I don't really like auctions, but that is probably more because I just got used to snake over the year. Auctions are really probably the most fair way to put everyone on equal footing. Snake does that pretty well too, and this year the talent is well spread out, but there have been many years where drafting #1 or like top 4 or 5 clearly gave that/those teams an advantage.

This year I would have been happy anywhere and actually preferred to go later, because I wanted to draft RBs with my first two picks. I was hoping to get just one of my first tier and ended up with two. My backups were in my second tier of RBs.

I also felt the tiers for other positions were MUCH larger. Except maybe the top tier for QB and WR, but the next tiers were so huge if you missed the first tier you could wait for a awhile.

Yeah, pretty happy with how the draft turned out. All the teams seems pretty even.

Shout out to bwgood77 and bleu for organizing everything!

Gonna be a fun season!

I was looking to pick up Fuller too, how did you pick him up? It doesn't even show you signed him in the transaction box. Did you draft him? And I made you an offer since you are reportedly looking bolster your RB crew.

Second money league for 1000

Luck (I really have faith in him this year)
Gurley
D. Martin
A. Robinson
A. Jeffery
G. Olsen
L. Murray or l. McCoy
Panthers d
M. Crosby
D. Baldwin
M. Gordon
K. Benjamin
Duke Johnson
Tj yeldon
A. Hurns

Going to trade for a wide receiver (already have an offer for some good ones, just have to decide if I lose Murray or McCoy) and drop one of duke or tj for back up qb, but I expect both to have decent seasons

Damn this team is actually freaking stacked. How the hell did you do this? I'd be pumped if I had this.

Huh? I didn't pull it off the table. Oh wait, its because I made a waiver claim so I lost a roster spot. But here, I'll fix it and I'll sent it again.

I've done both. I did draftkings last year and fanduel before that at some point but you can't do fanduel in Texas anymore.

As a Stefon Diggs and Jerick McKinnon owner, I was hoping for a different Viking starter to go down... Oh well.

As an AP owner, I'm not complaining.

I'm hoping the Cowboys use Morris as their power back in the red zone area.

Anybody in need of another QB? Might not be a bad idea to go pick up Shaun Hill from Minnesota.

OnceUponADime · Post #198 » by **OnceUponADime** » Wed Aug 31, 2016 1:06 am

I need a QB because my options are just Fitzpatrick and Prescott but Shaun Hill is such garbage, I think I'd have to pass.

Plus Minnesota isn't gonna pass the ball much anymore anyway.

I was thinking if we have enough people interested here, we can get a private league going on there for wk 1 for fun so with like maybe not so high buy-ins so that everyone can afford it too.

Well did you see the other thread? I ran into him on the Raptors forum and told him to post it here. No matter how many places you post things or try to get people interested for football stuff here, it's tough. I told him to start with a 10 person league with a low bye in. If it fills up he can do another one, and then from there we can expand.

I didn't join it yet, but I guess I will now.
