hey....hold on...I did not pick Gostkowski
Finishing my thoughts here:My pre-draft picks are in... Good luck boys.
High level thoughts:
1. Kept Fleener over Baldwin since I guessed that Baldwin more likely to come back to me than Fleener (not sure if it's true, but I ended up with both, so that worked).
2. Took 1.01 because I wanted Lacy - maybe I would have gotten him at 1.02, but I figured eliminate the risk. I didn't want Jordy because of his home/road split + toughness of Seahawks D, so I would have taken Edelman at 1.02 if someone else had grabbed Lacy at 1.01
More to come tonight.
Like this pick. Thought about taking the 4th spot and grabbing LaFell and Allen at the turn, but didn't want to lock in on 3 Colts.2.02 Dwayne Allen: I'm riding the 2 PPR TE thing here at flex; I think it's a chance to gain an edge....my thoughts are Allen has a better chance to catch 5 balls than any WR I take here would catch 10.....and my odds of a TD might be better as well....yardage=push or slight loss maybe....pecking order seems to favor TE's in INDY passing game right now over any WR not named Hilton.....Herron getting a ton too...considered only Baldwin here
ohhhh....I spent most of my time here complaining about ####ting the bed without talking about Brady......I had him ranked #1 of the QB's this week, so I was happy to get him here.....275-2 seems to be the floor for me with a decent shot at 325+ and 3+ IMO.......3.01 Tom Brady: after the mixup, I made a strategical error here even after looking at things.....should have taken SEA DST since Bamac has a QB, thats the part I missed.....I could give a rats butt about my kicker, and would have rather had SEA DST and then Brady in next round.....my mistake was only looking at RB and seeing that I was pretty much guaranteed getting Vereen later so I assumed I should go QB here and then PK if Bamac took SEA DST (which he did) beacuse I didn't care about difference between GB/INDY....really screwed the pooch here as I could have had an elite DST and Brady and whatever PK......I hate when I do this ####....it's hard enough drafting sometimes in these leagues or any other leagus, that making dumb mistakes like this makes it worse.....but then again, who frickkkin knows and it may work out for the best..
I suspected that it was possible that no one would have Wilson ranked #1, but, ironically given I was okay with #8 QB's previous weeks, I didn't want to get "stuck" with Rodgers, because I think Seattle might drop a house on them this weekend.ohhhh....I spent most of my time here complaining about ####ting the bed without talking about Brady......I had him ranked #1 of the QB's this week, so I was happy to get him here.....275-2 seems to be the floor for me with a decent shot at 325+ and 3+ IMO.......3.01 Tom Brady: after the mixup, I made a strategical error here even after looking at things.....should have taken SEA DST since Bamac has a QB, thats the part I missed.....I could give a rats butt about my kicker, and would have rather had SEA DST and then Brady in next round.....my mistake was only looking at RB and seeing that I was pretty much guaranteed getting Vereen later so I assumed I should go QB here and then PK if Bamac took SEA DST (which he did) beacuse I didn't care about difference between GB/INDY....really screwed the pooch here as I could have had an elite DST and Brady and whatever PK......I hate when I do this ####....it's hard enough drafting sometimes in these leagues or any other leagus, that making dumb mistakes like this makes it worse.....but then again, who frickkkin knows and it may work out for the best..
Agree from a game theory perspective, although I had Luck ranked #1 this week fwtw.Really goofed by keeping Luck, given the lack of dropoff at QB. Should've kept LaFell and drafted Allen/Blount at the turn.
you know I haven't really followed all that stuff but heard they check all the balls to make sure they are within 12.5 to 13.5 or something and then they give them to the teams to use/manipulate for a week leading up to the game......not sure if the pressure is checked again before kickoff ( I assume it is)....but then again it is given back to the team on the sidelines and anybody with a needle can add/subtract.....so not sure what the big deal is.....the refs handle the balls during the game, and if they noticed one or several being too low or too high to where someone would gain an advantage, they could address it....much to do about nothing IMO.....I'll need to see their balls first.Stinkin Ref said:whatcha got boys?
Vereen was the difference.The Vereen over Blount and the Gostkowski picks will decide this contest. Would have liked Luke Wilson, but not at the expense of Lynch.
