I was thinking the same thing, but Odell and Lynch are a really good 1-2. Edelman and the two Bengal runningbacks are all okay that high. I'm guessing he drafted Ryan and Bennett too high. if i drafted anyone too high it was gio in the 6th but it's obvious why i would do that. ryan and bennett in the 8th and 9th is fair enough to me

Delanie Walker Eli Manning not a particular fan of this team. started off well enough but the cost of taking both a te and qb early-ish was felt. if fjax is in the starting lineup from the start you are in trouble. and even if gurley does or doesn't miss time you already have to replace one of him or mason in the lineup anyway. sproles isn't the answer with mathews and murray around

Even once Gurley is healthy, I also think Mason will be a good flex since he was a #1 RB last year. Delanie Walker, Parker and Garcon are all going to push for Vincent Jackson's spot, but he could be just fine there since the Bucs now have a quarterback.

I'm guessing he drafted Ryan and Bennett too high. if i drafted anyone too high it was gio in the 6th but it's obvious why i would do that. ryan and bennett in the 8th and 9th is fair enough to me Ryan and Bennett are excellent in the 8th & 9th, looking at the upside for both. When did you get Walker? Guessing later than Bennett? See, often people ask to rate their team? It's different than rating a draft. Sometimes people will wind up with something decent despite bad mistakes in the early/mid rounds. Juggs, gotta disagree w/2 Bengal RBs going that high in a 10-teamer. Hey, I could be dead wrong. Haven't done a mock since early June. I got burned alive last year by a few that were supposed to be starters. Was pleasantly surprised by some including Hill. But just grown very wary of RBs that aren't clear feature backs. A lot seems to go awry.

But just grown very wary of RBs that aren't clear feature backs. A lot seems to go awry. i got walker in the 13th. i'll have walker on a lot of teams this year and i didn't ask for a rate purposefully. i just want opinions. i generally trust my own drafts outside of those oddballs where things just go wrong for some reason (seem to get one of those every year). if anyone ever spent a decent amount of time on espn they would know that. for years now i have actually documented my results on a thread i make every monday so i hold myself accountable past the rate/opine stage. one of the added pluses is it really reduced the monday night "will i win" posts into one thread as i will actually answer everyone in there if possible and one particular bengal really made my year last year and helped make up for some of my mistakes. i loved hill last year. again due to hue jackson and his style. i ended up with him on 9/10 teams. all of those made the playoffs and 7 went to the ship game with 3 winning the whole thing.

my 7th round pick can be scrutinized most severely possibly. i passed up olsen for blount. but i was viewing blount as the last of the rbs i really wanted. if i am in the area to consider kelce/olsen and there is a skill player i like equally i will lean the skill player's way because, afterall, there is always bennett, walker, gates and witten for cheap

Yeah sorry it was VINCENT jackson, not his "brother" Fred lol.
Not that Fred Jackson wouldn't also be worth owning. He's the most resilient backup in the league. Seems like he's good for 8 points a week no matter what circumstances.

PACKDOG - I quite like your draft. It's not amazing but I'd be happy taking Hill in the 3rd. The only thing I'd say is as a .5 PPR ( not loads but still relevant) I'm not sure Lynch is as tempting as someone like McCoy who I think in PPR could be great this season. Likewise Forte and even Forsett. If Cruz is fit the ODB should be fine again this season. Grabbing Bernard was good in a PPR league and Edelman always nears 100 catches per season. I see no reason why not this season again irrespective of the QB scenario. In a 10 team league did you even NEED to draft a 2nd QB. I'f ditch Tannehill and just play matchup FF on Ryans bye week UNLESS you were gonna play matchups btw Ryan and Tannehill all season. Hopkins is great pick in the 4th/5th whenever he was. Again irrespecive of QB he'll do nice.
All in all a decent draft BUT I bet there is a team or 2 in that league who have totally nailed the draft bigtime!!!
