Draft Tonight... (1 Viewer)

So what exactly is a "satellite league"?
You would have to go to Payday and see if there is any indication of what THEY meanAs joffer said, the name was "borrowed" from the poker world, where "satellite tournaments" would reward the winner with an entry into a more expensive league.For FF, both WCOFF and NFFC run "true" satellite leagues where the winner would get a free entry to the following year's event, but now loosley call al their online, preseason leagues "satellite" leagues.

Yeah, I read through the site, and it doesn't seem to be anything like the poker satellite games. Looks pretty normal to me, but not enough of the entry fees are paid out, IMO.
 
OK, maybe it's not the perfect definition of a "satellite league." It still looks like a fun 12-team league.

One more spot left, if anyone has the itch to draft for real tonight.

 
OK this is bad. I emailed the help email (dcella@paydaysports.com <dcella@paydaysports.com>) and got a failure notice.
I just emailed the same exact address and got a reply right back. I asked for my draft slot and got it within Seconds.
Yeah that's weird. I got a reply right away with my pick too, but I'm still getting failure notices. Oh well.I'm picking #2 - how about you?

I am picking #8
 
Yeah if anything it's a warm-up. I also have the the #2 pick in my live draft next month, so this will be a nice test run. The scoring system here is a bit different than my main league, though.

 
OK just to help eliminate any potential confusion: the chat box in the draft console is the same as the main chat box. You can't open both at the same time, so just be in the draft console at 7:30.

 
That was fun; just like every other team in the league, I thought I had a good draft. If for nothing other than informational purposes, I'll break down my picks.

Roster - 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), K, D

Scoring - Fairly standard, 0.5 PPR for RBs, 1 PPR for WRs, 2 PPR for TEs... bonuses for 300, 100 yard games. 6 pt QB TDs.

Picked #1 overall

1 - LT: No brainer.

2 - Ronnie Brown: Wanted a top WR and RB at the turn; took the top RB on my board.

3 - Edgerrin James: The top WRs were gone and since it's a flex league, took James. With Brown and James, took RBs that will catch some passes.

4 - Hines Ward: Had to go WR here; pickings were slim... Ward was my #1 left.

5 - Braylon Edwards: WRs were really weak; took Edwards hoping for lightning in a bottle; other options were Cottchery, Galloway & Glenn.

6 - Julius Jones: Wanted a backup RB; best RB left with legitimate chance for playing time. Others left were Droughns, K. Jones...

7 - Joey Galloway: One of the few starting WRs left on the board.

8 - Michael Turner: LT insurance.

9 - Kevin Curtis: Top backup WR; the Eagles WR are a crapshoot and I'm betting on Curtis with a ninth.

10 - Derrick Mason: Targeted him at the 8/9 turn; glad to still see him here.

11 - Jay Cutler: Waited on a QB; picking were slim... banking on potential.

12 - Dallas Clark: See QB, Indy has a high-powered O; TEs were taken early.

13 - Ted Ginn: Sleeper pick; expect little from him.

14 - Chad Pennington: QBs were all gone; reached for a backup that actually starts.

15 - Corey Dillon: Maybe he signs; no one else available with better upside.

16 - Michael Pittman: Snore...

17 - Indy D: Snore...

18 - Some Kicker: Nice and drunk now...

What I Like: RBs; should be solid at RB all season and might have some trade bait in Jones and Dillon if he comes back; solid overall value at most of my picks.

Where I Blew it: Everywhere but RB; my WRs are a crapshoot. Ward should be solid, but Edwards and Curtis are boom or bust picks and Mason/Galloway are old as dirt. Waited on a QB & TE; if I;m going to win, it will be all RBs... hopefully Cutler/Clark don't bust... if not, it;s the WW for me.

Overall - B-

Drafting out of the #1 spot is REALLY tough if you go RB/RB/RB. I tried to take a few solid veterans to make sure I get some WR points every week.

Here's the team I ended up with. I posted the whole draft results below that. I don't love this team, but I don't hate it. The computer picked the CHI D for me at 6.11 because I ran out of time trying to decide which scrub WR to take. I actually like that pick better than the WRs I would've taken (one of which I got three picks later at 7.2 - Cotchery). I thought I got a few potential bargain picks in here too. I probably reached a bit for Miller :thumbup: , but I think he's going to have a huge year based on what I've heard from training camp. QBs are pretty valuable in this league, so I took Brady a lot higher than I would in my live draft league (I have the #2 pick there too and I'll almost certainly go RB-WR-WR).
