I probably paid too much for Andre, but he was the best wr2 left at that point and needed him badly

Keenen had 10 or less points in 8 of his 15 games last year.

He had two great weeks b2b that accounted for 3 of his 4 TDs and 30% of his total yards.

That inconsistency is gonna kill you.

im hoping more of a mix of his 2013 season this year.

i think Stevie will take some pressure off him and he can run the routes. Hes been the star of their camp so a 3rd year bounceback is certainly possible. Im not comfortable going to battle with him as my #1 but its all i got at this point

Thx. Biggest mistake was not nominating Woodhead for $8. I really needed him to anchor my RBs til Foster comes back.

-Happy to get OBJ at ONLY $49
-overpaid on Cooks ab $5 but love the upside
-was expecting Adams to go in the 30s.. Was surprised i got him an the nomination price of $29 but ill take it.

Yeah that was good value where you got him compared to what guys like Julio and Green went for.

I am not even sure he's the #2 guy.

Woodhead was a win/win nomination. One of you/gyne was going to burn all your extra cash and the other was going to be left with a dismal RB situation.

Deals of the draft (in relation to prices off similar valued players)

QB- Wilson $12, Manning $14
RB- Lynch $46, Spiller $20, Gore $25, Abdullah $16, Stewert $16, Blount $8, really like Crowell at $4,
WRs- AJ Green $47, OBJ $49, Sanders $23, Tate $21, Maclin $16, Boldin $5, Hilton $33, Watkins $17, really like Cooper at $17
TEs- All went for right price, IMO. Bennett and Olsen at $14 and $16 are

YAP, you overpaid:

QB- Brees $23, Ben $17
RBs- Forsett $44, Miller $38, Bell $60
WRs- Can't really call Hopkins, Matthews, & Evans overpays since all went in low $40s. Adams $29, Landry $29, AJ80 $33,
TEs- Cameron $8, Ertz $5. Jury is out on Kelce for $18.

I stepped away when Jennings was nominated. I would've taken him for $7

Toula, trade me Ryan

I was in on Olsen and Bennett but stopped short of where they ended up. My last option was Kelce and I went in trying to get him at $15 and ended up at $18.

..and I wanted a volume target so I paid more for Landry. Even if Tate drops to 80 or so catches in 2015, I should get a combined 160-170 catches between the two. I wanted to get one of the Top 1-2 tier WRs but most of the prices were mid $40s and up so I jumped in on Cooper in an effort to get a potential stud at whatever price he cost me.

That was the first auction where I came away feeling like I didn't overpay for anyone, other than maybe Vernon Davis for 3.00 but I am factoring in Crabtree being gone and it's 3.00 so it doesn't count.

Wilson at 12.00 and Manning at 4, considering where other guys in that tier went, was pretty crazy. I think most people said if they weren't getting Luck or Rodgers they were only spending a few dollars. I had 20.00 budgeted max for a QB but would have paid 34.00 for Luck or Rodgers.

Yea, I like Kelce a lot. He just carries a tad more risk than Olsen and Bennett.

And it's either you pay the Graham or Gronk premium, get in on the Kelce, Olsen, Bennett tier, or play russian roulette with the rest of the TEs.

Yea, same here. Mostly due to luck though. I pigeon holed myself way more than I would have liked with "must-get" guys that were the last of their tier.

I was all-in on Cobb as the last WR1, Gore as the last RB2, A-Rob as the last WR2.

All of those stopped $5-10 short of what I was prepared to spend.

Wilson and Olsen were just products of placing bids b/c the value was there.

Brees $23


i might have screwed up nominating him early but my draft strategy depended on either getting him at $25 or settling for a romo/ryan type cheap.



Forsett was bad buy but hes gonna have a great year

GET HYPE

9News' Mike Klis said Broncos RB Ronnie Hillman is now the "1B runner behind C.J. Anderson."

Hillman has been electric this preseason, averaging 7.5 yards on his 16 carries. The hot start has allowed Hillman to blow past Montee Ball on the depth chart, and it appears he is in a position to steal carries from Anderson as well. Hillman has struggled before when given big workloads and lacks the ideal size to be a true feature back, but he is a great change of pace option who can rip off big chunk plays. If Anderson falters, Hillman has the talent to pick up the slack.
