It was KDS. I had 8th choice and got the 5 spot.
Man sometimes I swear you just like to take a point of view just to argue lol.
After all your "I love drafting at the end it's just as good" posts, you took slot #5 over 9-12.
After all your "Gabe Davis is and should be going round 3-5 and mid 6th would never happen", you skip him at 5.05 and get him 6.08 anyway lol
Your team is amazing though, gotta give you credit for that. I don't play IDP so don't really know how taking defensive players later will hurt at all, but just looking at the offensive guys, it looks extremely strong.
Dude.
The 3rd person pick took 12. The 5th person took 11.
What’s with the obnoxious BS? Totally off base, incorrect and 100% uncalled for.
I would have taken 12, but it wasn’t there, nor was 11. You’re judging me based on something that didn’t happen.
And for this league I said I’d probably have to take him in the 5th, not “3-5”.
wtf man
I'm not sure what I'm saying is "uncalled for". I like your team. You crushed the draft.
But you called me out for saying people could get Davis in round 6 and that's where he's commonly going. And he went late 6th in yours. Suddenly the Gabe thread is quiet as people are seeing him actually going in round 6 like I got blasted for suggesting haha
And you bet your life that JJ went top 3. He didn't. And you guaranteed CMC would drop below 6. He didn't.
You're often pretty good about avoiding the hype train (like with Pierce, I totally agree with you on pumping the round 4 brakes on him). Just you really dug in on things like CMC and JJ and Gabe, and predictably, none of those things happened even in your own league. I think you just like to argue lol.
But I'm glad all your guarantees and 'id bet my life on it' all didn't come true, because you seemed to get incredible value on JJ and Gabe and... well pretty much most of your team was fantastic value and you likely have one of, if not THE top team in your league (unless your defensive players downgrade that, but I will admit I have no idea how to grade defensive players in drafts so I'll just look at your offensive guys, and they're fantastic.
I was making guesses as to what would happen.
It wasn't a guess, you said
"trust me I'd bet my life on it"
Throwing them in my face as though it’s some big “gotcha” is just obnoxiously lame.
You throw things a lot but can't seem to take a couple messages when you're not correct. Ouch.
I too am thrilled that some of the things I thought sure would happen based on 20+ years of history, didn’t.
2 WR's were never going to go top 3 in your league this year.
I typically go longer without a defensive player than most. This year I took my bookend DL in M. Garrett & Buckner, but opted to wait on LB. I hate buying elite LB at the expense of quality offensive players. The elite WR start to go in the 5th but this year they went in the 6th. I waited until later to get upside 2nd and 3rd tier LB.
Maybe a good strategy, maybe not. From the looks of your team it was a good one.
It usually works out great, and there are always FA LB to claim.
I love my team, and agree I killed this draft. Luck & health depending, I should be the favorite. I was focused throughout and stuck to my plan.
And I got lucky and only got sniped once or twice. I appreciate the feedback. Ease up on the “I told you so’s” a little. As commish, I have a good idea of what typically happens in this league - my comments predicting things weren’t intended as planting my flag. Just no need to try to rub in something that’s irrelevant.
I apologize. I took "I bet my life on it" and "trust me this is guaranteed" as planting a flag. Glad your league went the way most would predict it and should have, and you were able to grab the guys you want.
Title for you for sure this year!!!
