NGT: FF Draft Thoughts (#1 pick)?

jamison884 : 9/6/2021 9:13 pm
After 30+ leagues, this is the first time I had the #1 pick. It's a 10-team half PPR Yahoo league. I haven't been paying attention to threads recently, so if these are a no-go, please delete it. Thank you for any feedback.

1. (1) Christian McCaffrey (Car - RB)
2. (20) DeAndre Hopkins (Ari - WR)
3. (21) Darren Waller (LV - TE)
4. (40) Miles Sanders (Phi - RB)
5. (41) Cooper Kupp (LAR - WR)
6. (60) Odell Beckham Jr. (Cle - WR)
7. (61) Mike Davis (Atl - RB)
8. (80) Aaron Rodgers (GB - QB)
9. (81) JuJu Smith-Schuster (Pit - WR)
10. (100) Cole Beasley (Buf - WR)
11. (101) Washington (Was - DEF)
12. (120) Rob Gronkowski (TB - TE)
13. (121) Trevor Lawrence (Jax - QB)
14. (140) Ty'Son Williams (Bal - RB)
15. (141) Ryan Succop (TB - K)
Love your first 3 picks

Wash def is solid. Hopkins as your top Wr is great. Waller is 2nd best TE. Mike Davis could be real good if they can run the ball.
a lot of good teams

in 10 team, but that team if stays healthy should cake walk to the playoffs with even moderate luck

Thanks for the comments. For what it's worth, the Yahoo auto-generated draft report card gave me an A- and projected record of 13-2.

I made the Ty'Son Williams late selection with Baltimore in mind due to the Dobbins injury and the potential for Williams to play significant snaps.

In tribute to Michael K. Williams, who played the infamous "Omar" on the "The Wire" and was a really talented guy; an apparent drug OD today. :(
Really strong team

Well done

Just finished a 12 team PPR from the #1 spot. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, K and Def

QB - Dak
RB - CMC / Swift / AJ Dillon / Alexander Mattison / Ty Johnson / Chuba Hubbard (CMC handcuff)
WR - AJ Brown / Justin Jefferson / Ja’Marr Chase / Courtland Sutton / Jarvis Landry / Curtis Samuel
TE - Mark Andrews
K - Tyler Bass
D - Steelers

Thrilled with this, especially considering a 12 team

Good draft^^^

I don't like Swift on a passing team, coming off injury, coming from behind every game......keep your eye on the WW and snipe a backup RB when the injury happens

I’m with you overall, but Det doesn’t have much beyond Swift, Hock and TWill. I think Swift will get a lot of burn early and favor heavily in the passing game. Couldn’t pass him up where he fell. This league draft well, overall, so it’s hard to snipe value at times. Appreciate the insight. Always a RB or 2 on the ww after week 1/2

Is going to get a lot of work at RB. People who assume Swift is going to be "the guy" for Detroit aren't listening to Dan Campbell or OC Anthony Lynn. That's going to be a timeshare.

Swift wont be good on a passing team? he is their best pass catcher out of the backfield

I doubt it....they will expect carry/receive option
Hopkins is going to look like a steal.
