So if you switch owners, do trade offers carry over to the new owner? This may be a question for the Red.

Happy Herd Day - over the night, you must throw back:One from column A:Tequilla, Jaeger OR mixed girlie shot <---- ONLY ONE!!! Very important - esp. with Tequilla as Tequilla is a gun toting Mexican shooting up the stomach and not getting along with anyone. These are sugar based shots that are guaranteed to give you a nasty hangover if you overdo itTwo from column B:Jack Daniels, Crown Royal, or any other whiskey, UNLESS you are drinking them on rocks anyway, then you should shoot them freelyAND/ORCar Bomb, rum based shot, vodka based shot, anything on fire - for you, I recommend the Flaming Homer, don't forget the cough syrup.And make sure to drink one water per beer - if you drink no beer, just drink plenty of water - the extra trips to the pisser help cut down on the time at the barm, and they get the juices flowing. Also allows you to scope the bar for ladies to shout at: "Hey, it's my birthday!"Invest in Chasers - it's worth it.Finally, if the stripper refuses to spank you as many times as your years for fear of carpal tunnel, pay the extra money and throw in a lap dance.
Can't argue with any of the next few picks. I personally am very down on Ricky, though I love my Dolphins, and I avoid first round phins if just as palatable options remain (I see FredT as equivelant to Ricky and Edge) - hate to have both reasons for watching my phins killed on one play.Moss at 1.11 is absolutely no surprise given the fact that the drop just occurred to the next bucket of RBs - one of Faulk, SDavis, Rudi, or Barlow might be there when HERD picks again - or else another top WR will be and he'll have the clearly best WR corps in the league. In a 14 team draft, I would probably have Moss/Harrison ranked a little closer to the flop, but they are first round selections.

This is my first 14 person league. Just FYI. I've only played in 10 and 12 persn leagues before.

OK - I'm predrafted for 2 and 3I'll see ya'll in the mourning
A few peeps have mentioned this so I will explain my reasoning for McCalister before Ahman.Let me first say I do like Ahman, and could have gone either way with this pick, but here are a few of the reasons I went with Mccalister.[1] Age... Its a redraft, but still.. Backs are like chicks - the younger the better, as long as they're legal. [2] Although Ahman gets the bulk of the work, I believe he will get a little less this year with quality backups whereas the Saints have no choice but to give Deuce all the work as they have nobody else. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Ahman will have a huge decrease, but a small one may put McCalister on top of him.[3] I think the Saints offense will be money this year.[4] Deuce had all the yardage last year, but not many TDs... I see them coming this year. Anyways, like I said.. I couldn't fault someone for taking Green in this spot. Its splitting hairs.
No worries from me, dude - I actually have Deuce neck and neck with Priest and Ahman behind them. I love Deuce and would be pumped as heck to start my draft with him.Can somoene periodically forward the picks to the list since so many folks are now on autopilot - critiquing other poeple's drafts is a fun thing for me.
Or let me know how I can peek in.

Wow this thread took off since I predrafted at work and went home. I think we have more activity in this thread than we've had in the entire Shark Pool for a month. Should be a fun mock. My first of the year.For what it's worth, I would have taken Deuce over Ahman myself. I think Deuce's TD's will go up this year and Ahman's will go down, and other than that they're both yardage machines.I took Alexander at 1.6 - here was my thinking...Jlew - think he will be a big part of the offense again, but I have my doubts that he'll be able to repeat the numbers from last year. I think his yardage will drop, and I also would not be surprised to see his TD's drop too.RW - seriously considered him, but I have my doubts about the 'Phins O-Line and QB situation. Two key components of the offense. Besides, I'm a Pats fan and couldn't bring myself to take him. ;-).SA was consistent as anything last year, has always had a nose for the goal line and the Seahawks offense looks like it will have all the major players back so I don't see much decline in his numbers and could conceivably even see an increase over last year.

I've never owned SA, but would love to have him. He is so consistent year in and year out. I have high hopes for him this year and would probably rank him 5th behind LT2, Holmes, Green, and McAllister.

