2021-22 Battle for Shining Path's Cup - Semifinal time!! (1 Viewer)

Is there an entry fee?  I'd be willing to be the 12th (and pick 12th) if it's still doable and would make the caveman happy even though it's total points.

Well, assuming Andy answers in the next 30 hours or so we shouldn’t be done with round one. (Sorry again guys)

I'm going to hold up before I pick (I'm on deck) so that I can ascertain what is what and I know the draft order going into the second round.

Sorry, was trying to help matters not complicate them.  Feel free to proceed without me if you prefer.

I know you were, bro. I'm fine with waiting on the pick. I don't think that came through in what I wrote. I'm just informing others so they're not waiting on a turn that's not coming until Andy decides.

 

[rockaction]

I'm up. I'm going to hold off until I hear from AD.

No entry fee.  The 10th pick just happened so we would need rock (who picks 11th) to at least hold off on his second pick.  Not sure if this is possible since the draft has started, but it is fine with me.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

Agreed, if our supreme overlord AD agrees, I'm good with it also. Doubt the first round picks would've changed anyway. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I'll see if I can add one. Might have to start over and make commish picks for those already done - which I don't mind.

Edit: Looks like all I needed to do was pause the draft and I could add one more. Waiting on an email address from @facook and we'll start up again.

Cool. I'll hold off then.

@facook, if he's still up PST.

 

[facook]

@rockaction back up.  I should have taken Lamar and Kittle and passed on RB and WR.  But I'm a  lemming.

See y'all tomorrow at 8 pst.

Your 2020 BeatDown Brigade:

• QB
  
• RB - CEH
  
• WR - D. Adams
  
• TE
  
• K!
  
• DEF
  

Was going to try to have more fun this year and was going to pick Mahomes in the first slot.  Then decided I would get Lamar on my second pick.  I like CEH and thought Adams was a good value in the second round.  Every year in this league almost without fail I pick in a double digit slot.

If I'd have had the guts, I would have picked Adams right before you and seriously thought about it. But I didn't. Great pick. I like peoples' picks so far, save mine. I hope Jacobs gets some passing down work this year and Sanders is healthy. I'm banking on it. Good luck drafting to everyone. Should be an interesting and fun year. 

@nittanylion Love the Chubb pick, too. Whoohoo!

We're in a tough spot where we pick.  The experts will tell you the 2 RB setup is the right pick there as there will be trash there by they time we get back to the end of the third.  I just wasn't excited about what was left at RB over a guy many people has as their WR1.

Yeah, I edited my post because I forgot to mention I thought it was a great pick. You got an elite WR1 at 15. Nice pull.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

The scoring & lineup requirements are supposed to force people into picking their poison. 

It starts with the 6 points for everything.

But having to only start 1 RB & 1 WR makes you have to consider what you want to do at the flex.

And having a TE required but only a few guys worth an early pick makes it tempting to take one early, but then you have to make up for not selecting another position sometime later. 

I tried to make TE not required and then have 3 flex spots but FleaFlicker wouldn't allow such a setup.

All I know is I hope my K is still on the board for my 3rd pick, but I'm sure a kicker run is coming.

Catching up.  Pick will be in soon.

Heh. Nice that 2/5ths of the offensive line that blocks for my first draft pick is out for the year.

Dang.

Kinda feel uneasy about everyone's health at this point.

Yep. A week-to-week leg injury with assurances Miles will be around for Wk One, Jacobs's non-surgically healed shoulder, a potential Mixon holdout/migraine issue, Julio's feet...

There are dings all over our picks, TBH.

I meant EVERYONE...like every player in the league.  I knew nothing of Jacobs or Julio's feet.

Oh, you mean like the most obvious thing in the world I'm conveniently missing while I hide out in my residential bunker of acquired dust and debris from never going out? Oh boy.

Not really even that.  Just jumping into a season with no team training for months and then hardly any practices.  Seems like hammies and groins will be poppin like bottles.

Prayers with the whole region.  Although I don't think he'll mind if we just give him the next highest rated Saint

He’s probably getting hugged
