    I think that your first round pick was actually a great value, IP. Good RB in 2nd round as well.

    Worked out great really. You nabbed the number 1 WR and didn't miss out on anyone at RB in the process. Pretty sweet it worked out that way.

    You could have given me first 15 picks and I'd hate it.

    I should have gotten Charles Johnson instead of Floyd, but I'm happy

    Of three teams I have, this is the weakest draft. For some reason the grades and analysis are not showing yet, but they are saying Camel Turf Toes has the best draft.

    My other teams were graded A+ and A-.

    I think Brian's Boss had a very nice draft.

    Dixie Chickens look stout.

    First and Plenty look stout.

    Cunning stunts could be very dangerous.

    Bible Thumpers will go as Green Bay goes.

    Brick Layers will be solid if/when the Brady drama ends.

    Brian's Boss will be good if Arizona is good.


    Those are my thoughts. If I didn't mention your team, it means I had no impression when looking at it.

    I guess it's safe to say mine sucks. It makes it that much more challenging to win and fun when I do.

    Russell Wilson and Alex Smith. Okay.

    Emmanuel Sanders- The second WR in a run-first offense. JMO.

    Is your team better than mine? Possibly. Is it better than the Dixie Chickens or First and Plenty? I think not. Those two are penciled in to the playoffs, the rest of us are fighting for the other spots.

    I agree mine sucks as I said. Camel Turf Toes and Brians Boss Team are also stong. Plug me in for 7th or 8th, right?

    You always find a way into the playoffs.

    I was thrilled with lacy at 4. Would have taken him at 1.

    A lot of leagues have him going before Lynch. Not necessarily the others. But I'd be happy too.

    Bell is a tough one this year.

    Not a huge fan of my running backs, but pleased with everything else.

    Yahoo has these team's drafts rated one and two. Have me finishing 7th.

    Finished 6th in draft but projected to finish 2nd. Not surely that entirely makes sense.

    Manning/Harrison won me many a FF titles using this strategy. All or nothing baby.

    You'll take someone's playoff spot. You're very active during the season as I recall.

    Hell he had already made moves within minutes of the draft ending.

    There are several factors. One is projected points for each week and your opponent may be hit with byes weeks which give you an advantage.

    All too often there are shitty teams that win consistently because you have the least amount of points scored against the opponents. Then there are the strong teams that would go 8-1 against the rest of the league on any given week based on points scored. However, bad lucks pits you against the only team that scores more points than you and take the loss even though you have a 90% chance of winning. Its a crap shoot at times.

    Projections mean next to nothing at this point, but it sounds like I agree with them. The teams that scare me the most are the Dixie Chickens (if Yeldon pans out), First and Plenty (if a RB1 emerges) and Global Warming (if the RBs stay healthy).
