I know in my other draft I had the first overall slot (killed it in that draft) and ended up with last waiver priority. I guess we can see what the others think as well before changing anything.


Speaking of draft results, I disagree with yahoo's report card ranking me with a C-, ouch.

No, that's a load of crap. The draft order doesn't really matter in the overall scheme of things because we use a snake draft. Only way wed do a reverse waiver wire order is if we didn't do a snake draft. No matter which order you get in the draft, it even out after 14 rounds. We used random last year and were not starting this shit the year I had first pick. When I had first pick two seasons back I didn't get the first waiver wire order. I'm already hating rank 6 and look forward to it being random cuz its fun. Just flipping it backwards is all kinds of suck.

Did you draft a def and kicker? Did you get a backup for your QB? Did you optimize for your bye weeks? They way this type of shit way too heavily because its all shit that can be changed first week. It def don't give scores out correctly . It never has. Be happy with your c. I think the year zoom zoom zoom one, she received a c and was suppose to finish like 4-12

[Brujah]

Tatts, your busted! I'm not saying any names, daser, but someone in your circle of friends said you hired a professional to do your draft. ROFL!!!!!

We're still gonna clubber you unless you have him watching your waiver wire each week too.

Do you have the app on your phone?

How do you see the grade you posted?

It is found on your team page at Yahoo. You should have a link to it in your linked emailadress.

Not on the app. It may be on website but I cannot check that until I am in work.

The app I downloaded let me set my team and everything but I don't see my ranking.

No one helped me one bit with any pick. I knew what I wanted and researched each position. I wanted different players from different teams so I wasn't relying on one team doing well. I don't even think I did great as everyone was picking wrs and rbs all over the show. Yet you can only have 2 starters each week and a flex.

I have to admit the waiver wire will crease me.

It's not as easy as normal transfers.

Yes to D and K, no the the rest. I also didn't take a backup at any position except RB and WR, which probably counted against me. Definitely agree that scores aren't given out correctly,


-Obdi- you see the report coming from the Denver Post about Prater's impending 4 game suspension?

Like I said, I don't really care (also because I did get the first priority) but I'm thought that that's how the system is supposed to run. (Cut to 5 minute search of google)- Alright, I found yahoo's settings and that info is posted here- https://help.yahoo.c...p-sln8827.html. Talks a lot about reverse draft order, but could do either way for offline draft.

Maybe it does even out in the end but I'd much rather have any other slot than last in round one. Missed out on the top ranked player in every slot before I could pick.

It was random last year too, I remember because I was 12th in priority after having picked at the end of the first.

[HoosierDaddy]

Also, I was given a C- or something last year. Yahoo is an idiot.

I'm a genius..... or I should at least keep telling myself that.

I did. apparently more substance abuse problems. It was supposed to be a whole year suspension until he appealed it.

Dunno why abusing oxycotton means you should be banned from the league, but w/e.

He was apparently in an alcohol program since 2011, so I guess it might be related to that - otherwise, I don't understand why this isn't counted as an off the field violation rather than substance abuse.

In the poll news: it is up .

Looking at the primary line-ups, I am surprised by how thin some of us are at RB. As a result, both Tatts and Obdi have really good starters all across the board. Had to pick one of them as #1. Tatts is better there and imho, also oh so slightly at WR (basically comes down to Green vs Bryant + Romo's fitness).

Brujah deserves a mention as he has imho a sneakily good roster, especially at WR. Venge managed to get a mix of veterans and breakout candidates that should see a lot of play at all positions. It was a toss-up between him and Obdi for third place, imho.

I am having a look at things today now that I am at a computer. I see that people have made moves already in the transfer market. Why? The Black Hand have made 3 moves already.

[Tattersail_]

I like Go Ducks, The Scrote Squad and Rob and Rex Rolodex teams. Especially with what draft position you were all in.

Brujah wasn't happy with Shorts and needed some positions filled up (K and DEF).
HD drafted Dri Archer out of fear that LeVeon Bell would be suspended for a long time, but that doesn't seem the case so he can drop him. He also didn't have a TE (because he picked up Archer). That's now remedied.

Obdi lost Matt Prater for the next 4 games and doesn't want to waiver him apparently, so he picked up a new kicker by dropping someone.

I think that's the summary.

Yea by dropping Vick. Worst Pick EVAR. That's some Andre level shit there.

Yeah, I was surprised he was the highest rated QB. Even Mark Sanchez has a better chance of getting meaningful fantasy points.
