ezekiel elliott

I did my first mock tonight and he went at the beginning of the 2nd round.

We drafted last night and he went beginning of the 2nd round as well.

A 2nd round pick for a minimum 4 games

Numbers I just looked at have his ADP in the second round. Don't think we find out about the appeal until after the third week of preseason. That's when my league drafts. I've been thinking about if I would take him if he is there in the second. I haven't decided how I feel yet.

I misinterpreted that you were saying a 4 game minimum suspension. My bad.

depending on how your season goes you get him from weeks 8-12 and don't make the playoffs. I'd rather draft a guy in the second that can help me all year not just after week 7.

Was my exact thought. He wasn't there when I drafted in the 2nd, but no way I was taking him there.

Elliott isn't worth a 2nd rounder. Too much uncertainty. To me, if he falls to the 3rd and you can afford to take him there, that's when I would do it. Still a risk, but for a guy that would have been a sure fire 1st rounder if not for this black cloud, a 3rd is worth the risk.

it's unreal he's still in the second round.

How is that possible?

every mock I have done someone grabs him in the second.

I still think there's a good chance the suspension is reduced.

lol. Ask them if they have an open spot for next year. Easy money.

Even when he comes back in week 8, what kind of shape will he be in? He can't practice with the team can he?

I guess that will go ti show what kind of player he is, but come. It's not like you are talking about 3 or 4 months here.

I'd take Elliott half way through before a guy like Delvin Breaux who hasn't seen action or worked out in--hell, how long exactly? If Zeke is in that spot, with no preseason games or workouts, no way I take a flier on him.
