I got the second pick in my fantasy draft
« on: August 30, 2007, 02:28:55 PM »
Obviously LT goes first, who should I take? I have not felt like doing a whole lot homework this year, I have to cram this weekend actually cuz the draft is Monday. Anyway, any suggestions?

Steven Jackson.  Last year he had 1528 rushing and 13 TDs and 806 receiving and 3 TDs.  Huge numbers.  Barring injury, he should be even better this year. 

I pushed LJ down the board a bit, because backs who have more than 400 carries in a season often have a significant drop-off the following year.  SA is a TD machine, but coming off an injury.  I really like Gore too, but not as much as Jackson this year.

I am leaning towards Jackson. Larry Johnson has a huge upside, but Jackson seems more dependable, second pick kind of sucks this year.

Frank Gore slipped to 8th in my buddies league earlier today, he just called me and told me he got him in the 8th spot. I couldn't believe it. What do you guys think about Steve Smith? He kind of sucked last year, but he is healthy again and he had a great 2005 season. I think he might slip to me on the way back, RB's go fast in my league and it's only 10 teams. Would you guys rank him second behind Chad Johnson? If not, who else? I am not too excited about any WR's this year.

Reggie Wayne has mad skills. I wasted no time grabbing him in the third round.

I like Steve Smith and Reggie Wayne a lot.

I think T.O. might be a pretty good pick this year also.

My rankings are different than most people, because I don't include Dallas Cowboys, but I have them ranked:

Harrison
CJ
Holt
S. Smith
Wayne
R. Williams
Fitzgerald
Driver
Evans
Boldin

I generally don't draft a WR before round 4 (12 team league).  I made an exception today, because I had the no. 1 overall pick.  Took Holt at 3.12.

Some good replies, thanks. Anyone got a good site I can get a decent cheatsheet from? I bought a new computer since last year and all my fantasy sites are gone. My draft is at 12:30 and I would like to go back to sleep for a bit if I could. I am not exactly prepared though :-[

I was hungover and I didn't do my homework, not really happy with my choices. We had to draft 3 QBs, 4 RBs, 5WRs, 2 Ds and 2 Kickers.
