Thanks for the password. That worked fine.OldMilwaukee said:Main site password is " #2014ibl ".All passwords worked fine for me except in the Main Site
Did I see want to move your second Bro1ncos?
How about my 1.07f and 4.6f for your 1.02a and 6.11a?

Please log in to them and verify you can. If you haven't gotten on to the FFlivewire forums yet, please do so and say hi in the FBG check in thread.
As a suggestion, I would put your picks in a signature there- t makes it easier for folks to work deals with you. A format for this would be: L. McCoy (1.01A), M. Crabtree (2.12A) , 3.04D, 4.1A, 4.12D, 6.1G, , etc........
A couple of guys had trouble getting back into their Livewire accounts- supposedly a rep at livewire is fixing this so let me know if you're still having trouble by late tommorow. Will PM some individuals tommorrow on various specific issues. The first flight of drafts is set to start Monday AM. Now's a good time to buddy up with somebody!

Here's a link to draft A. There's links on each draft to all the othersHey guys,
I will never drop/be out of the loop, but I am still not able to get in. Old Milaukee, thanks for sending the contact info for the admin at FFlivewire (Chad). I sent him an email, and hopefully I can get on in the next 24 hours. I will be checking this board throughout the weekend for any team updates...
Rene: Can/should I log into the MFL sites? I think I would need the links posted here (not sure), as I can't get into FFLW. Let me know your thoughts. I think if it comes down to no resolution by Sunday eve, I will just create a new username, email, etc. Oddest thing is I already have a trade offer that came into my email, but I can't log in (lol).
Thanks. I'm gonna pass unless you can't find someone else to help out though. Appreciate the offer.Very nice of you! I could still use a buddy/partner if you would like? I will have limited access the first week of August.It's ok I don't mind as long as Renesauz is ok with it and it doesn't screw things up.
I just went with D. Thomas at 3. Only other player I considered was McCoy (Calvin and Charles went 1-2). IN this league currently, you only have to start 1 RB and can only start 2, while you can start up to 4 WR. WRs are just much more valuable and if in doubt, you're generally better off going WR (IMO).Opinions on the 1.02 slot
Looking at these 4:
Calvin Johnson
Jamal Charles
LeSean McCoy
Jimmy Graham
Any thoughts/opinions? I am leaning towards Shady or Graham. I love Calvin, but WR is so deep that it can be covered later. I like having a stud RB to lead the stable, but I also like the choice of Graham and then can concentrate on RB/WR/QB in the middle of draft.
WR can't be covered later. They'll get chewed up in no time as you can start 4 of them. Guys like Murray will be available for your 4th/5th pick.Opinions on the 1.02 slot

Got you. I forget the lineups are tweaked in IBL. Rethinking now.WR can't be covered later. They'll get chewed up in no time as you can start 4 of them. Guys like Murray will be available for your 4th/5th pick.Opinions on the 1.02 slot

Couldn't agree more. My first year, I did not account for the WR run and was mediocre. Last year, even after losing Julio I was in good shape because I addressed WR early and often.WR can't be covered later. They'll get chewed up in no time as you can start 4 of them.

Ref and I would have taken him at 1.8 if we hadn't be able to move the pick.What am I going to be left with at 1.11...not loving that position.
First draft to hit "11" went with Julio in that slot. I may do the same, but it seems pretty odd that I drafted him in the 2nd last year in the IBL, he breaks his foot and is out for the year, and then I have to spend a 1st on him the following year? Seems like his value is going in the wrong direction...
Julio went 1.10 in A. I very nearly pulled the trigger on him at 1.6, that's how good I think he will be. I think what made me ultimately choose Green over Jones was Julio rebounding from a big injury and no Tony G to takeWhat am I going to be left with at 1.11...not loving that position.

How did both you and Ref get an 8 slot?OldMilwaukee said:Yes!
Traded up from the 8th spot to the 2nd to make certain I got one of my top three (at no cost on the dodds).
Got my top guy!!!!!!
Welcome to team Old Milwaukee Calvin!
Which draft are you in?If Alshon and Antonio go before I pick in Round 2, I could pick Gronk if you guys want him at 2.02.

no worries.....Bass doin work as my GM and President of Football OperationsBnB...sorry, work has been crazy and I did not see this message before I picked (though I was happy to get Fitz as my WR3). I am on the clock at 4.02, and would trade for that 4.05 c. Let me know asap
ETA: Sorry I missed you guys...my bad.
Nice start, guys. I like where you are going. Ton of WR value, so I traded back a tad (and may even go back again).BassNBrew said:Yup - Happy with that start. I see Harvin as the 2014 version of DJax 2013.
It's so hard to avoid drafting the QBs in these leagues. Everytime I think Rodgers or someone looks like a smoking deal, I look at last years stats where Rivers off the wire or a poopy RG3 basically matched them.
As a reminder - 4 pts TDs and 1/25 yd for QBs. Running QBs really do well in this format.

I started with:
Brandon Marshall
Alshon Jeffrey
Larry Fitzgerald
Tempted to get another WR (TY Hilton-type), but that may be pushing it. Also would not mind moving Jeffrey (really wanted Antonio Brown). I moved back from 4.02B to 4.09A, and don't think I will lose much in value on RB (not even sure who I will select at that spot who I could not take in the 5th).
Reggie Bush??? Maybe could handcuff Bell later and hope one gets hurt?Tempted to get another WR (TY Hilton-type), but that may be pushing it.

LOL...got painted into a corner...almost went Spiller, but warning to folks drafting after me that there will be a RB run in Round 4. If I have to be the "sorry story", so be it. Had a guy who was going to swap 4.09s, but he went dark on me.Reggie Bush???

You could do worse than that. Dodds has him at 29 overall excluding QBs.

ETA: I did not love the Bell not being ready early in the preseason, and think I can get points out of Bush, but truthfully, not where I wanted to be at that pick. Thought when I traded out of 4.02 in B, I would get Ellington or Gerhart, just did not work out that way and my trade offers were "not great".
...and I hate to say it, but I found myself leaning heavily on that. Not that I don't trust Dodds, I don't like I had to lean heavily on that in round 4...maybe it was me, but for guys picking after me at least consider there could be a "hole" in Round 4.You could do worse than that.

Sanders and Torry Smith now gone in C. QBs and RBs will likely slip further in the later drafts if this continues....and I hate to say it, but I found myself leaning heavily on that.

Interested, but currently only have the 2.11E at this time.Any FBGs interested in 1.7E, I'd be looking looking for 2.3 to 2.6 and a later bump to even it out.
I guess Dodds and Drinen need to re-work the DD/pick value algorithm to incorporate that massive drop off between picks 13.6 and 13.8.In the case of your proposal, while it looks fair on the surface, I incorporate how historically players picked at those positions perform, and the gap between 13.06 and 13.08 is surprisingly large... something Dodds doesn't reflect. So I have to pass for now, but I'll keep poking around the numbers to see if anything else appears possible.
you gotta be kidding me.....he has to be pulling your chainI hope you guys get a kick out of this as much as I did...
Offered a guy who wanted to do some trading my 10.6C and 13.8C for his 10.7F and 13.6F. The premise being he might want some earlier picks and I wanted a couple of later picks. Here's the reply...

(I didn't double check this yet)I give: 7.07E (79) & 7.08C (80)
for 6.05C (65) & 9.03B (99)
2% in your favor
