Punch holes in my Mock Draft

Postby SheaColandri » Sun May 17, 2009 2:15 pm

Mock Draft starting at pick 1.06. 10 team custom league, non-PPR.
Standard scoring plus:
+6/all TDs, +1/8 ret yds, +1/300 pa yd 100 ru yd 100 rec yd, +1/400 200 200
Starting QB, 2RB, 2WR, FLEX, TE, D/ST, K

QB: Kurt Warner, Matt Hasselbeck
RB: Michael Turner, Steve Slaton, Le'Ron McClain, Willis McGahee, Dominic Rhodes
WR: Dwayne Bowe, Terrell Owens, Antonio Bryant, Donald Driver, Devin Hester
TE: Antonio Gates, Kevin Boss
D/ST: Chargers
K: Jason Elam

IMO, this is a pretty good draft considering I started with the 6th pick overall. Used ESPN mock draft. Picks 4 & 5 were Forte & S-Jax, so Turner fell into my lap. I handcuffed the Ravens RBs & went with San Diego D/ST due to the return of Lights Out. Looking for the holes and/or pitfalls I might have missed, so please fire away!

Can't really pick any holes in that lineup. Perhaps you could have gambled on a rookie instead of taking dominic Rhodes...

After i saw your rb's, I was figuring your demise would be your wr's. But you had an excellent draft, what more can I say. ;-D

I agree you had a pretty good draft drafting from the 1.06 spot, which is an unbelievably difficult spot to draft from, but considering your league has a flex position, this obvious brings the need for running backs to the forefront.

I like the fact you have Turner and Slaton, but beyond that I think your depth is a bit weak. McGahee/McLain is okay, but not a dependable rotation each week and Rhodes career took a dive when he moved to Buffalo. I would have taken a shot on a rookie, Moreno or Wells, before I took Rhodes, even possibly the Ravens backfield.

I like your WR group - I'm not a huge Hester fan, but he could certainly flourish with Cutler at the helm.

I give it an overall grade of B+ and this is simply because I think your RB depth is a bit weak. Outside of that, nice job!

Good draft. But. I don't see Turner dropping to #6 in Non ppr leagues.

Thanks all! Captain, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I would go with Knowshon if I could next time.

I just trying to figure out this draft if Turner feel to you at #6, you must have been smiling with that one. I like your team, I actually like your rb's better than your wr's, I just think that TO is going to have an off year and cause a ton of problems in Buffalo and I will be interested to see what Bryant does this year in TB. If TO and Bryant put up similar numbers to last year your team will be solid and very tough to beat all year. Nice draft.

Nice draft. Solid stable of stud guys at every position. But, gotta keep in mind, leagues are won and lost in the latter rounds. I like McClain but that Baltimore offense is sooo shaky I don't know if I could spend two roster spots on him. D. Rhodes, even though he played at my alma-mater, is a bit washed up, in my opinion. Especially in his current spot. Good job... after you get through the Turner's and T.O.'s of the world that's when good drafts become GREAT ones...
