thanks for the response guys....... I guess 9 days before the draft isnt enough time for anyone too see it and give some type of response. Oh well FUCK IT, i will just start another one. Way to look out guys....................

What is the scoring system? PPR? What do you have to start?

If you guys are interested, I can try and do a little round by round analysis of what I think are Good/risky/value picks...

Edit: I see there is some IDP...I'm big on that...I'd really like to know the scoring and what you have to start for defensive players because there looks like VERY some interesting picks!!

Yeah bitches, time to get ur asses whooped. Lol.

I think the biggest reach I saw was ScottSEC drafting Drew Brees so high, but dude does have a lot of weapons so we'll see.

[MYboyBISPING]

For some reason I still think LJ was a bad move. That's what I get have friends over when I'm trying to draft, I think I got pressured. ScottSEC with Drew in the 1st is the shocker.

Here's this league scoring system.

Im soooo disappointed in my draft but they are solid.

With respect to reaches, yeah Brees was a bit of a reach, Garrard in the 3rd was a reach as well, great football player, but not necessarily a good fantasy quarterback, and in my opinion, anyone that drafted kickers before round 17 reached!!! The difference in fantasy production between the best kickers and the ok kickers is pretty minimal.

Thanks for the scoring system MyboyBisping. I have one other questions, do CB's get points for return yards? Please say yes as that would be the only thing that would justify some of the Defensive picks. I'm also going to assume that its DL, LB, and DB (not DL, DL, DB)

If you guys don't mind, I'm going to drop some IDP (individual defensive player) knowledge on you guys (basically IDP strategies). Looking at the defensive players that were drafted, it seems pretty clear that this is first time using IDP for the majority of you. If no one has objections, i'll send it later on.

My stupid ass took a kicker way too early and then dropped his ass anyway.

As far as the postitions go, DL can be a DL or LB and obviously DB is CB or S. No points for return yards but ther are points for return TD's.

I think some of the guys didn't realize at first DL was for both DL and LB. The ones who really got hurt were the guys who didn't actually draft but used pre rankings, for some reason using pre rankings fucks up on IDP's.

Al ;ot of the guys have since went and picked up and dropped guys on waivers so it should be all good now.

I must say though, I feel really godd about getting Ryans, Whitherspoon and Willis as my DL's.

Ok...that makes much more sense about the automated draft function...going through the draft quickly, these players or not even on rosters!!! (or suck balls)

Willie Andrews - Released by the Patriots on July 1st.
Travis Williams - Waived by Falcons on July 27th, and he's a 215 pound LB….
Josh Wilson - CB for Seahawks, 9 tackles last year, 385 Kickoff returns yds
Julian Jenkins - released by the Broncos on June 13th
Jason Ferguson - nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme - not a fantasy scoring position
Abdul Hodge - coming off 2 years of knee surgeries, he is the 4th best LB on the Packers (at best)…no other Packers have been selected
Marcus Bell - ??
Ahmad Brooks - Too risky of a pick. He'll only have value if he wins the starting Mike LB position, if he does he has good potential, but there are still much better picks at this point who are guarenteed to start and will be top 5 LB's.
Rodney Leisle - Has not registered a sack in his 3 years in the NFL
Edgerton Hartwell - Cut on Aug 13 from the Raiders
Jorge Cordova - Not starting on the Titans
James Reed - Placed in IR ending his season on Aug 10.
Kimo von Oelhoffen - released on August 10th

I agree with you; Ryans, Witherspoon and Willis are top notch, Witherspoon being the weakest however.

Most of the guys you have listed have already been dropped. I told these guys way in advance that IDPs would be involved and if they weren't going to be at the live draft to make sure to rank them.

And yeah, I know Whitherspoon is the weakest of the 3 but he was a homer pick plus with a much improved D-line I think his very respectable numbers from last year will go up.

Ha ha bitches, it starts tonight. I will defend my title.
