Need Help, draft 5th - SpartanTailgate.com

VanWilder · 08-23-2007, 03:00 PM

Ok, I'm torn. We have an 8 person league (same guys for years), and this year I am drafting 5th.

So far, we believe the first four are LT, LJ, Steven Jackson and Alexander. Assuming any of those are available, I'll pick them. But, if draft goes like that, who do I pick?

We have an exta "flex" position, which can be another RB or WR, so most of us pick up a third starting RB. Also, you get points for catches at the RB position, which makes guys like LT, Westbrook, ect more valuable.

I was leaning westbrook, but i've been told i'd but silly not to take Gore. Anyone with any suggestions?

I would go Gore or Addai...both over Alexander (and maybe over LJ) considering it's a points per catch league.

I agree... Gore or Addai.. probably Gore though.

You'll might be able to get westbrook, parkert or another solid RB in the second round too.. 8 person league with a rb/wr flex position you definitely need to go RB/RB

Gore = monster

Ok, I took the advice here and picked up Gore # 5. I get to personally beaatch slap those of you who told me to do that, if Addai and/or Westbrook have great years, right

Here's the team (5th pick, 8 person league):

QB: D. McNabb (5); Hasselbeck (9)
RB Gore (1), R. Johnson (2); T. Bell (8); J. Jones (10); C Brown (14)
WR: C. Johnson (3) L. Fitzgerald (4); J. Walker (6); R. Moss (7); J. Galloway (11); T. Ginn (16)
TE: A. Crumpler (12)
K: A. Vinateiri (13)
D: Pitts (15)

I love 8 person league's, everyone thinks they have the best team. The guy who picked first has LT, and on next two picks, got Harrison and T. Holt. That one scares me.
