Need draft help
« on: Aug 31st, 2005, 7:31am »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
Ok guys, need some advice. Draft is tonight.
10th pick in a 12 team league, standard scoring.
 
I am wondering if with my first pick I should take the best avail RB or take the #1 WR (should be avail). If I take the WR, my next pick would be an RB, there would still be some decent ones left.
If I were to take the WR, should I take Moss or Owens?
 
Then there is another option I am thinking about..going by years past, if I take Moss with the 10th pick, Owens may still be available when it gets back to me. Should I take 2 stud WR and get whatever RBs I can get further down (3 rookies all look good and I should be able to grab at least 1).
 
 
Last, should I throw everything I've been taught out the window and get a QB early..meaning if I get Moss with pick 1, should I grab Manning or Culpepper with pick 2? Then I would still have less than stellar RBs, but would have a top WR and a top QB.
 
This is my 3rd year doing this, I've done fairly well the past 2 years, but my picks were always in the middle of the pack. Having 2 picks so close together gives me a different outlook. Any help would be appreciated.

I would stay away from the WR-WR draft, abnd lean more towards the RB-RB or WR-RB. If MOss is available, grab him, otherwise go RB then get Owens in round 2

I've already had a draft where I picked 10th out of 12.  It was a very nice spot to draft because I went old-school and picked up a couple RBs right off the bat (Willis McGahee at 10 and Rudi Johnson at 15).
 
If there are still solid RBs available for you, I'd recommend getting a couple good ones right away.

I think you are in a perfect spot.  I personally think you gotta go RB/RB.  In my mind, there are 15 quality RBs.  You will get two of them.
 
The only exception to this strategy is if you can get Manning.  I would take him.

I agree with the RB/RB philosophy.  The only way you would deviate from that is if P. Manning is still there, which he won't be.  You can get plenty of WR's when it swings back to you.

This was the CBFL league on this website.  Here's my complete draft with round number:
 
1.  RB Willis McGahee - Bills
2.  RB Rudi Johnson - Bengals
3.  WR Joe Horn - Saints
4.  RB Warrick Dunn - Falcons
5.  WR Ashley Lelie - Broncos
6.  WR Jerry Porter - Raiders
7.  D/ST Carolina Panthers
8.  QB Jake Delhomme - Panthers
9.  QB David Carr - Texans
10.  RB Reuben Droughns - Browns
11.  WR Brandon Stokley - Colts
12.  TE L.J. Smith - Eagles
13.  QB Kyle Boller - Ravens
14.  PK Lawrence Tynes - Chiefs
15.  PK Josh Scobee - Jaguars
16.  TE Matt Schobel - Bengals
 
Note: I took a defense a bit earlier than I normally do because they are extremely valuable in this league.  If you waited another couple rounds for a defense, then your 4th WR or 4th RB or 1st QB might be even better.
