re: TDFL Droppings Conference Auction Results

Value is perception. I

Reggie bush went for 20 something in this league

I think stafford returns $40 value w the new offense and weapons. Got him for $20. Some people probably would not have done over $15

I think Rudolph's numbers will be right there w the Julius and Cameron's. The latter were +$20 TE. I got Rudolph for $10 when the next guy may not have went over $5 for him.

Overpaying is only someone's opinion.

Not even close. Stick to LNSTxBL or whatever you play in.

Drafted a solid core 4 with McCoy/Reggie and Dez/Cruz. If Cruz can bounce back then he will be doing even better. Russell Wilson won't win you many weeks, but he also won't lose it for you. A consistent 20 points is all you ask.

Backup RBs are up in the air with Ridley and SJax; we just don't know what they will be. Woodhead was a great buy and I can see him be the early leader in the flex. Depth overall is questionable, but that is the price you pay to land studs like Dez and McCoy.

Went all in with the "big 4" strategy, though I think Ellington's price was steep at $31. But Ball, DT88, and Graham will all challenge the top players at their respective positions... Id say money well invested there. I like Big Ben for $3, you will see a solid return on his value as I believe he bounces back big this season. Im not ecstatic about Torrey or Twill as your next best WRs, but again, that's what you end up with when you go big. Bench is putrid with no upside.

Solid duo of RBs with Forte and Murray. Certainly paid the price for Brown at $47, but getting VJax at $15 softens that blow a bit. By all accounts, this is Cutler's year. I like Decker and Gore as depth.

I can see how you and I had the same strategy coming in. 3 solid WRs, bargain RBs. You picked up Luck and Julius at solid value and fill out a pretty decent starting lineup. If Luck airs it out and takes that leap, you should be in the mix for top 6 every week. You also got some cheap depth made up of possible breakout candidates. All in all, you did a good job.

DRAFT GRADE B+

You employed a different strategy than most; you spent the most money on QB and TE in Brees and Gronk. At their peak, those are guys who could win you weeks consistently. Alshon was a steal at $31, and of course Im high on Patterson, so I think you have a nice 1-2 there. Can't say that I can fap to Sankey at $15 at this juncture, but he could prove to be a valuable RB2. I like the value on FJax. Im deducting a few points from you bc while Sankey and Patterson could be great, we just don't know yet. But I recognize the upside. For that i will give you a

$91 invested in Rodgers, Brady, and Gio Bernard. I think Gio was a little steep in price and you basically wasted $11 on a QB you will never use and will be forced to trade. I don't think you can be excited with Harvin and Colston as your top WRs. You do have 3 pretty decent RBs, and along with Rodgers, may be enough to carry you. Spending big on a QB victimized your roster, though IMO. You do have some solid depth that could turn out if you get lucky.

DRAFT GRADE C-

I thought you would be fricked with the way you started out bidding on the RBs, but in the end you put together a decent team. RBs are obviously solid, though I think you would agree Morris' $27 would look better on another player. Nelson and Welker are solid WRs and good value for the most part. Newton will be your wildcard with the shitty WRs and OL along with his gimp ankle. If he can return to top 5 form, you will be great.

DRAFT GRADE A-

You were conservative with your money but ended up ok. You went out and got 2 1st RD RBs and paired them with 4 adequate, mid range WRs. That could work. Im not sure you want Rivers as your QB and I am sure you are already examining ways to get a QB for a WR or something. You do have 2 sets of WR from the same team, which can be worrisome. In the end, you did ok but I expect you to work some trades and form a final roster. For now, I give you

DRAFT GRADE C-

You went $100 on 3 solid 2nd round guys. Im trying to decipher who will carry your team, Im guessing Cobb. Bell was decent value compared to the other RBs, though i think Stacy was an overpay. Maclin as a WR2 has me worried, though you have Cooks waiting in the wings. I think $12 for Foles and Reed combined is great value. You have one of the stronger benches that's filled with potential. A few of those guys could help you down the line.

DRAFT GRADE B-

Terrible RBs. Maybe they can rebound, but I doubt it. Love the 3 headed attack at WR, all could be WR1. Along with Manning, they will put you in the running most weeks. If you can find 2 RBs to give you points, your squad has major potential.

DRAFT GRADE B

I dont thin you made out as bad as people were making out. Martin and Spiller were 1st RD backs a year ago, and Lacy has the makings of a stud. While Im not totally high on Flloyd or Sanders, a lot of people think they are the second coming. RG3 possesses that dual threat and looks good in the new offense, and Jordan Cameron could be a top 3 TE if the QBs can get him the ball. This is the type of team people rate low before the season, only to have it be legit later in the year. Giving you a C now with the potential for an A if those RBs rebound

Well said. Although I feel like I could make a argument that Andre Ellington at $31 was a good price based on what some other backs went for.

What's my grade if Gordon manages to avoid a lengthy suspension?

4 games?

8 games?

..and I was caught on Rodgers. My goal was to draft a group of good RBs and WRs. An additional $40 would have given me a top 5 WR.

If people value Gronk at $35 then Brady's value is far greater than the $11 I paid. I'll eventually part with him, probably after any news on Gordon to help shore up my weak WRs.

I mean, you are pretty much saying your season hinges on Gordon?

IDK, i guess he changes things if he comes back and his QBs aren't sucking.

I like the guys you got late and at the prices. Daryl and Dan could have made your team a lot weaker. Pretty shocking how passive they were. And that Dan left $13 on the table.

Add two of Fitz, Welker, Tate, etc. To Dans roster and he's looking powerful
