New Fantasy Football League - 2018

It's just a suggestion, and it probably will depend on how many people we have returning for next year. We can keep the random order next year, no problem.

Discussing it in the off season would be better, I agree. That and "keeper".

You can have Bell if you want, I'm not taking him.

Can I have him at 10?

Can I have him at 10?

They're gunna try to make me take him at 3, apparently. The first 4 picks should be interesting.

I know what I would do

At 10... Maybe Kenny Bell.

SWEET!!!!!! haha

I can haz Saquon at 2?

I guess if you really wanted him you could.

I guess you can. I have nothing to hide, so I'm considering picking Todd Gurley at #1. Then, it will be a loooooooong wait until the last pick of round 2, when you pick right in front of me.

Only problem I have with the standing order being the draft order is guys will start tanking if they know they are out of it. Guys at the top fighting for position will get easy wins when that may affect a guy just trying to get in, just my two cents

they will do that anyway if that's how they play. People like different draft positions. some people like being at the top or bottom so they can double hit every pick and some like being in the middle so there isn't a big gap between picks.

It's just a suggestion, and it probably will depend on how many people we have returning for next year. We can keep the random order next year, no problem.

After I last left I thought about the "tanking" part a little. With that and other things in mind, I think we keep things as is unless we come to complete agreement sometime later (as has been mentioned). Maybe discuss again around draft time when we will all be back and tuned in. But as I reassess, I would lean back to a random draft again next year.

Not a priority this day, this month (including August).

BTW.....just a friendly thought to my competitors who choose before me. Think out of the box. Don't follow those stupid NFL rankings. Look further! Be ahead of the game...find the gems (that are not ranked ahead of my first pick or two!!!)





PLEASE!!!

I agree with the tanking aspect of NFL rules drafting. I also dont like how boring hitting a randomize button is. For the League I run I try and us other sporting events or high profile events. One year i used the Kentucky Derby, Ill put all the horses name in a hat then put all the managers in a hat and draw one each until all the managers are gone. How your horse finishes is your draft spot. I have used the World Cup, The Olympics, The Masters, March Madness etc. I have even used a stock price where I selected a stock and a day and everyone had to give a guess at what it would close at.

Just something to think about for next year, its all still random but can be fun.

If we keep the random order, I will try something different next time, like drawing names out of a hat.

Draft order usually doesn’t matter that much. Having a healthy team and being able to get those sleeper guys as well as navigating tricky matchups are what matter the most. Sometimes picking at the top handicaps you because you almost have to take the “safe” pick. If he gets hurt or has a regression your team can easily fall into the middle of the pack if you struggle with the other aspects. David Johnson owners experienced that last year.

I agree. I believe that you can win at any spot in the draft, and though there may be studies that will tell you that one position is better than others, in a snake draft and in a sport that is injury heavy, anything can happen.

And waivers can turn things completely around. I've acquired studs and I have even given up early on future studs. That's been my biggest regret, having an eventual top tier player in my backfield, only to let him go, just before he became the starter.

BTW gang.....I like trades from time to time. I hope many of you do as well! I find the bartering process really fun! Ideally, trades are made with "win win" in mind. Yes, we all like to make a positive deal for ourselves, but the beauty of good trades I find, is when one player has an excess of one type and a shortage of another, and a trading partner has the opposite situation. It's perfect!:thumb:
