i did a yahoo mock draft, 12 people and I had pick #2 (which kinda sucks):

1. C.J. Spiller (Buf - RB)
2. Aaron Rodgers (GB - QB)
3. Reggie Bush (Det - RB)
4. Darren Sproles (NO - RB)
5. Antonio Brown (Pit - WR)
6. Ryan Mathews (SD - RB)
7. Mike Williams (TB - WR)
8. T.Y. Hilton (Ind - WR)
9. DeAndre Hopkins (Hou - WR)
10. Bryce Brown (Phi - RB)
11. Jared Cook (StL - TE)
12. Ryan Broyles (Det - WR)
13. Johnathan Franklin (GB - RB)
14. Tennessee (Ten - DEF)
15. Lawrence Tynes (TB - K)

it's solid...my initial plan was 3 straight RBs no matter what, but i still have a hard time passing on QBs...

i could have taken chris johnson in the 2nd, and then instead of Sproles in the 5th had a QB from Ryan, Kaepernick, Newton, RGIII

probably reached on hopkins, but it was mostly sorting trash at that point

and i'm torn between charles/spiller for my first rb

If this was a real draft and it was PPR.. this would be ACES.

I like where you got him just fine. I'm pretty high on him though.

I'm thinking Charles will be there when I draft sixth in my league (don't ask.. everyone drafts QBs like crazy because we can start two and people haven't adapted since we dropped the passing points down to 4 from 6). I know it's a BIT of a homer pick, but I really hope it makes sense for me to get him at 6.

One reason I like him is because I think Kniles is the clear backup. I like to pick high Rb's that you can legitimately handcuff.

Just did my first ever Dynasty draft.

12 players -- 4 hours, 42 minutes. OH. MY. JESUS.

[Ceej]

Okay, for those of you with no life please critique my first dynasty draft.

I picked 5/12.

We start: 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3WRs, 1 TE, 1 K, 2 DL, 3LBS, 1 S, 1 C.

QBs - Ryan, Rivers
RBs - Charles, David Wilson, LeShoure, Richardson, 'quiz Rodgers, Ballard
WRs - Demariyus Thomas, A. Brown, V. Brown, Givens, DeAndre Hopkins, DJax, Tate
TEs - Witten, Myers
K - Janikowski
DL - Datone Jones, Muhammed Wilkerson
LB - Bostic, Bowman, Houston, Clay Matthews, Sio Moore, Alec Ogletree, Walden
CB - Shields
S - Earl Thomas, Kenny Vaccaro.


Man, this was tough. A lot of young guys -- especially on the defensive end. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my squad. WR 2/3 could potentially be an issue. Hoping Thomas, DJax, and a combination of Hopkins/Brown/Brown could do the job.

thanks man

it's funny, i've done some mocks to try out different strategies (last year was my first year, and I reached for everyone) and it is so hard to commit to 3 rbs when QBs and WRs are flying off the boards, but I like the results

there's about 10 QBs with a few points of each other, it seems, and a couple are always there in 8-9th round

anyone think Alex Smith could put up decent ff #s in a pinch?

It's hard to pull the trigger on an elite QB in the early rounds when there will be guys like Stafford, Romo, Eli, Luck, etc all available late, with not a huge drop off in production.

Is this a PPR or Standard league?

I've done a bunch of mock drafts on fantasyfootballcalculator and Spiller never goes that high. I'd much rather have Foster or Charles at the #2 spot this year.

He might.

I've drawn the #2 spot in my 10 team standard league and I've narrowed it down to either Charles or Foster. I'm worried about the lack of TD's for Charles. I think the same thing goes for Spiller. Both are much more appealing in a PPR format.
