This article here hit THE RIGHT SPOT for me. Good Stuff. A lot of people get caught up in the name game and don’t do their homework….or even a little homework. I look for people to still be jumping at Antonio Gates early this year…won’t be me.

Thanks ffexchange,

That is a great point. Back in the late 90’s I noticed that this guy name Terrell Davis was havig some success late in the season. The following year I drafted him in the 4th round. He finished with 15 TD (rushing and rec) and around 1800+ all purpose yards - and he was my RB2. My number one that year was Emmitt Smith who wasn’t cheap and put up 15 td’s himself. I was 15-1 with my only loss being in the league championship (when they were on the bench resting for the playoffs).

Anyway, thats a perfect example of how important it is to identify those trends.

Thanks for stopping..

Sometimes the last 4 games or so of the previous year can be a good barometer for younger players. Brandon Marshall ended 2006 on a high note looking like a favorite target of Cutler. I got him late in drafts and he paid off.

Lots of solid advice. I drafted a few “hunches” last year. Brady panned out, but I also had a few busts.

I think anyone can draft an above-average team if they just use your last piece of advice and avoid drafting lemons. Sometimes it’s not about the picks you make, but the picks you don’t make.
