Title: 1.09 and 2.02 picks
Post by piglet on Sep 1^st, 2002, 9:49am

6 point all td.s and ydg league. faulk,warner,green,alexander, williams,manning,moss and garcia will likely be taken. I am thinking Holmes 1.09 and Culpepper 2.02. team 7 will draft C-pepp in the 2nd round if I don't giving him a hook up with Moss. What would you do?

I agree with you in the first, piglet. I, too, would take Priest Holmes. With your second pick, though, I would take Terrell Owens or Marvin Harrison if they make it back around. QB's are deep and you can get a goodie later (no new, groundbreaking philosophy/advice there :-[ ). If Owens and Harrison are gone and your league awards more for rushing touchdowns and yardage vis-a-vis passing TD's and yards, I would seriously consider taking Culpepper. However, I also might consider guys like Curtis Martin or Corey Dillon. Actually, given your sitch, at least two of the guys I mentioned, Owens, Harrison, Martin and/or Dillon will be available when you pick in the second. So, no, I guess I would not be thinking Culpepper afterall. But, agreed, he would be the next best QB. I just think valuewise, you have to look elsewhere in the second! Think about grabbing QB's like Brad Johnson, Brian Griese, Vinny Testaverde, Jake Plummer, Tim Couch, Rich Gannon, Drew Bledsoe or whomever you like, roughly in that range, in the fourth or fifth rounds and pair that pick up with a Michael Vick somewhere in the sixth through ninth rounds. You'd be stylin' then! 8)

Thanks much for the input. A lot of food for thought there. I have Griese and Bledsoe in the back of my mind if I do not take Cpep.

I can never justify taking a QB (other than Warner/Garcia) when there are top 10 RB's on the board. Go with Holmes, and look for Dillon/A-Train/CuMar with that second pick. Terrell Owens or Harrison would also be good there. I wouldn't take Culp. Bennett still hasn't proven anything, no reason to believe that O-line is significantly better, and Derrick "I strained my vagina in warmups" Alexander is not an improvement over Cry-Baby-Carter. He's still top 5 on my board but he's not anywhere close to Garcia/Warner.
