bmags Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 12 team, I've never made the playoffs in this league. I've never had a good draft. I fell on the bad side of a TE run (also 4 TEs were keepers) QB-Foles WR- Cobb WR - Victor Cruz RB - Adrian Peterson RB - Lamar Miller TE - Cook/Graham (not two TEs, just not sure which to start) Flex - TY Hilton Bench - Hyde, Watkins, Jeremy Hill, McFadden, RGIII K- Prater (autodrafted, sigh) DEF - STL D - Patrick Peterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Foles seems like a guy that is falling through the cracks. Too many people think last year was a fluke and now no DeSean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah I think that offense will make the personnel, and really believe in Jordan Matthews. College to pros leaps sometimes don't make sense, but he was literally the only passing offense Vanderbilt had and would still get open at will in the SEC.

bmags Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Cobb @ 18. Peterson was a 1st round keeper. Also: our keepers are not if you keep 2 you lose your first 2 rounds. you only lose the round you drafted them in which accelerates each year. So Cobb @ 18 isn't necessarily the 18th player taken.

I'm really high on Lamar Miller in that new offense. I have huge reservations about Austin performing on that team, but I may be way off. He may be the deep threat Hill connects with.

Tavon Austin, from what ive seen, is a guy that's not even getting drafted. Not sure how much value you have there with Shaun Hill at QB in St. Louis now. Fred Jackson and Lamar Miller are pretty much even to me, difference being Fred Jackson will have to fight off CJ Spiller and Bryce Brown while Lamar Miller only has to deal with Knowshon Moreno. Outside of last season, Moreno hasnt been that great of a back so I would prolly stick with Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 08:49 AM) Brady's WRs had the 2nd most drops in the NFL last year behind Stafford. Also, 7 times, his WRs were tackled at the 1 yard line. Also no Gronk. Resisting temptation. Don't. Has a great chance to have the best season outside the top 3. In addition to what you said above, he was the #3 QB when Vereen was in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 horrible draft. waited too long on the top RBs in an auction draft and ended up grabbing murray and a bunch of third tier RBs in hopes that a couple hit. and then later rounds missed my nomination turn and got stuck with yahoo defaulting a kicker and IDP leaving me with $5 on the table that I planned on spending towards another WR3/4 (guys like decker and sanders were still available, that hurts)... 10 team standard scoring, think I stand a chance? To me it's looking like a 6th/7th place type of team... QB - Foles RB - Murray RB - Bush/J. Bell WR - Jeffrey WR - Brown Flex - VJax TE - Davis DEF - SF Bench WR - Floyd RB - Richardson RB - Tate RB - CJ2K RB - Vereen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go back to the Brady discussion, the addition of Tim Wright could be huge for Brady. If they stay healthy, and Wright gets utilized like Hernandez, then a Gronk, Wright, Vereen, Edleman, LaFell etc. is a solid group to throw to....But then again health is of course a concern.

Middle Buffalo Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Had a draft last night. Started an hour late because a guy was traveling for work. I'm ok with that. But what's with guys taking three minutes to take a pick? It literally takes me fifteen seconds. Narrow your options as your turn approaches. Eliminate names as they're picked and make your choice immediately. It's not a life/death decision. Draft took almost 3.5 hours - plus the hour delay. Oh, and ther were a few of us doing it online while the rest gathered at a friend's house. I logged into the draft room twenty minutes before he draft. Five hours total time spent.

Jake Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 All I know about my Soxtalk 12-team league so far is that my keepers will allow me to get Jamaal Charles and Brandon Marshall with the 11th pick in the 1st and 2nd rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
