    Uh-oh - I am screwed then. I was the darling of the 'B' draft. Don't know how - I am loaded with a bunch of 2nd string RBs. Gronk and Wilson can only take me so far.

    Yeah the draft scores are nothing more than a good laugh.

    League B had Fusions with a B+ predicted to take 1st place in the regular season. Then we had 8 B's with my Team USSR predicted to take 2nd place. 3 B-'s a C and a C-.

    My team is thin as hell at RB and I am gonna have to hope Doug Martin has a season like he did his rookie year to have a chance at winning it all. image

    Not to put anybody on blast, but there was at least one pick in the top three rounds that elicited this response:

    I kept getting locked out right before my pick. It sucked. If I added someone to my queue or tried to read the latest news...see ya.

    I missed the first 5 rounds while driving home from an event and couldn't get draft on my phone.

    When I got in, I needed a QB and with Cam, Brady and Tannehill on the board, I go to select Cam and it's dead. With the clock ticking down I tried Brady and Tannehill too. No luck. Refresh. It grabbed the WR in my queue (my 4th in 6 rounds).

    All were gone when it came back to me.

    From there it was pretty much a "whatever" feeling.

    It could totally work out. No games have been played and luck can be big, but still...hard to be happy with a draft like that.

    Did anyone else have issues with the Draft Room?

    Sorry to hear that Jim. Mark had a couple of issues in League A, but that was because I was using the new Commissioner tool Eject-o-Manager.

    Seriously though, I think Mark got booted twice, but no one else had any issues I know of in League A. Hopefully you can use the WR depth to swing a trade for a QB.

    Grabbing Karlos Williams at pick 197 was just a bit of a stretch. Williams is owned on only a few rosters across all Yahoo! leagues.

    Yahoo gave me a B- and said I'd finish 10th. Maybe they are psychics and knew my #1 pick McCoy and my #3 pick Kelvin Benjamin would get injured 3 days after the draft.

    Not the way to start off in a new league by having two of your top three picks getting hurt before the first game. Plus picking last didn't help either. I might be psychic as I picked up Devin Funchess the morning after the draft.

    I really felt bad for those folks who lost Kelvin already. Now I feel even worse for those who just lost Jordy most likely for the season. My team just went from looking decent for a 14 team league to looking like a 6-7 team at best with Nelson going down.

    Injuries are tough but it's a long season and championships are not won or lost in August.

    I do think, however, that August 16 is too early for the draft. Maybe next year we can schedule it a bit closer to the start of the regular season.

    I was thinking the exact same regarding the draft date. On one hand you can't wait to get started but on the other you don't know who's going to be available opening day?
  • brendanb438brendanb438 Posts: 1,595 ✭✭✭
    Anyone against moving the draft to be either 2 weekends before or the weekend before the opening game?
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,820 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>Anyone against moving the draft to be either 2 weekends before or the weekend before the opening game? >>



    I would be in favor of either choice~I think the Sunday night before Thursday kickoff would be ideal because by then all the preseason games are over.

    UGH!!!!!! Just needed a win last week to get in. AP and Miller had their worst games of the year and lose. Then my guys go off this week. Such a frustrating game!!!!!!!

    Oh well, maybe next year. Good luck to all the guys left in the race.

    I cut three of my top 4 draft picks but I am still hanging on in the semifinals (vs. Grote) and cannot do any worse than my team that was 12-1 last year before not winning one of my two playoff games. Pretty strange to think of it that way. I have house money and my expectations are minimal, but you never know.

    Next year for League B I am gonna have the rosters set to require ZERO RBs but you can flex them in. image



    Haha okay we will not be doing that but damn at the bloodbath of injuries this season and especially to RBs.



    My work league is the only league that I have done well in this season with having the likes of Antonio Brown , Beckham Jr and some other monsters. The good news is going into the playoffs I managed to lose both Ingram and Rawls and now I am riding dirty into the finals with the likes of Hightower and Lamar Miller. Still a big fav to win since other players include Russell Wilson and Baldwin 1st flex spot, Carolina's D and tough choice of flexing in the 2nd flex spot either Bolden, Sproles, Bryce Brown, Randall Cobb or Zach Miller. So out of those 5 who would you guys flex in to that final spot?

    I'm playing you this weekend... I've managed to maintain my LUCKY streak all season, carrying one of the lowest point totals in the league, and THE lowest points scored against. It's anyone's game! Good luck!

    If I win it will be luck and if you win it would be luck, and the other team was 6-7 and got into the playoffs so we just need to be sure that Grote doesn't pull it off and luck would prevail!

    Not so fast, WCK, lol...I lost Jordy Nelson right after drafting him and my top 2 backs (Ingram and Ellington) but managed to keep moving forward, even though I have essentially no running game. Palmer and ODB have carried me this far. Marshall, too..

    Will never understand him losing his cool like he did. We shall see if he serves the 1 game suspension or not next week.



  • Just getting back from vacation - but man what a weekend I was up 50 points heading into Sunday/Monday night (I am Fusions in B League). All I can say is - it wasn't meant to be. Great game and great season.



    My only question - are there any running backs left??

    Congrats to baz518's Percolators who went 10-3 for 1st during the regular season versus The Switch Hitters who went 9-4 for 2nd during the regular season. These two teams managed to dodge the injury bug for the most part based on the teams they originally drafted and it shows that this season was a bloodbath for injuries. Tough though to see The Percolators take the hit of OBJ and his stupidity of earning the 1 game suspension this week.







    I will post up final results once the week is over so we can crown the overall Champion for both leagues. League A took it down last year so here's to League B taking the title this year!! image

    Wow, I am amazed that my roster of QB Rivers, WR Kearse, WR Hilton w/o Luck, WR Floyd, RB Morris, RB Williams TE Tye, K Barth and D Cincinnati was the Super Bowl winning talent for our league. I'll take it but by no means am I impressed by the collection of talent that got it done. Go figure. I am happy for the accomplishment and had fun playing once again this year. I am already looking forward to the draft next year. A special recognition to Porkins for calling his shot at the end of last year in a PM about me getting it done this year. So happy you were right!

    And thanks to League A for another fun season and Brendan for running things smoothly in League B!!! Till next year.
