Who Would You Draft 1st Overall?

[BigWeiner]

How come you are not playing in any BC Leagues BW?

I have spots open for the Saturday draft.

I'm out of town that weekend, so I wouldn't be able to draft. I get in if you need me and just draft auto. I think I'd go Rodgers if td's are the same. RB's are such a risk to get hurt

I agree but i found out last year, it's hard to win without a good one too!

I need some people for the Saturday League. If you want to do one, let me know and i'll send the invite!

Now Plaxico Burress is trying out with N.E. today? They already have 10 WR's now and they will have to cut a few good ones already? Why are they trying out Plax? Welker, Lloyd, Gronk, Burress and Hernandez. It would be a tough bunch to cover!

It would also be tough picking them for a fantasy team. Not enough balls to go around!

I agree...Burress doesn't seem to be a help for NE. They already have enough big body redzone guys and he's not a burner.

One day after being arrested on domestic battery charges, veteran wide receiver Chad Johnson has been released by the Miami Dolphins, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.


The six-time Pro Bowl receiver was released on $2,500 bond Sunday after his wife accused him of head-butting her during an argument in front of their home. Johnson was charged with simple domestic battery, a misdemeanor.


The confrontation came barely a month after Johnson married Evelyn Lozada, who is on the reality TV show "Basketball Wives."

You can find RBs though, just draft a bunch of good backups, like D. Murray was last year. RBs will get hurt

I dropped murray last year after 3 or 4 weeks when he didn't have a carry and I needed the roster spot.

Same point touched on in ProBall weekly .... feel that Hernandez will come out on short end.

[Ldawg]

I'm only in one League and the draft will not be until Sept. 1 .... still could use some help in here

They use him like a WR though dawg. I think Gronk and Welker have to drop but i'm not sure AH will.

Of all the TE's out there that are most likely to either hold or exceed their value from last year Hernandez is the most likely. I also wonder if we might see a big year out of Vernon Davis again this year. With Moss "supposedly" stretching defenses and the suspect Alex Smith as QB Davis should get more balls IMO.

Definitely not a 1st overall pick by any means, but how high does AD get drafted?

Good question. He scares the hell out of me this year. It will be feast or famine with him. Not sure i want to take that chance.

ADP has him going late first to mid second round in most drafts. The people that are willing to take him are probably taking Gerhardt in the 6th or 7th. I've been avoiding him like the plague in my mocks and actual drafts so far. I don't like handcuffs...Hence my affinity for Rice as the #1 overall.

Anyway, I have no reason to believe that AD isn't going to give 1,000 and 7-9 TD's this year which makes him a solid runner but not a #1 fantasy back. Even if he comes back and is given 1/2 his normal work load for the first 4 weeks he should easily eclipse those numbers.

[BigWeiner]

I don't think you can go wrong with Foster or Rice. I actually lean Rice just because he's been more durable. Tate is the most valuable handcuff in fantasy. Someone may grab him a few rounds early from you just to try and get you on a trade later. Here's my top 14 for the draft that you showed Wayne...

1) Ray Rice
2) Arian Foster
3) Shady McCoy
4) Aaron Rodgers
5) Megatron
6) Tom Brady
7) Marsawn Lynch
8) Greg Jennings
9) Julio Jones
10) Drew Brees
11) Jimmy Graham
12) Maurice Jones-Drew
13) Fred Jackson
14) Victor Cruz

Lynch at 7? Victor Cruz 14? What about Fitzgerald, AJ Green, Andre Johnson? McFadden over Lynch, no?
