nk3323 36 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I picked 5th in a 12 team league. 1/2 ppr. with a flex. We take breaks every couple of rounds. Picked Gordon, then Gurley (passed on cooks, baldwin) Top 3 Qbs off the board, best WRs available are TY (although Luck's health is a BIG concern for me) Pryor, Allen, D. Thomas - all not worth taking this early IMO RBs available are Lynch, Crow, Hyde, etc.... Am I crazy for thinking of taking a 3rd RB (even though i would start him as a flex) ? I don't really see much value here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Axe Elf 2,540 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 You're thinking about passing on T.Y. Hilton in the third round of a 12 team draft? Luck's gonna miss like a week or two. And even if he DIES, Hilton is still the reigning NFL receiving yards leader--AND you already have two stud RBs! (Although reaching for Gordon when you should have McCoy is going to cost you.) Do the math. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Although reaching for Gordon when you should have McCoy is going to cost you.) Do the math. Imo. I think luck is done for at least half the year. He may even have to retire. Hilton will probably have 1,000 yards and 5-6 TDs. I can get that a round later. Any other ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wecj3381 45 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I might have passed on Gurley and went WR in the second, but it's all preference. If you think he's gonna bounce back, then it's fine going RB in the first two rounds. As for your 3rd round pick, I don't have a problem taking a 3rd RB to start the draft, but I don't think the options are worth it when you can get guys just as productive(Hunt, Anderson, Ingram) later. What about taking a TE or QB? Probably a little early for Aaron Rogers or a guy like Travis Kelce(decent pick in a 1/2 pt PPR), but neither is likely to make it back to you in the 4th round. I think I'd rather have an elite at one of those positions then reach for a WR or RB, when I think there is plenty of depth at both spots later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That could be an interesting pick but way too early for a TE not named gronk But I'm targeting graham, Olsen, or Reed in the 5th Edited August 29, 2017 by nk3323 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nk3323 36 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 They're being very quiet about his recovery. That really scares me. You really mean to tell me that if tolzien is the Qb for the year that ty will produce like a high end wr2/ low wr1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Axe Elf 2,540 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 You really mean to tell me that if Tolzien is the QB for the year that they will just throw in the towel and hand off to Gore on every play? Even in the highly unlikely event that Luck is out for the year, he played all of 2016 with a shoulder so sore he could hardly throw in practice and needed pain injections to get through games--and Hilton led the NFL in receiving yardage. I don't think Tolzien (or perhaps even more likely, Stephen Morris) can totally kill his production in this offense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arrow7 25 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 You're overthinking this - TY is a steal at your spot. Just FYI Pryor and Allen are also worth the (29th?) overall pick but TY should be your pick without hesitation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PackerBacker555 943 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I agree to take Hilton but Kelce is interesting as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nk3323 36 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 i didn't have a choice today. TY was taken before me, went for lynch and will start as a flex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colepenhagen 3,488 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 since you pick in the middle of the draft you arent bound to positions as much if you were pick near the turns then it would be a bad idea but you should be able to get good wr production in the 4th and 5th rds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
