DieselPwr44 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I got into a fantasy football league last year. A friend of mine had a league and had a member that didn't maintain his team and asked me(after about 4 weeks into the season) if I would take it over and run it,which I did. This Sunday, we will have our fantasy draft and we get to keep three players from last year. My team absolutely stunk last year because I had Mike Vick (who was injured) and really no one who stood out. I also have the #1 pick this year. Who (outside of Vick) do you recommend I keep? QB- Michael Vick Atanta QB- Anthony Wright Baltimore QB- David Carr Houston QB- Patrick Ramsey Washington RB- Ricky Williams Miami(Retired) RB- Ladell Betts Washington RB- Thomas Jones Chicago WR- Peter Warrick Cincinnati WR- Charles Lee Tampa Bay WR- Jerry Porter Oakland TE- Alge Crumpler Atlanta TE- Marcus Pollard Indianapolis K- Matt Bryant Giants DEF- Tennessee I was thinking : Vick, Crumpler and either Palmer or Tenn. def. ? Your opinions are wanted and appreciated.............DieselPwr44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiLfan Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 ricky williams seriously, i've got just one word to say regarding that list....YUCK! Tenn defense i'd keep, the rest you can toss up in the air pick whatever lands first and it probably wouldn't matter. possibly Ramsey if you want a backup QB to Vick...but who knows if/when he'll start.

JKonaP Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 vick, carr and thomas jones. the best of a bad bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shims3 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 vick, thomas jones, porter. you are just wasting your money if this is for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinder Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Vick, TJ, Porter. Look at RB Kevin Jones/DET with your first pick unless someone cuts a more talented RB or top 3 WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DaysLatr Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Crumpler and Thomas Jones. You really need to get 2 quality running backs in the draft. How many teams are in your league? BTW, I say Crumpler because their is a tremendous upside for him as long as Vick is healthy (which you are already counting on). If Crump pays off you will have a tremendous advantage over most opponents because past Heap and Gonzales the TEs really drop off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 that list looks pretty bad personally. Vick and Crumpler id keep, maybe the Tenn defense, but the Pats or Ravens or even Panthers would be better I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins19 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Can you ask for a do over? Otherwise Vick, Jones and Porter. Don't keep a defense, they are usually one of the last positions you want to fill. Hopefully someone good is left at #1 for your pick or you are going to be in for a long season.

DieselPwr44 Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Thanks for the input gang. I know this team stinks. But it gives me something to do,so what the heck? As for the suggestion of asking for a do-over, I agree wholeheartedly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty dread Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Vick, Carr and Crumpler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I'd say Vick, Crumpler and Jones. You might be able to get Carr back in the later round, if you want him. Sorry man, your team is really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 What about a sleeper pick in a later round for a WR? Would you gamble on someone such as McCants? Or a player like Cooley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardi gras skin Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Vick and Jones. And I'd pray that Gannon is pushed aside and Collins locks on to Porter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shims3 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 NEVER KEEP A DEFENSE, KICKER OR TE. That is just a waste. You can get quality at TE later in Gates, Witten, Graham or D. Clark. With defenses, there are lots of sleepers out there and Tenn is probably not even a top 5 D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfn Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 You said, "we get to keep three players". Do you have to keep three players? If you don't keep three do you get to draft extra. Some leagues allow players to not keep players and only they draft in the first rounds. Vick is really your only keeper. If you have to keep three then I say keep Thomas Jones and Porter. Good luck. Draft well, watch the waiver wire, and hang in there this year. Build your team for the future this year and you'll be ready to take over next year.

PersonsFan Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Crumpler and Jones. Other teams will be hanging on to the premium backs so you'll want to get the very best possible RB with your #1 pick, and keeping Jones gets you a potentially very good duo (although, again, it depends on which RBs fall back into the draft pool... but if you don't keep Jones you risk not getting any good RBs). For Crumpler, since you're also keeping Vick you have a potentially high-scoring combo as well as some good separation at TE (except for Gonzalez obviously -- note Heap got hurt last night and the extent of the injury is unknown). There is an argument for Carr because Vick might get hurt and then you're up the creek QB-wise. So take Carr instead of Crumpler if you are risk averse and want solid injury insurance for Vick (or, of course, potential trade value if you want to trade for a WR).

DieselPwr44 Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Ok...here's what I wound up with after the draft....... QB:Vick QB: Brunell RB: Dillion RB: Barlow(traded Thomas for him) RB: Bettis WR: A.Johnson WR: M.Muhammed WR: Calico WR: McCants TE: Crumpler TE: Kinney K: Hall Def: Buffalo/ Washington Do you think I improved over what I started out with?

SkinsNut73 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Nice rebound DieselPwr44...looks like you turned a REALLY crappy team (honestly, I don't think I ever saw one that bad on paper) into a respectable team.

DieselPwr44 Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Thanks SkinsNut73, I hope I'm at least respectable this year. I also would like to ask the board: Would you drop Kinney and take a chance on Cooley or is it too early to tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
