You definitely had a better team and chance then me last year but the 7 years before that I was there and do have a 1st, 2nd, 4th, 13th, and 20th place finish or something like that... Good year last year though, you had some nice teams... And I don't play with an Alias.......Da Gildz said:You actually won’t hide behind an alias? I’m skeptical of that. And 4 leagues of mine ? I call bs on that. But hey you were nowhere to be seen on the leaderboards. I was there at least with a legit contender.
Isn’t all about the finish?

Yea well I rarely chat during a draft. Outside of the obligatory “Wake me up in week 14” line. Well not entirely true. I was messing with a seasoned vet in the last one. Guy took 6 WR’s before his RB2. Just makes no sense to me. But I digress.
Well in this draft last night that we just posted our two teams the guy in the 5 hole took Watson, Newton, and Wentz in the 5th, 7th, and 8th
That’s pretty awful.
And Scientist I don’t hate your team. Don’t think it’s anyrhing special either. I like Engram but can’t endorse him at 36 overall. Still some elite players in that area you passed over. And Reed at 60? Meh. Watkins at 6.1, Jordy 7, Hurns 9, Dez 10? Meh/meh/meh/meh. No value anywhere. Everyone getting all these guys later then you did. Stafford/Mariota? You get an A for boring. I love your draft if it ended after round 2.
Good luck tho.

I use to think like this. At the end of the day it doesn't matter if you don't get the players you want and you are not guaranteed players will come back to you. Pass up on a guy you feel will do great due to ADP thinking he will come back to you only not to get him sucks. I have always done this and really got burned last year losing out on players. This year if I have to reach Im going to do it. Id rather go down with my guys then go down with guys ADP says I should get.

Sounds great. That still doesn’t take away from the fact tons of other teams have these same players as you do, but in better spots with better players around them. Just saw a board from last night with Engram going 6.3. Jordy in the 10th, Dez in 13th yada yada. Early drafting can find you some steals, it can also go the other way. This team of yours looks more like a victim of early drafting then it does a benefit. I’m trying to find value at every spot whether I’m on the corner or not. There are times I’ll reach for guys intentionally. A la Guice at 3.2. Getting “your” guy is nice and sweet until you see the other 600 teams with those same players with better nucleuses around them.

Dude..... chance of 600 teams having the same guys as you is impossible. Factor in to that free agent pickups throughout the year and its not possible. You and coots go with a quantity over quality approach to your drafts meaning you participate in tons of drafts hoping you find the lotto ticket. You then discard the crap teams and only talk about the good teams. Im sure if you have 10 entries and wait for value you can find a player late then pimp it as look at my value.
I didn’t mean 600 exact same teams. Meant a lot teams with those same players u took will have better players surrounding them. And I’m not one of these mass drafters. Usually 6-8 teams most years. At 7 currently and likely done. For the FBG one at least. Main is in Sept. and have a couple teams in other overall contests. More volume then most for sure. But I’m not one these crazy drafters like Crakrok/Hubbard who have 50+ teams in this thing. May even be low there as they seem to be in every draft. Crakrok may even break the record. He’s gotta be up to 50 already.

I understand the VBD arguement. I understand your argument. For me if I have a player ranked ahead of others and I think in 20picks he won’t be there or there may only be a 50% chance he will come back I’m going to take him because I trust my own evaluation over ADP.
First time drafting in this format. Fro. The 9 hole.
Qb- Wilson(6), Smith(12)
RB-Drake(3), Ingram(4), Lynch(7), Bernard(9), Martin(14), Blount(17), justin jackson(19)

Te- Engram(5), Clay(12), R. Seals-jones(16),

Def Denver(18)
Very light on Rb. Had to take some risks at 9 and some RBS I wanted didn't make it back to me. Thoughts?

You're going to be way behind all season at the RB position... without much upside or reinforcements on there.
You are likely right but if I can stay close until Ingram is back I have a chance. I'll need to be aggressive on the waiver wire.

Here's one I just drafted... 12 hole... hate that spot this year... I just think there is going to be a huge difference between the value (and by that I mean points, certainty and consistency) of #6 and #12... and I think the value of the difference by more between each pick from 6/7-12.
QB: J Garoppolo (13), D Carr (18)
RB: D Cook (1), J Mixon (2), K Drake (3), G Bernard (9), A Jones (10), K Ballage (11), L Blount (14), R Smith (17)
WR: A Cooper (4), M Jones (5), P Garcon (7), DJ Moore (8), T Taylor (12), C Kirk (15)
TE: D Walker (6), RSJ (16)
K: C Boswell (19)
D: CAR (20)
Balanced team, but no true WR1... I need Moore or Taylor to step up. Possibly reached on Mixon at the turn and wish I had Adams or Gronk instead... but I think Mixon lights it up this year.

