Couldn't decide if I wanted to go RB, WR or TE with my 2nd round pick. Decided to grab Julio because of the high number or targets the top WR in Kyle Shanahan's offense usually gets. Doesn't hurt that Roddy White is aging and the Falcons are questionable at RB and TE.

In a real draft I would be ecstatic to have one of Brown, Dez, DT, OBJ, Calvin or Julio with one of my first two picks. I rank them pretty closely to each other. Nelson is the first guy in my second WR tier.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I traded for him in my auction league so I think some of that is overblown.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostMurray lasted a lot longer than I thought he would.
1. Immense workload last 2 years with a track record of not good health.
2. Not running behind that behemoth Dallas line.
3. Splitting carries with Mathews? Sproles and Mathews eating into passing downs?

I knew that someone would grab Gronk soon. He was also a consideration for my 2nd round pick. Can't really argue with the value pick, a 1st round pick in many drafts.14 Team 1/2PPR league (1 Keeper)

I took a RB in round one so I had all my options available. If I took a WR I would have felt the pressure to get a RB. I'm ok waiting on WR once that top tier goes. You can get a decent group usually if you wait. It is a mock and I wanted to see how a team with Gronk would look.

Originally posted by Friarfan View PostYeah, he's slipping and I think for valid reasons:

As far as your points:
1 - he only had an immense workload last year
2 - true, that will hurt
3 - I'm largely unconcerned about this. Sproles + Polk had 100 carries last year, so if Mathews gets 75 and Sproles sticks to receptions and a small handful of carries, Murray should get the 320 handoffs McCoy landed last season. That's lower than Dallas, but that's baked into his lower value.

Originally posted by revo View PostI figured I'd have a shot at him in Rd 2, so pairing him with Forte is amazing. I'm interested to see what WRs I'll be able to nab in the later rounds.

Originally posted by Erik View PostDepending on who FF took, I was going young WR-veteran RB or veteran WR-young RB. He ended up taking none of those four targets (I'm not a huge fan of Shady in PPR this year) so I had a decision to make, opting for the higher-ceiling combo since this is a mock.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.
