Slow PPR Live Draft Blog, Entry 8


I have not updated much recently, but at the same time, the draft has moved at an incredibly slow pace. We are eight days into this draft and have only gone through thirteen rounds. Time to do more analysis though as this draft show a significant drop off in player quality once we get to the double-digit rounds.

After my Walter pick, the draft looked like this

7.10
The Knuckles
Walter, Kevin HOU WR
1:54:31 a.m.
7.11
SUPERDAVE
Berrian, Bernard MIN WR
5:52:46 a.m.
7.12
Smackdown
Cutler, Jay CHI QB
11:19:30 a.m.
8.01
White Mules 1
Driver, Donald GBP WR
11:19:30 a.m.
8.02
SUPERDAVE
Ryan, Matt ATL QB
11:19:30 a.m.
8.03
The Knuckles
????????????????


Nothing too crazy and to review, here was my team thus far

QB:
Manning

RB:
Forte
Lynch

WR:
Wayne
Evans
Walter
Ward


I really felt that I needed to plug holes here from a RB standpoint with Lynch gone & TE.

The RB & TE possibilities at this point were:

RB:
Jackson
White
McCoy
Julius Jones
Hightower

TE:
Winslow
Carlson
Miller

I debated long and hard over Fred Jackson, who would be the ideal replacement for Lynch. But an 8th round pick was hard to justify. I thought Winslow was the choice here as Tampa paid a lot for him to be there. I feel while he is a boom-or-bust pick here, this was better than taking a pedestrian RB despite the fact that I needed one badly.

The ninth round blog will discuss my trade and then I am going to discuss my picks together in two’s as we move down below the 10th round.
