It isn't like if his consensus ADP was 10-15 spots lower he wouldn't have been a bust. He delivered like 6th or 7th rd value.

Saying he isn't a bust is like saying broadcast.com wasn't a bust because it should've never been valued at 5 billion in the first place. BUST

Patsfan proves yet again why he is one of the smartest dudes here

AJG is always a player I carried on my team but the qb has fallen in love with the TE lately and is now the number 1 red zone target.
I don't love him near as much as I use to. I would put Cooper above him maybe even cooks.

TE is hurt tho

and other weapons from that team last year are already gone

In general I steer clear of draft strategy conversations because so much of it is based on the customization of your league scoring, playoff format and how $ is dispersed.

I see your point...

It's always tough to say "so and so is undervalued" before the 1st preseason games, as momentum builds for the season, a lot of the undervalued guys become properly valued. Especially with how many reasonably intelligent people write about and analyze FF now.

I would say Ladarius Green is undervalued at TE though. He has top 3-4 upside in the Steelers offense.

Amari Cooper is very undervalued at WR, he lives next door to Derek Carr!

Moncrief is undervalued at WR as well, the Andre Johnson experiment is over and he is a physical freak with different talents than TY Hilton.

Brady is undervalued, I do think punting QB and getting him and then a Matt Ryan/David Carr type for 4 weeks is an optimal move. Thought this when Big Ben missed 4 games for being a rapist a few years back as well.

RB Latavius Murray is undervalued probably, but again by the time the season rolls around he may not be. RB is so fluid now, unless you are an elite talent they really don't let you touch the ball 300-350 times a season anymore.

I totally agree with every point you made except for Ladarius Green....his motivation or lack of it concerns me....

But from what I read, Big Ben is happy???and I love Moncrief this year with Luck healthy again...I had Moncrief last year on a couple teams that went south when The Colts lost their QB...had both TY Hilton and Moncrief on the same team....

If you look at his production when Gates sat out for suspension or was injured, it was pretty good.

And good chance Pitt leads the league in scoring this year if Big Ben stays healthy. Bryant is out for the year so he should get a lot of RZ targets. I'd rather take him than many of the TE picks that are ahead of him.

No clue about his motivation but being trapped behind Gates was probably tough for him.

Green could have made a huge jump last year but he was also hurting...taking a risk with picking green but the reward is worth the gamble....if he stays healthy you will have a top TE...especially with Big Ben..there are only 4 or 5 TEs that I would select before Green..

I know L Green personally . I don't know why you say he is not motivated . He is very motivated. I love that pic.
Hes very undervalued

I'll bet you $1 that AJ outscores Cooper and Cooks

Too talented to go out like that and a massive blow to the Steelers....

I was going to use him as a sleeper, the league is treating concussions serious now.
