MJ's official Fan. Foot. draft thread
- Thread starter Eddie Haskell
- Start date
Eddie i think D mcnab might be the most overrated player in the history of Philly sports but i think you have a sleeper with him in this contest. The Philly O line is fantastic and any 2nd string college quarterback could sit back there all day and complete passes. Plus the fact that ESPN is all over his dick again this year and the fact that Vick went down, if you mix it all up, you have a solid pick. LJ i have my doubts this year. Can't see him doing the usual LJ stuff. Lost a solid offensive lineman which could be a problem. Oh and you Joey Harrington pick? I like it to. Atlanta most likely is headed for the playoffs in the feel good story in the NFL. Kinda like the Saints last year. You will see the same thing in College with Va tech. I already see people lining up to take the Falcons line under for the season. In an honest world they are right on but there is no such thing in the sports world called an honest world. It really is much like politics. Ya just have to spot the con job.

I would say that Agent and Davoso have the best all around teams. I will say that Agent made an excellent early pick with the bears dst. They alone will get him five to seven touchdowns. JMO, don't care what any of the other humps think but that is my opinion. Davoso also picked quite wisely. Withan honorable mention to Eddie haskell
snnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttt
Nice bump thanks, I'm friggin wired.................Oh Gawd I gotta go shit.
Seriously, when you look at he boards. There are a few that completely drafted themselves out of it within the first three rounds. This is a touchdown based point system for the most part and many are hoping that short yard specialists such as Alstott used to be will make a comeback ala Lamont Jordan. That however to me is a weak pick as Tatum Bell is the better back and will the more consistent touches and he could have picked up Marques Colston who will get you the 7-9 Touchdowns you are only 'hoping' to get out of Jordan.
Bert07 started off extremely strong with excellent picks of Lt and Drew Brees as that will equate to 45-51 touchdowns alone however I think he made a huge oversight in letting Adrian Peterson go in favor of Thomas Jones who is a stutter step runner that does not accelerate through the hole like Peterson who is running behind a much better line. Keep in mind who Thomas is trying to score with. Good two receivers and two stretches. Muhammad will not get the touchdowns in the Bear offense. Look for Berrian and Olsen to have the majority of the recieving touchdowns along with Hester, Desmond Clark and Garret Wolfe.Grade A-
Backcracker, with all due respect dude, should have had your wife or girlfriend pick your team. Tom Brady and Jackson are obviously solid picks but to take a chance pick on Deuce McCallister and Randy Moss in early rounds that would have probably been available two rounds later was way too hopeful. Passing on career number guys such as a healthy Hines Ward, Donovan McNabb,Adrian Peterson, Reggie Wayne or Marc Bulger was who all have something to prove this year is a huge oversight. Grade F-
Bjfinste damn near made a believer out of me until he completely lost me in the 5th and 6th taking Ahman Green and Brown rather than a solid quarterback in Philip Rivers and Matt Leinart. I would have locked them both up and I think it hurts him in the long run. Also could have had the best receiving core in the draft with the insight into Berrian with the bears new throw first offense. Grade F+
c20916-Grossman pick could pay off very nicely or not, however,................welcome to loser town population you. Not a good strategy whatsoever in my humble opinion, while I realize it means nothing, I wish you nothing but the best but drafting a weak E. James running behind a QB that will be responsible for 65% o the team scoring and the kicker the other 90% is not a first round sleeper by any means. Grade D-
What can you say about Davoso his first seven picks are all players that account for the majority of the scoring at their respective positions for their team. A brilliant pick with Berrian in the late rounds. All the Bear haters can cry if they want to but the man flat out catches touchdowns and with Hester and Olsen to stretch the field while Muhsin takes the seam. How exactly do you line up, or who for that matter do you put on a slot receiver with 4.1 speed? Even the pick of Peterson in the late rounds was an excellent choice being that he will come in in third down and passing situations and given Bensons injury history. Grade A+
Eddie Haskell made some solid early round picks with Johnson and Holt. I was completely surprised at the Coles pick in favor of TO or Santana Moss. Fantasy football isn't about character and I think eddie may have been looking a bit deep here and let a little something get in the way here. However, the last two picks of Harrington and Olsen were genius. Grade C
Godfavoritedog seems to be a popular pick however I see nothing here except sedentary players that will put up average numbers at best and every once in a while have break out games. If anyone thinks that Jones-Drew will be able to run free like he did last year after professional football teams have had a year to study tape then you don't know football. Please see Tony Romo's games after game six, shit. I think he has picked a team that will keep him n many games and may even give him big win here and there, but let's face it Barber and Mason are ehhhh. Delhomme is in danger of being benched. I know he is a good player(Godsfave) and am sure he has a plan and these are just my opinions but I don't like his chances this year. Grade C
Golferboy is another that picked a pretty solid team but took few risks, I like the TO and Benson pick but I am not feeling the Kitna pick or the Davenport pick. I hope you do well. Favre could do it all for you you never know. Grade C-
JpBlack may have had the most well thought out draft of all. His picks were absolutely spot on as far as taking the best producer on the board at the time of his pick. A very capable team to beat any and everybody on any given week. The Crayton pick up late was nothing short of a steal as you should quickly see once TO gets a bitch pain. Very nicely done as far as planning and insight and will be there all the way to the end. Grade A
Pocket Aces has a couple of nice picks however was planning the rest of his team around performances of the late nineties and early 2k's. Has some serious talent and some serious stiffs so he is a toss up. Grade D+
Wareagle, Absolutley detested his first pick and then he went on to have the best 2 through 6 rounds of everyone. Will those be enough is tough to see. Westbrook will not make it through the season, he never does and historically he accounts for very little of their scoring but a tremendous amount of their yardage. That being said I believe his lack of numbers at running back can be fixed by just three huge games from Palmer which he is perfectly capable of an two huge games by Moss and Edwards. Grade B+
Agent, last but not least, has a nice team. His first two pick were obviously homers and ultimately anybody that has done this knows this will hurt more than help. With Peytons penchant for picking a receiver during a game and funneling him the ball all game Reggie Wayne is poised to steal much of Marvins thunder, who by the way is awesome but alway draws the double team. Chad Johnson would have been by far the better pick and Houszmanadah or whatever is not the receiver that Wayne in and Carson is in man love with Chad which is why his numbers will eclipse Harrisons. Also,IMO, when you have two high scoring teams that should play each other through the season, you definitely want to have a scorer on each team. I think I know what you were looking for in the Jordan pick. A short yardage touchdown specialist, but when you have one of the worst running games in the league those opportunities will be few. I would have not gone with Trent Green either I would have tried to look for some value elsewhere and picked up Schaub late. That being said the Bears DST pick early was a very sage idea and you will accumulate 8-15 points a week from them alone which will make up for many of your backs shortcomings. Grade B+
My predictions are as follows.
1st Davoso
2nd Bert07
3rd jpBlack
4th Wareagle
5th Agent
6th Eddie Haskell
FDC, you have already put more thought into this than anyone playing in it. :mj07:
Call my picks 'homers' all you want but at the 10 slot I had to go against the grain. My top choice for RB at that time was Ronnie Brown, :142smilie . No thanks! One of my theories is to get people I like and will have a chance to watch. Once I went with Manning (who was by FAR the best value at that time), it only made sense to snag Marvin. In a weekly payout league, I'm hoping they can fuel me to a couple victories when they do hook up a time or 2.
Obviously in drafting the way I did, I completely hosed myself at RB. That's why I went with DEF and K early. IMO, I have the #1 player in 4 categories with Peyton, Marvin, Bears D, SD K.
I think I can patch together some decent weeks with my RB core and hope that Cadillac breaks out big this year. Or, grab a quality backup later if someone goes down.
Who would YOU have taken in my first draft slot?

