The guy who drafted Bell prefaced it by saying, "Here's the pick that's going to win the championship."We all laughed at him. We're not laughing so much now...Marc Levin said:Ed Wood said:Marc Levin said:Gore went 4.7 in our draft, Bell 4.11
they both went in the 6th or later in all my drafts but one - Gore went at the end of the 5th in one draft.

I got him in the fifth round of my league which is very RB heavy. He may have slipped to the sixth but I didn't want to take the chance he got taken before my sixth-round pick. I was targeting him as my RB4 and was going to take him.Marc Levin said:
Grossman was drafted in my 12-team 16 round big$$ draft, but we have two Bears fans in that league and, yes, he was drafted by a Bears fan.He'd have gone undrafted otherwise.
18th RB while splitting time for 1 1/2 games and already having his bye.Marc Levin said:
SOD discussions result in people talking past each other unless some assumptions are made explicit. Leagues that drafted in September are going to have a very different answer than leagues that drafted in July, because leagues that drafted in September didn't see much value in Frank Gore. In fact, early drafts have more steals and more busts, because of intervening events. Late drafts have fewer of each because drafters have better information.As for stat gathering, if you're drafting in September, then anything earlier than late August is of dubious utility. See, for example, Dom Davis' ADP.
I got Duece in the 7th. Too bad the rest of my team is awfulLimp Dogg Bizkits said:
that is a steal, for sure. Hes on FIYA
Here's another: in an Antsports league (PPR) the #2 WR is L Coles, who I took at 8.11Of course, he's only 0.5 ahead of Berrian, but that's pretty sweet for a late Rd 8 pick.PS T Holt is #1 and A Johnson is #4
To say AJ is #4 is penalizing him for having his bye week. He's #1 in fantasy points per game and that's how I rate players.
Absolutely - so, when I say that I believe my vote will be going to TBell and FGore by the end of the year, responding with "they went in the third, so they can't be steals" is not a particularly productive response. Is that correct?Also, considering I did an antsports.com search of real leagues from Aug. 15 to Sept. 15, and came up with ADP numbers in line with our combined ADP info from September 4th, I am confident that, even if "most leagues" only includes leagues drafting near the start of the season, Gore's ADP was the late 4th and TBell's was the late 6th. Obviously, as we said all preseason, your league's mileage may vary. (but that does not affect who should be considered a SOD).So, as I stated originally, I imagine my SOD vote by the end of the year will be for TBell or Frank Gore instead of the current SODs (who I consider to be Grossman, McAllister and maybe Colston)McNabb in the 6th is not as impressive to me since, in most leagues, Peyton was taken in the first, it was at least two rounds till the QB2's ADP, and another two rounds before the QB4's ADP. Under our 9/4 ADP sheet, McNabb was the QB5 and the 47th overall player. Grossman's production is much more impressive for the QB spot.
Good call - Andre Johnson's been an excellent value pick.Not sure if he's a bigger steal than Colston. I'll throw Reggie Williams into the WR SOD mix.
Wow - great value - definitely a steal for you.Still, in the vast majority of leagues, it is really hard to call Portis a "steal."
Agreed, I honestly think he fell through the cracks. I went Rudi, Jordan, in the first 2 rounds and almost took Portis at 3.9, passed and Portis came back at 4.2. Draft Dominator is a great help in knowing who is falling through the cracks.
I figure you had to take your first QB in a start-2 at 3.9.And, yes, the DD rawks.
Should have...Gates is hurting me, and Top 5 qb's went off the board early. I couldn't pull the trigger on 5-10 qb's. I'm now struggling each week with Favre, Plummer, and Pennington. Already cut Brooks. 1st yr in start 2. Very hard to draft in this format. I will be better next yr.
The DD should have told you to take a QB before the end of the third round in a start-2. I know the DD loved Gates, so it probably told you to take him as the BPA, but it should have also been telling you to take a QB.Favre/Pennington in a start-2 isn't horrible, but this would be a better story if you had snagged Grossman late.
All three of these guys are on my 2-3 team...Marc Levin said:
He probably would have went undrafted in my league as well. I drafted Peyton as my QB and only picked up Grossman as a bye week filler. I drafted him because he will play @ ARZ this week. This will be the 1st time and probably only time that I start him. Not sure that I can pull the trigger to start him over Peyton unless the matchup is just terrable.
Colston = higher in WR standings, less well known.Jenning's been mentioned, but he was hardly unknown. He was in most FBGuys staffers' top-60 WR lists. Colston was much less well known.
Colston by a MILE. Colston went to freakin' Hofstra. The last famous person to come out of Hofstra was Bill Cosby.
Didn't Hofstra produce some good NBA players?
Claxton, Speedy 2001-2005 Laurel, Rich 1977-1977 Richardson, Norm 2001-2001 Thieben, Bill 1956-1957
Wow - there's some names.
Took Portis at 2.09. Didn't even need a gun or a mask, like taking candy from a baby.
How could I forget the Flashlight?Jeff Pasquino said:
