Good Man Deward! Now I don't have to kick yer ass in two leagues.

12 days away NFC. Be prepared!

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » August 11, 2008, 8:23 pm

This is how the first round of my 12 team draft went that I do with my old college buddies every year:

Round One

1 LaDainian Tomlinson (RB SD)
2 Adrian Peterson (RB MIN)
3 Steven Jackson (RB STL)
4 Joseph Addai (RB IND)
5 Tom Brady (QB NE)
6 Randy Moss (WR NE)
7 Marion Barber (RB DAL)
8 Brian Westbrook (RB PHI)
9 Peyton Manning (QB IND)
10 Clinton Portis (RB WAS)
11 Frank Gore (RB SF)
12 Larry Johnson (RB KC)

QBs have more value in our league (TDs worth 6 points) so that's why you see Brady and Manning going early. QBs can put up monster numbers in our league.

I picked #8 and was surprised Westbrook dropped. I'm also surprised LJ went in the first.

Round Two

13 Willis McGahee (RB BAL)
14 Ryan Grant (RB GB)
15 Terrell Owens (WR DAL)
16 Marshawn Lynch (RB BUF)
17 Tony Romo (QB DAL)
18 Drew Brees (QB NO)
19 Jamal Lewis (RB CLE)
20 Earnest Graham (RB TB)
21 Maurice Jones-Drew (RB JAC)
22 Reggie Wayne (WR IND)
23 Derek Anderson (QB CLE)
24 Braylon Edwards (WR CLE)

In the second round, I had targeted a second RB (Lynch, Ryan or McGahee) with the 17th pick but all three went before my turn so I took the last solid QB in Tony Romo (Brees as well but I have Romo rated higher)that I knew would put up big numbers and cried a little as my #2 RB was going to end up being Thomas Jones (ball hog Favre now on Jets, O-Line upgraded, TJones is not in RBBC, 300+ carries)

The RBs just kept falling off the board. Bastards.

Overall, Im ok with my draft but I really wish Lynch would have dropped one more spot to me to solidify my RB position. I would have picked up D. Anderson from Cleveland or something as my QB a couple rounds later and have been happy (well, I would have been screwed because D Anderson when 23rd, doh). I didn't feel value in taking Jamal Lewis, Earnest Graham or MJ Drew in the second but depending on how TJones does, I may regret it. Plus I have to root for the fucking Cowboys because I have Romo (QB), Witten (TE) and Folk (K) on my team along with hoping Marion Barber fractures a testicle to my reserve Felix Jones gets some playing time on a bye week.

So there's your players to avoid for this year's draft! Westbrook and Romo!

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » August 14, 2008, 3:01 pm

Did anyone take Favre? and in what round? How about Rogers?

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » August 14, 2008, 4:07 pm

Bubba Grizz wrote:Did anyone take Favre? and in what round? How about Rogers?

6th Round
62 Brett Favre (QB NYJ)

12th Round:
136 Aaron Rodgers (QB GB)

Rodgers in the 12th round looks like a great deal. The team that drafted P. Manning grabbed him as a backup. Favre is actually someone's primary QB.

THE DRAFT IS TOMORROW!!!

I'm so excited I could pee.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » August 22, 2008, 12:42 pm

I am so tempted to auto-draft again tomorrow just to see what I can get...

Taison Earbiter · Post by **Taison Earbiter** » August 22, 2008, 9:43 pm

Booo to auto-draft, Booo I say!

I'm hoping at least half of the league shows up for the draft...I'm really looking forward to it this year after getting stuck with an auto-draft team last season.

Tyek · Post by **Tyek** » August 22, 2008, 10:17 pm

I will try but we have the kids soccer games tomorrow and I coach, so hard to get out of it. It will be close.

Mak · Post by **Mak** » August 23, 2008, 2:22 am

Yeah, I will probably be at work during the draft, but I'll try to go in late and at least get the first few rounds in.

Spang · Post by **Spang** » August 23, 2008, 4:36 pm

Using my personalized pre-draft rankings, the auto-draft done me good!

I acquired Favre in round 9.

I look forward to winning every game.

My apologies to those teams that have to play me twice.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » August 23, 2008, 11:52 pm

I expect 200 yards rushing minimum out of Adrian Peterson each game.

The board ate my first response about this earlier but:

I think I did something backwards in "cleaning up" my team. I removed a player before choosing one to add, and I now show that I have the replacement on a waiver until 08/26. I'm not sure what this means. Is that only because I went in reverse order (deleted then added), or is it something else? I replaced someone else the "normal" way, and it worked fine.

Right after the draft, all non drafted players go on the waiver wire for three days, which means, per drafting order, those that had a lower original draft pick in the first round (I think, didn't read the rules), have first shot at a waiver player. After three days, all undrafted players are free agents which can be picked up without waiting.

If someone else drops a player you want, that player goes on waivers for three days, allowing the team highest on the waiver list to pick them first. I think in this league, the waiver order is not reshuffled each week pending a teams's record. If you pick a player up off waivers, you fall to 10th on the waiver pick list and slowly work your way back up as others teams make pickups (or you can still get the player if the teams above you pass on the player)

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » August 25, 2008, 1:41 am

So I probably fucked up by removing my starting QB before I could actually pick up a replacement...

Tyek · Post by **Tyek** » August 25, 2008, 2:05 am

boog was it Donovan McNabb?

Spang · Post by **Spang** » August 25, 2008, 8:10 am

Boogahz wrote:So I probably fucked up by removing my starting QB before I could actually pick up a replacement...

Yes, you fucked up.

Add Jon Kitna to your team. I'll add McNabb to mine, and then we'll trade. It'll be a win/win.

I was dropping Young for Kitna, but this way you're guaranteed to get your QB back since I'll have the first pick of the waivers. I'm also pretty sure no one before you in the order wants Kitna.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » August 25, 2008, 9:00 am

McNabb is who I dropped. I have had worse luck with him than I had when I had Vick and Favre. I had Jeff Garcia on Waiver, but I canceled that. I added Kitna on Waiver for now Spang.

Spang · Post by **Spang** » August 25, 2008, 1:15 pm

If you don't want McNabb, I'll keep him.

Let me know.

Tyek · Post by **Tyek** » August 25, 2008, 2:49 pm

Sounds like you got it fixed, I had already put in my claim for McNabb and was going to give him back to you as well.

Deward · Post by **Deward** » August 25, 2008, 4:10 pm

AFC still has only 4 players in it. Not really worth drafting unless we get 10.

So, do you want McNabb back? You can't get him back mid-season, after he throws 5 TD's in an ugly, throwback uniform!

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » August 26, 2008, 1:50 pm

yeah, sorry, I haven't been on the board much between calls

I have never done a trade, so I really don't know what steps to take...and I don't want to just lose my player because I did it backwards again

Spang · Post by **Spang** » August 26, 2008, 2:22 pm

I'll set up the trade. It'll be a first for me, too.

*edit*

Trade is set up. I guess accept it or something.

Spang · Post by **Spang** » September 2, 2008, 1:17 pm

Is there a step I'm missing in regards to the Kitna/McNabb trade, or does it take a really long time to complete?

Games that matter start this week!

I was going to post earlier, but I can't find where to accept the trade at all. Actually, I don't even see the trade pending anywhere (no notices, etc.).

Spang · Post by **Spang** » September 2, 2008, 1:45 pm

I see this on my team page:

Team Notes

* Trade: You have proposed a trade to Noobtastics - [details]

Also, If this trade thing doesn't work, let's set up a time via PM to drop and add the players. I drop McNabb and add Kitna and vice versa.

I finally found the one line that Spang noted, and it is about as hidden as hidden could be. The email only told me that there was a proposed trade. There was no mention anywhere of how the hell to accept it. I have accepted it on my end, and I am not sure what happens now.

I think now all the other team owners have an opportunity to vote against the trade for a short time.

If you guys need to fill spots in the AFC...I'd be up for it. I'm already in the NFC but it's my only current FF league so it's not like I'm swamped yet.

Deward · Post by **Deward** » September 3, 2008, 10:39 am

I don't care if you play in both personally. We have one spot open. I can draft as soon as that person shows up (or emails me when he is ready). There is a spot where you can tell it to count week 1 points. I will force through any waivers that people request if it won't let us before the first game. The draft always seems to stick you with some injured piece of crap or 3 kickers.
