Megatron almost always goes top 7 but, I've never seen Stafford go in round1. Doesn't really seem far fetched to get both.

In a 10 team or greater, (which is what most leagues are) yes it does. Having both of them falling to pick 10 is ridiculous. Then again, maybe he's in a 6 team league or something. I like to be in competitive challenging leagues, so I would almost be embarrassed if I was sitting at 10 and was able to get both Megatron AND Stafford.

This isn't last year's drafts.

I'd start Torrey Smith over both Colston and Antonio Brown this year.

Not in love with the WRs, but I plan on using a RB in my flex most weeks.

Sorry I don't think it's far fetched to get Calvin at 5 and Stafford in the mid second.

I was going to say that you should use some of that RB talent and trade for some WR help. Steve Smith as your top WR is way too risky.

I do. Do people not understand just how good Stafford is?? Last years stats was just a preview of whats to come. - and last year he was right there with the Rodgers/ Brees/ etc etc, the TOP QB's. I can't even imagine the numbers Stafford would put up if they actually had a legit WR2 across from Megatron. He'd break all the NFL single season passing records.

Yeah, there was a run of WRs right before my Smith pick. Four of the five previous picks were Jordy Nelson, Julio Jones, Hakeem Nicks, and Brandon Marshall. I would easily take any of them over Smith.

I'm also working on a trade that could net me Torrey Smith from someone for a RB or two.

Ideally, Jennings and/or Redman have real nice openers and I can trade a short term RB for a decent long term WR.

Yeah I understand it. He was on my team last year. Do you understand that some people don't draft qbs in the first rounds? Ive seen Stafford go late first, early third, and mid second. It's not that far fetched for him to fall 5 picks.

It's a shocker but, not everyone's board is the same as yours. Like me for example, I wouldn't take a qb in the first 2 rounds. Different doesn't equal wrong.

Whoever got him in the early third really lucked out.
If it's a league where QBs only get 4 points for TDs, you usually don't see more than 3-4 QBs go in the first round. It's not that crazy that he would fall into the middle of the second round.

I agree, he got lucky getting him in the 3rd. Just goes to show that players can slide down the draft board.

Hedden93, why three TEs?

Does your flex option allow for TEs?

Honestly, I just screwed up. I should have drafted another RB instead but Witten was available for only 2 credits so I went for it. I figured at least this way I'm absolutely set at TE plus I won't have to go against someone who has Witten. I already regret it. I'm trying to trade one of my TE for another RB.

10 team league. I could have had McCoy instead of Rice, but got Rice because I had McCoy in my other league.

[DangerousBoy]

This was a 14 Man league, only real difference between the default:

3rd Round 36th Overall Trent Richardson, Cle RB
4th Round 49th Overall Ahmad Bradshaw, NYG RB

7th Round 92nd Overall Michael Crabtree, SF WR
8th Round 105th Overall Brandon Pettigrew, Det TE
9th Round 120th Overall Packers D/ST D/ST

12th Round 161st Overall Garrett Hartley, NO K
13th Round 176th Overall Dustin Keller, NYJ TE
14th Round 189th Overall Michael Floyd, Ari WR

(He has looked good, and I can afford hoping he's a sleeper after he returns from his suspension)

[swimmer1116]

14 Team League. Picked last.

QB: Eli Manning, T. Tebow ( Waited way way too long to get backup QB and really who knows what will happen in NY)
RB: Forte, F. Jackson, J. Stewart, P. Hillis, E. Royster
WR: V. Jackson, P. Garcon, D. Moore, R. Randle, M. Sanu
TE: R. Gronkowski, C. Fleener
K: Henery
Def: Seattle

I feel like I got a bunch of base hits but not a lot of star power
