Hey Zen, I drafted #5 in your league. I thought you did pretty well and you grabbed a few players I wanted that I thought would slip like R.Bush and E.Royal. Here's mine:QB: Favre, HasselbackRB: S.Greene, F.Jones, Portis, D.Brown, T.JonesWR: A.Johnson, L.Fitzgerald, M.Crabtree, S.Breaston, R.Williams, C.Chambers, Demaryius ThomasTE: V.Davis, J.Gresham, K.Boss, B.PettigrewK. FeelyDST: Pats D
This was my first time in a league like this so I wasn't really sure what to expect. There were some players that I was surprised at how far they fell and some that I was surprised how early they went. I was hoping to land R. Bush but really didn't think he'd make it back to me at the 5/6 turn. I didn't really plan to end up with 3 TEs but since Gates/Miller have the same bye week I had to grab a 3rd. Jacobs falling to the 9/10 turn surprised me as well.I like your WR group a lot - 3 strong starters and good ones in reserve. I had Breaston and Chambers in my queue but you took them before they could get back to me. VD is a great TE and if Gresham is as good as advertised......You may have trouble at QB if Favre and Hasselbeck both break down. If Favre has one more in him then getting him in the 9th is going to be huge.Good luck!
Same thing happened to me on one of my teams.
Can't believe he couldn't beat out Cundiff,I think it had more to do with the contract he signed in June.Oh well just have to hope Green bay only scores TDs first game maybe just 4.Might be able to make that up.Anyway good luck to you in first game and rest of season maybe we will have better luck with our kickers
nice team. I think the keys to this team areShonne Greene - is he gonna score enough TDs to offset his lack of receptions in a PPR league, ala Turner of 2 years ago.
I do think Greene will have a high TD total and that Bowe will return to form.As for Keller, if he actually ended up in the Top 10, I'd be kissing babies. He's terrible, I know, and the TE position on my team is terrible. But I believe Greene/Harrison/AJ/Fitz/Boldin/Bowe more than make up for it.
Jerome Harrison is gonna carry us to the promise land baby, come on Mr Soup me and you are coming for 100 grand
My buddy is actually friends with Shayne Graham and he flew down to Tampa the day after he got cut. He said it was all about $$$ and not having to guarantee him the contract. He thinks he will get on with a team this year though but unfortunately that won't help us week 1.rustycolts said:Can't believe he couldn't beat out Cundiff,I think it had more to do with the contract he signed in June.Oh well just have to hope Green bay only scores TDs first game maybe just 4.Might be able to make that up.Anyway good luck to you in first game and rest of season maybe we will have better luck with our kickers
Ok thats all folks! No more drafting so I thought I would post my teams for everyone's entertainment. I drafted the first one Aug. 8th and the second one Aug. 25th.My buddy is actually friends with Shayne Graham and he flew down to Tampa the day after he got cut.

Must be nice you join 3 leagues and get 1st 2 pick 2 drafts.I have been in 17 high stakes drafts this year between FFPC and WCOFF and have got Chris Johnson in zero of them since I can't get 1st pick ever.
I like the Schaub and Shiancoe picks. If you got Colston in the 3rd round, that is great value.BUTI think you may have depth issues.I can't figure out who you start as your second flex in week 1. This does not bode well for your bye weeks.Assumed starters week 1:QB - SchaubRB - JacksonRB - BradshawWR - FitzgeraldWR - ColstonTE - ShiancoFlex - S. MossFlex - ???
terrible strategy
My first time in this tournament and like everyone else, I really didn't know what to expect. Drafted Tuesday night at 10 and had the 4th pick. I feel I reached a lot more than I wanted to and felt lost towards the end of the draft. Overall you can say I have a lot of regrets
With the 2 flex spots my plan was to go RB heavy.
QB: Brees, Young
RB: Gore, Best, Bradshaw, Bush, Larry Johnson, Bernard Scott
WR: MSW, TO, Mike Williams (TB), Dexter Mccluster, Deion Branch
TE: Dustin Keller, Tony Scheffler, Rob Gronkowski, Dante Rosario
DEF: Vikings, Titans
K: Buehler
In the first round there was no way I was going to take MJD and took Gore. I LIKE.
In the second most of the top TE's were gone and Brees was sitting there. I LIKE.
In the third I was torn between Jahvid, Jamal Charles, and Arian Foster. I hope I made the right pick. I LIKE.
In the fifth I was torn between Spiller and Reggie. Again I hope I made the right pick. I LIKE.
I reached on Mike Williams in the 8th, Dexter in the 9th, and Vikings D in the 11th. 1 REACH FINE, 2 REACHES ??, ALL 3 = NG.
But if your starters stay healthy and perform as expected, and with a little bit of help from your bye-week backups, you will be contending to be a league playoff team. After that, anything is possible. GL.
Yeah well I took Brady in the 5th round, where the options that were available at RB and WR were not very stellar. I think Brady bounces back with a top3 QB rank this year. He was staring me in the face at that pick, and I had to grab him. As for the flex, Ward was a top 25 WR last year, and i think Dixon will heavily rely on the vet. I also hope S. Moss will be rejuvinated this year with McNabb, and I dont think a 100 catch year is out of the question. We'll see - the Draft Dominator tool said I had the best starters, but who knows. Thanks for the insight!
