Who are you in the league, zach?? IDK your name Embarrassed

Also Im content with my #6 draft spot, Ill always be right in the middle, right where I like it! Going early gets you primo players round 1 but then you have to wait sooo long, get killed in round 2 and 3.

Nice draft everybody. One thing that would be cool is if we could all keep up on the leagues PIck'Em side pot. Best way to do it is when you're on the main page highlight league, and then the last result is the pickem page. You can do it each week or fill out the whole season in advanced. If we all like the idea we can use the results for next years draft order, or something along those lines...

Reasonably happy with my team - auto picked three RB first three rounds - just like I'd have done.

That was fun, I always go conservative, safe and steady, over the potential boom/bust it's a free league...I gambled a few times Cool

Dont get me wrong guys, I LOVE RBs, especially no non sense bowlers, but that just isnt the NFL anymore sadly :(
Besides, lots of great backs but the only holy sh*t good one is AP, and they get so easily hurt.
The great QB, load up on WR, solid RBs strategy never has let me down.

Drew Brees: the muthaf**kin man
Demaryius Thomas: He's a stud, and a huge deep/breakaway threat
Wes Welker: well...dont like him but he racks up the fantasy points
Vincent Jackson: A gamble, but we know what he's capable of
Hakeem Nicks: If he can come back from injury fine he's a great catcher and good deep threat
Frank Gore: Very solid back on a run heavy team

SF Defense...they can actually cover, tackle, keep teams out of the points, and ya know Aldon Smith will rack up sacks.
I have a good bit of risk I'll admit, but the reward may be huge Approve

I didn't do enough research....Fitzpatrick is off Buffalo, that scares me but I'll hold stevie johnson for now.

Kyle Rudolph is another risk...he's a solid TE but you just have no clue what the Vikings will give you, BUT also he's a reliable target in that conservative ass offense.

BJ Green Ellis is another solid one, I'm quite happy, may have to make some tweaks but I'm pleased.

Yeah, Yahoo is a terrible judge of talent. It's a list and that is how I use it. Nothing more. Just keeps things semi organized.

TDs are just so variable year to year with WR that it makes it a boom or bust sort of move.

It does, but the general idea has been very successful for me. Where I took some risks was with guys like Stevie Johnson and V Jackson, who are super talented but god knows what their team will be like, as opposed to what I'd usually do which is take a lesser but steady but guy...no risk no reward!

Besides, I figure RBs are always an injury risk and going 6th yall snatched the tops up anyway

If all perform near expectations, my team is loaded.

We shall see. I'm just happy that I had my autodraft list ready for when my power went out.

This is why draft night is basically the height of the fantasy football season. We'll all be attempting to rebuild half our rosters by about week 4.

Fair point, and WRs can be injury prone as well (though I try to take bigger ones) but you gotta admit, RBs have a special risk. The real tragedy is, the kind I/we prefer...backs that carry a lot and are more physical are even more prone to injury.

You are right though, I lucked out my first 2 years, but last year injuries killed me (believe I was undefeated at the time as well). My whole team fell apart

Well, I was never a big Wes Welker fan but give him credit where it's due, he is a master of those damn short ass passes and just managing to make a first down.

Dem Thomas is always scary, he never caught a lot, but when he did it was like a 20 yarder, and always a chance to break free. So hit/miss : /
