2013 Draft Analysis
See spoiler below for Draft Analysis
- Spoiler:
- Knights of Cydonia - First Three Picks: – A. Peterson (RB), D. Murray (RB), T. Smith (WR).
Adrian Peterson goes number 1- no surprises there. Having to wait 23 picks is a pain, but Demarco Murray can be pretty functional when healthy. Continuing with RBs, I feel Jacquizz Rodgers is very overdrafted in round 6 as I doubt he can function as a full on RB even if Steven Jackson were to go down. Kendall Hunter is the kind of guy that goes in a 14 team league and I think he can be functional, but I’d find it hard to thrust him into the lineup short of a lack of other options.
WR is relatively strong, and I imagine 3 will be fielded each week. Torrey Smith is the Ravens only obvious target, Decker should get a fair number of targets even as a number 3 option, whilst I always like Nicks until he gets hurt - though CFCNick has cover for that in Rueben Randle. Miles Austin in round 7 is also a tidy little bargain as the Cowboys are fantasy gold.
The Knights went late on QBs, taking the last nominal “starter” in Andy Dalton and following up with Jay Cutler. I actually think Cutler could be the better QB, but he will be sporadic which will put people off.
New York Bulls - First Three Picks: – D. Martin (RB), R. Bush (RB), C. Kaepernick (QB).
No kickers, no defences, but at last a QB. Mikeygnfl took his first QB of two drafts, making the surprising move of taking Colin Kaepernick as the top signal caller. I’m personally not sold on the idea, but Kaepernick can be dynamic and the rushing element adds very well to QBs based on NFL.com scoring rules so it could be a gamble that pays off.
I’m nervous about both Reggie Bush and Chris Ivory, but one has got to pay off and Ivory was good value at the time having taken a bit of a drop versus the other two 606 drafts. One of those guys will pair off with Doug Martin who again was an obvious selection at number 2.
The remainder of the New York Bulls is pretty intriguing. Josh Gordon and Justin Blackmon are both suspended to kick off the year, which leaves the team thin at WR, but with major upside coming from mid season by which point either could have exploded past their draft value. T.Y. Hilton, in my opinion is a risk as well this year - he’ll get points, but maybe not as many as everyone thinks after last year and I might even be more sold of Darius Heyward-Bey in terms of pure value.
The Bulls went rookie mad in the mid rounds, taking Le’Veon Bell who should be good when back on the field along with a trio of WRs and RB Stepfan Tayor who is a guy I wouldn’t have taken in a smaller league, but suits the 14 team format perfectly as I think he has a chance to get carries in Arizona ahead of Ryan Williams. The problem for this team is that if they stand a chance, it’s of coming good late in the year by which time they may be out of it.
Highbury Tankers - First Three Picks: – M. Lynch (RB), L. Fitzgerald (WR), A. Rodgers (QB).
SuperTanker spent a portion of the draft on auto pick, but in general it didn’t cause as much havoc as usual. The top trio of Lynch, Fitzgerald and Rodgers is a very solid base to work off and things continue in a positive vein through rounds 4-6 with Amendola (Brady’s only proven target to kick off the year at least), DeAngelo Williams (finally “the guy” for at least 5 games) and Stevie Johnson (the only real WR in Buffalo who will go as far as EJ Manuel takes him and no further). I figure Jordan Cameron is over drafted as a TE in round 7, though in general I think he could have a decent year.
I like Bernard Pierce in round 8 seeing as the signs are that he will be given some carries and I’m also quite high on Alshon Jeffery who I really liked coming out of college and could blossom in year 2.
He got a couple of “bonus” TEs in Zach Sudfeld (much to Olly’s announce as the next man up) and Brent Celek, but I don’t think either will be up to much. The Autopicking only really bit in round 12 and 13 when the now released Jonathan Dwyer and the broken legged Andre Brown were picked up, but all things considered I fell the team is quite solid, albeit with limited potential for diamonds in the rough off the bench.
New England Canaries - First Three Picks: – A. Foster (RB), F. Gore (RB), R. White (WR).
An alright draft from reigning champion Olly. I’ll start at RB where the starters of Foster and Gore are top notch once Foster gets back up to full speed. The team however struggled to draft the position in the later rounds, only grabbing Jonathan Franklin and LaMichael James. Out of those Franklin is the better “pure” runner, but has had a difficult offseason in Green Bay after high expectations. James is a bit like Jacquizz Rodgers as noted for the Knight’s of Cydonia in that you’ll never play him until the starter goes down (in this case it’s Gore so James is a handcuff) and even then I’d favour Kendall Hunter as the workhorse and James simply as a change of pace.
He’s gone for RGIII at QB and unsurprisingly he has been ruled fit for week 1, so things promise to be good if the knee holds up. Schaub is a sensible backup but you’d only ever play him once if things go well. I like the value at TE, since Kyle Rudolph is Ponder’s proven safety blanket and Coby Fleener is surprisingly under the radar given the hype around Andrew Luck.
