I don't like it as much since am nervous on Charles and S Rice underperforming this year. That siad, like the overall depth at the positions - all the RB's and WR's have good shots to be legit starters. Love Rom/Big Ben QB!
Personally...from 5 spot in 12 team non PPR...I like Gore/R White/Wells (or Calvin, Fitz, Austin, Matthews, Moreno if they managed to slip through).
Given good depth at WR/RB on the team, have no issues with takining Vernon 5th. |

I did a mock at Fuzzy's, which is where I will be drafting from the 5 spot. I decided to go with Turner and see what I got. As it turned out, I got him and Austin, and still got Mathews in RD3. I could have had an AndreJ/Benson combo. Do you like that better? Romo went one pick before me in RD3 (really ticked me off) and I didn't think Schaub was value there, but he was gone in RD4, along with Rivers. So I waited for Favre in RD5. He's somewhat risky, but only in the injury sense. I tried to back him up with Big Ben/Palmer, McNabb, but they were gone and then I was left with crappola so I waited until RD13.
Favre
Garrard
Turner
Mathews
Jacobs
Cadillac
Hardesty
Foster
Snelling
Austin
Ocho
Garcon
Floyd
Schillens
Burleson
Winslow
Prater
Eagles

Or Andre J/Benson?

| I was thinking some more about this on my vacation. (I didn't have a chance to mock.) While I like the Turner/Austin combo a bit better, I'm wondering if it might be better to take Andre J in RD1. This is a 12-team league where we start 3 WRs. I'm just speculating that I would get the first WR and that would set off a run on WRs. I'm not sure I would get anyone as good as Austin at 2.08. And I'm a little concerned about the WR depth, now that I've done a few mocks. Seems like there are a bunch of RB bargains RD4-7, but that's when I find the WRs not too appealing. Your thoughts? |

Miles Austin probably wont have as many receptions as AJ but just as many or more TDs and similar yardage. |

Yeah, but like I said, I probably won't get him in RD2 if WRs start going between my picks. I'm wondering about my strategy. Do I make a statement by grabbing the best WR in a WR-dominated league? |

Not sure what you mean by "statement"? Taking AJ at 5 will not likley spur a WR frenzy. He's generally going 5 to 8 anyways in mocks, so it probably won't shock people.
It's a 50-50 shot that Austin will be there, least my experience with doing what must be 25 mocks by now out of 3rd spot-12 teams.
I'm really thinking there is some very good WR value in rounds 4-6. Crabtree, Nicks, Wallace, Maclin, Floyd I like alot as #2 starters. Knox and Garcon are also high on my list say rounds 6-8. TJ, Chambers, Burleson while not having huge upside, could all have very productive season out of rounds 8-10 and could be servicable #3's.
All I know when I get to 6th and am staring at likes of Portis, Caddy, Jacobs, Marnoey (proven track record, but less tread on tires) and Harrison, Forsett, Foster, Bush (high upside, but high risk and not much track rcord) am liking the warm coziness of some of the WR's mentioned (or even a TE like Finely or Zach Miller). Of course on the "full dosclosure" side picing 3 means I get one of the top 4 consensus RB's, so am setting prettier there. |

I just mean that I would be getting the No. 1 WR in a WR-dominated league. It may not start a frenzy, but those who fail to get a WR in the first 2 rounds will be scrambling. I would imagine that at least 6-7 WRs will go between my picks in this format. Then I'm almost into DJax/Jennings/Colston territory.

Yes, but then who is my No. 3 -- a guy I have to start every week? Evans? Britt? I don't want to be getting my 3rd WR in RD8-9.

What I was thinking...is that taking Turner is still a good play at 5 and that you still have a good chance at a top tier WR at round 2 (maybe its not Austin, but maybe Fitz, Calvin, or White).
Was also thinking WR talent for the #3-#4 slot can still be rich in rounds 5-10. I personally don't think the same is true for RB's. |

I have to say I don't agree. First of all, I only have to start 2 RBs, not 3. And with all the RBBCs, there is plenty of RB talent in the middle rounds. I've been getting M Bush, Forsett and Caddy in RD7-8 and Portis in RD9. And who knows where you will be able to get Foster? I now have him as my No. 21 RB, but I noticed that CBS's two dudes have him in the 30s. Might be able to get him in RD7-8, too, and he's going to be a beast on that offense. |

Just more for you bemusement: I was curious what would happen if I was drafting from same spot 5 spot in 3 WR 12 team league, but got a mock with a bunch of boneheads because no way this would happen in your (or any real draft). I got one guy who had drafted his core of peyton, Wayne, B Jacobs, D Driver, H Ward, Portis telling me constantly I knew nothing about football):
- Eli Manning(7), Big Ben(11) (Marshall and Calvin were there in 3rd, I had to bypass Romo, and he was taken in 4th right before me)
- Turner, Moreno(4), Best (5), Harrsion (9)
- Austin, B Marshall(3), Floyd (6), Knox (10), Mike Williams(12)
- Witten 8- (Finely, Z Miller also on board), Miami D(13) Buehler.

I decided to take Andre J in RD1, assuming he isn't taken before me, in which case I'd probably take Rice or MJD. I decided this after studying the mocks for 3-WR leagues in the site where I will be drafting. In one of them, 10 WRs went between 1.05 and 2.08. If I knew I could get Austin at 2.08, I'd probably take Turner at 1.05. Taking Andre J also frees me up to go WR-WR if the value is there, or even take Manning if he lasts. I'm fairly certain I will take a QB by RD3. The top-6 are always gone by the end of RD3, and I'm not sure I want to hitch my wagon to Rivers, Favre, Cutler or Kolb (since I already have Kolb and Big Ben in another league).
Which do you like best?
Andre J/Manning/Charles or Benson or Greene
Andre J/Wayne or Marshall/Romo or Schaub
Andre J/Mathews/Romo or Schaub |
