To clarify, those numbers are what they would actually cost me this year. So Stafford would be my 4th round pick. BUt I don't think that changes anything.

You could still draft Stafford if you want to with a 4th round pick, but there's no way you're getting Murray or Jones in the 7th or 11th rounds.

Y'all draft early. My drafts don't go on until late August

Is it safe to say Drew Brees is a lock keeper over Ray Rice this year?

10 owner, regular scoring league.

No. To me an elite RB > elite QB. The difference in points between elite RBs and solid RBs is much more drastic compared to the point difference between elite QBs and solid QBs.

I would keep Rice over Brees. I would keep Rice, Foster, & McCoy over any QB this year.

I never draft until the last weekend before the season starts. Injuries happen way too often in the NFL, even in the preseason.

Depends on how your league is scored. Is it a PPR league? Do QBs get 6 points per TD or 4?

I like fftoolbox.com for some quick stat/reference information.

How are a lot of you viewing Stevan Ridley for NE? He is a possible 6th round keeper for me, though the NE backfield is very unpredictable.

I like Ridley alot. But its hard to tell what Belichick is up to. I don't know if I would keep him, but you could certainly draft him again if he's still there.

I think I'd probably go elsewhere for keepers if I had other options. 6th round sounds about right for him, so why spend a keeper and lock yourself into drafting him if you're not getting good value?

Curious if any leagues here have a constitution?

[MLSKINS]

I always do one warm-up draft for my serious leagues, except this time I forgot I wanted to draft this morning. :doh

Here is the results:

Stafford
Roddy White
Maclin
Stevie Johnson
Ray Rice
Doug Martin
Vernon Davis

Bench:
Big Ben
Shonn Greene (Bout to cut him)
Lance Moore
Jermaine Gresham
Laurent Robinson

David Akers - K

DEF: Pats and Feagles (Bout to drop one and get my skins)

[MattFancy]

Not a bad haul there ML!

[ixcuincle]

As I said, I run a fantasy team like a Madden team

Youth movements

Always sneaking and drafting sleeper rookie studs such as Julio Jones and AJ Green

[MLSKINS]

Yeah, when I looked at the team I had received I was shocked. My WRs alone should kill. But pair that up with Stafford and Ray Rice. And still got Vernon Davis at TE with Moore and Robinson on the bench... Don't make any sense to me.

I've been doing a few mock drafts for the 12-team league I run with a bunch of friends. Standard scoring. Here's the team I like best and will hope to imitate come draft-time (next Sunday).

QB: Stafford
WR: Fitzgerald, M. Wallace
RB: Doug Martin, Reggie Bush
TE: Vernon Davis
WR/RB: DeAngello Williams or Santonio Holmes
K: John Kasay
DST: Seattle
BN: RGIII, James Starks, Kyle Rudolph, Alshon Jeffery, Doug Baldin
