TV,
thanks for the reply. I'm pretty high on Peyton as well. Being that TD passes are 6pts which is 50% higher than the usual 4pts. I'm thinking of working out a deal with the 3rd pick so he can get LT and I'll pick up Peyton with the 3rd and possibly move up in the 2nd round and once more in a later round. Still a few weeks before the draft though
any more input?:toast:

FWIW, the yards per passing sort of balances out the extra points for TD's. In a lot of leagues , you see the 1pt=10 yards run/rec and 1pt=20 yards passing, and not the 1pt=40 yards, so there's that to consider.
Also, I never like to take a QB in the 1st round. The value that you pass up at RB is extremely difficult to make up later. In other words, the dropoff at RB is steeper that the dropoff at QB. I would rather have LT and the #6 or #7 QB off the board than Manning and someone who would go #18 overall, and the #13-#16 RB off the board, like a Julius Jones, Rudi Johnson, Tatum Bell or Lamont Jordan. Check out www.footballguys.com/05vbdrevisited.htm for a bunch of articles regarding this and the theory behind Value Based Drafting
Also, the year after Marino threw 48 TD's, he threw 30. I would be stunned if Manning throws up another 40+ TD season. The league had a whole offseason to see how New England clamps down on that Indy offense, and the NFL is nothing if not a copycat league.
LB,
I appreciate the info man. Yeah I guess that does even it out a bit on the yardage. I just have never liked the first pick in the draft and I feel that if I can get some value from trading down a couple of places then I should. I was offered a nice package to take the 3rd pick for my 1st, and then switch again in the 2nd round and 4th round (18th for my 20th and 38th for my 40th pick). So its looking like if I do that he'll take LT, 2nd pick will take Holmes or Alexander and I'll have who I wanted to begin with (Manning) at the 3rd pick and get some value as well.
