Finally drafted my big money league. I studied as hard for this draft as I ever did for any exam.
16 Teams, 15 rounds, full pt PPR, keeper league where you can only keep 2 guys
1 QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 TE, DST, 2 IDP's
Keepers: Montee Ball (cost me pick #29), Keenan Allen (cost me pick #124)
QBs: Colin Kapernick, Jake Locker
-Reached on Kapernick earlier than I wanted but I didn't like any of the options at WR or RB. Oddly I'm happier to have landed Locker in the 12th. I'm a believer in Locker's ability, just not his durability. Kapernick is more of a safe bet. Glad I waited on QB though, was going to grab Cam in the 3rd but happy I didn't now.
WRs: Keenan Allen, Percy Harvin, Bradin Cooks, Justin Hunter, Robert Woods
-Freaking Percy Harvin. WHY, WHY, WHY?! Marques Colston would've looked so much better there. But I hated his value vs ADP, and Harvin was slipping. In a keeper league like this where so many top WRs are already gone before the draft starts, I swung for the fences in the 3rd. After that it went Cooks in the 4th, Hunter in the 5th. I like the upside of all my receivers, but so much risks taken there. Dumb.
RBs: Matt Forte, Montee Ball, James White, Latavius Murray
-I am banking on Forte and Ball both being top-5 RBs. I can suffer some fliers crash and burning but I can't have these guys under perform. White and Murray could both be keepers for me next year, but we'll see how things play out.
TE's: Jordan Reed, Ladarius Green
-More upside plays here. Reed is the most likely to gain top-5 TE status, Green is an outside shot and a good chance of being a keeper next yr, since I didn't take him until the 9th rd.
Kicker: Nick Folk
-Don't care
DST: Detroit
-This was infuriating. I was deciding between Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson. Bam, auto pick. [dang].
Defensive players: None selected
-We get to start 2, cans combined they can give us, if we're smart, 10 points a week. But I think this position is so deep, and I'm projected for around 110 pts which I expect to exceed, I'm gonna wait to see how my guys do first and just go without.
Thoughts?
