[JustinCruise]

Ezekial looking really tough tonight against a great defense

 

[CHOPTALK]

Worth every bit of his adp

now that i have the first 2 picks of the draft i wouldn't mind seeing someone get hurt to make my decisions easier

Julio Jones injured his ankle....

Would you take him with the third pick before Gurley?

Would you take him with the third pick before Gurley?

With the third pick I would take whoever is left out of Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham. That's a no brainer as far as i'm concerned. Those 3 guys are your ultra elite.


4th and 5th pick i'd take Hopkins and AJ green, the tier 1 WR's. It's a little trickier after that as there is a huge dropoff in WR IMO. The next batch of them aren't worthy of first round picks.


Beyond that, if none of those players were available. I would 100% take Ezekial over Gurley. I would also consider David Johnson and Leveon Bell before Gurley.

I think going a little overboard on emphasis of WRs.

Some of of those guys you mentioned should never get picked ahead of Gurley or Elliot

In ppr they should. Julio, Brown, and Odell without question.


You could argue against Hopkins and Green. I'm assuming you're just talking about AJ green since you've said before you don't like him.


What hopkins did last season with his qb situation was mind blowing. Dude might end up as the #1 overall WR now with an actual quarterback

 

[JustinCruise]

In ppr you could take a guy like Danny Woodhead in the 8th round and he can produce the same as a first round rb. With even less risk actually, because you know he's getting his receptions.

8th WR don't hold a candle to a guy like AJ Green or Hopkins.

What about a standard league, non PPR?

Are RBs a bit more valuable?

yes

But with a top 3 pick in standard I would still go with Brown, Jones, or Beckham. Probably beckham #1 for standard

4th pick in standard and those 3 guys are gone I go with Ezekial

I'm in a PPR, I'm keeping Gurley over Hopkins.

Out of those guys you mention (Top tier WRs) only Brown and Beckham will be kept.....with the rest up for grabs.
(in my league i should say)

I don't know a thing about keeper leagues, so I can't argue with that

 

[JustinCruise]

what are the odds that both Dez and Romo make it through the year?

Both of these guys already hurt and we haven't even made it to week 1 yet

 

[JustinCruise]

Leveon showing off his ppr studliness tonight

 

[HarryCaray]

I like Green too but I think you're a little high on him.

Personally I have Robinson and Hopkins both above Green. Then it's not a massive drop to the next tier IMO.

On a slightly different note, I really like Marvin Jones this year...not that he's some big secret. Still think he's pretty much a lock to outperform his current ADP.

I like jones too. He could end up #1 in Detroit

Only one in my book that I would take before Gurley is DJ.

EE is close but too unproven, Bell missing 4 games really hurts his value IMO. Still a late first rounder but shouldn't be higher than Gurley or DJ. And I know how big of a stud he is.

 

[JustinCruise]

Two questions on my mind right now

1. What will hopkins do this year? is he worthy of a top 5 pick?

2. rank these guys and explain. Leveon, Ezekial, David Johnson.

Bell just missing 3 games now.

DJ is so interesting. the hype around him in arizona is nuts. calling him potentially the greatest of all time and the greatest receiving back ever.

but that schedule is tough, he is unproven too, and Chris Johnson/Ellington are there plus a lot of WR mouths to feed.

I'm really torn on that guy

I admit I could be too high on Green. But someone has to absorb all those targets in Cincy. I have hopkins slightly ahead of Green.
