two defenses in the first 10 picks?

 

[slikpulla152]

^^i didn't see anything wrong with it... I was surprised to still see the dolphins cause defenses started flying off the board around RD7. They should be a first choice for owners

 

[nealdrox]

Ok picks always depends on how the pts are always set up in the leagues. As far as 2 defenses that early no lol. Unless it Bears or Ravens do not pick them earlier than 5 maybe 6. After those 2 are gone the rest of the D's are pretty much the same when it comes to point production.

 

[Jagger69]

Palmer would be my choice but the other 3 QBs are in the same tier, however, so I don't think you're going to see a wide variation in performance between any of the ones you mentioned. I would say Peyton is in a tier by himself. And always draft defense and kickers last.

 

[Christmas_Ape]

I'd pick Palmer too. And yeah, unless you're pickin the Bears D, you wanna wait later in the draft. But your picks are ok I guess.

No dude. Being a homer is death in fantasy football.

:eek:

In this case it's a good idea to be a homer... Tom is a solid top 3 QB in my book. He was very, solid last year with Reche Caldwell as primary WR.

This year:

D. Stallworth
R. Moss
then you get to Caldwell, Gaffney etc

Who knows how big Tom's FF impact will be this year...? :eek:

Oh no you got me wrong. I agree that Brady is definitely in the top 3 (or maybe 4). I'm just saying that usually when you pick a favorite player to be on your team he either sucks or ends up injured or something. Sorta like a hometown curse. Just my experience. Maybe you have fared better.

Stallworth has never lived up to his hype and he can't stay off the injured list. Moss is a huge risk for anyone so we'll have to wait and see. I do agree that the receiver corps has a chance to be much better than in recent years. We'll see.

 

[slikpulla152]

this is actually my first year in fantasy football but speaking of "homers" T.O. went second overall in my draft... :laugh:

Unless your league gives out a lot of points for passing yards or thrown touchdowns by the quarterback there is no way anybody should pick anything other then a running back for the first two picks. In most standard leagues you shouldn't pick a tight end that early either and with the defense you should wait until the very end. In fact most people can wait a lot longer to pick a quarterback than they think and end up with something decent.

 

[slikpulla152]

i see... but what rd should a qb be looked at because after round 3 we were looking at:

Hasselbeck
Young
Rivers
Romo
Roethlisburger

Romo/Rivers may have been worth the wait but... are these QBs FF producers?

 

[slikpulla152]

i was helped by a few people who picked rookie qb's in the first round.

rookie qbs as in Brady Quin, J. Russel.... :rofl2: or Jay Cutler, V. Young :rofl:. That's fucking unbelievable... in RD1! These sound like little kids.

The only stupid thing to happen in my 1st couple of rounds was T.O. 2nd overall pick. :crash:
