I'm going to need to sit down for a while after that.
Yep, I was gutted that I couldn't make him Mr Irrelevant in our draft.
You know what, Alfred Morris has looked good in the early stages of the SF/Colts game that's just started as well. Bit lol that he & Peterson have both come in off the street & started mugging of much younger teammates who've been with the team for ages.
Just seen the Browns score, that must have been a thrilling encounter.
Nothing says back-to-back Superbowls like not putting up a single point in Cleveland.
Main League Draft completed (8 team, 2 QBs, 1 Keeper)
My team (with the rounds selected)
QB: Wilson (4), Newton (5), Luck (9), Winston (22)
RB: Kamara (1), Gurley (3, Keeper), Lewis (10), Lynch (15), Duke Johnson (17), Rashaad Penny (18)
WR: Thomas (2), Robinson (6), Marvin Jones (7), Watkins (11), Crowder (12), Anderson (14), Westbrook (20, news broke of Lee's injury right after someone picked Lee... so I picked him), Parker (24)
TE: Olsen (8)
K: Tucker (13), Carlson (25)
DST: Chargers (16)
IDP: Khalil Mack (19), Kuechly (21), Collins (23)
Pretty happy with that all round to be honest. Probably didn't need to take 3 QBs so early but I had Wilson as a top end 2nd round pick in this format so when he fell to 4 I couldn't not take him, and my weakness for Luck meant I couldn't see someone get him in the 10th round.
Needs more Ravens.
No idea how your IDP gets points but keep an eye out for Matt Judon, 8 sacks and 2 forced fumbles last year. Will pass double digits in sacks this year and I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up top 5 for sacks this year.
Carlson will probably be cut when FA opens because I've just noticed he shares a bye week with Tucker and I'm not holding 4 kickers (we have to start 2).
The other concern is Mack being listed as "Out" for the first game. No idea if that's guess work by Yahoo, but if he does miss it, I probably still need to hold him, and thus drop someone else (or play a man down.... which may not matter as DE is typically pretty shite).
Looking at some of the names that are out there on the wire is quite bizarre.....
Theo Riddick, Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, Calvin Ridley, Marlon Mack, Corey Coleman, Tyler Lockett... to name a few. May have to carefully consider some moves.

Coleman and Ridley look the most interesting there with Williams a close third.
Potentially two WR2 (for their teams) there along with an RB1. Obviously they have their cons (QB for Coleman, Sanu for Ridley and Rodgers/huge amounts of other RBs for Williams) but worth a punt.
Yea, Ridley is probably the one I'd look at if he clears waivers, but not sure who to drop really.
I can see Mack is going to be an issue.... I should have drafted Bosa instead of Penny (I almost did, but Yahoo said he was injured, so I wanted to look that up, and figured he would fall to the next round as no one had taken an IDP to that point.... but both Bosa/JJ Watt went in the next 2 picks).
What time's TTH draft? 8 or 9?
I believe it's at 8.
8, the other one was 9.
I could live with moving it back but if anyone objects I won’t do it.
It’s probably best to leave it where it is though as it’s been there for weeks.
My main question is are you updating this?
I'm good for 8 or later. Shouldn't take as long as the previous weekends draft.
Genuinely can't beat my keepers.
You can’t update that. It only shows the people who put them through on yahoo.
Wait so I don't get mine?
You do, they are on the draft results page.
Ah okay thanks, panic over!
Fucking lol at the state of that first rounder by Pleb. There's a fair few steals after that though.
Thought Baldwin was round two
Hehs.
To be fair you have balanced it out well by getting Ertz in R6. He goes end of 3 but mostly in R4.
More I look at my draft from last night more I can’t believe how it turned out. To compare to my championship winning team from last season:
QB- last year I had Luck, Ben and Mariota of which only Ben was solid and my QB2 ended up being some real dross like Brissett throughout the year so the upgrade this year is massive.
RB- mainly only had Gurley and Ingram so again have upgraded here.
WR- Had Beckham, Diggs and Allen last year plus Marvin off the waiver wire, but Beckham was obviously lost for the year. Taking that into account I’ve probably upgraded.
I no longer have the Jags DST but DST never pans out as expected. TE I was streaming crap last year too so Olsen is a solid upgrade as is Tucker and my IDP players if they pan out.
Confident in that team and in restoring the value of QBs next year.
Yahoo doesn't seem to offer a mock option with all keepers in place, so I'm putting them into sleeperbot to get an idea of how the first round will go.

It's all very mixed up thanks to the keepers.
Agreed. I’m not going to lie I don’t know how I feel about 2 keepers when we only have 18 rounds. Seems quite a hefty chunk of players are missing.
The app I'm using lets me invite people in if I want so you can come and see the carnage, but I've practised a few strategies just by myself. You can never account for the someone fucking Mahow over and taking Tucker in the 5th, or other outside the box picks, but from what I've seen, this is going to get mental due to so many being out of sync.
Anyone done yahoo on a mobile before? Is it reliable? Can you switch tabs/apps?
I’ll be on safari on iPhone.
EDIT: both chrome and safari are saying they’re not compatible on the “check if your system supports it.” Hopefully it works fine though. edit2: and firefox. Might be auto drafting lads. This is VERY BAD NEWS.)

Can you set a player list in advance?
Also have you tried doing it through the app itself rather than the website?
I did it through the app a few years ago I think and it was pretty decent.
Yeah, the Yahoo app is pretty decent to draft on.
One hour lads
Discord audio chat for bantz?
Not unless you want the sound of screaming kids down the microphone.
@Baz 8 minutes till drafting buddy.
My team came out approximately 50 times better than any of the mocks I did, so can't complain. Of course, it helps when the best player on the board is still there at 3.
Baz got an A- for his auto draft, obviously.
Your draft grades always suck if you don't fill your line up because it's based on the projections for the whole season which are obviously lower if you have no Kicker/DST every week.
But yea, I've noticed all my "best grades" this year have been to auto draft teams, which I don't recall being the case in the past. Kinda shit really.
The best way to get an A is to just draft the top of the rankings every time.
Is free agency opening up after the draft @Browning or are we waiting till Waivers hit etc?
Sorry mates I was (and still am) too intoxicated to have picked for all 18 rounds. I had set my predraft rankings up and was there for the first 3 rounds so hopefully you don’t mind too much about the autodraft.

Your round one pick was something though.
I was advised Bell’s contract disputes are bad so to go for someone else. I have faith in Saquon.

If anything the reports are that they are planning to run him into the ground to get full moneys worth. Given he's the best RB in football, that can only be good things.
Why didn’t first oick get him?
I'm a twit
He already had Leonard Fournette as a keeper and he said he'd rather have Brown/Fournette as his number 1 WR/RB than Bell/Hilton or whoever was left in round 3.
Don't worry, I was happy to take him.
Because #1 had Fournette locked in as their 2nd round keeper. Had they taken a RB there, they'd have been looking at someone like Amari Cooper being their first choice receiver.
They chose to have the top WR as well as a good RB instead.
