Draft TE In First Round? (I'll Help You)

Postby Lucky7 » Tue Aug 14, 2012 1:45 pm

10-team, 2 keeper, standard scoring, NON-PPR league. Start QB, RB,RB,WR,WR,FLEX,TE
I'm keeping Cam in the 15th round and DeMarco Murray in the 14th round.
I have the 10/11 swing pix at bottom of draft.
At the bottom of round 1, I'm looking at RBs like Forte, Lynch, SJax, FJax, ADP
WRs will likely all be there except CJ.
There will likely one of the two big TEs Graham/Gronk.

I'm debating whether to go RB/RB or RB/TE.
I could get RB+ADP. ADP is a risk, but could pay off big down the stretch and I can bench him til he is a full go.
I could also go RB+TE.
WR is deep enough to fill in rounds 3/4.

Thoughts?

I would take a TE and RB because you have Murray already. There is also less risk in taking a TE.

I say Forte if he's there. Then if you want, go for Graham. Or if someone really good happens to fall to you at 11 you might be better off to go with him over Graham

Because it is a 10 Teamer and you have Cam & Demarco in tow I would go:

One of Gates, Finley and Hernandez will be there in the 3rd and 4th if you go with Scenario 1, then you take something like a Welker, B. Marshall, Wallace (reports are saying he is reporting before week 1 today)

to recap:

Scenario 1 (WR, RB)
Cam
Demarco
Fitz/A.Johnson
ADP
Gates
B. Marshall

vs.

Scenario 2 (TE, RB)
Cam
ADP
Demarco
Marshall
Welker
Graham

Senario 3 (RB, RB)
Cam
ADP
Forte
Demarco
Marshall
Welker
5th rd or later TE (witten, finley, v. davis, f. davis) target two lesser TEs.

Remember Graham wasn't a top 5 TE last year entering the draft so option three may be the biggest upside in a 10 Teamer with TE being a deep position.


Give me Scenario 3 because I would want to have the chance to destroy everyone.

Nice analysis! Thanks. I like scenario 3 if ADP is there. If he's not, then I'm not so sure it works as well with let's say SJax and Forte v. Forte and Graham.
