Rookie Draft Sunday: What to do with 1.3 and 1.4?

Postby WTA » Fri May 15, 2009 4:44 pm

Ok here's my squad, standard scoring w/PPR after 7 receptions, 12 team league, 20 man rosters...

QB - Romo, Garcia, Thigpen
RB - Gore, McGahee, Rice, Benson, Maroney, Morris, Bell
WR - Marshall, S moss, Curtis, D Henderson, R Davis, Stallworth
TE - Shockey, Lewis
K - K Brown
DEF - PHI, NYJ


Ok I obviously need a lot of help and I have alot of dead weight on my roster... I have 1.3 and 1.4 in the upcoming rookie draft... If it goes Moreno and Wells at 1.1 and 1.2 I'm leaning towards taking Crabtree and Brown, but if Crabtree is taken at one of the first two spots I will take Wells and probably try to trade down...

One team has the 1.06, 1.07, 1.08, and 1.11 spots... He has expressed interest in trading up to my 1.04... What would be good value in a trade here? If I trade down I would probably target one of the QB's... And should I try to trade down anyway no matter how the first two picks go?

Thanks...

You can never have too many top RB's.

If Crabtree is gone, take the top 2 RB's available.

The fact that I had Forte, DeAngelo, Jacobs and the Barbarian in my 12 team dynasty last season won the league for me. I was able to switch stud for stud throughout the season when the inevitable injuries occured.

Not that it matters imo, but how many RB's can you start?

Plus Gore and McGahee aren't getting any younger, Rice may have some potential, and the rest of your RB's are hot garbage.

We can start either 1 or 2 RB's...

Since he wants to trade up, ask what he's offering. Otherwise, Crabtree and Brown would be a great combo with those picks. If Crabtree is gone, Brown and whoever wasn't taken between Wells and Moreno.

My sentiments exactly on the picks.

You are always better to see what they will offer first. Lets you know where you stand. Since he is coming to you and you got da goods you should win on trading down if needed. Since he has so many firsts you might be able to pinch him for 2 of them then snag one of the 2nd tier WR's and possibly another RB.

Ok I now know that the first two picks are gonna be Moreno and Crabtree... I will definitely take Wells with 1.03...

Should I go ahead and snag Brown with 1.04 or make the trade down if I can pick up two first rounders?

Trade down & snag Sanchez. He's the futurestud getting overlooked right now, and with Geezer Garcia as your main backup you should be in the market. Also consider grabbing Pat White, he's also being groomed for future QB2 behing Chad Henne (Miami's already released the previous guy) - plus he figures to be a dangerous new factor in this season's Wildcat attack.

If Crabtree is there, jump on him. As for 1.04, I'm not as high on Brown as others but I don't know if you should take Green there. Getting Crabtree and Brown or Green would help your team.

Moreno and Crabtree went 1 and 2... I drafted Wells and traded back...

After 2 rounds I have acquired Wells, Stafford, Pettigrew, and DHB...