I’m reasonably high on Olly’s wideouts too. Roddy White is always under loved, DeSean Jackson could be in for a boost in the new offensive scheme in Philly and having Vick as the (short term) QB helps his value compared to Foles and Greg Jennings was good value in round 7. Mike Wallace still has bust written all over him from my eyes, but I guess he makes a foursome who have some big play potential even if they may not be consistent.
Revis and Butthead - First Three Picks: – R. Rice (RB), D. Thomas (WR), A. Johnson (WR).
Aside from complaining about the duration of picks Pr4wn had a tidy draft. Ray Rice at 5 makes more sense to me than CJ Spiller as I figure he is more durable - speaking of which Pr4wn nabbed Fred Jackson in the mid rounds who will profit from a desire in Buffalo to not go over the top with Spiller. Bradshaw has a chance to get considerable snaps in Indy, though rushing won’t be a huge focus for their offence which concerns you a little in respect of an RB2.
Demaryius Thomas and Andre Johnson are a good starting WR pair. I think ‘Dre is a little underrated this year and provided he stays on the field he’ll get the yards and the targets. I like Emmanuel Sanders as well this year as a replacement in the Steelers offence for Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline is a nice value pick at the back end of the draft. Revis and Butthead are strong at QB, with Andre Luck who is a fantastic pick at 80th overall and Big Ben who provides solid points almost all of the time. It also helps that on Luck’s bye week, Roethlisberger plays Oakland and it’s shambolic defence. Tony Gonzalez obviously had a top year and I struggle to see him matching it, but the Falcons will be prolific and he will pick up red zone targets and thus will end up as decent starter TE.
BamBams Warriors - First Three Picks: – CJ. Spiller (RB), M. Jones-Drew (RB), D. Brees (QB).
BamBam has a good trio of running backs including the nominal starters CJ Spiller and Maurice Jones-Drew, the latter of which I fell will bounce back this year after a tough injury impacted 2012 offseason. Daryl Richardson is another starting RB who benefits from the lack of cutting edge shown by his backups in St Louis over pre season. Bryce Brown is a fourth stringer, but even he could have some value once we figure out what Philly’s offence will look like.
The Warriors took Drew Brees in round 3 which is a good pick given he’s the 3rd QB off the board and will likely score an absolute bundle now that Sean Payton is back. Sensibly BamBam ignored backups and focused on some late round gambles that could pay off big long before a bye week replacement is required up at QB.
Wide Reciever is nominally week, but contains a few sleepers later on. Garcon should do well to back up a 4th round slot, and James Jones will get points even as a third or fourth option in Green Bay as they spread the ball around and I’m not sold on them rushing too much even with their draft. Vincent Brown could be a gem as Rivers has little else to throw to and San Diego often throws the ball, yet with the wideout you can ignore Rivers tendency to throw the INT. Similarly the reviews on Cordarrelle Patterson have been positive and he could improve if and when Ponder does. Similarly at TE I like Jared Cook a lot this year and I think he has been drafted with good value.
San Francisco Trams - First Three Picks: – L. McCoy (RB), R. Cobb (WR), D. McFadden (RB).
I was happy to be reunited with LeSean McCoy this year as in my view the drop off from him is more pronounced. Alongside McCoy I nominally have a strong RB core in McFadden and Matthews - the trio would have all been possible 1st rounder’s last year - but there is a reason I got them in rounds 1, 3 and 5 which is the injury bug which bites them too often and is a big risk. After them Michael Bush is a TD vulture and would be a quality backup should Forte go down, but he’s not a guy you want to start regularly. I also picked up Jonathan Stewart once more, but at better value than in the Keeper league once I’d realised the extent of his ailment. I took some stick nevertheless, but in round 12 he has the potential to be a steal if he comes back and it’s not like anyone else at that slot would be reliable.
I think my WRs are solid if not spectacular. Cobb feels over drafted at #22, but that is where he goes and I’m more of a fan of Dwayne Bowe who should get some decent supply from Alex Smith. Mike Williams is another guy I’m happy to have, but you worry slightly about how much they may run the ball and how much of the remainder V Jax will get. I was surprised to see Tavon Austin available in round 8, so I took a gamble as he is a high pick starter.
As usual I was a little late on TEs and only landed Owen Daniels who I don’t expect to do that much, but I figure the rest of the value in the team makes up for it. I stuck to my guns and went late with a QB in Eli Manning. I worry about his INTs, but I think he is solid enough for my purposes. I also liked being able to nab EJ Manuel in the last round (I’m surprised nobody took a punt earlier) as he could turn into something dynamic and if he doesn’t I’ve hardly wasted a pick.
