Okay, we had our draft yesterday, early, we usually do it on Labor Day weekend, but that didn't work out. You care.

I was the sixth pick in a ten team league with each TD being 6 points, and it's a points per reception league. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 Rec, 1 PK, 1 DEF. There were 16 rounds. This is my team:

QB Manning, Peyton
QB Delhomme, Jake
QB Cutler, Jay

RB Johnson, Larry
RB Jones-Drew, Maurice
RB Portis, Clinton
RB Norwood, Jerious
RB Washington, Leon

WR Edwards, Braylon
WR Williams, Demetrius
WR Johnson, Calvin
TE Gates, Antonio
TE Shockey, Jeremy
TE Davis, Vernon

PK Stover, Matt

TDEF Bears, Chicago

I'm thinking I'd like to add another running back that has a better chance to have a better than expected year, maybe dump Leon Washington or Vernon Davis for him. The guys that jump out on the free agent board are Chris Brown, LenDale White, Marcel Shipp, and Anthony Thomas. Some guy drafted Chris Henry from the Titans, he's had a strong preseason, but will he be the full time back this year?

It's hard for me to remember, I don't have the draft sheet in front of me, but it basically went like this:

Johnson fell to me at six, Jones-Drew second round, Manning third (was really shocked he dropped that far), and after that it gets hazy. I'll have to go back and look....Gates didn't really slip, we just don't have a roster spot for TE's, they get lumped into the reciever category, so normally a gaggle of WRs go ahead of guys like Gates and Shockey. I think I took Gates in the fourth....

He normally doesn't go in the first, early second. Points per reception leagues change when WRs and RBs get picked quite a bit. This year was pretty strange, it was really RB heavy in the first two rounds. IGs, here are the first four rounds, I bolded the guy who picked second.

yeah our league is 1 pt per reception and theres always a huge run of rb's in the first two rds...manning is usually the one guy that breaks that up

jackson
jones
TO

is what the number two guy in your league got...TO seems to be the popular pick at 22 there...ive looked at a ton of mocks to see what i can expect to get at the 19th and 22nd picks and he is consistenly in there

If I were him, I would have gone 1. Jackson, 2. Manning/Steve Smith, 3.Lynch/Jacobs

I didn't have Thomas Jones rated so highly, maybe around 22-26th overall. I think he reached for him because he needed another RB and felt the drop off was pretty great after that.

thats EXACTLY what im worried about at 19 or 22...being suckered in at a rb reach because by the time your next pick comes around youre looking at brandon jacobs or someone likethat as your #2 back...i like how john t got palmer in the 4th though

Palmer slipped for sure. See how it goes though, some people get so locked into having to draft a certain position, they don't even notice great players available to them when they draft.

You're going to land Steven Jackson with your first pick, so you can cobble a RB2 together with a guy like Jacobs, Benson, Lynch, and some guys that fall later. Play the matchups at that point. Anyone who is playing against an L.T. or a Jackson has to make up so many points - L.T. and Jackson can and do put up 25+ on a week to week basis - with a guy like that you aren't so locked into need a stud RB2 like another team. Go back to last year and see what Jackson and L.T. did on an average week if you can. It's sick.

tell me i suck, 6th pick in 10 team league:

1. addai
2. harrison
3. evans
4. bulger
5. deuce
6. heap
7. branch
ne defense
rackers
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Doubtful the draft was nine rounds. Who else did you pick? Based on the fact you didn't post it, I am assuming you are ashamed, and you suck, like your running backs.

I'm still marveling at PPinDC's running backs. I think some people in his league must be a little slow.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?
