    If I follow his reasoning as well as I think I do he probably wouldn't grab Manning unless he was somehow still there in round 8 or 9.

    Might be a slight exaggeration there but I get the impression he definitely wouldn't burn a 2nd rounder on him either.

    If he'd grab, say, Drew Brees in round 1 that contradicts your reasoning but not his.

    I wouldn't wait that long. Manning in the 2nd (unless I drafted someone like Rodgers late in Rd 1) would be awfully tempting because of the stats Manning has put up in recent years. I just wouldn't use a first because like Witlon said you can get very productive QB later.

    Re: Random Fantasy Football 2014 Rumblings

    im a big believer in grabbing a qb i feel strongly about early. brees in the 2nd is usually a target, this year maybe cam in the late 3rd early 4th if i cant procure something earlier. i dont think ive ever taken a qb in the 1st in a non ppc league though.

    1-4: P. Manning
    2-14: A. Rodgers
    2-24: D. Brees

    4-42: M. Stafford
    4-47: C. Newton

    8-88: C. Kaepernick
    8-94: T. Brady

    9-100: P. Rivers
    9-102: T. Romo

    Why grab Manning in the first, when you could legitimately double up with say, Romo and Ryan?
    Wow Brady in the 8th... as much as I hate New England... I gotta say that would be very tough to pass on. Bolded are the guys I'd really be looking at if that were the league I was in. It also depends on the scoring system.

    Started a new thread for the consensus rankings. All talk goes here to keep the thread from clogging.

    Outside the top 5 consensus RB there isn't anyone I am remotely excited about. Can't see myself spending a first round pick on bell, ball, or Murray.

    since i assume we're gonna be running a league on here, im not gonna go too deep into my plans. i will say this though... i couldnt see myself taking the 6th rb [or possibly even lacy] over calvin if im picking middle of the 1st round. im a bit higher on le'veon than you... but if im back end of the 1st round, 10-12th or so, i wouldnt be upset getting jimmy graham and a secondary runner in the 2nd.

    Re: Random Fantasy Football 2014 Rumblings

    I think I'd consider taking Graham before RB5 in PPR formats. Consider...

    Re: Random Fantasy Football 2014 Rumblings

    From today's Mock, we look at TEs...(ESPN Standard, non PPR.)

    12. J. Graham
    32. J. Thomas
    45. R. Gronkowski
    56. V. Davis
    62. J. Witten
    79. J. Cameron
    94. K. Rudolph
    105. G. Olsen
    121. J. Reed
    130. Z. Ertz
    163. A. Gates
    165. C. Clay
    167. M. Bennett

    All others were undrafted. I guess waiting on TE can be considered. I have Cameron ahead of Gronk(due to the Gordon suspension), and getting him in the 80s or Rudolph in the 90s(The Turner effect) would work for me.

    tight end is usually a position i wait on. reed or ertz that late would be glorious for me.

    Nah, he was drafted. I had to have missed him, because I would've taken him over Manziel or Kelvin Benjamin.
