RaiderHaters Revenge 3,590 Posted September 7, 2012 Who you guys got, was there a guy in your league that kept falling and falling and maybe you were able to get him late even though you didnt like him? In mine it was Steve Smith (CAR) My draft slot was 8 in a 12 teamer, we start 2 rb, 3 wr, 1 te, 1 flex (so 4 wr possibly) and its full ppr with return yards I went Calvin Mathews D.Martin Percy A.Brown Ridley STEVE SMITH (CAR) I dont really like the guy all that much, but hes ranked as a top 15 WR, nobody in my league likes him at all, but after I finally said ahh damm Ill take him, everyone was like damm thats great value, I was gonna pick him but I dont like him either, he was the 36th WR off the board Whats your story?

bjsteel 34 Posted September 7, 2012 7th rd is pretty nice for Smith, 10 or 12 teamer? In my 10-teamer, grabbed MJD in the 6th the day before he re-joined the club, and D. Jackson in the 9th rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jackson in the 9th rd. 7th round 12 teamer, looking at the draft board, Amendola, DJax, Blackmon, Heyward-Bey, Malcolm Floyd, Wayne, Garcon were all selected before him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Gladstone 33 Posted September 8, 2012 Romo went ridiculously late. I would have snagged him as my backup but I was drunk and had crossed him off my list for some reason. I was pissed when I found out he was still available. I remembered why I dont usually drink and draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,893 Posted September 8, 2012 In my 14-teamer I got Vick in the mid-6th. I really didn't want him but I think that's ridiculous value for a guy who could be Top 5 at his position in PPG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

montana 89 Posted September 8, 2012 In our auction draft, Kenny Britt went for $1.00 , yep, bargain. I think we need a individual site within FF Today strictly for auction leagues, it's just a better world. I'd love to try out an auction league. As a Commish, I've suggested it twice over the last few years but no one wants to do it. They say its too time consuming. I like the strategy involved. Admittedly, I've tried a few auction mocks & became flustered quickly. This was more from my inexperience than anything, but still enjoyed it. You're right, its a different kind of beast.

rallo 132 Posted September 8, 2012 MJD went early 4th. It was the pick right before me and i would have taken him... this news came out about 2 hrs later that he was to end the holdout... I guess one bad thing for the owner was he had to semi reach on jennings in the 7th... but huge value for him IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopy 491 Posted September 8, 2012 This is why no matter how much I dislike a certain few players, I refuse to make a DND (do not draft) list. Almost everyone can have value if they drop far enough Agreed. Even if I hate them, the value is so great, go ahead and take'em. You can always turn them over and trade them, or even just have a strong bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, its a different kind of beast. It's not really that much more time consuming...maybe the first year as everyone gets their feet wet...if you get all your players and use up your money it can be quicker than a standard draft. Also, Britt for a buck is sweet...I thought I got a good deal when I got him for 3 percent of the cap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, its a different kind of beast. There's just no comparison, once I did my first auction draft it became clear to me that it was a much better/more fair way of drafting. If your league is concerned about taking an extra hour to draft their fantasy team for the season then I'm guessing they're not that into fantasy football. Draft day is one of the best days of the season...aside from that c@ck tease Wednesday night game and then this coming Sunday. (Seriously, they give us 1 game and make us way 4 days for more...such a tease) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junkie 0 Posted September 8, 2012 Romo in the 7th in a 12 team league. 3 QBs went in the first round, and 3 more by the end of the 4th. Romo was very undervalued going into most drafts this year, and those who got him are that much better at another position than those who didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SabreNation 3 Posted September 8, 2012 I snagged Matt Stafford in the 4th round in a 1-team draft. Rodgers, Brady, and Brees went in the first round almost back-to-back and then nobody touched a QB after that. I snagged Calvin Johnson in the first, Wes Welker in the second, Adrian Peterson in the third and could not believe Stafford just kept sliding. I thought about him in the second but made the decision after drafting Johnson that I wanted to target an elite WR squad in this league so I grabbed Welker since he's a PPR GOD. Then I thought about Stafford in the 3rd but figured I couldn't afford to go another round without taking an RB, especially with AP still out there. My mind was fully blown when Stafford came all the way back around and was STILL there when I was back up in the 4th. That Megatron - Stafford combo will net me 11+ points on every TD hookup this year (6 WR TD + 4 QB TD + 1 Reception + Any Yardage (1 per 20 for Stafford, 1 per 10 for Johnson.) I did the math - a 60 yard TD from Stafford to Megatron would net me an instant 20 points (6 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 6) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
