Is this the best year ever for the guppy homer draft? (1 Viewer)

[Lord Lucan]

We've all heard stories about the FF newbie homer who comes to his first draft and picks his favourite team's RB, QB, 3 WRs, aTE and kicker with his first seven picks.

This year, if anyone did that with the Patriots, they are almost certainly running away with their league at present. In most leagues it would have been perfectly possble to have drafted Maroney in round 1, Brady/Moss in rounds 2 and 3, Stallworth 4, Welker 5, and Watson 6.

I was trying to think if any "homers" could have had a similar season. Not with the Colts, for instance, as you would never have got all of James, Edge and Harrison in the first three rounds. The only one I could come up with in recent years is 1999, where a Rams homer could, had he been so inclined, have gone Faulk/Bruce/Warner/Holt (Warner/Holt's first year). But I can't believe there would have been many Rams homers left with the faith to draft all their skill players given they would have had to previously spent years drafting Tony Banks, Amp Lee, Ricky Proehl etc...

So anyone come up with a better "homer season", which would have been possible to draft? Also, anyone come across one of these New England "homer teams" this year, and if so were they unbeaten until this week?

Romo, Owens, Barber & Witten. The Dallas fan is 7-3 in our league.

This is what I was thinking. Plus he could have started in the second round with Owens.

We had that guy in one of my leagues (starts 3 WRs). First time player that's actually a Miami homer with Patriot envy. He drafted Ronnie Brown and then Chambers in 1 and 2. We are all laughing of course. Then goes Brady, Moss, Welker, Watson, Pats D rounds 3-7. We are all dying laughing at this point. He's 8-2 and would almost certainly be at least 9-1 if Watson and Brown stayed healthy.

Pats homer and rookie in our league is 9-1...

Maroney

Moss

Welker

Watson

Vinatieri(close enough)

Pats D

Just add a healthy dose of Favre, Lendale White and Edge...

I think so because this year all the "consistent" player scoring seems to be concentrated on certain teams.

How about the guy in my league who loves the Vikings and the Patriots?

1.4 - Adrian Peterson

2.7 - Randy Moss

3.4 - Tom Brady

4.7 - Chester Taylor

5.3 - Wes Welker

6.7 - Donte Stallworth

7.3 - Sammy Morris

8.7 - Ben Watson

9.3 - Kevin Faulk

10.7 - Troy Williamson

11.3 - Tarvaris Jackson

12.7 - Patriots Defense

13.3 - Vikings defense

He's 9-1 with most points scored by far.
