I got the best grade of an A but would have been better if Zak did not take Harris before me and Ed did not steal Pirrs before he got to me.

Also, I did not take a D or K when I saw the picks for kickers in the 8th round.

I think all from here did well.

I like that it went fast, just over 90 minutes because Ed took forever to pass on Henry in the first and then again in the second. :slight_smile:

I also have to consider calling Interpol to report an international fantasy draft thief as Zak had to take my research. lol

You wanna call Interpol? It was you who drafted strictly by my notes, stealing all my players! :sweat_smile:

Man, that was one of the most random drafts I had in quite a while! From people drafting a 3rd QB in round 6 (in a single QB league no less) to the rush on Ds starting in round 7 to people drafting a backup D to people going WR-WR-WR-TE-WR-WR in the first 6 rounds - this draft had it all!

Also gave me my first and only share in Derrick Henry this season. Much as I am concerned about his durability, but in the middle of round 2, it would have been a crime to pass up on him.

Same for Akers in round 9. I’m not too high on him, but round 9?

Drafting a QB in round 3 is not what I’d usually do. But I had Najee and Henry, 12 WRs were off the board already, meaning it would make no difference if I took one now or later, so why not pick the difference maker on QB?

Can’t say I’m unhappy with the results. Could have done better on TE, but hey… this is not a TE premium league.

QB - Josh Allen
RB - Najee Harris
WR - Keenan Allen
TE - Cole Kmet
W/R - Derrick Henry
W/R - Cam Akers
W/R/T - Brandin Cooks
K - Rodrigo Blankenship
D - Indianapolis Colts

BN - Amon-Ra St. Brown
BN - Gabe Davis
BN - Rashod Bateman
BN - Brandon Aiyuk (in round 10)
BN - Nyheim Hines
BN - Jameis Winston

LOL Yeah, it was fun and definitely different. When I saw the rush on D and K I decided to pass on drafting either,

I really screwed up on QB in our first draft. Lost count for a bit and done.

Gonna be more fun to see how it all turns out.

Off to Draft 3

I think these two paragraphs describe the overall quality of the league.

When the best player in fantasy football is still on the board in the middle of the second round, the league is composed of chimpanzees randomly pressing buttons on the draft software.

Good luck on your quest for all the bananas!

Just finished my 3rd draft in 37 minutes. LOVED IT!!!

I’ll do my own post on the draft. Suffice it to say, my draft list worked like a charm! You can argue about who I picked all day, but I got the players I wanted, so the list was perfect.

Perfection deserves it’s own post, not to be confused with us commoners. :slight_smile:

Drafted 3rd

Thanks Ed but saved the worst until last. Nice video clip.

The second one is a bit more balanced than the first one. It’s good.

I’m very disappointed in the last posted draft. I think it’s terrible.
I made a dumb mistake. I have not drafted on ESPN for 4 years and thought I was too good to need a mock to get re-used to it. I was dead wrong and out of sorts the whole draft. Hell, I even lost round count in screwing up getting a QB.

I wouldn’t have taken Trevor Lawrence, but there may be a waiver move you can make to fix that.
