Dude - if you re-read, I would have had Boldin, Boston and Bruce and MAYBE would taken one of those other guys as my RB3 over Duckett instead of Boston.Sorry for the detailed responses, but you don't have to worry about it anymore - I am not going to comment on your team anymore. Done.

Nice pick on Driver... He was top 10 two years ago and could return to form.
Nope - I will not.Counter all you want. If you call your response a "counter" then, fine, but I won't comment on your team anymore becaus it obviously upsets you.Just an FYI - I highlighted McGahee b/c it is obvious you don't believe in Henry, so McG would seem to be the clear choice. I still think you had blinders on re: grabbing RB-RB-RB when you took Duckett - your talk about Duckett did not address the fact that Dunn and Vick were both hurt and not playing when he was on that TD tear.

See your incorrect...... I had planned to go RB/RB and then goto WRs. I took TJ when he fell in the 3rd to 3.10.To get 3 solid starters at RB in a 14 team league is awesome. I'm kicking butt.

I have four solid starters at RB... So I must be kicking butt too.

Some pretty intense thoughts on a few of these teams, I might as well put mine up for evaluation and see where people's opinions fall:
--QB--
Tom Brady NEP
Not an exciting pick, but I'll take a guy who is knocking on the door of 4000 / 25 every year in the 7th round. Taken just before the sexier pick of Leftwich, but I'll take consistancy coupled with upside over just the promise of upside any day.
--RB--
Priest Holmes KCC
Having him on your team means that you can be assured of a playoff run, assuming you don't completely guff up the rest of your roster.
Charlie Garner TBB
Perennially undervalued, I think reuniting him with Gruden and plugging him into a (soon to be) run friendly offense will bring him back to his former self.
Chris Brown TEN
He showed speed, he has the size, and only an aging George stands in his way of being a good performer. I'll take his upside at RB3.
--WR--
Terrell Owens PHI
A beast. He put up 1100/9 during a year when everything seemed to go wrong. Now he is on the team he wants to be on, with a hungry talented QB dying to get him the ball. He will buck the bad odds that WRs usually face when changing teams.
Amani Toomer NYG
Rack him for at least 1000/5.
Keenan McCardell TBB
Rack him for at least 1000/5.
I haven't written up an evaluation of a team I drafted for a few years, it was fun to do. It isn't a typical team that I draft, but it seems like many of the other guys in this draft have tended to go for the younger more upside-driven guys that I usually snatch up. So I've pretty much just been grabbing a bunch of steady eddies, and hoping that paired with Holmes, that they will be more than enough.

Why don't we just agree to disagree on this.....I'm sorry if I was harsh in my counter critique - too much time on the flame boards as a youth...............

Yeah - it was all quite, but now I feel a buzz of activity.

Who is "Team Name II" and why is he holding up the program?HERD
So that proves my point from earlier in the draft... You wouldn't have made that pick had this been a real league.Not. A. Chance. I'm trying to build a good team here, but I'm no fool. If Jackson's situation ends up less-then-prime or T. Jones remembers his T. Jones, I'm dead in the water and we're not even halfway done.I made my picks aprroximating a "best case scenario" for these guys, and as such this team will either be fantastic in September or downright horrid. I'm not putting money on something like that....HERD

Changed his team name from "Team Name" to "Team Name II" when we got the BlueOnion.His FBG name is DocBakk.
Brintey Spears
Footballguy
Hey, Team Name II/DocBakk, etc, wants to make a pick. Can Red or FM69 facilitate that?He wants Anthony Thomas for the current pick.TIA
I agree with this.I kind of like the idea of making this a league. I'm willing to toss in a sawbuck on my team for the year. After all, Edge will be a top three RB this year, Holt will repeat last season and Favre will cap off his career with his best season ever
What do you say, Herd? You not willing to put it on the line that '04 Jackson = '99 James?I say we go with WCOFF scoring, no divisions, 13 weeks head to head, top six records make the play-offs, winner take all.

League ??
So the thoughts would be:We pick the people we want in
12 team
Do the FBG MyFanLeague thing
Just enough fee to cover the league and a small trophy (and sig line) for the winner
league rules decided upon by Shark Pool Polls
FBG buy in so we can use the name
input?

