Pick #7

[NIEM36]

PPR league.
1QB
2RB
2WR
1flex
1TE
1D
1P

Who do I take? All of my mock drafts have had either Rodgers, or A. Johnson available.

Well I have so many different takes on this.. I got Rodgers at 9 in my first league, 7 backs and one wr taken,,,

Drafting 7 is tough.. If you think Stafford or Bradford will have good years then I draft the best non QB there and take them later.. WR seems top heavy this year but a bit thin later..

This is a tough year.

I am working nights tonight and I am absolutely going to study study study this draft if all is quiet. Maybe Thursday night, I will post several draft strategies.

Thanks bleeding....

Bleed....I need your advice on AP this year!!! AP or Foster??

 

[NIEM36]

This is a tough spot, in most of the mock drafts I have done, i have been able to get either A Johnson, or Rodgers. I just can't decide which way to go. I am leaning A Johnson, and hoping to pick up Schaub in the 4th or 5th. Another guy I have my eyes on is Jermichal Finley GB TE. Any thoughts on him?

Finley is an absolute STUD if healthy. He is quick and can get open. Can have some hands issues at times but if healthy he can have a big big year. I rank him #2 Fantasy TE if Manning is out.

Without even thinking I would take andre Johnson..BEAST there 6 qbs that will put up the same points as Rodgers,and if you insist on a qb that early take one coming back,rivers will light it up...

Dude the difference between Aaron Rodgers and say Phillip Rivers who may still be there in round 2 is a step. NEVER take a QB in the first unless you're sure he will never get sacked and knocked out in the first game. RB is the way to go and see if you can pick up a jamaal Charles who I got with the eight or even Roddy White is a better value in my opinion then I would come back with Megatron or Fitz in the second and look to get a Ryan Grant Blount, Ingram.Hihgtower, helu, Green-Ellis is a helluva pick up. Stay off Moreno and get McGahee you will be glad you did then go get Matty Ice

Foster or Rice is my clear number 1 due to leach add and mcGahee subtract

 

[HUDSON]

I'd go the next best RB.....there is a big drop off. I like McCoy A LOT if he's there at #7. Can't really go wrong with Mendenhall either. Guy is gonna get his #'s with Pitt...they are for sure run first team!

 

[NIEM36]

Well guys this is how it played out for me with the #7 pick. Took Charles, and then Mendenhall. what do you think of the team?

Any thoughts guys?

Hi, Niem. I will try to answer your question. First, who is D. Jackson (your #4 receiver)?

I like everything except your receivers at this point. I really don't see much upside in those guys. I think Ryan is sitting on a big year at QB - they have a wonderful schedule ALL season, including the playoffs, and consider him your #1 over Manning (by far). I think Charles and Mendenhall are excellent picks but you are one injury at RB away from having real trouble there. I don't know what your waiver situation is, but I would never go into a season with just three running backs, personally. Especially with Best getting his bell rung already this season.

I'd scour the waiver wire for running back possibilities, decide which WR is expendable based on the info you have now into the season, and grab another RB for sensible depth.

Good luck to you!

 

[NIEM36]

Desaun Jackson on the eagles is the receiver. I will check the waivers for another back

If you drop a wr I would drop Jordy, he is a good player but just stacked in depth chart.

 

[NIEM36]

Ok, I dropped Jordy Nelson, and picked up ryan terain. He was the best available.
