Well, so far I'm pretty happy with the teams I've drafted. I'm more worried about the keeper I draft in a week. Keepers are Foster and Martin. Also traded my 6th and 7th round picks last year and it's gonna bite me in the ass this year.

In our Suicide League draft Cam in the 9th I think and that was great value IMO but now wondering if he will be a bust this year. Felt great about backing him up with Big Bendover.............of course I didn't notice they both have the same bye (rookie mistake)...........then again I wanted Ben so fuck it, I'll not be having a QB week 12.
In the Keepers of the Flame draft I went Murray/Foster and IMO lucked out and was able to draft a decent stable of receivers (VJax, Andre, DJax, Edleman and Decker)..........kinda wonder how it would have turned out if I would have taken WR at 15.....................probably would have been scrambling for RB like a lot of us were.

Also, I think most of us agree that mocks (while they can be helpful and give you a general idea of where certain players you want to target may fall) are pretty much just that, practice. However, I have yet to mock a team that looks strong when taking Jimmy in the first round, no matter what position I take him in.

I have also not seen a strong team that hasnt drafted a rb in the first two round

I know most of your feelings on QBs early, but what about TEs not named Graham. As far as the mocks, I did 100 or so before my draft- 95 percent of the time either Gronk or Thomas fell to my pick at 30. They both went before 23.

After about 5 or so, Im not really sold on any RB. Will be my downfall more than likely.

QB- Romo
RB- Gerhart
RB- Jennings
WR- D. Thomas
WR- D. Bryant
Flex- Harvin
TE- L. Green
DST- Cincy
K- Dawson

B- L. Miller, Hopkins, M. Ingram, Blount, Dunbar

This is my MBBRL team. All the RBs I wanted were gone in the first round, but I think I did okay. I hate the 12th pick in this league because the best values were never going to be RBs. Given the short benches though, there will be some potential waiver pickups who emerge as the season goes forward. While I don't think my team is among the best right now, I think I have a good chance to be there in the end.

TE is the same as QB. You better get a good value if that is the path you take. Thomas or Gronk in the top 30 are not good values.

So I did OK taking Reed Pitta fairly late?

 

[Sam Sportboy]

I think Fuzzy's team is pretty good and he went WR/WR drafting in the 8th?? Wasn't saying WR/WR won't work but rather when mocking and taking Jimmy my teams didn't end up all that great (actually mostly shity). Out of the 2 teams that Jimmy was actually drafted in the MBBRL I'd say one turned out pretty good and one not so much....................

BTW T, you have 3 players on that team that I was really hoping would fall one more time!

Yeah ha upside I like

Every fantasy team will have a weak spot. I think it all boils down to having balance.

For me the sticky note is unproven veterans and rookies. Some owners will load their teams with them because they may have a high ceiling or come with a lot of hype. Maybe stash one, two, or three of these guys on your bench but I feel it's risky to load up your starter positions with them.

It may not be as flashy, but a steady, stable veteran can contribute greatly to the successful balance of your team.

Another sticky is post week 1. With all of the planning that goes into a draft, it amazes me to see so many owners lose patience after week 1 is in the books. You can nab some real gems from impatient owners.

See, but in MBBRL A league, there aren't any strong, really good teams because everybody drafts well. Some may look slightly better than others today, but it is really close.

i suppose, This was more a consensus thread, for the people who are going to be drafting and those coming here to "rate" or "defend" their teams

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

MBBRL A- What is that and who are the participants? Who won last yr? Im assuming message board bragging rights ??

 

[tlance]

Yes, I think both of those picks were good values. One of those guys will likely breakout and be in the top 6.