No, but I expect him to be the feature back this year. I can't see Warrick taking much away from the youngster this year - he's older and coming off injury.It's TJ's job to take - and he's still the Goal Line option either wayDanteHallOfFame
Footballguy
here's my team, i drafted 1.1 overall, I don't remember too many drafts were I went 1.1, so this time its available, I thought i'd take it and see what i can work around Tomlinson, who i think its the best player. Steve McNair (5.1)LaDanian Tomlinson (1.1)Lee Suggs (2.14)Chad Johnson (3.1)Plaxico Burress (4.12)Jerry Porter (7.1)Kellen Winslow Jr. (6.12)positive, negative comments both welcomed

Thats not what you said. You said I have 3 starters ... I happen to agree with slevin.Oh, and your team sux too

I like xpert better than MFL. Plus we DO have Red in this league right now. I'm not sure if he participates in leagues on his own site though...I also wouldn't give a poo about a trophy. Sig line or pride is plenty for me. I play EVERY game to win anyway. I don't need a trophy to show off.
Brintey Spears
Footballguy
I don't know what the deal is with Team II, but as soon as FM or Red see the message, he will hae A-Train. Maybe Shadow could pre-draft and we would end up knocking out 4 picks from that?Just a thought...Oh, and poor Onion's pre-draft didn't take.

Footballguy
Weird.I can only get myself motivated to play hard if there is something at stake. Not always money, but with you clowns I want something out of it. It doesnt need to be money, but I have the vision ... this dream, of a "Shark Pool FF League Champion" trophy. I can bring it to work, show all my friends. Im bound to get bunches of strange

Fortunately, this is the opinion that will allow Dunn to be underrated YET AGAIN, and fall to a spot in most drafts where he will represent tremendous value.

Guys, please predraft if you aren't going to be around. I know I selected a 6 hour draft, but it would be nice to finish by the end of the weekend. Thanks..
footballman_696969
Footballguy
I just realized that I can change the time per pick in my commissioner panel. Should we find a time where we can all be here and finish the draft with 2 mins/pick? Change it to a few hours/pick? Or just leave it the way it is?
footballman_696969

You know I can never say no to a challenge, bro. I do like my team alot, but we are very far away from the start of the season. Would we keep these teams or redraft in the summer? Would we play for bragging rights or for money?Edit: I'd like to redraft in the summer and make it a small money league ($25/person) and have the winner be the Shark Pool Champion. Maybe kick out the worst 7 teams(according to recrd) and bring in 7 new owners from the shark pool?

JAA could you explain your jon kitna pick??
DanteHallOfFame
Footballguy
also, I think we might be done for the night, BlueOnion said he was gon for the night or something like that earlier in a post, and he said he'll predraft, but either his players got picked or he forgot to actually predraft

i think most of you guys have read scouting reports and such about Kellen Winslow Jr. and almost all says he's the best prospect to come out in a long time, so with my pick, at this point, i'm assuming he goes to a team and immediately becomes a huge part of an offense and get utilized heavily. I don't think any TE left on the board will match his production, and plus, most TEs, for the exception of the top few, are inconsistent with their production each year.
MBennett at 2.12? You guys DO realize he did NOT tear an ACL - he just had a broken foot, right? And you DO realize he had a monster year prior to the injury, right? And you also realize OSmith wasn't some 1st round pick that the Vikings brass have to push onto the field to save face, but just a 4th round RB that didn't win the job in MBennett's abscence, right?I was high on OSmith last year because I saw he had an opportunity. And you know what? He blew it! Right now, he is a totally unproven 4th round RB with a history of being a bit of a problem (changing colleges). MBennett proved he could be a top back for at least one year. Why is MBennett even being questioned as the clear starter here? His foot should be healed, and he should be ready to go. OSmith can be forgotten on the bench because the Vikings invested little in him.Talk about steals. You guys are grabbing torn ACLs high in round one, but the broken foot plummets almost to round 3.

I'm about 3 weeks from unveiling trophy leagues on my site, so if you did want to go through Xpert Leagues I would already have a way to get the winner a trophy. And for the trophy doubters in the group, I have to say I used to agree with you. I always said if I won one of those trophies with the gold plastic running back on the top, I would hide it in my closet. But what I am going to be offering is going to be totally different. If anyone wants more details they can PM me..Two other things.1. I'm confused about the Kitna pick as well.2. Should I trade out A Pinner at 7.9 for A Train? It seemed that that's who duceduce wanted from the message board, but pick 7.9 wasn't a computer selection so I'm assuming that either the commish made the pick or duceduce did.Weird.I can only get myself motivated to play hard if there is something at stake.

7.12 JAA J Kitna QBlol ... Either something happened with my cheatsheet or I screwed up my cheatsheet. Oh well, it doesnt matter.Got this trade offer in the mail
Looks a little confusing, but I think I will have to pass on the offer. Typically with owners I will be all nice and say astuff like "I dont think this improves my team", "I like EG a lot, but I dont think I can trade AQ for him", blah blah blah blah, but with you sharks, this trade offer can bite me
