I have the 9 spot in a standard 12 man league.

I have a feeling that Andre Johnson and Brees will go ahead of me. If that does happen I will have the option of two of the three Gore, Turner, Jackson. I will put Rodgers in there just to see what you guys say.

If Brees and Andre do not go in front of me i will have to choose between S Jax and Rodgers.. (others).

What would you guys do?

I like what you are doing there.. let me debate it now..

Why Peyton in the 2nd when I can get Romo/ Schaub in the 4th? I can save my second pick for high quality rb/wr..

Moss?? You dont think he starts to fall off this yr??

My goal at 9 has been to go

1rd- RB
2rd- WR
3rd- RB
4rd- Romo/ Schaub
5rd WR/TE(top TE)

Looks like sjax will be ur best bet. Steady and no rbbc. Good 1st rd pick. All others will prob be gone.

I am thinking the same thing. I am not really big on Jackson, but he will be the best avaliable.. I just hate how horrible their O-line is. Plus side is theat he is in no RBBC like you noted. I am hoping that Tuner is avaliable. that would be golden!!

I dont like taking Rodgers in the first bc I feel that Romo/Schaub whom i can grab in the 4th is not much of a fall off.. I really dont like a WR as my first in the 9th position bc no matter who I pick I can grab an equally as good WR in the 2nd.

why do people do this? never go into a draft with a goal, or pre-determined positional picks each round..it makes NO SENSE

Honkus: I agree, I really dont like S Jax.

Toula, I have went throungh a few mocks with this template and it has resulted in pretty dam good teams. With that said, if i get to the 2nd and an excellent RB is avaliable im not going to pass because i have a "plan". Same goes for the 3rd-5th.

I know what u mean, but that just sounds kinda silly. There's nothing wrong w/ having a roadmap for your draft, but it value falls u gotta adjust

Generally I try to get 2RB/3WR 1st 5 rounds

What would you do in this spot? Say Turner, Gore is gone?

Rodgers if he's there, that's saying a lot bc I never draft QBs early

After the elite RBs are gone I'd just grab a sure thing like AR, instead of rolling the dice w/ a mendenhall or SJax

You should be n good position to pick up Mathews n the 2nd

I avoid SJax like the plague. Mendenhall, Greene, Rodgers, Brees, AJ are all solid picks here.

Would you Still grab Rodgers in the 1st if you knew you could get Romo/Schaub/Kolb in the 4/5 spot?

I guess I should ask you this because I am not big on a QB early either. Lets say Turner, AJ, Gore is gone and I dont want to go QB. what would you do?

CJ
AP
MJD
RICE
GORE
TURNER

That's 6 you are predicting to be gone. say Brees and Rodgers are taken, which is likely, then BOOM, you got AJ.

Moss
Stephen Jackson
Mendenhall
or Larry fitzgerald


But i think you have to go get the best qb available because the drop off i think is significant from top 6 or so running backs

Yes, but the top 6-7 qb's arent that far off from each other.

I kinda feel the same about Moss as I do S Jax.. I am just scared of him.

Here is to hoping I can land Turner or AJ
