I’d like to extend an invite to Jooce to my money league

JOOCE makes good point regarding Frank’s DeAngelo/Stewart argument. Frank, managing risk and value is important if/when you want to play with the fantasy big boys. Nothing necessarily wrong with grabbing Brees in the 2nd. Just don’t bash Camp because he didn’t pick two players that you will be targeting in your draft this year. Camp clearly stated that he was targeting Cutler. He had the patience to get him in the 7th round, even after most QB options were getting slim. McNabb and Warner got picked after Camp’s 5.05 pick and before his 6.08 pick. Schaub was picked before his 7.05 pick, yet Camp had the guts to wait one more round on his targeted QB and picked Stewart instead (a good value in itself).

Nice value.

The link is right under the draft order. I probably should have made it more noticeable, so my bad on that. Also, I believe Lamar Smith was available, but I thought that Jon Stewart was the better pick since he has a ton of upside thanks to a solid run on the Daily Show.

I find it strange to say that it was dumb to not take DeAngelo at 1.5, but yet it was “amazingly idiotic” to take James, uh I mean Jonathan Stewart at 6.8…

Also, Jennings outscored Wayne handily last year. Yes, Manning had the knee issue, but was still MVP, and it was also Rodgers’ first year at the helm. I would say that it’s a toss up.

And am I missing something on Brees? I think that there was no mention as to where Brees was drafted. Did I miss alink to the entire draft results? Cutler was drafted in the 7th, much later than Brees I’m sure, so it’s not like he outright passed on Brees for Cutler…

Is there any way that Frank can join my money league? We’ll even let you draft James Stewart, but I think it will be a RBBC with Kevin Smith and MoMo.

First off I just wanna say that I’m a little upset I didn’t get one of your cute nicknames. Now let me address your criticisms. DeAngelo Williams was by no means a fluke last year, but we (and especially John) think that Jonathan Stewart is too good not to have a bigger role in this offense this year, which should obviously cut into Williams’ numbers. No chance I was taking him that high. Speaking of Stewart, that toe injury is a thing of the past, so if you are going to bring up an injury, at least say it was the minor Achilles problem he had during OTAs, although he is now healed from that as well. The Jennings/Wayne argument is a pretty even one, and while Wayne’s numbers were down across the board from his 2007 season, Jennings’ were up, so you can’t really go wrong either way. While I realize I could have had Brees, I was sticking to my strategy of holding off on a QB, and felt that Cutler was a value pick where I got him. I seem to remember Cutler playing in Denver, where it is also quite cold and snowy, so I doubt that will be a problem for him in the later months of the year.

Thanks for the feedback.

P.S. – I think John may be going with that beard to prepare for #4 coming in to lead his Vikings this year.
