swirvenirvin 25 Posted August 19, 2009 So in my 2 re-drafts I am drafting at 10 and 12th, but I'm not sure I would even take S. Jackson if he fell to me there. I think the Rams are going to be a mess yet again. I don't if you would want to take him in the first round Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zackattack 0 Posted August 19, 2009 When is the last time he has played a full season tho Thats very true. He is a top3-5 producer based on points per game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swirvenirvin 25 Posted August 19, 2009 How long are we giving for a pick? Just wondering if there is a limit. would like to see a pick within an hour or two but we know that is not always possible.

swirvenirvin 25 Posted August 19, 2009 Was thinking about really reaching for another player here, but took Calvin so have the Johnson brothers. Had them and Slaton last year in one league, and didn't even make it the playoffs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffkomlo 19 Posted August 19, 2009 Some draft drama this year huh? So...... OK to grab Gore for Riddlen? He had Slaton or Gore at 1.10 or we could wait if you think there will be a problem. Nice pick Calvin think he may be top WR by end of season with Stafford hopefully throwing to him after bye week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah we have 4 detroiters here too just like my real drafts will be.

Zackattack 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Western Alum and think I'll be going to game. Western had good team last year. and Zach ya took my guy - former Western Mich Jennings. I know! My team needed some home cookin. He plays on a offense that likes to throw. He is a top 5 WR if the cards all fall in place. All the RB's I wanted were gone.

swirvenirvin 25 Posted August 20, 2009 So I'm not getting the hype with Housh ive got him for 87 receptions for 930 yards and 7td's. Are people projecting more TD's for him, I mean maybe one or two, but not enough for a 3rd an early round selection IMO. What are the folks who have him this high reasoning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffkomlo 19 Posted August 20, 2009 Housh will be no.1 in SEA, in Cin he had Ocho so he didn't see no 1 coverage. Agree with Swirv don't see the love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Hass was hurt last yr and they only threw for 18 TD. Their 3 and 5 yr avg is right around 24. I have them at 23 TD's this year with the following breakdown Housh 7 Burelson 5 Branch 4 random other receiver 1 Carlson 5 (now he is the main reason im not projecting more TD's) Ju Jones 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hook 6 Posted August 21, 2009 Pretty sure he will be very consistant this year with some big upside. Seattle should have a better year compared to the last couple and I couldn't pull the trigger on my top couple of RB's based on gut feeling. I should have picked Manning in the 2nd and then best WR in the third. Live and learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zackattack 0 Posted August 21, 2009 I am pretty happy to get Ronnie Brown in the late 3rd round. I see him with serious upside. To snag 2 great WR's and get him as my RB1 in the 3rd I like. I may go this route if I think this would work in my big $$ draft. Ronnie 18 months plus off that ACL tear. He has looked very good in camp so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swirvenirvin 25 Posted August 21, 2009 I really love Kevin Smith this year. I have him even with S-jax as far as total points (but that is because I have S-jax only at 14 games) We have zero competition last year, and the last few games he was carrying the ball 20+ times. Unfortunately I draft at the 10th and 12th spot this year and unless I do some trading I don't think I will be able to nab him. Maybe I'll tarde my 2nd round pick for a 3rd and some others, because I like him that much, and dont't think he will make it back to me at either of those two locations.

With Calvin, new TE and Stafford/Dante's arm strength, I think Smith gets a little extra breathing room at the line for fear of the deep ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he may fall farther than you think. I believe he is a good value pick also. Let's not get to excited the Lions will likely still suck this year. They don't even have a D-Line right now do they? I'm not buying into Lions hype at all, but if any RB gets the rock 20+ times a game they are going to have some fantasy value. I think Smith can certainly do it this year. yeah they are 2 live drafts in Michigan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,928 Posted August 21, 2009 Kevin Smith is falling to a place in drafts where taking him as your #3 option brings with it a huge upside IMHO. He could very well put up some respectable #'s..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted August 21, 2009 ok, is there a better way to do this? I know it typically takes a while to do this, but man, this is really slow. Is there an option in the yahoo league to actually input the draft choices there? Could we not post a list of phone #'s like zach did and we text the guy after us in the draft order with a msg that it's their pick? If you guys have any suggestions, I'm open to helping it move along however I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hook 6 Posted August 21, 2009 I am with you on that. If we do not get this thing moving then we will lose owners. I'm just sayin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swirvenirvin 25 Posted August 22, 2009 So, I see T. Jones ADP is ~5.10 but I'm not really sure why. He is still the starting RB, they lost suck a d1ck favre and Mangini, but Favre wasn't the reason for his success last year. I mean I don't have him doing what he did last year, but 270 rushes 1125 yards 9 TD's 28 receptions 185 and 1 TD. I would have loved to have taken Grant there but after Grant at least ADP there seems like there is a dropoff. I know TE is deep this year too and love some of the guys you can get later, but with no TO I think Witten is 30-40 points above the next TE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
