hey leave my Ottawa Chief out of this

Hopkins at 11 wow this really is the MBBRL

Yeah I was actually one of the drafters that caused some of the running back craziness this time. I went RB, RB, RB to start, and I never do that, but I didn't draft another one until round 11, so I tried to help out after that.

Round 1 pick 4 David Johnson
Round 2 pick 21 Joe Mixon
Round 3 pick 28 Lesean Mccoy
Round 4 pick 45 Demaryius Thomas
Round 5 pick 52 Deshaun Watson
Round 6 pick 69 Alshon Jeffery
Round 7 pick 76 Delanie Walker
Round 8 pick 93 Randall Cobb
Round 9 pick 100 Wil Fuller
Round 10 pick 117 Jaguars D/ST
Round 11 pick 124 C.J. Anderson
Round 12 pick 141 George Kittle
Round 13 pick 148 Greg Zuerlein
Round 14 pick 165 Michael Gallup

Obviously I like my running backs since I drafted 3 straight, but the 2nd round wide receivers were actually flying off the board pretty quickly. Really wanted Keenan Allen in the 2nd but he went 1 pick before me and in the 3rd I just didn't like any of the receivers I had on my list as much as McCoy. Loved that Demaryius fell to me in round 4 and I wasn't passing on Watson because I don't think he would have made it back to me and I just love rooting for the guy too much. Hate the Alshon Jeffery pick, but I was planning on drafting Olsen and was sniped again by Smitty (that guy's an asshole). It ended up working out okay though since I got Cobb and Fuller for depth. I'm fine with Delanie Walker as the guy never gets the respect he should. Was the first to grab a defense and Monkey said on the board that it was a reach and then 3 more went before I picked again 8 picks later and then 4 more went before I picked again, so I was glad I pulled the trigger when I did. Drafted C.J. Anderson strictly so I could trade him to Treff and I like George Kittle as a 2nd tight end. Added Zuerlein and went with Michael Gallup in the last round because their truly were no running backs left worth drafting. Overall I'm really happy with my team, but I would have been a lot happier with it if Smitty wasn't such an asshole. LOL.

 

[broncosmitty]

Did you go through the entire draft on auto?

No.


I went and rented a room for wi fi.


This draft cost me $90. Lol

 

[broncosmitty]

Hopkins at 11 wow this really is the MBBRL

I got him at 14 on Saturday.


AB was the only non RB in the first in that one.

 

[Trudem]

well..might as well get this over with. Considering the amount of Keepers in the Barbarians, draft felt pretty much the exact same as always, except even the WR king, EHB was hoarding RB's just like everyone else..focker.

Drafting from #12-
1.12- Odell Beckham Jr. I gotta say I'm stoked about getting him there even though I think he's possibly the biggest douche in the league. I have him #7 overall, so at #12?..sure why not.

2.13 - Dalvin Cook At Trudem's #11, I had fantasies of OBJ and Hopkins (my #5), but those were dashed. Cook is a suitable consolation prize.

3.36 - Amari Cooper Foiled by Femurov's pick of Freeman and again by Trudem with Kelce..I dip back into the friggin WR pool. Cooper is supposedly Gruden's new Rice or Brown..if he can handle it, that'll be fantasy gold.

4.37 - Zach Ertz I'm not usually an early TE guy, but given the RB landscape, I need a perceived advantage anywhere I can find one.

5.60 - Golden Taint can't argue with the man's production. Period

6.61 - M. Goodwin leap of faith here, I'm not entirely sold, but if he and JimmyG are for real, good value in the sixth I think.

7.84 - Adrian Peterson Obviously RB's were bottom of the barrel already and was REALLY planning on Peyton Barber here (thanks Monkey). so long as his old ass stays active, I'll at least get plenty of touches

8.85 - Jordan Wilkins Leap of faith #2. Mack can't hack it, Hines definitely can't hack it. Wilkin can, but will they let him? I think yes.

9.108 - Matt Brieda Supposedly the Tevin Coleman to McKinnon's Freeman, if McKinnon stumbles, he may very well be the Freeman.

10.109 - Andrew Luck Luck at %75 is worth more than a 10th, especially with a crap defense

11.132 - Jared Goff Luck might be a great value, but he's also a risk. Might as well shore it up with the QB of last year's #1 offense.

12.133 - Chargers D/st Was really hoping the D train wouldn't leave the station until the 12th, but Bandit kicked it off in teh 11th..thanks Bandit. Nothing wrong with Bosa and Engram racking up the 3pt sacks.

13.156 - H. Butker well a kicker.

14.157 - A. Eckeler good enough to play a spot here or there. If the Chargers ever smarten up, could be really big. But something tells me they won't

QB's
Luck
Goff
RB's
Cook
AP
Wilkins
Brieda
Eckeler
WR's
OBJ
Cooper
Tate
Goodwin
TE
Ertz
D
LAC
K
Butker

Obviously RB's are my glaring weakness, but All in all, I ain't to upset with the team

yeah im not happy with my RBs either but I hope I have enough darts.