Prestige Worldwide - First Three Picks: – T. Richardson (RB), S. Ridley (RB), V. Jackson (WR).
Having scanned the lineup I’m quite a big fan of what Prestige Worldwide have got going on. They went for the late QB strategy but I figure Matt Stafford is amazing value at number 92 given he was going in round 1 last year and gets to throw at Megatron. I even like Sam Bradford as a sneaky backup - he won’t start off on fire, but he has some nice weapons who will develop with him.
The starting RBs are solid. Trent Richardson is a rare every down back, whilst Stevan Ridely should do well even though I’m not fully sold on how much New England will use him. In that respect it’s a short term plus that Brady has few proven targets to throw at as the run game should pick up the slack. Ben Tate will be a good scorer early until Foster comes back at full strength, but after that his value is tied to the lead’s back health. Isaiah Pead and Joique Bell are a pair of late round flyers and I don’t expect much, but I guess it is worth a punt.
What I like the most is the WR group. Vincent Jackson in round 3 is fabulous value given he went very early in the keeper league. I like Antonio Brown due to the lack of much else that’s proven in the Steel City, though others are less sold on his ability. And for round 5 value and a possible flex spot I feel you can’t go wrong with Wes Welker. In addition, I’m a little down on T.Y. Hilton this year which is why I love the Darius Heyward-Bey pick in round 11.
Uncle Petes Adderral Stash - First Three Picks: – J. Charles (RB), J. Graham (TE), V. Cruz (WR).
Cherries started the draft on autopick and that, plus the subsequent double dip on QBs puts a little bit of a downer on his roster. Naturally having the choice between Brady and Wilson is a good thing, but until I see what value he gets in return for one (likely Brady due to a Seattle love in) it’s hard to judge the move as more than overdrafting a second QB “early” for player fandom reasons.
Charles is a strong RB as expected from a first round pick, but it goes south pretty quick on the running back side of things. BenJarvus Green-Ellis should start the year on a decent footing but I’m part of the massive Gio Bernard fanclub and I expect the Law Firm to lose carries and value at a rapid rate as the season progresses. Likewise I’m high on Ryan Matthews, and provided he doesn’t get injured I feel the value of Danny Woodhead is reasonably limited. After that it’s Denard Robinson and he frankly doesn’t count as anything but a gimic in the short term. The fact your looking to start one of these week in week out would worry me.
I like Antonio Gates as a late round TE, but given Jimmy Graham was taken up top it seems like a little bit of a luxury. However in round 10 you generally find little quality, yet Gates is a known quantity who is comfortable in his system and the top safety value for his QB. In that sense I like the double TE system seeing as our rules allow TEs in the flex. It truly means you benchmark Graham as a nominal WR. Victor Cruz should have a nice year again, but not drafting a wideout again until round 8 is a little risky. It further strengthens the two TE idea.
Suck My Vick No Romo - First Three Picks: – C. Johnson (WR), B. Marshall (WR), P. Manning (QB).
A very intriguing set from GSC coming out of the autodraft. The standard autodraft issue of mandatory special teamers in rounds 8 and 9 is a dampener, but it is nothing when compared to the utter crisis at RB. The teams nominal starters are Issac Redman and Ronnie Hillman and basically I shouldn’t have to say anymore. In fact its incidental that individually the pair are both overdrafted and the CPU was only doing it to meet roster rules as it hadn’t taken any backs prior to the point. After that it’s another trio of backups in Shonn Greene, Mikel Leshoure and Toby Gerhart… its fair to say this didn’t go well.
However given the dearth of talent in one slot, you have a nice collection elsewhere namely at WR. Megatron and Brandon Marshall are a fantastic pair of starters and a clear cut above the remainder of the league save for the Stormbringers who also doubled up outside to kick things off. In third you get Reggie Wayne who should be solid even if failing to live up to last years high standards. Jason Witten is a quality TE as well, and the QB is an ever reliable Peyton Manning with Josh Freeman as a backup. I guess the idea wouldn’t ever be to double up on DSTs, but that happened and both Seattle and Chicago are off the board and that’s another cherry on the top of a bad set of picks.
Tony Romo and Juliet - First Three Picks: – M. Forte (RB), D. Wilson (RB), E. Lacy (RB).
So Tony Romo is going home. I’ve always been a fan of the team name and it seems fit to return the namesake to the realms of starting QB. This is another team that has taken a gamble on a lot of young talent, with Eddie Lacy and Gio Bernard going in round 3 and 4 to cap off an opening quad of runners which probably leave the team in a pretty strong spot in what is nominal the hardest position to fill in a 14 team league. I actually prefer the pure value on Bernard, though I understand why Lacy goes higher. Either is a capable flex guy behind Matt Forte and David Wilson whose value has shot up with the injury to his team mate Andre Brown. Christine Michael went late as a complimentary fifth runner and likely won’t provide much early, but offers upside later on in the season.
