Yeah, with very little research at this point, Sammy/Evans is who I want at 1.1/1.2, so I think I'll end up with them at 1.2/1.3 and then just have to see who goes at 1.4 before deciding on the 1.5 pick.  Maybe I shoudl offer up the 1.8 and 1.10 for the 1.4 and see if he bites.  :)

You know, I've always had a mancrush on Graham (and used to have one on Gronk).  They used to be my 1(a) and 1(b) picks at TE, on a tier to themselves.  Well, after owning Gronk and Graham in various leagues, I can safely say, for myself anyway, the Graham is on a tier to himself.  There is no 1a/1b anymore, just Graham and 1....then Gronk heading up Tier 2.  They aren't the same age (Gronk is 2-1/2 years younger), but age and football age are different, and Gronk is aging at an exponential rate in my eyes.

Gronk....................vs.................Graham
42/546/10............................31/356/5
90/1327/17...........................99/1310/11
55/790/11.............................85/982/9 (wrist injury year)
39/592/4...............................86/1215/16

226/3255/42..........................301/3863/41

So Graham has about 130pts more in their careers (933.3 vs. 803.5), but Gronk had a 60pt lead after their rookie years.  So in the last three years, Graham has outscored Gronk by nearly 200pts (basically 280/yr for Graham to 215/yr for Gronk).  Throw in multiple back surgeries for Gronk and the torn ACL/MCL compared to Graham's wrist dilemma/surgery in 2012), and I just think the chasm between the two is widening more and more each year.

Okay....starting to lay out my defense.  As was pointed out by a friend, though, Alshon put up most of his numbers AFTER Cutler was put on the shelf...will he only have eyes for Brandon again this year?  I think Alshon is a special talent, and I'm hoping that he continues the whole Julio-Roddy-esque situation this year...but I may be way off on him - hope not.

And, yes, I'm going to target mostly WRs.  I'm thinking I may well go WR/WR/WR with my first three picks (1.2, 1.3, 1.5) and then QB/RB/TE with my 1.8, 1.9, 1.10 picks.  Of course, it all depends on who falls where (but since I own six of the first 10 picks, a lot of that is up to me....:P

Oh, and how I got them, Huddle....I trade a lot.

Trades (and what the 2014 pick ended up being):

5/5/13 - Traded away 2013 1.10 and 3.12 2013 picks during draft for the 2013 2.6 and a 2014 1st that ended up being the 1.7.

5/18/13 - Traded away Roeth, CJ Spiller, 2.8, 3.8 for DMac, R.Jennings, DeAndre Hopkins, C.Fleener, 1.2, 1.9

9/19/13 - Traded away Fleener for 1.10

9/25/13 - Traded away J.Franklin (after that one big game), B.Powell, J.Stew, DWil, E.Royals, E.Sanders, J.Reed  for P.Harvin, 1.1 (***ding ding ding...we have our winner***) (this gave me half the 2014 1st round)

10/3/13 - Traded away DMac, TRich, DThomas, 1.7 (yeah, I actually traded away one future first rounder) for Calvin, CJ Spiller, C.Patterson

10/30/13 - Traded away RG3, Christine Michael, DeAndre, Cordarrelle, J.Thomas for DeMarco, Harry Douglas, Torrey Smith, J.Randle, J.Locker, M.Bennett and 1.3.  (Back up to 6 1sts, but this is the trade I regret most, I think...I had Gronk back so was trying to make a run at the title by getting guys like Harry and DeMarco who were tearing it up...think even Torrey had a few good games at that point)......gave up a ton of value in this one.  :(

So....I like trading, as it turns out.

Gave up too much imo. I think Gronk/1.3 for Graham/1.5 woulda got it done.

Wow...That Calvin trade was sick...Did you give up a car in the deal as well? ? Lol