 

[Trudem]

Did you and Trudeau swap identies?

yeah I went with my suicide strategy from last year lol

BARBARIAN LEFTY - 9 spot
9 Melvin Gordon, LAC RB
16 Devonta Freeman, Atl RB
33 T.Y. Hilton, Ind WR
40 Aaron Rodgers, GB QB
57 Chris Hogan, NE WR
64 Jamaal Williams, GB RB
81 Kyle Rudolph, Min TE
88 Jamison Crowder, Wsh WR
105 Nick Chubb, Cle RB
112 Kelvin Benjamin, Buf WR
129 Ravens D/ST D/ST
136 Keelan Cole, Jax WR
153 Jake Elliott, Phi K
160 T.J. Yeldon, Jax RB

Well, did a few things that are very uncharacteristic in this draft but to recap: Took a very hard look at Hopkins at 9 but that would have been too anti-MBBRL and leave me with ?? at RB so went with the best RB standing at the time. Figured I'd go WR in the 2nd but there was Freeman sitting there - just couldn't help myself. Now I'm in the have to get WR in the 3rd - so for the sake of Bandit (who is really high on Hilton) grabbed him (hope he's right). In the 4th, looked at my list and Rodgers was only 3 players down from the top of it. Figured there was no way he made it back at 57 so went ahead and grabbed him. This is the only league I play with 6pt passing TDs - so may as well get the best. Needed a 2nd WR now and Hogan was still there in the 5th. Wanted additional RB help since both starter have the same bye - ah, J. Williams there in the 6th. Let's see, need a TE who scores - Rudolph there so ok. By now the RBs are long gone so went with WR potential - think A. Smith will love this guy so Crowder it is in the 8th. Now RBs are really thin, so who seems to have potential to start? Chubb has a lot of buzz so what the heck - there's no wrong answers in the 9th. 10th rd and just looking for flex plays now with potential, ok K. Benjamin is about the only receiver in BUF so I'll take a shot. 11th rd wrong end of DST run started by Bandit but got my Ravens anyway. Still looking for potential among the breathing at this point and hum, M.Lee out of the picture so take a shot on K. Cole being the favorite target. Best available kicker next. Then end it with a stab in the dark on Yeldon. ... based on last yrs will Fournette play or not play ??
All and all not unhappy but it could have looked better had I not taken Rodgers in the 4th and gone RB. Teams always seem to look better with a stable of top 30 RBs. .... the is likely not a league winner but may just be good enough to get in the play-offs. ...

That is what I thought... had to go back and look for myself

 

[Barilko]

well that draft sure makes going off the board at 4 a whole lot less likely to happen.. kind wish now that i picked lower than 4 to go off the board ..

or right up to 2 to get good ol DoublEE

 

[femurov]

This league is known for hoarding RBs, so I had to keep that in mind throughout the process.

1.10 - RB Kareem Hunt - Thought about DHop, but decided that I need to get a top RB before they all go in the 2nd round.
2.15 - WR Julio Jones - Had it narrowed down to Thomas and Julio, then Thomas went the pick before me.
3.34 - RB Royce Freeman - I usually don't make reaches like this, but RBs were already drying out.
4.39 - WR Doug Baldwin - I like him this year. I see him and Wilson getting big time junk points.
5.58 - WR Jarvis Landry - New place, but seems like he will produce similar numbers.
6.63 - RB Duke Johnson - More valuable in PPR, but should still be a solid flex here.
7.82 - RB Tevin Coleman - Considered him last round with Duke. Was happy both fell. Forgot this league wasn't PPR for a second.
8.87 - RB Kerryon Johnson - Wanted another rookie who had a shot at feature back status during the season sometime.
9.106 - QB Carson Wentz - WTF was he doing there in the 9th?
10.111 - WR Pierre Garcon - I intended on grabbing a 2nd QB there with Brees and Luck still on the board, but that didn't work out. Looking back, I probably should have gone with someone that had more upside like Edelman or Benjiman or someone like that.
11.130 - TE Jack Doyle - I have to start a TE.
12.135 - QB Phillip Rivers' bitch ass - Always a steal late in drafts. Old faithful.
13.154 - K Matt Bryant
14.159 - Saints Defense

I really hate the ESPN fantasy AP. It is horrible.

I have absolutely no idea how to access the draft room. Can't even find the league overview page. I can see my roster (lot of good that does me).

WTF ESPN.

Draft room doesn't open until an hour before the draft. At the time of your post, draft room would have not been open i believe

I am in. Figured something would pop up.

Still, there is a ton on info on the main league page I have no idea how to access now. Sucks.
