The first year that I participated in a Yahoo league with autodraft, I basically pre-ranked my preferred players according to their roster position. In other words, I filled out a game roster (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WRs, Def, Kicker, etc.) with my top selections at each position.

DO NOT DO THIS!

What happened is that I drew the #10 spot in my draft and, of course, the first 9 players had also ranked the same QB, RBs, etc., that I did. So the first player on my list that was still available by the time #10 came around was the Defense--yes, my first draft pick was a freaking Defense. It was a horrible draft.

On the other hand, I finished 3rd in the league that year, but it was cause I spent an awful lot of time week to week making trades or working the waiver wire.

I guess I better start looking at player rankings and figuring things out this year! Good luck to everyone!

When do you get back? I was planning on turning everyone loose on the weekend if all goes according to plan.

tenbaseg · 08-28-2009, 05:31 AM

I'll be back on Sunday night (9/6). You don't have to hold everything up for me.

Whee · 09-01-2009, 06:11 PM

T-minus 4 hours and 50 minutes til I flip the draft and lock the teams. Are you ready?

Not sure if I'm ready, but my pre-draft rankings are locked in....! we'll find out soon if I figured-out this defensive-player thing, or royally screwed up.

Whee · 09-01-2009, 11:02 PM

Draft is set to ready and teams are locked. Another league I am in took 4 hours for draft to complete, so hopefully, you will see your teams and I will post up the unlock time.

Good luck.

Whee · 09-02-2009, 09:58 AM

Apparently the Yahoo folks sleep overnight and we are still waiting on the draft to go. I'll keep checking it out and let you know.

Gargoyle · 09-03-2009, 09:08 AM

I have Ochocinco. You are all going down.

A few minor corrections to the roster and I'm happy with the results.

Whee · 09-03-2009, 05:01 PM

Ok, gang.

I will unlock the teams on Saturday at 7pm CST.

Get your plans ready and your mouse clickers warmed up!

Whee · 09-05-2009, 05:48 PM

Getting ready to unlock the league. Just giving y'all a heads up.

BryanB · 09-05-2009, 06:40 PM

got me some more defense.........I hope I know what I'm doing.

Gargoyle · 09-05-2009, 06:52 PM

No kidding. More often than not, the itchy trigger finger comes back to bite you.

I hope things moved in a positive direction, though.

Mugen910 · 09-21-2009, 12:20 PM

my team sucks.

Somehow I ended up "drafting" 3 Colts: Manning, Addai & Clark. The rest of my lineup at those spots is suspect, so my Smokin' Hotties need a huge game out of Indy tonight to catch up to tenbaseg's Vandelay Industries. I'm 45 points in the hole with 4 players still to go. It's within reach, but barely.

It didn't help that Justin Tuck left last night's game with only 1 tackle, or that freakin Frank Gore had nearly 30 points for Garrett!

Gargoyle · 09-21-2009, 12:53 PM

My team is ok, but I have been very luck so far. D has saved my behind!
