Hey guys, I was just curious if any Jets were drafted in your leagues this year and which round they were taken in. In my work league, we have 8 teams and Chris Ivory was picked in round 8. Other than that, no Jets, except me picking Jets D with my 2nd to last pick and Winslow as my last for backup TE. In my deeper leagues Ivory was drafted around round 6, and he was pretty much the only Jet that anybody picked. I grabbed Jets D in all of the leagues for late round value, so I could add more RBs and WRs to my bench prior. Did anyone take Powell for late round sleeper value? Holmes? Stephen Hill? Jets D?
Ivory was taken in the fourth round of my 12-team online draft (which takes two and a half weeks cause everyone's gotta post their pick and has a 12-hour time limit), so that was early in the preseason. The draft finished up today and yesterday when the word came out about Bilal Powell being the starter the guy whose turn it was jacked him in the 14th round lol. And Geno Smith was taken as a third-teamer in the 15th round - limited keeper league. Not a single receiver or TE was taken in that draft.
I'm in three leagues. I didn't draft Ivory because I follow the Jets closely and know how week to week he's been, but he did get selected by other non-fans in all my leagues. I think I took Kerley in a final round. He's a solid sleeper pick who just gets overlooked. If one or more of your WR's get injured or there's a bi, Kerley will probably still put up OK numbers. Also took Holmes in another league. Again, if healthy, he could turn out to be a great sleeper pick. He's especially a steal since he's going undrafted. Bilal Powell also got picked by me in a few leagues and others in one. He'll go late or undrafted, but he's garunteed to put up OK starter numbers if your RB situation gets really sticky.
I picked up Ivory late in my draft. He didn't have the best preseason, but I think he'll come on strong eventually and could make for a good flex player. The schedule shows we don't play many stout run defenses
Picked up Bilal Powell and the Jets D near the very end. I was considering Hill too, but I just don't have space. With Jimmy Graham and Kyle Rudolph as my TE pair though, I might be able to trade a couple players away for an upgrade somewhere and stash a sleeper on my bench from FA.
Granted we did it in a bar, and I was many beers deep, but I took the JETS D around the 15th rd, and & Kerley & Holmes with my last 2 picks. lol 12 teams, 18 rds
