Anyone else doing the rapid draft on here?

Recommended Posts

FFtoday is one of the 11 pros on this site and nobody is even mentioning it on here! Heck it's less than $10 a team and if nothing else it's good to do a draft or 2 for a mock and who knows, maybe a $250,000 paycheck!

 

Here is my team drafting from the 10 hole:

 

QB: McNabb, Delhomme, Shaun Hill (yeah my season depends on McNabb staying healthy)

RB: CJ, Grant, LJ, Ray Rice, McCoy, M. Bush

WR: Andre, Bowe, A. Gonzo, E. Bennet, Robiskie, Mason

TE: Olsen, Shiancoe

K: who really cares?

D: Vikings, Bears

 

I'm happy CJ slid to me and was able to get Andre on the turnaround. I was SHOCKED to see LJ sitting there in rd. 7 and couldn't pass on him.

Why did you take two defenses?

Rookie mistake. The 2 guys I targetted in rd. 15 got taken just before I was up. I was doing warp mode that time where the comp. picks every 5 secs. and you only get 30 secs. per pick so I ran out of time trying to figure out who I wanted. That was what it gave to me in auto pick.

I've been doing some mock drafts over at yahoo and LJ is consistantly available in rounds 6 and 7. I think that will change as opening day closes in.

I've signed up for the Rapid Draft but have not drafted yet, I'll wait till after I see a few pre-season games.

That appears to be a pretty rough looking team :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, don't I know it. I remember waiting and waiting on Quarterback -- but it doesn't appear I picked up much value anywhere else. Not sure what I was doing. Although I still love Sage Rosenfels, and I'll keep saying it till he throws 4 INTs in his first start.

Your RBs rock Corky. Rice as your 4th is sick.

Your only saving fact is it is a PPR league. Forte, White, Witten and Bush (if healthy) were good picks. I you could get some free agents to replace Mason and Arrington week 2. QB's your problem. Not sure why you picked the 4th spot to draft from it seems like one of the harder spots. It was free to you though. Good Luck.

Nord, I tried it out too. Emailed their support and they are working on it. I'll let you know when I hear something. As for the $250k, I know its guarenteed, no matter how many people sign up. I imagine it will take off once football season gets closer.

I drafted a team last night. My original plan was to go LT, Bolden, and P Thomas with my first 3 picks from the 5 spot. I was surprised when Brees fell back to me so I picked him up.

 

Brees

LT, Ward, LJ, M Bush, Fred Jackson, Ladel Betts, Jerome Harrison

Bolden, Berrian, Ginn, Josh Morgan, Chris Henry, Mike Walker

Gates

Minn, Chi

Elam

 

I know that team doesn't blow people away but I have Morgan, Walker, and Henry as guys that have potential to be solid 2/3 WRs. I also really like M Bush and Betts (if Portis goes down).

Cool, just as long as you know the two defense thing is not smart. :)

QB Drew Brees NO R3P10

RB Steve Slaton HOU R1P10

RB Ray Rice BAL R6P3

WR Reggie Wayne IND R2P3

WR Wes Welker NE R4P3

WR Derrick Mason BAL R7P10

RB Jerome Harrison CLE R16P3

WR Kevin Walter HOU R10P3

WR Earl Bennett CHI R13P10

WR Nate Washington TEN R15P10

WR Michael Clayton TB R18P3

 

I think I will be playing match ups for my flex postion all year. (what does everyone think of Fred Taylor this year?)

 

Picked 3rd

Starters

QB Aaron Rodgers GB R4P10

RB Maurice Jones-Drew JAC R1P3

RB Pierre Thomas NO R3P3

WR Steve Smith CAR R2P10

WR Roy Williams DAL R5P3

WR Kevin Walter HOU R9P3

TE Dallas Clark IND R6P10

Flex Jamal Lewis CLE R7P3

PK David Akers PHI R19P3

Def/ST SEA Team Defense SEA R20P10

Bench

QB Kyle Orton DEN R12P10

RB Fred Jackson BUF R8P10

RB Michael Bush OAK R13P3

RB Mewelde Moore PIT R15P3

WR Devin Hester CHI R10P10

WR Ted Ginn Jr MIA R11P3

WR Nate Burleson SEA R14P10

WR Antwaan Randle El WAS R17P3

TE Brent Celek PHI R16P10

 

I think Burleson in round 14 could be a steal. Will probably be playing match up with my #3 WR's.

I like Fred Taylor as a solid depth guy, and good value right now in drafts, but wouldn't feel good with him as a regular starter. I think he could easily get the majority of RB points out of NE, but they probably rotate quite a bit still and it will be tough to figure who will be the guy in any given week. Fred has never caught the ball that well, or been a big TD guy.

 

Why do you think Burelson is going to do so well? He isn't someone I've given much if any consideration to.

McNabb, Eli, Bulger

Slaton, P. Thomas, F. Jones, F. Jackson, L. McCoy

AJ, Welker, D. Avery, C. Henry, P. Harvin, E. Bennett

Shockey, Fasano

Crosby, Kasay

Bears, Cards

 

With playing against computers (basically), before I drafted I wasn't sure whether we'd be able to add/drop players. So, I took 2 kickers and 2 def/sp teams.

Mike, Burelson was doing really well last year in Seattle before he got hurt. They say he's having a good camp and has recovered nicely. If Hasselbeck is back to normal, and TJ getting doubled I think he could put up good numbers. I'm not saying he will be great numbers just a good value for a 14th round pick. I'm not good with projections but here it goes 80-880 4-7td's.

 

Fred Taylor I think is the best RB on a high powered offense. The best offense he has ever been on. In 1998 he had 44 receptions for 421 yds and in 2002, 2003 he had 49 for 410 yds and 48 for 370yds. I think he can catch the ball Jacksonville just never used him that way much. Those also happen to be the years he had a lot of rushing yards also. The problem is there are too many running backs on that team to make a good guess on how they will be used. Your right in that he has never been a goal line runner Sammy Morris still has value. Also I think Kevin Faulk is a great 3rd down back. Taylor is older now and his opportunities will be limited, so I'm just not sure what to think of him. But his upside looks good.

this team seems very very good... VJax in the 6th and Olsen in the 7th Rice in the 8th??? all could have easily gone a round before that so awesome job.

 

My Free Team

 

QB - Schuab, Hass, Orton

RB - Tomlinson, Ward, Felix, M.Bush, Betts

WR - Welker, Jennings, Royal, Walter, Robiskie, Schillenz

TE - Olsen, Fasano

Def - Ravens, Jets

K - Hartley

 

made a mistake early taking Welker over a RB2 like Ronnie Brown... especially with some decent WR's there in the 4th and 5th.

Same exact scenario - picked 5th and fell into Brees. In retrospect, I should have waited for a qb so I could have better wr/rb depth

 

QB Drew Brees NO

RB Larry Johnson, KC

RB LaDainian Tomlinson, SD

WR Laveranues Coles, CIN

WR Chad Ochocinco, CIN

WR Wes Welker, NE

TE Dallas Clark, IND

FLEX Fred Taylor, NE

My free team:

RB-LT, MBlll, LJ, Felix Jones, Coffee, Charles

WR-Colston, Avery, Ochocinco, Bennett, Walter, Robiskie, Stuckey

TE-Olsen, Carlson

K-Lindell

DEF-Balt

 

We'll see how it goes. I'm glad I wasable to handcuff LJ and Barber.

A couple longshot fliers I know, But I figure if you are going to make some noise in this thing that's what it will take.
