I presume we're not enforcing the 12 hour pick limit yet seeing as we started early?

Is it my pick yet? :greengrin:

Those are the picks I'd want. Two absolute studs will still be on the board in 16 and 17, much better than the 1st and the 33rd pick.

Agreed. In a big league like this the quality drops significantly between the start of the second and the end.

I know I am the perennial draft complainer but are we going with the updated list (above) again this year or are we going to try the google docs approach? I ask now because if we do go the google docs approach, the sooner we make that decision the easier it will be to enter the data (rather than entering lots of picks all at once). I'll have my own cheat sheet anyway so I don't really read through the list, I'm just thinking about overall clarity.

Here is a link to a sheet that I have setup. If you want to use it, go ahead. Everyone will be responsible for making their own updates. I know it's tempting but please don't edit other people's picks.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

Feel free to make whatever changes you like with respect to formatting. Last year some people colour coded the cells so that identifying players by position was really easy (useful for flex position and bench spots).

Here is last years sheet for reference:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...of8/edit#gid=0

What about those of us that have crapy cell phones?

24 hours now since Gatey picked but I'm reluctant to suggest we just bypass Haymaker as a) we've started early and b) it's a first round pick...

Though FFS Haymaker, shift your arse, would you?

I wasnt ready to start early. I will get my pick done when I get home.

Haymakers Patriots risk it all by selecting....

Robert "The Gronk" Gronkowski, New England Patriots.

It's ok I didn't expect him to be available when it came back to me :aok:

I was being optimistic hoping he would still be available when he got to me in all honesty! :agree:

The 12 hour time limit will begin at 12:00

Anyone got a good cheat sheet? I printed one that was 8 pages long, not exactly perfect! I cant find the template I used last year which was like 300+ players on one a4

Use the usual method or wait until you get to a computer. I don't know what people use for cell phones but if you have anything like a smart phone it should be able to open up a google doc. You should be able to open it through the Google Docs app and I am sure you can access it through a browser too. If you have an old flip phone, you might be better off mailing in your picks. ;)

Edit: I've updated the spreadsheet with the latest two picks but I'm not volunteering to do that all the time. :) If people don't want to use it then I'll just maintain my own list.

calvins pick

I assume we're still going with NFL.com, right?

I see no reason to change. We all have nfl.com logins, league is set up & we should all be comfortable with the mechanics of the league by now. If it ain't broke... :aok:

Agreed. I just wanted to make sure since scoring settings make a slight difference to pick strategy.

For people (with smart phones) who want help in tracking the draft, RotoWire has an application that allows you to enter your league settings, etc. then you can mirror the picks from here in the application. That will keep a track of who's been picked, who's available, etc. It's $4.99 so that might put you off but I downloaded it today and it seems like it will help a lot. I play in other leagues too so this helps in keeping all my information in one place, easy to access.

I think so. I was looking back at last years draft (pretty entertaining read btw!) & think we only had one missed pick which was chosen at the end of the draft. I think that would be harsh at this early stage, I'd suggest that any missed picks could be chosen during a 12hr window the end of each round? I guess that's up to us decide as a league. We are about a month ahead of schedule compared to last time but it would be great to get the draft going at a reasonable pace :agree:

Has Calvin even acknowledged the start of the draft?

Might not even have a clue its his pick because it was started early.

Does anyone / everyone use WhatsApp? If so, we could startup a group message and contact people that way.

Yeah with 6th pick he's probably expecting to be picking some time tomorrow or Sunday. Would be pretty harsh at this stage to take it away from him considering we started early. Does anyone know him to be able to contact him?

I think it's just a case of starting a conversation with everyone on it. I'm sure we'll be fine once we build up some steam. I'm ready to go, assuming I'm awake when my turn comes around.

Hey guys! Will someone spare a thought for the bar managers of the world!

I'm keen for the whatsapp idea actually, would be quite handy.

Anyway, I'm gonna select Le'Veon Bell. Still worth it with the three game suspension. And I have to change the name of my team...

Also, I can't seem to edit the spreadsheet - can it be made public?

The spreadsheet should be editable already but I'll check it out. I'm taking Jamaal Charles.

Might buy it through the American App Store then!

Although I dunno about a cheat sheet like that, takes a bit of the skill out of it - but I am in for the organisational aspect.

Everyone uses cheat sheets. It's not really cheating. Every football site has their own version but most are the same. The only way you can play FF without a cheat sheet is by spending HOURS (weeks more like it) on your own analysis.

I don't blindly draft the highest available player, I put a little more effort into it than that. :)

On my crappy phone. After a lot of though I'm gonna go with Matt Forte.

The Edinburgh Giants have 40 minutes to make their pick...

On to the Edinburgh Dolphins.

I take it the Giants still get to pick if the Dolphins haven't picked.

I'll take Calvin Johnson as first pick.

Sorry chaps I can't let this go :greengrin Megatron was trounced in fantasy by Beckham last year. I'm not expecting the guy to recreate his stats from his rookie season but I think he's proven over 12 games that he is an absolute stud. Megatron has been serviceable the last few years but he's not the player he was and is injured too much.

Plus Stafford is hardly Joe Namath!

Always wondered how good he would have been playing with a good QB.

Beckham's stats dropped off toward the end of the season because the surprise element dropped away and he found himself the target of primary coverage, which he often struggled in. Johnson always finds himself as a key target for defense and still puts up epic numbers, season upon season...

Stafford throws the ball more than Manning, who uses his RB's a lot more.

But given the chance to have either in the Patriots lineup on opening day, I would probably opt for Beckham :greengrin

:agree: Amen to all that. No questioning Beckhams skills but I'm amazed he went higher than guys like Megatron AJ Green and Julio Jones. I'd want to see him doing that for more than just one season before I'd put him in the very top tier of receivers. We'll see what happens when the season starts:woohoo:

I'll take Russell Wilson.

Thats why i ended up taking Wilson, had Stafford and Flacco last year and both were horrible. Plus he now has Jimmy Graham to throw at.

You *******. I was hoping he would be available later, didn't think QBs would be picked so early....:greengrin

Ragin Cajuns' select Alshon Jeffrey WR Bears

Randall Cobb.

Thats my problem with a 16 team league, there's no chance he's available when it gets to me in round 3 so best take him now.

I really should have came into this with some sort of strategy

I'm stunned and a little disheartened to see QB's being snapped up this early! I reckoned we'd have been at least round 3 or 4 before the QB's started coming off the board.

I was tempted to take Luck as one of my two picks, but then I'd have been left pretty exposed at RB or WR. If you don't get Luck or Rodgers then there's a big group of starting QB's that are much of a muchness in terms of fantasy, capable of big scores and small scores in equal measure, so it isn't worth stretching for them IMHO. My draft strategy of waiting for a QB worked last year, so I'm going to stick to that.

:agree: You've got to take what the draft gives you in a 16 teamer. If you look back at last year's draft then you'll see that Sergio was last to take a QB (Big Ben) and won the league. I took Stafford as the 2nd to last starting QB the year before and won the league.

it depends on the player though. IMO Russell Wilson is a great early pick for lots of reasons; he's likely to be let off the leash to throw more this season, we're moving to a more passing based scheme, we've got Jimmy now, he's still going to get loads of points with his running etc etc. I also think there's some good young prospects at RB for this season that will be available later on (I hope!)

ive done ok at fantasy up to now by just picking the players and teams I think are due big seasons.