JAA still OTC? wow, and I got booted after 1 hour, lol.
I noticed that when I read the thread after I got home from work. I especially liked the one and a half pages of #####ing about people not immediately making their first round picks or predrafting when all of us signed up for a six hour per pick draft.Oh, and for you guys questioning my Edge pick, he will be in the top 3 this year. You guys were fools for taking McAllister, Green, Portis, Alexander and Lewis before him.
Did something happen in those 6 hours to change your first first 14 picks? What kind of a shark doesnt have his first round charted out? Or cant figure out a simple process like preselect. This reminds me why i hate mock drafting. Guess what, if everyone takes their 6 hours we get a tidy little 700 hour draft. I dont really care about the later rounds, but if you cant figure out your first round things dont look good for the rest of the way.
Metaphysical certainty eh? I've got Terrell Davis coming out of retirement to dual Barry Sanders for the rushing title, but dont worry Edge still sneaks in at #3.

woah sorry guys forgot there was a thread for the draft. Well I'm the guy with the 1.1 pick. This is a 14 team draft, so I wanted to test out what's out there a year later when I pick again. and yah, Tomlinson, in my mind's the most talented back in the league, I have a sick feeling of an injury coming though. Much like how Edge was few years back. He was young, durable and unstoppable. But I can't let a little hunch drop him down, 1.1's where he belongs.

That was me, I thought I had pre-drafted....guess I didn't do it right.
Nope. But unlike you apparently, I can't afford to sit in front of the computer every minute of the day.
Didn't say that I didn't.
If you paid any attention you'd know that I did predraft for the first round.
What, that some people don't feel like adhering to your ideas regarding changing the rules?
Everyone hasn't taken six hours for their picks, so don't worry about it.
Does this mean you're one of those guys who abandons a draft after he's had his fill?
Do you even know what that means?
Well then, you're a bigger fool than me.
I dont want to monopolize this thread. So let me summarize.No, thats what preselect is for.Good for you.So what are you whining about?When its your draft you adjust the rules the way you want.No, but why shouldnt they? I dont.Sure, and when some fool makes a declarative statement about something by its nature highly subject to chance, its a great term to use. Especially when you suspect they wont understand it. Im all about expanding peoples vocabularies.That remains to be seen.

JAA is still MIA. Should I pick for him? Find a replacement?
redsoxfan
Footballguy
Since the draft is going to suspend in a little while anyway you should just give him his clock time. That will effectively be in the morning and if his clock expires then we should replace him at that point.Hopefully everyone will figure out how the predrafting works. That is the key to keeping a draft humming along.

There is something to be said about a little trash talk during a draft.Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy.Sp what happens if JAA's clock runs out while it's in "sleep" mode?
While that is true, I believe he was referring to his week in, week out consistency last year - he had either over 100 combined yards, or a TD, or both every game except one - that means you could pencil in anywhere from 12-18 points from SA every single week.This defeated the perception that he is streaky and shoudl make him a solid top half of the first round selection again for next year. His weekly average wasa true average, unlike some other backs whose weekly average was skewed by big games versus off games.
Can't totally argue against this philosophy - Edge was #7 in pts/game, and he was the #6 back over the last 8 weeks, with the #7 pts/game average - the problem with that logic is that under the same criteria, Marshal Faulk was the 4th or 5th best RB in the league.Also, there is the consideration I mentioned earlier that Edge is heading into a contract year and he tends to play for the green, which shold give him a bump.All that said, categorical statements are dangerous. It is risky to state that Edge will be the #3 back next year AND that the other selections were bunk when any of those back selected ahead of Edge could easily leapfrog any other to be the ones in the #1 and #2 spots.In truth, the first round backs are ranked by probabilities more than projections b/c while it is unlikely LT and Priest finish 1-2 again in the final rankings, they have the greatest probability of any backs out there to return to the top-5. And the picks seem in correct order for probability of return or entry into top-5 status. For example - had Portis stayed in Denver, I am fairly sure he'd be a consensus #3 or #4 pick instead of behind Green amd Deuce on most charts. His drop is related to the quiestionmarks of whether he can average 30 pts a game down the stretch (until he got hurt) in Wash like he did in Denver.
