3 was always a jumble IMO i liked aj most if it means anything then ingram
QB - DWatson(HOU)Minshew(JAX)Darnold(NYJ)
RB -NChubb(CLE)DHenry(TEN)JTaylor(IND)Gurley(ATL)
WR -DHopkins(ARI)ACooper(DAL)CGodwin(TB)OBJ(CLE)
TE - HHenry(SD)DGoeddart(PHI)
K - Zurlien(LAR)Crosby(GB)
Def - ARI DAL
[rookie] Haskins(WAS)DSwift(DET)Jefferson(MIN)MHardman(KC)
7th pick in 2021
Rosters must always be 3qbs 4wrs 4rbs 2tes 2kickers 2dst and protected players don't take up a roster spot, but are only for rookie/2nd-year players that were drafted

Re: What if the 2011 Rookie Draft were held today?
I don't know how ANYONE would not take Cam at least 4th at the absolute latest. 5 range? Who would you take 4th ahead of him? We're a third of the way through the NFL season and the only QB who has better fantasy stats is Aaron Rodgers, and that's by a slim margin. I realize it's dynasty and all, blah blah blah, but top QBs are worth a lot. Even if he comes back down to earth a bit, he's solidified himself as a tier 2, 4-6 range fantasy QB at the very WORST.
My top 10 would be:
1 AJ Green
2 Cam Newton (and it's a tough decision between Newton and Green at the top)
3 Julio Jones
4 Ingram
5 Kendall Hunter (and let me tell you, I'm not far from preferring him over Ingram)
6 Daniel Thomas
7 Greg Little (might put him 6 over Thomas very soon, we'll see)
8 Randall Cobb (I play in a return yardage league)
9 Delone Carter
10 One of Ridley/Titus Young/Torrey Smith/Jacquizz Rodgers, not sure.

Re: What if the 2011 Rookie Draft were held today?
This is an interesting question, here's what I think:
1) Green- this guy has a rookie throwing to him and he's putting up crazy numbers.. man he is going to be a top-5 stud.
2) Newton- also going to be a stud, I don't think it's all that close though.
3) Julio-
4) Ingram- very close with Julio, I just think based on what we see now they still don't trust Ingram to carry the load.
5) Thomas
6) Hunter
7) Little
8) Carter
9) Young
10) Ridley
11) Torrey Smith
12) Jacquizz/ Dalton

Re: What if the 2011 Rookie Draft were held today?
For me, it would be:
Tier One: Green
Tier Two: Julio/Ingram
Tier Three: Cam/Little
Tier Four: Hunter/Carter/Thomas
(at this point I'd be trying to trade straight up for a 2012 1st)
Tier Five: Ridley/Smith
Tier One: Green
Tier Two: Julio/Ingram
Tier Three: Cam/Little
Tier Four: Hunter/Carter/Thomas
(at this point I'd be trying to trade straight up for a 2012 1st)
Tier Five: Ridley/Smith

Re: What if the 2011 Rookie Draft were held today?
Have to agree with Brady...plus, the QB's were forced into action and they have done well despite no OTA's - gotta give props a bit there! I got AJ, Little and Hunter in my 'alpha' league (signature) and I am very happy!BradyT wrote:#1 A.J. Green (this has absoltey not changed.. if anything, its becoming more obvious.. unfortunately..

Re: What if the 2011 Rookie Draft were held today?
1.1 AJ Green - Through 5 games is making a case that he belongs among the elite WRs in football.
1.2 Cam Newton - If I used any number of names of QBs who aren't even in the elite of the league (Stafford, Ryan, Freeman...) where would these guys fall? At the very least Newton has earned that much respect even from his doubters. I can't see him falling out of the top 5 in a draft at the very lowest.
1.3 Julio Jones - There are a couple of guys I would be tempted to take in front of Jones, but he is posting numbers proving why he has been selected in the top 3 of this class in nearly every dynasty draft.
1.4 Mark Ingram - This is where controversy begins for me as Ingram hasn't played up to showing himself to be the #1 RB from this class. Over the long haul, I still expect that he should be and probably show that this is too low.
1.5 Kendall Hunter - Looks great every time he gets the football. If you have been waiting for the guy who will take over for Gore thinking it was Coffee and then Dixon...here is your man.
1.6 Greg Little - My gut tells me I should have him at #3 ahead of Julio, Ingram and Hunter. I had him going as early as #4 but I have seen enough from Newton and Hunter that moving him here seemed a logical decision. If we revisit this in another 5 weeks I doubt I would have him this low.
1.7 Delone Carter - He could get the opportunity to establish himself at this spot this week with Addai out.
1.8 Daniel Thomas - I hate this pick, but he is the most deserving.
I'll stop here because I think the rest are going to be completely subjective and not based on anything we have seen.
