B...Tier 1 TEs have high production and rarely bust. Between WR3 (a crapshoot) and a high-quality TE, you're probably better off with the tight end.<br /><br />That said, the situation has to be close to ideal: Round 5 with 2 RBs and 2 WRs already on your squad and all tier 1 QBs off the board. And preferably in a PPR league.<br /><br />Otherwise, you're joining the 2nd tier TE lottery where it pays to make your pick as late as possible.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09835063778662901050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-17084659692441441502009-07-24T15:44:30.275-04:002009-07-24T15:44:30.275-04:00I don't know if I would consider a 4th or 5th ...I don't know if I would consider a 4th or 5th round pick on Jason Witten or Antonio Gates a waste of a pick. Jason Witten single handedly got someone into the playoffs in my PPR league last year as well as the year before I believe. In a PPR format, a good TE can outshine a no. 2 or evan a no. 1 WR on a good Sunday. With that being said, I am preparing for a draft in a PPR league where you get 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 RB/WR flex position and a TE. Given these facts, do you still find drafting an elite TE in the 4th or 5th round unjustified? <br /><br />I love your site and read it just about everyday. keep up the great blog.

Reading a blog book right now, not to make my own blog, but to see how others have success & how much hard work it is. These links are great though as these articles tend to be hidden on these respective websites, especially the bigger ones.

Past that, I'll be staying away from Gates and Gonzalez this year.<br /><br />Something else: I happen to be in a spot in my draft that in every round I have to reach a little and/or pass up some better value at RB or WR or QB in order to nab the best TE available, so why not commit the deed early? If I've got an outstanding pair of RBs and a great WR1 and I know of obscene value for RB-WR depth that should be around later in the draft, why not grab a slightly overvalued QB or TE? It's nice to have confidence in all of your positions.<br /><br />That said, most of my mock drafts end up with me not taking a QB until when Zach Miller or Dustin Keller or Visanthe Shiancoe are available late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
