[Jaguar]

Help! Help! the WRs are going! Get 'em while they're hot!

Well, if I had to wait through another 18 picks before getting my RB2 @#60, I'd be encouraging continuation of the WR run too...

But I guess LT alone is pretty much like having 2 RBs anyway...

[snoopy369]

Eh, jag's nearly using my strategy from L1. Load up on WR, because that's where the money is in catch leagues.

... except that I had ronnie brown as RB2 before I loaded up

[Zopperoni]

Don't forget that he was looking to trade LT

[-Jrabbit]

We talked, but ultimately his asking price was a bit steep for my taste. Big props to Jaguar for following through with the discussion, though.

At this point, there are still 3-5 viable RBs left, but I was a bit surprised he didn't take one here.

[snoopy369]

Given most everyone has 2-3 RBs at this point, and relatively few of us are looking for an RB, it's probably reasonable to take 2 WRs (both of whom will be starters, if he starts WR at the wr/rb slot) who are both high quality players, rather than the RB that is a much lower quality player.

But that's the curse of picks 1 and 10... (and 2 and 9 to some extent). You often have to take a much more aggressive strategy, especially faced with an unusual run on a position [like QB here].

The LT trade will not happen by the way I think Jag remembered what happened the last time he traded me LT (last year)...

[-Jrabbit]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the Driver-Colston picks. Far from it.

The one time I did it, I loved drafting from the 10 slot. I've never drafted from the #1 slot.

[snoopy369]

Oh, i was just trying to have draft strategy conversation

Duke, Duke, wherefore art thou Duke?

[-Jrabbit]

I sent DOY one of my patented with-link PMs

I can totally see the 3-WR strategy, especially being the first to draft a third WR while most others have one. It'll be interesting to see what's left in RBs at the end of round 6.

[SlowwHand]

Can we start making bets on Duke's pick?

[snoopy369]

In a catch league I generally would expect the 3rd player to be a WR. Particularly in a small league like this.

[SlowwHand]

He has RB, QB, WR, TE, but I wasn't suggesting we bet on his past.
I'm talking about his next pick.

Whattya got?

[SlowwHand]

A $1.68 is all I can scrape together at the moment, but I think I'd put the whole wad on, well it's the top 2 rated I think, and I'd go with a some proven commodity.
