8th pick!!!!!!

Postby Connorsdad » Mon Jul 20, 2009 11:54 pm

Hey guys i need your opinion on who i should pick in the 1st round this year i pick 8th overall in a 12 man league non ppr.

Scoring: 1pt every 20yds rushing or rec.
All TD's are worth 6pts.
1pt. every 50yds passing (I know sorta low scoring system)

Start: 1QB 2RB 2WR 1TE 1K 1DEF

In this league RB's go early and often as they do in most leagues. Of course Peterson , Jones-Drew,
Steven Jackson , Tomlinson , Chris Johnson (A Titans Fan). Those are the players i'm sure will be gone. I know this leaves 2 picks before i get to choose but this is the best i can give you right now.

Players that might go in those to picks might be Tom Brady and Michael Turner.
My problem is picking between Forte, Westbrook , maybe Turner , Drew Brees (i don't like to take a QB in the 1st round but i'll listen if someone thinks i should), DeAngelo Williams, Larry Fitz.

I appreciate any opinions you can give to help me make my decision.

Forte
Westy
Turner (maybe)
DWill
Larry Fitz
Steven Jackson

Thanks and goodluck this year!!!

Forte & Turner won't last until #8, they're both top 3 on a lotta lists, top 5 for sure. Tomlinson is falling this year. In a 12 teamer I would usually go with the best RB avail as they are golden in that size league.

First of all, if Forte or Turner are sitting there at #8, then they are no brainers. Hopefully, LT slips to you at #8. I think that he has at least 1 more stud season in him.

AD
MJD
Turner
Forte
LT
SJax
Chris Johnson (cause you said he would go, personally, I wouldn't take him)
Gore

Any of those guys I will take at #8 (except CJ) CJ would be replaced by DWill at #8 and Gore moves to #7.

just not sold on him yet. I see him as a yardage guy and in a 1/20 that isn't what I want in a RB1. LenDale is playing for a contract as well this year.

I can't put him ahead of any of those guys.

I like DWill in that spot and in most drafts he will be there. Gore and LT are also both good options.

I have love for CJ. The only problem is that he is not going to see goal line carries with Lendale around. His value is higher in PPR and yardage leagues, but in TD heavy leagues his value takes a hit.
