    Denver fan?

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



    I was trying to be crafty.... And I knew that the Gronk would be availabe on my pick 11 - Yes, PPR
    Based on who's the QB (Sanchez) now in Denver, Thomas would have been available by the late 2nd round.

    You screwed up...lol.

    In PPR I think the obvious 1 is Brown.

    I did get the Gronk though, and I am pretty happy about that
    There you go! Still not a bad 1-2.

    Don't know. Palmer is older (and hasn't had many full seasons), Fitzgerald is fading and there wasn't any real significant signings. Although I believe they will be in the playoffs.

    The O-line was able to keep Carson healthy last year and they added Evan Mathis to the line. Fitz may be fading but he'd still be the #1 receiver on most teams in the league. The D added Chandler Jones and Nkemdiche in the draft. Despite the pre-season uglies, I think they'll be better than last year's team.

    Well out of 32 teams, maybe Fitz would be number one on San Francisco or Cleveland, but many other teams first receivers rank higher. Fitz is clutch, but as of late can't get open a lot. Palmer is fine in the pocket, but I know the coaches cringe ever time he gets hit hard. He's been durable enough with the Cards though. And with the 7th hardest schedule in the league I don't think they will beat 13 wins. Maybe 12.

    I'm betting Gabbart wins it, but won't be surprised if Christian Ponder finishes the season as the starter.

    you're seriously gonna pick a QB with your first pick?!

    No QB in 1st round...

    Hopefully Gurley, Brown or Peterson will still be on the board when I pick... draft is on Sunday!
    Wish me luck...

    coming from a vikings fan....I'd skip on Peterson. I am betting he is a bust this year

    Going with this. I wouldn't touch Peterson till the mid second round. There a lots of young RB's out there who will touch the ball alot and be on the board in the later rounds. Danny Woodhead will be utilized a lot again because San Diego can't stop anyone from scoring or Theo Riddick from Detroit because they will usually be playing from behind. Both can likely be taken in the late late rounds.

    coming from a Vikings fan...I disagree. AP is gonna go hard this year. Already seen him at practice a couple times...he will probably get injured at some point again, but I still think he'd be a solid pick...if he's available in the second round..def wouldn't pick him first round.

    I already had my 1st fantasy draft, got another on Monday. In the first one I picked 2nd and grabbed Odell Beckham JR. Unless you are picking up a top 3 quarterback I never draft a QB until round 5 or 6.
