Just finished my first draft this year. 14 team work league. .5 PPR, 1 IDP player, and max of 4 RB and 4 WR per roster(the idea being to keep better players available on the WW). I had the 13th pick.

13 Melvin Gordon, LAC RB
16 Keenan Allen, LAC WR
41 Amari Cooper, Oak WR
44 Kenyan Drake, Mia RB
69 Trey Burton, Chi TE
72 Kerryon Johnson, Det RB
97 Peyton Barber, TB RB
100 Jamison Crowder, Wsh WR
125 Patrick Mahomes, KC QB
128 Matt Ryan, Atl QB
153 Landon Collins, NYG S
156 DJ Moore, Car WR
181 Vance McDonald, Pit TE
184 Saints D/ST D/ST
209 Stephen Hauschka, Buf K
212 Steelers D/ST D/ST


Pretty happy with my draft overall. I like every positional group. I expect to drop DJ Moore as soon as Week 2 and we'll see how long Peyton Barber is relevant.

why draft 2 team defenses?

Imagine having two top 20 picks and only coming away with Melvin Gordon and Keenan Allen. That hurts. Drake and Burton way overdrafted too.

Cooper and Kerryon goods picks though.

Positional limits.

2 QBs
4 RBs
4 WRs
2 TEs
2 IDP

Are max per roster. So basically had an extra bench spot to kill at the end that I couldn't spend on a QB, RB, WR or TE

Well aside from the Royce Freeman and Jerick McKinnon (L O L that guy is probably taking a dive for some reason) you got the worst player in round 2. Sucks that Julio went one pick ahead of Gordon.

Also why did Tom Brady go 5th.

:lol: :lol: That guy is an idiot. His team is awful.

I have to assume you're unfamiliar with Keenan Allen. 100 catches and 1400 yards in his first season back from injury is pretty solid. Very safe pick.

I had a draft last night in a keeper league. I got to keep a QB, RB, and WR from last year. I kept Matt Ryan, Christian McCaffery, and Brandin Cooks.

It is a 10 team PPR league. You start 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 2 Flex RB/WR/TE , 1 Team D and a K

Here is my team after the draft

QBs
Ryan
Garappolo
Flacco

RBs
McCaffery
Dalvin Cook
Lamar Miller
Beast Mode
P. Barber

WRs
Cooks
Allen Robinson
Doug Baldwin
S. Shepard
Cam Meredith
Anthony Miller

TE
Trey Burton

D
Packers

K
J Elliot

Why is your team called The Ten Schneiders?

Your defense sucks but has a great week 1 matchup. Rest of the team looks solid. You took Robinson before Baldwin?

Yeah when my pick was up I was debating Robinson and Baldwin, and then I could not believe Baldwin was still there with my next pick...like 5 picks later. So was really happy to get both.

I only picked the Pack because of the week 1 matchup. I drop Ds a lot and pick up the best matchup for the week. I rarely keep a Team D very long.

The Trey Burton love by both of you is misplaced. What has he done, other than move from one team to another, to make you think he was worth picking?

There was a run on TEs and I was very happy taking him as the 7th or 8th one off the board. He's gonna get a lot of targets.

I had not really planned on taking him. I always wait till later in the draft to pick up a TE and when I noticed late he was still there I grabbed him. I do think Nagy wants to utilize the TE position so maybe he will have a couple good weeks.

Allen isn't bad he's just overdrafted.

IMO Dalvin has a higher ceiling than Gordon, but no issue coming out of a 14 PPR with those 2 as 1,2.

Burton in the lower half of TEs is a very good pick

As the season wears on I think we will see that Bear offense goes through TE and RB rather than WR. I think Cohen is being heavily undervalued.

This is how you draft a team FF. Next time don't do your draft blazed out of your skull.

Quote:
12-Team PPR, 11th Pick

QB: Drew Brees, NO QB
RB: Leonard Fournette, Jax RB
RB: Jamaal Williams, GB RB  Q
WR: Michael Thomas, NO WR
WR: Golden Tate, Det WR
TE: Austin Hooper, Atl TE
FLEX: Chris Hogan, NE WR
DEF:
K:

BENCH:
Duke Johnson Jr., Cle RB
Tarik Cohen, Chi RB
Aaron Jones, GB RB SSPD
Matt Breida, SF RB Q
Boston Scott, NO RB

Robby Anderson, NYJ WR
DeVante Parker, Mia WR  Q
Tyler Lockett, Sea WR  Q
Mack Hollins, Phi WR  Q

I'll have to drop two guys for a K and DEF but I'll figure that out before WK1 begins. Confident in my roster of WRs but unsure about my RB situation.