Dude, I absolutely agree with Peyton, he was the obvious choice at that pick. My little issue was with your second pick of Marvin, who I am absolutely taking nothing away from as a pick and I understand one throw to him and it twelve points or whatever, however I am saying that Chad Johnson would have been the pick there. Here is my reason, Chad accounted for close to forty two percent of their total offensive numbers, be it yardage, points and touches along with the few return yards he had. Those numbers are astronomical and I know that Harrison accounts for alot also but Wayne subtracts more from him then Houz does from Chad. Also picking Chad here allows you to have the ULTIMATE scoring opportunity in Fantasy which is having the two higher scoring teams with great QBs and Egotistcal WR's facing off in a game situation. Who cares who wins just throw lots of touchdowns. Not saying a bad pick. I just really think Chad was your better option there thats it. JMO. Good luck
You're probably right, but then I would have to cheer for the Bungholes which outweighs Marvins possible downfalls.
lol
Why didn't you get in this, you obviously know what the fukc you're doing!?:shrug:

I tried but was to late I was in the hospital for a stretch with pneumonia and then never saw it till too late.
Dam! Sorry to hear that...
Would honestly like your opinion of who to start in week 1. I tentatively have:
Jordan
Williams
Harrison
Horn
Shockey
Obviously Manning, Bears D, SD K are all shoe ins. Should I bench Jordan for Tatum Bell, and maybe Shockey for Ginn Jr? Also, having trouble finding out much about Horn right now. How is he looking? Crumpler is an option also...

I would stay away from Jordan at this point. Tatum bell is with a new team and has a 5.3 yard average over his career while Jordan's carries have STEADILY declined especially toward the end of the season. With Kitna playing dinged up Detroit will look to run the ball early and often and their only real threat that has been IN CAMP is Bell. And you know he is looking to impress in the opener. Also think where Bell came from Denver. He is comfortable in Oakland and had historically played well and has little respect for them I am sure. His last game in Oakland he had a respectable 83 yards on 23 carries while Jordan had 60 yards and the same number of carries. Detroit is a much better run defense regardless of Tomlin or anyone else in Oakland. I do not thing Jordan is the answer although he is a big back I think you see more passing than running by Oakland.
Joe Horn has not only not impressed in preseason games he has not won the favor of his coaches at this time. Shockey is tough on opening day dude.
Ok, so Bell over Jordan.
Receivers: Harrison, Shockey, and the 3rd spot is between Horn, Ginn Jr., Crumpler.
I'm leaning towards Ginn as a flyer. I also have NE TE.
Little help here please!

Here is the thing Chad, Horn is the only real receiver on that team. Trust me when I tell you that Dez White,Ex-bear, is a non factor and they have no running game to speak of really. I think that with the recent release of Byron Leftwich you will soon see him in an Atlanta uniform but not in time to help you this week. Ginn Jr. however is a bona fide receiver that is simply unproven. Trent Green will air the ball out and has alway had excellent touch for a long ball just not the best aim. This works in your favor as Ginn can run under just about anything faster than the guy covering him. Ginn is the only real choice. As you have to hope for a 3 reception for 87 yard and 1 Td game with a long of about 40 and that will serve you alot better than the 4 yard average that Horn may end up with.
JMO
Hope this helps,

Well, this horrible season (for me) is finally coming to a close. Rocked a 1-11-1 record, and still managed to somehow get some of my fee back by having the high score of the week in my lone victory.
Good luck to the teams in the playoffs.
