Poly IDP League 2011 - Official Draft Thread

[Ben Kenobi]

Cold wiz:

Schaub - QB1
Fitz WR1
Wallace - WR2
Peterson - RB1
MJD - RB2
Daniels - TE1
Maclin - Flex
Law Firm
Flacco - QB2

I'm gonna make my prediction. Cold wiz will be the champion this year. Good job Coldwiz.

[Ben Kenobi]

JR:

Tony Romo
Calvin Johnson
Wes Welker
De Angelo
Chris Johnson
Keller
Santonio Holmes

JR, interesting team. Strengths, WR, K, decent depth,

Weaknesses. Riding Tony Homo? Also, what are you going to do for RB2? But you have the god kicker so that's even better.

[Ben Kenobi]

Berz. Defending champion. Won't repeat this year.

Vick - QB1
VJax - WR1
Bowe - WR2
Dallas Clark - TE
Turner - RB1
Grant - RB2
Flex - damned if I know, Burleson?

Lots of holes here. Grant + Turner are not a strong RB tandem. Clart is strong at TE, but with a QB like Vick, you have to have some stuff to make up.

D is kinda weak, but this being Berz, is a perpetual strength for him. So I don't expect the same players to stay. You've got a challeng on your hands this year, Berz!

[Ben Kenobi]

Guy: Playoffs?! I'll be happy if we can win a game.

QB1 - Brees
WR1 - Jennings
WR2 - Jacoby Ford
RB1 - Cedric Benson
RB2 - Sproles
TE - Witten
WR3 - Devin "Hands" Hester

Strengths, Brees and Witten plus Jennings.

Weaknesses, RB, WR.

Even with Mike Johnson, this team isn't strong enough out of the gate. If Benson goes down, gonna be a tough road for the Brees boys.

[Ben Kenobi]

Mountain Goats.

Matt Ryan QB - Will he take the next step up?
Shonn Greene - RB
Le Sean McCoy - RB
Denny Woodhead - RB
Percy Harvin - WR
Andre Johnson - WR
Finley - TE

Well, another team I'm not sure I really understand. Nothing really stands out here as particularly strong. Jag is steady Eddie and will be a pain in the ass to pass for a playoff spot.

I don't even know that that means.

RB depth? I took CJ over AP because I've had the latter multiple times, and the former kicks my butt consistently. If CJ holds out, I'm kind of screwed unless Ringer comes through or Marshawn rediscovers his beast mode. Spiller as a pass-catcher/returner provides a baseline.

In general, your analysis seems to be based on whether or not a given team got one of the top 5/6 QBs. I didn't want to roll dice on a QB11 again, and even though I'm not a huge fan, I think Romo was a decent value in the third round. It wasn't my preference, but I've sucked in this league the past couple years and it can't really get worse.

[ColdWizard]

Does the commish have the power to adjust someone's roster for them while they are severely afk?

[-Jrabbit]

Yes.

Ask MRT sometimes. Let's just say I own Bryant too in the auction.

CJ is fine, but who else do you have? Marshawn? Ringer? Spiller? Look at snoopy's team. I'd take his RB5 over your RB2.

Look at you and Coldwiz. He got Schaub + Flacco and isn't giving up points to you anywhere. As far as I can see, (besides me) and maybe Berz, you have the weakest RBs.

[Ben Kenobi]

Playoffs - Coldwiz, Koya, Zopp and Jag.

According to yahoo - Guy at 144, Tuberski at 142, Snoop at 140 and Jag. At least for this week.

I think you understimate DeAngelo Williams.

At least I hope so.

[Ben Kenobi]

I think you understimate DeAngelo Williams.

At least I hope so.

I drafted him 11th in the FFZ league last year. That team still went 7-7 with Schaub as QB. And that was after trading Ray Rice. Won my consolation rounds to finish 9-7. Let's just say I'm not his biggest fan.

[-Jrabbit]

So your analysis amounts to: DeAngelo and Romo were injured in 2010, plus I just don't like them.

OK.

[Berzerker]

good job Rabbit

and Epw

and Jaguar, Snoopy, Slowwhand

team looks good

I recognize the names anyway

So JR disagrees with my rankings. Surprise surprise.
