1.03 in Dynasty - is this a no-brainer? WHIR

[wickerkat]

Dynasty 12-man, 1 ppr. Standard scoring and we start qb-rb-rb-rb-wr-wr-wr-wr-flex-te-k-d.

My wrs blow. I mean, my BEST starters are Ocho, Housh, Coles and Roy. Got some youth with upside, but still, they suck.

Should I just take the best of Dez, Mathews or CJ at 1.03 or should I take a wr even if Dez goes at 1.01/1.02? I LOVE Dez and Mathews, not so much CJ. I think CJ's still last of this elite tier, but with my wr needs so desperate, should I even consider somebody like Golden at 1.03? I'm not big on DThomas, especially in Denver.

I have the 3, 15, 43, 44 picks. I'll probably take a wr at 15 if ANY talent is there (and there will be) unless a top rb or qb falls to me (ie, Clausen, Tate, Dwyer, etc.)

Here's my entire roster, starters (at least LAST year, in bold):

Cassel, Matt KCC QB - 4
Favre, Brett MIN QB (Q) - 4
Flacco, Joe BAL QB - 8
Freeman, Josh TBB QB - 4

Benson, Cedric CIN RB - 6
Brown, Ronnie MIA RB (P) - 5
Jackson, Steven STL RB - 9
Slaton, Steve HOU RB (P) - 7

Aromashodu, Devin CHI WR - 8
Coles, Laveranues CIN WR - 5
Gage, Justin TEN WR - 9
Heyward-Bey, Darrius OAK WR - 10
Houshmandzadeh, T.J. SEA WR - 5
Knox, Johnny CHI WR - 8
Ochocinco, Chad CIN WR - 6
Thomas, Mike JAC WR - 9
Williams, Roy DAL WR - 4
Williamson, Troy JAC WR (P) - 9

Finley, Jermichael GBP TE - 10
Lewis, Marcedes JAC TE - 9
Olsen, Greg CHI TE - 8

Carpenter, Dan MIA PK - 5

Bears, Chicago CHI Def - 8
Cardinals, Arizona ARI Def - 6

If Mathews and Bryant go 1/2 in your draft I personally would look to deal the pick. I am not a fan of this years draft class to begin with and while Spiller has potential he plays on a lousy team, in lousy weather against fairly good teams. I also don't believe him to be even close to a 3 down back.

Target a WR heavy team and see what kind of deal you can put together.

What would be a good trade?

1.03 for a later pick, say 1.07 or 1.09 and maybe a 2nd round pick?
1.03 + a mid range player for a solid wr like Boldin?

If Dez isnt there or MAYBE Matthews, which I can't imagine him not being there after 1.01... I would trade down and hopefully get Tate and Thomas or some other prospects and hopefully one pans out. My way of seeing it outside of this top tier-ish (Dez and Matthews) then it's all about even-money, so try and get more picks and just keep the one that pans out. Fantasy-wise this draft just wasn't very deep in legit, elite talent.

[wickerkat]

couple guys have mentioned trading down - how far, and what do you ask for? i'm terrible at gauging these things

[bmor8811]

If it was me, I'd be looking for a pick later in the first round and a second rounder for a shot into the top tier. At least that's how I'd sell it to a guy to come up and grab Spiller... But if someone's not willing to part with two picks, then maybe like the person above me look for a lower draft pick and an aging WR that still has some value but can provide a stop-gap for you for the next couple of years to develop a guy like Tate, Thomas, or another young WR that might fall to ya. Target a ABoldin, SMoss, WWelker (injury status needed updated), THoushmandzadeh, etc. depending on the value of your pick you're getting back.

If you don't like Spiller, take Best. Detroit has a much better offense than Buffalo, and Best has as high a chance at being a special player.

I would stay at 3 and take who is left from Matthews, Spiller and Dez

[dblj9911]

I think that the top three are Matthews, Bryant and Best, I'm not a big fan of Spillers situation. I would say take which ever of those three falls to you. I think that Matthews and Bryant are both in great situations with the offenses that they are landing in. I think that Best is going in to a up and coming offense that should improve this year. Good luck.

Stay at 3 and take best available of Matthews, Best, and Dez.

If you are desperate to take a WR, you can talk to the guy at 1.5 and see what he would give up for the privilege of swapping picks... then take best available WR.

While I think Spiller has enormous talent, he's in a poor situation in BUF with no QB, 1 decent WR, and 2 other RBs that can start. If Lynch is traded/released, and camp reports on Spiller are very positive, maybe I can justify ranking him in the top 3 rookies... but until/unless that happens, he's overvalued if picked in the top-3 rookie spots.
