warning - Danger Ahead
- Thread starter Miller
- Start date
Dalton. Switching to a run focused offense
Well , since he's being drafted on average in the 11th rd.....not sure that he is being drafted highly. However, it also shows that most everyone agrees with you that he will come back to earth this year.
QB:
RGIII - just going a little higher than I am comfortable with. Too much injury risk for me at a 6th rd price.
RB:
Zac Stacy - at a 3rd rd price I am not in the bandwagon. I think Mason eats into his carries and may even take over at some point. I will stay away.
Montee Ball - this one could make me look foolish, and I am not convinced he won't have a great year....this one is just all about value. His current price tag is the end if the first and 8th rb off the board. Just too much risk for a guy who failed to get going as a rookie. The opportunity is there, but there is just too much risk to burn a first on him IMO.
WR:
Percy Harvin - 4th rd for that injury history? No way.
Will add more later

Revvin' for Seven!!
Knowsho Moreno - hurt
Marshawn Lynch - not going to get the work he did last year. And via Jamey Eisenberg of CBS, over the last 10 years there were 27 backs who had 400 total touches in a season and only five improved on their fantasy numbers the following year. Christine Michael will play a bigger role this year. Get Eddie Lacy instead.
Frank Gore - old at 31 and there are 4 RB's already on the roster, and then SF added Carlos Hyde. Guys like LaMichael James and Kendall Hunter will likely play a larger role this year too.*
I'll draft them but not anywhere near where projected.
* Above advice from Pro Forecast magazine
All right, that's about all I know until football preseason games start.

I agree on RGIII, by all reports he is looking good, but the O-line still scares me.
Stacy I love, but Mason scares me, and I think they pass more this year.
Ball, I think is solid, and will do very well. I agree though he is going really high.
Harvin is intriguing to me. I have seen him drop in a few Drafts. Not many though.

Lynch - If you have to claim you are the face of a franchise then you're not. Hell he can't even FACE the press. This is the year of the fall, and enter Christine by mid season.

I wouldn't take Frank Gore in any round but the last few, and that's the absolute truth. He will be a wasted pick this year. There's one of these old RBs in every draft that breaks hearts.
It was Sjax last year, it's Gore this year.

I have to agree about my boy Frank this year. He's a warrior but he has definitely lost a step the last couple years and while they won't become pass happy, the offense will evolve from the ground and pound into a more open one. Add Hyde and Lattimore to the mix and Gore will probably not get more than 200 touches this year.
The other guy I am not drafting as early as his ADP is Bernard. Maybe I am missing the boat here, but the Bengals didn't use a 2nd rounder on a RB to let him sit on the bench. I like his talent and situation, but I think it will be a little more of a time share than people think.

Yeah, I'm not drinking the Bernard Kool Aid either. The law firm is still there, and if I'm calling the plays, I'm gonna squeeze every last mile out of those tires and let him take the abuse while preserving my young franchise legs. Total committee here and Bernard likely isn't the TD maker
Expectations in Cincy are Law Firm will be gone once camp wraps up. They will time share the Rb slot, but Bernard does have the dynamics to score from anywhere and will be a big part of the passing offense. Still though, i agree i am not with the high slot Bernard will take to get him.

Why would they straight up cut Ben Jarvis? It's not like he has some terrible contract or can't serve a purpose.
