checked ADP on Nelson..5th round
still stand by 13th for deck
I think the 5th is a good spot for Nelson, considering he has all but taken over the #2 in that offense.
I respect your opinion for Decker, I'm just saying I can't see him falling anywhere near that far. A lot of people are very high on him. I've been seeing him go around the 8th in about the 20 or so mocks I've done.

what, you got McCaffrey and Jurevicius...draft away
Peyton Manning made Austin Collie relevant.
Decker caught 44 balls and still managed 8 TDs, while Tebow complete 46% of his passes last year. Tim Tebow completed 126 passes last year. 1-2-6!!!!
I watched a lot of Bronco games; Decker was able to get by defenders both underneath and deep. He's not some scrub white boy. If he can stay healthy, he'll be a 70 catch guy with Manning.

guys like collie are the reason people are penciling decker in for a big season "oh manning and has made white guys look good before, and look what this guy did with TEBOW. Pro Bowl!"
I think Thomas is a better talent.

if Decker hadnt done anything last year then I think you could say that. But he was their most consistent WR all year. I think that counts for something. I think Peyton will look his way often.
But will agree with part of that though. I think a lot of people are expecting the same offense that Peyton ran in IND. But its going to be different. No doubt.
Thomas no doubt has more talent. I think Decker may be the guy though to look at week to week, esp in PPR.

. when the last time a caucasian WR over 6'0" has done ANYTHING of note?
I see were Brandon Stokley is listed at 5'11'' but whatever. He still managed to catch for over 1,000 yards and score 10 touchdowns back in '04 with Manning at QB. I know, I know, totally different situation in terms of talent at the WR corps but it just goes to show what Manning can do with an average WR or a scrub white boy, whatever you want to call him.
I really like Thomas but that guy has had some problems staying healthy. Its been tough to get a real gauge on how much these Denver WR's are gonna go in an auction draft. So far, they haven't gotten much attention. I've only done three mocks though.

24 of Deckers 44 catches were from Orton

You can't go on stats for Denver WRs. When your QB is 4-16, WR stats are going to suck.
Main reason for me liking is Decker is that Manning wanted the Colts to draft Decker two years ago. Must have seen something he liked

So you are telling me if Orton started all year he would have caught 80 balls?
the last time Orton started all 16 games in Denver he threw 541 passes. Had he thrown that many balls last year, and at the same rate as he was to Decker, Decker would have caught 83 balls.

I'll grab Decker after Maclin, Desean and Steve Johnson start coming off the board.

That's a good spot IMO.

I'm going to try and grab him for my WR3. I kept Megatron and Julio. So I'm going RB, QB, RB, WR unless things change.
Supposed redraft league turned into 2 keepers this year and 4 the following

Pretty sure a big part of it was his wonderlic score. I think it was near perfect. Combine that with precise route running and Decker is set to blow up this year. I think in PPR you go Decker > DT but in standard league its probably a push.
Thomas is just such an athletic freak I can see him catching stuff underneath and then breaking a tackle and YAC'n 60 yds to the house

I think Thomas is the better grab only because teams may start to play Decker similar to Welker.

The Welker who catches 100 balls every year?

Yeah
If Decker is going to play in the slot I could see teams actually keeping him contained and not allowing him to go crazy. He's going to play ball similar to Welker, and since he is in fact not Wes Welker...He shouldn't be expected to put up the numbers.
Manning likes to throw it outside(Wayne). I'd rather go after Thomas knowning that if he could string things together he could be a legit threat.

Decker is more like Wayne than Welker
