linkage, for what it's worth ...

1. Calvin 2. Rice 3. Jarrett 4. Gonzalez 5. Hill 6. Smith My dynasty teams are talented enough and deep enough that I can generally afford to wait on these guys. Gonzalez is high in part because he's super smart and will be learning from Harrison how to be a great player - I believe that...

Which is precisely why I started out my prior post with the following: They aren't actually fictitious, they are just one way (out of an essentially infinite number of possible ways) of valuing picks in relation to one another.

If you believe in the pick value calculator, then it's a very fair way to make every draft slot worth about the same. The difference in value between the best (1st) and worst (12th in serpentine) positions is huge in a serpentine draft and tiny in a reverse 3rd draft. through 12 rounds...

from wikipedia: So there's a history of that, despite his matching up against the opponent's top target.

He played FS as a junior at Michigan and while he wasn't a liability as a safety he was far more effective as a corner.

Both are essentially correct: > Vick is scheduled to be paid $6m in salary this year, so the Falcons would save the $6m in salary but get assessed $6m in bonus acceleration for a nominal net impact> Vick is scheduled to be paid $7½m in salary next year, so the Falcons would save the $7½m...

Season totals have nothing to do with the topic at hand. It's the variation amongst the weekly scores over the course of the season that's the topic here. Do you want your 160 points as ten per week every week or as twenty in some weeks and none in others?

It all depends on the rest of your team. If your team is above average, Mr. Dependable saves you from losing games you shouldn't. If your team is below average, Mr. AllOrNothing is you best shot at having a chance to make up the difference.

This is supposed to be fun, right? When it's no longer fun, it's time to walk away.

Jackal's just taking who he likes and not trading down in hopes that his guys last long enough. I actually like what he's done - a year from now his team will be very good.

How soon 'til the post-draft Bloom 100 is ready?

The Niners could use him to anchor their middle. Their 2nd and 3rd (480+210=690) are enough to get any of the next few picks (the 27th is 680). If they are getting DJax for a 4th, then they can use a pair of other picks to make this happen.

The Cowboys could make a play for Turner. With the early 2nd or one of the next year's 1sts. A Turner/Barber RBBC could be deadly.