Having taken the 4 RBs and then Romo, the wide receiver and tight ends struggled. I liked Rob Housler as a dark horse in a league of this side, but he is not starting calibre in reality until Arizona shows a proficiency for using the TE. Cecil Shorts should be okay at WR, but I’d favour Blackmon once back from suspension. Golden “It was an INT” Tate is again pretty average and then Kenbrell Thompkins is a total unknown to cap a trio off. Stephen Hill in round 14 probably provides better value than any of those listed, but he plays for the Jets so has other issues to worry about! It will be tough to field two with confidence each week.
Child Please - First Three Picks: – A. Morris (RB), AJ. Green (WR), C. Newton (QB).
Alfred Morris, AJ Green and Cam Newton are a nice trio to start things off, though I still feel Newton is a tiny bit overvalued despite his proficiency for TDs.
I like Jordy Nelson a lot, mainly because everyone is writing him off due to injury niggles, but the fact is he plays in Green Bay and I expect him to be Aaron Rodgers favourite target this year. Chris Givens should be half decent with Tavon Austin complementing him in St Louis so presents reasonable value. Kendall Wright didn’t show as much as I would have wanted last year, but he had talent and could take advantage of Kenny Britt’s proficiency for trouble and injury.
I have a little issue with Darren Sproles and Mark Ingram, mainly because they offset each others value giving yourself a weekly conundrum as to who will actually get the points. The likelihood is Sproles who is helped by the return of Shaun Peyton, but nevertheless it dulls Ingrams value. I like the TEs in Greg Olsen and particularly Tyler Eifert who has a chance to do well towards years end. I think the Packers defence is over drafted for an active draft participant in round 11, but I guess I should let a Packers fan off…
The Stormbringers - First Three Picks: – D. Bryant (WR), J. Jones (WR), L. Miller (RB).
The Stormbringers were the second team to double dip on wide receivers and with Dez Bryant and Julio Jones it is clearly the strong point of the team. As a compliment to those two there is Kenny Britt, who fundamentally I like, however its all about whether he can stay healthy and out of trouble… plus there is a guy called Locker at QB who doesn’t yet instil the greatest amount of confidence. Deeper still there is Nate Washington, but as a fellow Titan his value is much more limited than that of Britt.
Vernon Davis should be a great Tight End this year and I’m am well and truly behind Matt Ryan who I think is primed for another bonanza season given the weapons he has. The Stormbringers have slightly more worries at RB due to going receiver early. Lamar Miller can have success, but I still worry a little about how much and how well he will do. Similar applies with Montee Ball who has already been snubbed as the starter in Denver. Immediately that shouldn’t hurt his value as one of his strengths is being a goal line and TD guy, but if he doesn’t get the basic carries his scores will be volatile. If the two youngsters might be expected to build into their role, it’s the opposite for Rashard Mendenhall who should start the year well before potentially tailing off if niggles start afflicting him and the other backs get more of a shot in Phoenix. Its also worth mentioning Bilal Powell, who has got the nod as a starter for the Jets and was picked up in round 13.
Thunder and Lightning - First Three Picks: – C. Johnson (RB), S. Jackson (RB), R. Gronkowski (TE).
Chris Johnson ended the first round and the hit and miss runner should be primed for an above average season this year given the reworking of parts of the Titans offensive line. Steven Jackson is a great compliment as the potent Atlanta offense should make use of his skills and he will be primed for some bonus garbage time points.
After going safe with a pair of backs, Thunder and Lightning took a little risk on Rob Gronkowski in round 3. The guy is mightily talented and whilst the prognosis looks better than perhaps planned its still a risk that he will be missing time. Marques Colston is looking good for this year now that Sean Payton is back on the hotseat and I like him for the year. He pairs off with Steve Smith and Anquan Boldin who both will score reliably over the year despite not really featuring in potent passing attacks due to the running ability of their own QBs. I think Shane Vereen is over drafted in round 5, but given the lack of anything much in New England to throw at (at least early days) there could be more value than expected in the Patriot ground game. On the flip side I quite like Greg Little in round 11 though I’m not sure why. I guess I feel whilst Brandon Weeden won’t necessarily be successful from a team perspective, I feel he can be reasonable from a fantasy perspective and I’ve always liked Little’s ability.
As a final thought it’s worth noting how Thunder and Lightning have brought together the controversial Phillies in Mick Vick and Riley Cooper… how will the locker room react.

I've changed the propose time already... NFL.com refuses to accept
a) that not everyone is American
b) American's get up before 11am
Thus I can only set drafts from 11am US Eastern Time, which equates to 4pm over here.

31st at 4pm works fine for me, can't do either of the alternatives (24th is my birthday and my best friend is getting married on the 25th!)
