Who are you going to get with your first pick? I'm 3rd so I'm guessing I'll either get brown, beckem or gurley.

    I'm going to try to do receivers with my first 3 picks this year. Going with a different strategy.

    dang your stoopid

    alwayz select kickers first....

    there ain't that many of them; they're rare!

    then, if Manning is available, select him; you'll be fine.


    (it's my evil plan, while he's picking up punters and long snappers, I'ma going to swoop in and pick up Tiki Barber and Megatron)

    I picked 9th, and I took Demaryius Thomas. Hoping I didn't really screw up

    You screwed up...lol.

    In PPR I think the obvious 1 is Brown.

    @musclegood_fatbad I'm sure brown was gone by pick 9.

    I did get the Gronk though, and I am pretty happy about that

    I've done that the last 3 years in 2 leagues and took 1st in twice in both and 2nd (actually on MFP) once in both.

    Yeah, he should be the #1 pick in most drafts in PPR formats I would think.

    Nice, sounds like you a great value for Gronk. Winner

    My very first year in FFL (1989), where we only scored touchdowns, 100 yard gains, and field goals/extra points, I picked Chip Lohmiller (K) from the Redskins since he scored the most points the previous year. I'll never forget that.

    Denver fan?

    If Gronk was available, that should have been your pick. Or Lamar Miller if it's a PPR league.

    Good pick. Especially since the Rams still need to preen Goeff as a QB.

    I was trying to be crafty.... And I knew that the Gronk would be availabe on my pick 11 - Yes, PPR

    Gurley is a beast. He's about as impressive as Adrian Peterson his first year.

    They have a decent team. Bridgewater is legit.
