Thanks for the heads up on the funds switching over to league safe.
We have three in the league so far after about a day and I just posted in the "Looking for Leagues" so hopefully we will get the last seven guys by the start of next week.
I was thinking of waiting to start best ball drafting until after the NFL draft and schedule release. So I wasn't paying much attention to my account at (wherever my best ball bankroll is now). Based on other posts here, I am just learning about the leaguesafe usage. I'll probably figure out how to access my bankroll this weekend and then join you.
I like doing these drafts with FBGs because you can discuss things after. And best ball is perfect because it’s not a commitment that requires your attention after the draft.
Well, I certainly hope we START drafting this league well before the NFL draft but the NFL schedule should be released sometime close to April 17th-19th if history repeats itself. It's typically the middle (tue/wed/thu) of the third week in April.brun said:
Even if the league fills before, I’d be okay with waiting until the schedule is released. You could draft 4 QBs and still not cover a bye week. That’s unlikely but possible.
2 years ago I thought I was covered pretty well by drafting 3 QBs in MFL10 drafts I did prior to the NFL schedule coming out. Of course, I ended up with a team with all 3 QBs on a week 5 bye. Oddly enough, that was one of the leagues I won.
Hahahaha. Never fails hey? Think you have it covered but nope. At least it ended well.2 years ago I thought I was covered pretty well by drafting 3 QBs in MFL10 drafts I did prior to the NFL schedule coming out.

Like I said, I think the schedule will drop soon so if you'd be in we could definitely wait for the NFL schedule to be released to start the draft. Seems like Borden is on board with that.2 years ago I thought I was covered pretty well by drafting 3 QBs in MFL10 drafts I did prior to the NFL schedule coming out.

Yep, in and paid.
I was just curious, what rounds were your TE's and D's drafted? There's a wide variety of opinions on Burton/Kittle and Kroft could be a steal if(when?) Eifert gets injured.barackdhouse said:
I took Burton/Kittle 8th and 9th. Kroft was 18th.
I wonder if one possible strategy will be handcuffing Eifert/Kroft. Eifert looks like is going in the ~13th and Kroft is going in the ~19th in most drafts. On one hand if Eifert is healthy and you end up wasting your 19th rounder.... well, you have a healthy Eifert. If Eifert isn't healthy you have to think Kroft will be more productive than just about any other TE drafted in the 19th round.
Yeah I get the idea of taking Eifert/Kroft like you say. There were a few other TEs I thought about there at 18. I decided I wanted a 3rd TE and liked the upside of Kroft. He basically has no floor if Eifert is healthy so it's risky but it's what I did.
Barkley looks to be drafted too high for me. I don't know that there's a landing spot that justifies a 1st round pick. Giants and Colts have garbage lines. Browns always losing, plus Hyde & Duke. Even if you like those landing spots, he's still at max value. Point being, i like drafting rookies who's situation/ADP could improve post NFL draft. No matter where Barkley goes, i still see him as a late first rounder anyways. Now if Jones/Chubb/other RB go to the Colts/Giants in the 2nd, their ADP could jump.
Yeah, I was very low on both McCaffrey and Cook last year mostly due to situation and it kind of came back to bite me(or certainly would have had Cook been healthy). I'm probably more like you where I factor situation very heavily. It may lead me to be more open-minded this year no matter what the situation is.
Hey brun, were you able to pre-draft rookies? I had to jump through multiple hoops to make sure you could draft rookies so please make sure that they are included on your pre-draft list(s).
It's being fixed.
Just joking about pre-drafting 28 rounds. I just did about 12 players over 2 rounds and didn't try for any rookies. Will be doing more later.
Thanks for the effort. TBH, I think it's more work than it's worth, but some like it.
Ah, I think MFL should have been 3RR for years now. I just wish it was a little easier to implement. Or change.
Sorry Mr. Spacely.
I used to fade Bell but he's an interesting player in that he actually seems to benefit from the extra time off every summer. PIT rides him so hard during the season I think that extra rest all summer is good for him. Most players if they take the entire offseason off I worry about conditioning/injuries/etc but with Bell the bigger worry is.... free time(cough, cough).
I don't think it would matter. Bell is to good for them to take him off the field. It was so hard to not take bell or brown for me. Had to keep
at bay and take Gurley.
Really looking forward to seeing what he does this year. Was deciding between him and McCoy. Even though his ADP would indicate that I could have possibly gotten him later, I took the proven veteran.
Confident I have a pretty safe floor with Kamara and Barkley at RB. With monsterous upside.
What in your opinion would be his best(probable) landing spot? Where are you hoping that he'll go?
