  Dynasty team is in signature. Standard scoring, 3 rec = 1 pt. I know, I know - I need help all over, especially RB. I'm content with trying to rebuild thru the draft and holding onto players with upside, a la TY and Gordon. 

  
  

  Staring at the 1.02 overall. My obvious choice here is Bell but it looks like he's gonna go 1.01 overall Question is: do I take Ball or go with Austin, even though my real need right now is RB? I've been catching up on the Ball detractors as of late and Austin is doing nothing but shining in camp. Is Austin the guy to go with at 1.02 or do I draft for needs and take Ball?

  DYNASTY TEAM QB(3) – Wilson, Vick RB(4) – Wilson, Mathews, Woodhead, Goodson, WR(5) – Garcon, Gordon, Hilton, Hill, Amendola TE – Gronkowski, Eifert K – Carpenter TAXI SQUAD - Montee Ball IR - Marcus Lattimore

  You take Gio and thank god you listened to me over everybody else later in the year.
  
  Edit: If you must take one of the 2 you mentioned take Austin, he isn't my top WR but I would take him over Ball.
  

  I don't trust Adam Schefter and neither should you!!!

  Gio huh? Man, now you're throwing me for a loop! Why Gio, if you don't mind me asking?

  I would take Gio over Ball.  Could also argue for Hopkins or Austin at 1.2 if you need a wr.

  
  

  This is a tough year to be at the top of a draft

  I'm cooling on Montee and Austin right now.  They were my two favorites after the NFL draft.  Starting to feel like Montee will get the John Fox treatment which will be a messy RBBC.  Also, Austin may be behind Cook and Givens in targets which will make him inconsistent unless you get return yardage points.  Besides Bell, I'm kinda leaning Hopkins as the next guy with a definite contender in Lacy also.  I'm not as into Gio as the others but there are a lot of Gio believers so perhaps there is something to it.
  
  Sorry to add more confusion.

  man, it does suck to be at the top of this draft. I've offered the pick up but no one is biting. I haven't heard the stuff about STL and where Austin is in the pecking order but that's good info. Thanks.

  
  

  Hopkins is an interesting guy as well. Lacy growing on you guys? I balk at the fact that he's in a pass first offense. I made that mistake with Ingram a few years ago and passed on AJG.

  Ball or Gio. Go RB. Id prob trade the pick though if Bell goes 1.01. Id try to flip into Miller.

  Serious gap between 1.01 and 1.02 this year IMO.  I'd even consider Patterson here.

  I like Patterson. I would try to move back, Gio/Ball/Hopkins/Austin/CP are so close together

  Gonna be hard to trade down. Looks like Gio is gaining some steam while Ball isn't. I guess Hillman is impressing everyone, not to mention playing for John Fox.

  
  

  What about Lacy?

  I wasn't sold on him initially for several reasons (drafting of Franklin, depth at position in GB, heavy passing team, injury impact) but apparently he has been pretty impressive. I don't think I would take him as high as 1.02, which is what I think you're considering.
