This startup draft series continues as teams build their important core rosters. Read up on the format of the league (dynasty best ball), scoring, and opening rounds of draft commentary and analysis here:

Part 4

Now, the mettle of each owner is tested to grab ‘their guy’ in Rounds 11-15.

Round 11

11.01 C.J. Spiller (Could be a short-term value depending on landing spot)

11.02 Derek Carr (Would have taken him if he dropped)

11.03 Josh Robinson (Like him, but too high here)

Without a quarterback I like on the board, I go with Dwayne Allen to fill out my tight end committee with Tyler Eifert. Allen has Andrew Luck, a nose for the end zone (critical for tight ends), and a little discount built in.

11.05 Marcus Mariota

11.06 Terrance West

11.07 Jordan Reed

11.08 Roy Helu (Doubt he gets a lead-type role, but maybe a few PPR games for best ball)

11.09 Michael Crabtree (Good value if he lands in volume-based spot)

11.10 Denard Robinson (Do not see the upside here)

11.11 Kyle Rudolph

Seeing the end of a value tier, I trade up from 12.07 to this spot, taking a drop from 15.06 to 16.11 in the process. One of the more intriguing wide receivers in the 2015 NFL Draft class is Stefon Diggs. He flashed at a historic level as an 18-year-old major conference pass-catcher. In this range of ho-hum veterans as the upside seeps away, I will take a shot on one of the phenoms left.

Round 12
