I can too...

my last pay league draft tonight, keeper family league, its only $10 and half the league knows what its doing, half dont have a clue, but its fun for bragging rights. i went 11-1 in the regular season last year, and as i tend to do, shit the bed in the finals against a team that snuck in at 6-6 and just got hot at the right team. go team!

qb: luck [4th]
rb: charles [keep], ball [3rd], p. thomas [7th], helu [10th], hyde [12th], bradshaw [13th]
wr: patterson [5th], sanders [6th], t. williams [8th], cooks [9th], boykin [11th]
te: graham [2nd]
d: browns [14th]
k: mcmanus [15th]

yes, i stretched badly on luck. but the top 3 and tom brady got kept. the greatness of tom brady being kept, was that the person who kept him... ended up getting the 1st pick. and both shady mccoy and matt forte were left unkept. like i said, half the league doesnt have a clue [its more about going to the draft, getting drunk with family, and the people who do know what theyre doing, making fun of everyone else]. i ended up with the 3rd pick, still didnt regret keeping charles obviously, and since 9 out of the 12 kept someone, i ended up picking 6th overall and getting graham... who to me is a wr1 essentially, which is why i didnt mind waiting til a bit later on receivers.

back on track where i was going with luck... the top 3 and brady got kept. stafford got drafted in the 2nd... by the person who kept peyton manning. rg3 got drafted in the 2nd. and im looking at the draft room/back yard, and i know the rest of these fools are just waiting to pounce on the rest of the qbs. so i struck when the iron was hot, and grabbed luck. i hated passing on keenan allen, but it had to be done. by the time i came back on the clock in the 5th round... ryan, wilson, foles, newton and rivers were off the board. so, i couldve ended up with allen/romo if i had been patient... but im not upset with luck/patterson.

and my late round picks, i was just grabbing guys i like/high upside guys. theres maybe 4 other people in the league im worried about paying attention to injuries/waiver wire guys. and it was espn so i had to grab a d and kicker. this league is more about today, than the end result... but crushing my two uncles and one cousin into submission is also a bonus.

I'd rather Leo sim now, draft ....wait. Sim AND draft now

[Hammer]

i own a bunch of guys in 2 leagues... luck, ball, cooks, joique, both khiry and pierre... and neither in the same league. but there is one special talent, that will be my key to victory in all 4 leagues, because i own him in all 4 leagues... and will be out for blood to get him tonight in the bs league. the great, the immortal... ROY HELU JR.

[Witlon]

I'm working on the All-Witlon Jinx Team(Guys I own in a bunch of leagues) and the All-Witlon Hate(Guys that Witlon doesn't have, so they'll be awesome.)

It should be up at some point this afternoon. (So Kingdom knows who to draft.)

[Hammer]

all these shitlon lists wouldve been gloriously helpful before i did all my drafts!

the adp lists actually wouldve helped for my real drafts [aka, not the one i did yesterday], i dont think your jinxing powers are anywhere near as good as mine on those two lists. id still be interested to see who you own in all 37 leagues though.

[Witlon]

Only 30! Not 37! (Well, 31 after today, but Yahoo!'s list is likely going to fuck up my strategy tenfold.)

I'll throw up a GoogleDoc with my lineups this afternoon as well(I've typed players way too much this draft season.)

[Witlon]

All Witlon Team!
(Players to avoid in your fantasy drafts, because I own them in a ton.)

QB - Matt Ryan (ATL) (Owned in 9 leagues.) (I had to back off, because I had him in 4 of my first 5 leagues. I needed to change it up a little, ya know?)
RB - Lamar Miller (MIA) (Owned in 18 leagues.)
RB - Montee Ball (DEN) /Toby Gerhart (JAC) (Owned in 14 leagues.)
WR - Michael Floyd (ARI) (Owned in 17 leagues.)
WR - Kelvin Benjamin (CAR) (Owned in 20 leagues.)
TE - Zach Ertz (PHI) (Owned in 14 leagues)
FLEX - Brandin Cooks (NO) (Owned in 16 leagues)
DEF - (Week 1 Stream) - Steelers (PIT) (Owned in 14 leagues)/Texans (HOU) (Owned in 13 leagues)

Anti-Witlon Team!
(Guys that I didn't draft in any league, so they're guaranteed to be awesome.)

QB - Andy Dalton (CIN)/Ben Roethlisberger (PIT)
RB - Zac Stacy (STL)
RB - Ryan Mathews (SD)
WR - Brandon Marshall (CHI)
WR - Jeremy Maclin (PHI)
TE - Julius Thomas (DEN)
FLEX - Mike Wallace (MIA) / Reggie Bush (DET)
DEF - I did get Seattle in a league, so any of the top tier DEFs other than them.

Fixed.

"RB - Lamar Miller (MIA) (Owned in 18 leagues.)"

even before the shitlon stench, i hated his soul and owned him in zero leagues.

ball, cooks and julius thomas in one league are the only guys that appear on your lists that i have. very intrigued to know how you of all people got the seattle defense... auto picked? i know you didnt waste a mid round pick on them.

[Witlon]

Miller: When Moreno was hurt, he was going like 65 spots below guys in camp battles like Ben Tate. Couldn't pass him up as the 30th back off the board, in a new offense with a really good chance to play the Shady role.

Seattle D: Nothing on the board I liked at the spot, and it was like 30 spots below their ADP. (I still got Cooks at 124 in that league, and that was typically my target around 93.)

Okay, Yahoo! needs to open up the damn draft room. I gotta decide my strategy.

[HollywoodLeo]

I hate it when I don't find out I'm in an IDP league until I see somebody take a linebacker in the draft.
