Thanks for the link. Interesting that the second QB didn't go until 4.08.
4 td, -2 for picks, had something to do with itThanks for the link. Interesting that the second QB didn't go until 4.08.
even if you did play it up i dont understand what kind of guppies didnt know the same info as you and suprised you didnt take him in the 2nd (if you had a late pick) or 3rd.LJ went 1.5
AP went in the 4th.
Vince Young was the second QB off the board. (UT homer)
Donovan McNabb went fairly early as well. Top 4, I believe.
Cutler went ridiculously early in our league.
Travis Henry slipped to me in the 4th round due to knee concerns. It was post-injury, pre-MRI and I played it up.![]()
12-team auction league, $400 cap, $10 minimumJoe Nedney went for $25![]()
Should have mentioned - scoring-only league (TD, FG, XP, nothing for yards), so a kicker can be valuable if your other guys aren't getting to the end zone. But still - Most kickers were going in the $10-15 range, with the very top guys going higher. But is the Niner's kicker going to score THAT much?12-team auction league, $400 cap, $10 minimumJoe Nedney went for $25![]()

Curious who went before him? Assuming one of them was Johnson.10 team league
LJ went 3.
Alexander slipped to 9th.
Steve Smith was 3rd WR taken.
Peterson went 45th.
McNabb went 59th.
Owens, Harrison, Chad Johnson, and Torry Holt have all gone before Steve Smith in various leagues I've been in, and I would at least consider doing the same.Curious who went before him? Assuming one of them was Johnson.10 team league

This is why I wouldn't consider playing in an 8 team league. None of the RBs not taken are studs but come on... Everyone looks like a Mangenius if you don't even have to go so deep as to draft starting RBs.8 team league, PPR, keep 2 players drafted after 5th roundHere are some notes:- LJ went 4th overall behind LT, SJax, BWest.- I actually traded up to get Peterson, who was still on the board somehow at the end of the 7th round (56th overall) and I'll be happy to keep him next year. Also picked up Taylor in the 12th round in case one of the two emerges.- Alexander fell to 10th overall, but injury concerns and PPR format probably have something to do with it.- Ronnie Brown fell to the 5th round (38th overall).- S. Smith, CJ, TO, Harrison, Wayne, Javon Walker all went before Holt.- Nobody wanted anything to do with Ahman Green.- QB's were flying off the board.- We don't have to start a TE, but I still got Todd Heap in the 14th round (107 overall)- Devin Hester was drafted in the 11th round.- LenDale White, Jamal Lewis, Julius Jones, Tatum Bell, DeShaun Foster went undrafted.Certainly didn't go down as expected, but no team really ended up too weak being that it is an 8 team league.
I should've also pointed out RB's that were drafted: Priest Holmes, Leon Washington, Correll Buckhalter (homer pick), Fred Taylor, Ladell Betts, Brandon Jackson, LaMont Jordan, Vernand Morency.I personally didn't draft any of those guys and I'm sure teams will make adjustments before the season even starts. In the 8 team league tho, there usually is too much RB talent to go around and not nearly enough WR talent. By the end of the season it evens out, but the reality is that even with 8 teams, not all teams have 2 consistent every week options at RB.This is why I wouldn't consider playing in an 8 team league.

I have the 5th pick tonight and won't be taking Gore if he is there.LT, SJax, Addai, LJ, and SA are my top 5.Has Frank Gore generally been going at 1.04 if he's not taken before Larry Johnson?I kind of assumed Gore was the consensus #3 or #4 RB, but in several of the drafts posted above, I Gore lower - sometimes behind Addai, sometimes behind even Westbrook.Curious what people think the general sentiment is towards Gore as we head into our drafts. Are people that concerned about his hand?
This is why all FF drafts should be held before the pre-season!Travis Henry slipped to me in the 4th round due to knee concerns. It was post-injury, pre-MRI and I played it up.![]()
Yeah, in my other non-PPR draft coming up, the big $$$ one that I play in every year, a guy in front of me is giddy as hell about being able to take MJD in round 1. I can't wait to see who falls to me at 1.12!!!DaWidowMaker said:The biggest to me was MJD going 1.6 ..at first I was like thisbut then I realized that S.Alexander could be had with the 7th (I had the 7th)

Maybe you guys that drafted this past weekend can just post the results of the top three rounds ???

Please tell me I'm not the only one who had to just google him???Some dude drafted Taye Biddle in the 12th.
See answers above.12 teamer, by the way. Fairly standard scoring....JaxBill said:How far did Larry Johnson slide? 1.03
How far did Adrian Peterson climb? 4.01
Was somebody sold on McNabb's knee? Indeed - he was the 2nd QB overall(!) and went at 2.02
Who did somebody gamble on? McNabb was easily the biggest gamble where he went.
OOF!Steve Smith going with pick # 2:1. That would be Steve Smith, W/R NYG
10 team standard scoring 6 pt pass td. My picks are in bold. 1. LTOn The Rocks said:Can I just say for the record that this thread is![]()

I took a calculated risk. The other sharks had decided he was too much of a risk. The guppies were following their leads.I didn't realize everyone passed on him when I made my S.Smith in Round 2. (1 point PPR). At Round 3, most people were concentrating on their WR1s and 2s (we start 3 and a possible flex), so I figured many wouldn't come back to RB until round 4 or 5. So I gambled and grabbed Ronnie Brown there. It worked out well.I ended up with...QB- Kitna, Big BenRB- Gore, Ronnie Brown, Henry, Deuce, CaddyWR- S.Smith, Housh, Evans, S Holmes, GallowayTE- Witten K- GostkowskiDEF- Carolina, Minnesotaditka...mike ditka said:even if you did play it up i dont understand what kind of guppies didnt know the same info as you and suprised you didnt take him in the 2nd (if you had a late pick) or 3rd.
I took LJ at 1.06 & ADP at 4.07 in the same draft last night.McNabb went in the 6th.MJD at 1.09 & Santonio Holmes in the 4th were the two big reaches early on.JaxBill said:How far did Larry Johnson slide?How far did Adrian Peterson climb?Was somebody sold on McNabb's knee?Who did somebody gamble on?
