The point is moot. Unless you're picking 12th and take both of them at 12 and 13 it's not gonna happen because as soon as one gets taken, the other goes right after.

You're reaching for graham if you are picking him up early in the 2nd rd. I'd try to trade up to like 7 or 8 in a non-ppr league to see if I could get calvin in the first and then graham later in the 2nd.



Well I'm drafting 3rd in a 12 man PPR league snake draft.

So my slots wioll be 3, 22, 27......

It is possible that I could get Gronk and Graham at 22, 27.

If you do this you put everyone else in the league in a bind for TE's.

What leagues can you start a TE in a WR slot? Every flex I've seen is only WR or RB. Not TE.

No way Gronk is available at 22. Graham will probably be gone as well. I think Gronk will be gone at the end of the first and Graham is gone by the middle/late 2nd.

And to wegotwod, yes a flex with TE is probably done half the time.

Take Graham. Gronk won't come close to his production from 2011.

There is no point in taking both imo. You take 1 early because they offer such a hugh advantage at TE. Yet, you eliminate some of that value by playing one at the flex spot. I think you would be better off drafting a guy like CJ2K, Andre Johnson, White, Fitzgerald or Ryan Matthews.

Graham is significantly safer play than Gronk being that he is the only TE and by far Brees favorite target

Maybe but Gronk put up better numbers last year and most experts have him better this year. And the fact is he is taken higher than Graham in most drafts. It doesn't really matter what you value him, it matters what others value. Neither are going to be available in the 3rd rd unless it's a 10 team draft.

I'd take both, start both, and if someone needs a TE, i'd take a ransom. If you can get both, you have so much leverage in trading. you could get anyone you wanted. The drop off is so huge
