I was thinking no earlier than the 5th. How is everyone else approaching?

Kinda have to see how it goes over the next month or so. I'd probably go with him in the 6th if I felt really good about my other 5 guys. I would probably grab Meyers late. If there are other guys in 6/7 that I really like I will probably just roll with Meyers.

as of now...I won't....just like a holdout...won't stay healthy, will disappoint....like MJD last year

2 weeks before week 1....no one wanted him, then he reports and everyone kick themselves for not grabbing him in the 2nd when he fell to them....then six games later when he was done for the year...no one thought about it

Agree with this, the risk is just not worth the reward at this point for me.

It really depends on how fast he recovers and the type of league you're in. If a PPR, I'd probably go for him in the 3rd. If standard, perhaps late third or fourth. I think a ton of people will still reach for him just because they're really aren't that many elite TE's today. After Graham, you have Witten who gets catches, but seems allergic to the endzone. Gates can't stay healthy, Kaepernick and Davis aren't on the same page apparently, Gonzalez is a decent option, but I think most feel he's going to fall off at some point and who likes drafting a Falcon anyway? If Ponder could actually not suck, I think Kyle Rudolph could really blossom, as well as the rookies, Eifert and Ertz.

Problem is that many are going to have the same thought this year...

I'm just now starting my preparation for the draft, but off the top...I wouldn't think it's that crazy to grab him in the 2nd. In our league we have an option to run with 2 WRs/2 TEs or 3 WRs/1 TE so, getting him (given he scores like projected) would give you big advantage over others.

I think 4th at the earliest and that's in a PPR league. 5th in a standard league. With having so many surgeries it's a crap shoot. Luckily as stated by St. Aug you could take Myers as a solid back up in the late rounds. Past Graham and a healthy Gronk nobody at TE is a standout.
