Draft is in..

[3rtpaper]

We can keep 4 players at the end of the year at their draft position.

1. LeSeanMcCoy
2. Ryan Matthews
3. Andre Johnson
4. Doug Martin
5. Jermichael Finley
6. Stevie Johnson
7. Justin Blackmon
8. Kenny Britt
9. CJ Spiller
10. Rashard Mendenhall
11. Sidney Rice
12. Matt Schaub
13. Isaiah Pead
14. Sam Bradford
15. NY Jets D
16. Tim Hightower

I still need to pick up a kicker at some point but I figured i'd take a chance on Hightower before the start of the year (maybe he will get some playing time and would be a great 16th.

I was happiest with my 7-11th picks for potential keepers.. Mendenhall in the 10th as a keeper is pretty big if he recovered.

I know my QB's are weak but I'm willing to roll the dice there.. I missed out on Luck and RG3.

Thoughts for this year and going forward?

This is the best draft I have seen posted in here so far.

If MAtthews and MEndenhall come back in October (kinda big ifs for 100% healthy) your RBS are disgusting. I LOVE Martin this year, he's absolutely a treat to watch, very similar to Ray Rice.

Britt and AJ are also gambles, for different reasons, but are great where you got them. I wish Blackmon had a real QB throwing him the ball, but I think his talent will make up for how bad Gabbert is.

I could see Pead doing admirably in a starters role if SJax misses any time, and he would be a gem of a keeper at 13th round.

Blackmon, Pead, Mendy and Martin (he's going to do big things) are my guesses as to being your keepers for next year.

If Rice has a big first couple of games I would try to trade him for a QB. And if Hightower is still playing for SHannahan I would drop him just on principle (headaches suck)

Nice draft. A few gambles that could pay off in a big way. Where did Dalton and Locker go?

[3rtpaper]

Dalton and Locker went in the 10th right before I was going to pick them, I just missed out them like I did with RG3 and luck.. that was my big strike out.. luckily I looked things over and stole Mendy.

Britt and Rice are gambles I completely agree. But for the value of where I got them I feel like they had #2 WR skill if they can stay healthy.

I figure long term if I have my RB's set I can focus on top end WR's/QB's in the future.

Thanks for the analysis! REP

If Schaub can shake the BB status, you know that Foster will get him some TDs on YAC alone, and that if AJ stays healthy he can do special things too.

They just need a complimentary receiver down there, never been sold on
Walter or Daniels.

Looks good

My guess would be you keep McCoy, Mathews, Martin and either Mendy/Blackmon/Pead. Good Luck man!!!!

I just mentioned this in another thread, but Russell Wilson would be a nice scoop at the QB position If he's available. I really think he could be this year's Cam Newton.

Contract year for Schaub so I`d expect good things from him.

Bradford and Andre Johnson killed my fantasy team last year. Bradford was simply terrible and Johnson couldnt stay on the field long enough for me to get any points out of him. I pushed him waaaaaay down on my fantasy rankings this year just to avoid seeing his name on my IR list week after week. If he can stay healthy he is fantasy gold, but thats a mighty big IF! Good luck to ya.

Hightower could be a nice steal too. Right now, coming off his injury, the Skins still show him as their starter although people are talking about Helu alot too. Will be a good battle for sure. Definitely worth taking a shot at that late in the draft.