And another one from earlier this week from the 9. Doing one (maybe two if I am bored enough) per weekend until the start of the season from here on out... I will try to post 'em for discussion, feedback and info...
QB: K Cousins (12)
RB: L Fournette (1), L Miller (5), M Lynch (7), N Chubb (8), J Wilkins (11), T Swanson (18)
WR: K Allen (2), S Diggs (3), A Thielen (4), DJ Moore (9), A Miller (10), M Gallup (13), C Godwin (15), D Cain (16), C Patterson (17)
TE: J Doyle (6), A Hooper (14)
K: J Elliot (20)
DEF: PIT (19)
Regrets: Chub in the 8th. Just a bad pick, but I wanted a little RB upside and the only other options were Mack and A Jones. Wish I had waited a round on Miller, although I like him this year, so at his 5th/6th (sometimes +) ADP I am grabbing him as an RB 2/3 in a lot of leagues. Same with Lynch ... wish I could have gotten him in the 8th, but I love him as an RB 3/4. Doyle will be serviceable at TE w/ Luck back in action, but could have done better here.
I was thrilled to get Thielen in the fourth... so I stacked Diggs and Thielen with Cousins making this team potentially highly volatile, but I also think the Vikes are going to be really good this year, and the passing offense will be even better.
Have at it, gents!

I like the Lynch pick. I like Chubb as a talent, but having Duke and Hyde around limits his upside.
Where I think you went wrong was acquiring two Vikings. If a massive contest like this I think you need the Viking WR that goes off during the championship weeks. I also don't understand 9 WR and only 2 TEs. Do you have pre-season waivers?
leftcoastheel
Footballguy
Yeah, that's a fair point on two, but the Thielen value was too much to pass up. There have been teams in the past though that have done EXTREMELY well with a stack like this though... A guy with TY, Luck and I believe the Colts TE at the time almost won it a few years back. He had two Colts + Luck. I forgot who the other one was.
I rarely take more than 2 TEs. You have Gronk as 1A, Kelce as 1B and then you have a several mid-rounders that are good, but probably aren't gonna compete with the top guys. Doyle is one of those guys. Njoku is the only one outside that round I really like, and I couldn't get him as he is creeping up the draft board. It's so rare that a really good TE emerges and much more likely that one of those WRs returns substantial value IMO.

Footballguy
I agree on Thielen. Easy to point out flaws in hindsight. Sounds like you do a lot of these, so having a few teams that just win the league isn't a bad thing.

That 2nd I like the value u got with Olsen and Wilson. But man how do u pass on Hilton for Baldwin in the 3rd? Seems pretty bad at this stage. Also Crowell there was shaky over those rookie options.

I was in the 2nd draft also. Right next to you in the 5 spot. One of the craziest I've seen so far. Mark Ingram at 2.5! wow
QB: Ryan (13) Carr (16)
RB: Kamara (1) D. Freeman (3) Lynch (6) RoJo (7) Michel (8)
WR: Julio (2) D. Thomas (4) Agholor (9) Dez (10) Ridley (11) J. Brown (14) C. Sutton (17) Kirk (19)
TE : Engram (5) Brate (12) Gesicki (15)
K: Boswell (18)
Def: Dal (20)
I almost took JuJu over Thomas in 4. I really dont like many of the Wr's in rd 4.
I may have reached for Lynch in the 6th but I didnt see him making it back to me. I like your Cowell pick in the 7th, I would have taken him if you didnt.
I like the value with Wilson in the 8th at QB7. I almost took him, but just felt like I couldn't pass on Michel that late. I'm thinking he starts to come on about mid season.
I should have taken Goedert in 16. I assumed you and the 2 spot would be looking for a back up QB and it was getting slim so I took Carr.
Fun draft for sure though. Goff as QB 3 at 6.5 was another WTF pick.
GL
Could be tough sledding here. Really like Julio/Devonta where u got them. They rarely fall that far. Having said that, this team doesn’t appear to be strong in any area. Will need those backs to carry this one. Would have liked to see you snatch Wilson in that 8 hole. As much as I like Michel there, really hard passing on Wilson in the 8th. Getting a possible #1 overall QB that late? Slam dunk. Also with 4 rbs in hand, Wilson was begging you to take him. If Coots didn’t screw up his early picks, he would have had a monster.
GL.

Never been a big Hilton fan and love Baldwin if healthy!!!! If he is fine he out scores Hilton by 60 points and could have huge weeks teamed up with Wilson!!! I like what I saw from Johnson but still not sure what the roles will be there.. Blount is going to be goal line and riddick isn't going away on third downs.. I love Crowell and think he is extremely under rated!!!! We will see once the games start.. If Baldwin isn't healthy then it was a bad pick!!

I like the receivers and tight ends, but I think running back is going to struggle. I think i would have swapped out Julio for a running back in the 2nd, Cook, Hunt, Fournette, Gordon or CMAC. In the 3rd or 4th you could have had another receiver, Juju, Diggs, Hilton, Larry Fitz.
I like the thought of Cook, Drake/Ingram with Hopkins and Fitz.
Good luck though.
