My only worry is Sims Walker. I had him last year and he seemed to fall apart about half way through. By the end of the season I had benched him. He started out amazing and I'm not sure what happened. He was just shut down. I hope he has a better season. I'm with you on Rice and Rivers. Both are lined up to have a great year. Not a bad line up.
ReplyDeleteThe WRs suck, hopefully Sims Walker will be better in St Louis with Bradford than he was in Jacksonville with Garrard. I wanted Rice badly and was happy he fell to #7, I had just read some reports that he will figure in the goal line offense this year, something he didn't do all that much with McGahee on the roster last year. If either Grant or Jackson pan out I should be serviceable at RB. I took Rivers in the 2nd because of the value, all of the top tier running backs were gone as well as a few of the WRS and of course Brady and Manning, so it was just simply taking the best player available at that point..
ReplyDeleteI don't worry about QBa until about the 4th round usually
ReplyDeleteI have a line that I draw, usually around the top 5 or 6 and if I am not in that group then I don't sweat the QB. Even if they are available if there is other talent on the board I probably will not take the QB. But picking 7th sucks (out of 14) because I don't get one of the top two or three guys by picking early and I can't double up at the end of a round by picking late. By the time my second pick rolled around, here is what had left the board;
ReplyDeleteRd 1
A. Peterson, M. Vick, A Rodgers, Chris Johnson, P Manning, A Foster, R Rice (me), A Johnson, L McCoy, J Charles, R Mendenhall, D McFadden, T Brady, M Jones-Drew
Rd 2
F Gore, R Wayne, R White, M Turner, Calvin Johnson, D Brees, S Jackson
With all of that gone already, Rivers looked like the best choice given the circumstances.
true. And everyone has a different draft strategy. In the Multiply league I will actually play this year. Last year there were games I had injured players or byes. After the incident with the bitch I didn't sign on to my team for the rest of the season so I missed everything after game 1. I wish I could have kicked the 2 women out of the league who were causing the drama.
