Tomlinson

[moochman]

i have a draft this Saturday where it's mostly casual players (few guys with magazines, few guys with their crazy computer program that always picks their team 1st and mine 2nd ). no idea where i'm picking yet but chances are high that i end up with LT and get laughed at...and then laugh all the way to the title (or at least the playoffs where i can lose by 0.24 points in the semi's again )

Not that you haven't gotten past it.
I am curious to see what your team looks like drafting against casual fans. Please tell me that Favre won't get taken in the first few rounds. Nobody should be that casual, unless they are in a money league where they can pay as they should.

it's a $50 league, so i hope somebody does take Favre early

i'll be sure to post the roster, although i've only won 2/5 years (should be 3/5) and only made the playoffs 3/5

Sweet. Don't they all hate you by now?

The league with my buddies is pretty much a casual league...some of the guys are a little bit more "hardcore" about it but none to the point I am.

I ended up with this team in that draft:

QB: Matt Ryan, Trent Edwards
RB: LT, Portis, McFadden, F. Jones, R. Rice, R. Bush
WR: R. Moss, OchoCinco, Cotchery, Driver, Harvin, Bennett
TE: O. Daniels

It's always interesting to me when guys go in these kinds of drafts...some guys go WAY early and some guys just drop like a rock for some reason. Like for example...I got Reggie Bush really late in this draft...no one wanted him for some reason and so I have him as the 6th RB on my team.

Can you play 3 RBs at once?

[mattb47]

Yep...and I should have some massive trade bait when the RBs start to go down.

You said they were casual fans, but you left out that they were morons.
anything less than a title would take an inordinate amount of bad luck.

Haha...yea, I had to draft a little different than normal to make sure I got decent guys at QB and TE and such but I still ended up with guys I like a lot there without spending high picks on them.

ask and ye shall recieve. 10 team league QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, K, DEF 6 PTS all TD, no PPR

got the 3rd pick, was actually hoping for something lower to have a shot at Fitz, but i'm happy with how things worked out. took LT 3rd to giggle and jeers of "ha ha you must think it's 2006". projected starters in BOLD

QB - Schaub, Palmer
(will platoon based on matchups, health)
RB - LT, Larry Johnson, Lynch, Bush, McCoy
i like that i was able to get Lynch late. got Bush really late (10th rd i think). not a fan really but hopefully he's healthy enough to torch the Lions week 1
WR - Calvin, Jennings, Welker, Royal, Henry -
got Calvin in the 2nd, was tempted to take Moss but i knew no chance Calvin would have made it back to me (guy picking next is a huge homer, so much so he made a bet for Lions tickets that he wouldnt draft any Lions...he said he would have taken Calvin. Plus i though Moss might make it back. anyway i'm happy, just not as much as if it was PPR. got Royal really late and Henry like 14th rd
TE - Witten 4th rd pick
K - Akers
D - Titans

[SniperShot]

Sure is strange not seeing Mr. Tomlinson as the #1 RB. Seems like he's been the number 1 RB to snag in fantasy for the past couple years at least.

[ryno486]

I took LT at spot 4. 12 team PPR. Start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR
Heres my team
QB: Ryan, Edwards
RB: LT, Larry Johnson, Moreno, McGahee
WR: Moss, Calvin, Santonio Holmes, Santana Moss, Josh Morgan (Calvin slipped to 3rd round!!)
TE: Zach Miller

I also got comments when I took LT at the 4 spot.

[DemonDeacon]

i still think LT should be a top 5 pick for sure. I actually draft 10/10 this year and i honestly think i might have a legitimate shot at LT at 10. (we have a custom big point scoring system, lots of Qbs and Wrs go in the first few rounds) But on the flip side i think its almost a must to get sproles. Juuuuuuuuuuuust in case. 30 is old these days
