malachicrunch Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 My draft is this afternoon. I am picking #5 in a 10 player league, snake draft. Who do I go with for my 1st pick? I like either Brees, Rodgers, or Manning there. Most boards suggest an RB, either Turner or Gore. I'm also slightly thinking Andre Johnson. Suggestions?

5wide Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I'd take Michael Turner. If I went QB, I'd go with Aaron Rodgers. I wouldn't consider a WR at #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Magic Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I went Turner at 5. If it's PPR go Andre, otherwise I'd go with a running back no questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Turner play a full season last year? I'm thinking both him and Gore missed some games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wide Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Did Turner play a full season last year? I'm thinking both him and Gore missed some games? He missed a few games. I'm thinking somewhere in the 4-6 range. I think Gore missed 2 or 3. I'd consider Shonn Greene if I knew for sure he would be the lead back in New York. The Jets ran the ball 607 times last season...that was 82 more attempts than the #2 team in the league. Even in a time share, he'll get lot of touches.

Blue Magic Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 He missed a few games. I'm thinking somewhere in the 4-6 range. I think Gore missed 2 or 3. Turner played 9 games and scored 10 tds... Gore missed three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malachicrunch Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 He missed a few games. I'm thinking somewhere in the 4-6 range. I think Gore missed 2 or 3. 4-6 is risky for 1st round pick. I think I'm going QB unless 1 ot the top 4 backs would get to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Magic Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 4-6 is risky for 1st round pick. I think I'm going QB unless 1 ot the top 4 backs would get to me. Mistake my friend......I got Brady in round 3 who is capable of having just as good of a season as Manning, Brees, or Rodgers. By drafting Brady in round three I also got myself Turner and Reggie Wayne. If you were the 8th or 9th pick a qb would be a good pick but at 5 in a non PPR, go Turner or Gore.

5wide Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Only 7 RB's had more 20-yard runs than Michael Turner...last year. He played in 11 games, but only had 1 carry in the week 15 game. So, in essence, he was top ten in the league in 20-yard runs and scored double digit TD's in 10 games. There's always risk, but if he stays healthy, I think he's the #5 guy. He may be higher than that. Plus, you can hedge your bets by getting Jason Snelling. But, if you want a QB, I'd definitely take Rodgers. His passing stats are equal to the rest and he typically tacks on a few rushing TD's that other QB's don't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy that missed 1/3 of the season scares me. I'm guessing PPR means points per reception? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wide Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Andre Johnson played 9 games in '07...that logic would have passed on 1575 yards and 8 TD's in '08. There are no sure things in football...injuries can strike anyone at any time. It'd sure be nice if you could move up to #4. There wouldn't be any decision to make then.

malachicrunch Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 In a mock draft right now. Got Ray Rice. Reggie Wayne round 2. Roddy White rd 3. So my quest for a QB is screwed up in this one. Rivers Rd. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was PPR I'd pick between Andre and Gore. Non-PPR Gore or Turner. I do not recommend a QB that early in Rd. 1. It would be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a mistake. I am now in rd 11 and have not picked a QB. Ready to pull the trigger in Kolb or Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
