Green is a great pick at 2.09."21 out of the top 26 selections are RB."
Isn't this taking the RB theory too far?

Spankster here if you hadn't figure it out.Was very shocked to see Priest slip to me at #7. I understand the concern & all, but wow. I saw that andSpankster goes with Stephen Davis at 2.8 (22), and thus quietly slips out of the gate with a pair of very solid RBs (Priest, too).
Thanks Andy. I really like him at this spot. 21 out of 26. Whew! I feel a couple of these picks have been reaches, but I don't think I reached for mine. At this rate,there won't be anything left in the 4th!Green is a great pick at 2.09."21 out of the top 26 selections are RB."Isn't this taking the RB theory too far?
I think that's a direct result of the league size. Nobody wants to be the one who winds up with Emmit as their #2.I've never been in a 14-team league (or even a mock), so I'm flying blind. I do know that you guys who want to be on the ends (with 26 spots between picks) are braver than I am."21 out of the top 26 selections are RB."Isn't this taking the RB theory too far?
I don't think so.14 teams really seems to alter the dynamic of the draft. There will be 28 starting backs as opposed to 24, and it seems like 24 is about where the safe RB picks end and the committees and question marks begin. There aren't going to be enough good backs for everyone to have 2, and no one wants to be left without."21 out of the top 26 selections are RB."Isn't this taking the RB theory too far?
You did quite well.I like to get quality back as much as the next guy, I just dont think there are any quality backs left on the board. My picks were a calculated risk as I picked up 2 WR that were top 5 last year and the back that I get at the turn will likely be a marginal starter at best. In a league that doesnt give a point per reception, I probably would have reached for a back.
Thurmal34 = MinichSo who's who anyway?
I agree. I'm not wild about upside with Peyton Manning (nor am I wild about Randy Moss) but I simply thought they would give me better relative production than the other choices. Running backs will be hard to find, but they always are... (I don't owe anyone any money for this draft, right?Sometimes you're a victim of your draft position and that's all there is to it. I was left with Eddie George, Anthony Thomas, and Trung Canidate as the only decent RB options with my second round pick. IMO they are all too risky to take there. While one of them could do well, I'd rather take a guy like Vick who should help make up for my likely to be weak RB2 situation. This is a challenging draft and it's gonna be interesting to see what kind of team I can salvage from being stuck without a viable RB2 option.
Couldn't agree more. He'll be lucky to have anything at his RB spots, will be very interesting! Hate the Trung pick though myself. I don't buy into the hype what so ever. But, with the RB frenzy going on, I can understand it if you feel he's going to do alright.boy, whoever the guy was who went wr-qb is gonna be hurtin.![]()
Didn't anyone tell him?....(I don't owe anyone any money for this draft, right?)
After 5:00 eastern, we're all a lot more lax about the time limit. I would say predraft two rounds and then check back late tonight if you can and you should be safe.P.S. Where's Blowholes? Pick already!I wish Antsports would start offering drafts with 3 required WR starters, though it would now look like I can forgo the WR position for quite some time.Im starting to get scared about what RB will be left at the end of the 4th round as we already have 23 off the board. Ive only got a couple more hours till I will be incommunicato. I'll predraft before I leave, but forecasting 18 or so picks is going to be difficult.
Too late now for this draft, but mockers could always agree ahead of time to pretend that it's a start-three-WR league.I wish Antsports would start offering drafts with 3 required WR starters ...
Flex/Not TE Required is close enough, isn't it?Too late now for this draft, but mockers could always agree ahead of time to pretend that it's a start-three-WR league.
I'm sorry I don't see IRBG anywhere on the list....Whoa, We have a whole discussion thread going on hereCool
BTW, IRBG = IRBG

Unexcused absence.There's no reason to miss your third pick. Don't join if you're not going to draft.Where's Tom? I'd like to see what my next pick would be so I can predraft for two after.Where's that blowhole?? :(
People have a hard enough time making their picks in a timely manner, let alone this. This would probably give migranes to the masses. But, I like the idea.What they really need is "if/then/else" predrafting. So if I predraft 2 rbs and 2 wrs for my 3.11 pick for example then depending on which position I get would determine what I'd want at the 3.12If pick 3.11 = RB then let pick 3.12 = WRelse let pick 3.12 = RBend-if
Poor choice of words.I normally have it up at home,
