111 N.F.L. Brains. All But One Had C.T.E.

Question guys and I hope I found the right thread for this, if not sorry blu ray mods.

So I play in a 12 team fantasy football league. My draft position this year is 6th. At pick 6 usually after doing mocks, its either Julio Jones, Mike Evans or Odell Beckham who is left and who would be the best pick at my position. Then for the 2nd round wrap around usually the only RBs there is either Todd Gurley or Lamar Miller and maybe Lynch available.

So here is the breakdown... If I stay with pick 6 and don't trade for Pick 9 which is something else I am going to get into in a sec... I will most likely choose Odell Beckham or Mike Evans and then 2nd round grab Todd Gurley or Lynch.

If I trade my 6th pick for the 9th pick, I can grab Devontee Freeman and then on 2nd round grab WR Michael Thomas or something.

Now my question is this, which option should I take? Should I stay with pick 6? or trade to 9? Last year my RBs were not so good, so I am scared that if I don't grab Freeman, then I might be doomed... Your first 2 picks in my honest opinion are your most important and will determine your season outcome.

I have even thought of staying with pick 6 and just grabbing Freeman, but then people will think I am nuts for reaching so much....

What you think? Help!!!

Police department confirm it was not Lucky Whitehead who was arrested.

He should be able to get on a roster somewhere.

The Cowboys are idiots. Already imploding and the season hasn't even come close to starting.

Once they lost several key starters, the writing was on the wall in my eyes... major regression this season. That was before all these off the field issues surfaced. Now it's just sad.

Jerry is an idiot... has players getting in trouble left and right. Does nothing. Whitehead gets accused of staking a candy bar and they release him... only to learn it was actually not Whitehead who committed the crime. Good job, Jerry. You're an idiot. A rich idiot, but an idiot, nonetheless. Cowboys will go nowhere as long as Jerry continues calling the shots. Once again, great owner. Terrible GM. Learn how to run a business, Jerry! Hire smart people! You're not smart enough to win in the salary cap era!

Just as soon as the Cowboys get things rolling again, the wheels are already about to fall off. Dez and Elliot are headcases and when the struggles begin, they will fold and the team will fall apart.

At this point I think it would be a pretty impressive feat for the Cowboys to make the playoffs again. I just don't see how it's possible... Giants division to lose IMO.

Lucky Whitehead's [emoji240] gets kidnapped and then he's mistaken for a thief. Not Lucky at all.

Whitehead is a subpar returner and a mediocre gadget player, I doubt he will make a 53 this year BUT it wouldn't surprise me.

Are you ok? It seems as if you have a lot of hatred towards a team that is not the one you support. Why not worry aboot your own team & how well they will perform this season? Just curious?

I don't think that dognapping was random the way Whitehead was quick to refuse pressing charges against that rapper guy. It seems obvious there was something shady going on between those two. Nobody I know would refuse to press charges against someone who stole their dog and demanded ransom. My guess is drugs or some other illicit activity was going on there.

Dang dude. I'm not remotely a DAL apologist, but it sounds like you've got an ax to grind.

Just do what you feel is right.. you know the players and what they have done in the recent seasons. It's hard to make any projections when you don't know what the teams ahead of you will do. Mock drafts are nothing close to actual drafts, aside from the first few picks.

And we don't know what kind of a league you're in. If it's a PPR, then go WR first, ideally.

I always go QB, RB, WR, and sometimes TE early as well.

The "backlash" is going to come from people who hate the Cowboys anyway.

No Cowboys fan is going to care, as Lucky Whitehead really wasn't a good player anyway. The news before this even occurred is he was highly unlikely to make the team.

My opinion hasn't changed, which is that the Cowboys were already due a regression due to how pathetically easy their schedule last year was and how that was unlikely to repeat. I don't think Lucky Whitehead and the Cowboys actions/inactions will have anything to do with it.

[rickah88]

Have to hand it to Dallas....they really get creative when cutting players now!

[BizCat]

Too bad it wasn't on Hard Knocks

[BizCat]

Wabo!!!

DE Everson Griffen has signed a 4-year, $58M extension ($34M guaranteed) with the Minnesota Vikings.

[fatediesel]

Lucky Whitehead got claimed off waivers by the Jets. The false arrest leading to his release could end up being a positive because he didn't have a great shot at making the Cowboys so instead of being released in late August he gets a shot at making a new team now.
