DMD Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 We had the auction for the Handbook on Monday night and as always, it was fun and surprising at times. You just never really know how people value players until they have to want to pay more for them than anyone else. It was a 12 team mock with 20 man rosters, performance scoring and starting 1/2/3/1/1/1. Salary cap was $200 per team. Here are the results (not listing the $1 players) QB 27 Peyton Manning 22 Eli Manning 20 Tom Brady 18 Matt Hasselbeck 18 Carson Palmer 18 Donovan McNabb 15 Jake Delhomme 14 Aaron Brooks 13 Drew Bledsoe 13 Marc Bulger 12 Michael Vick 12 Brett Favre 11 Ben Roethlisberger 10 Drew Brees 9 Kurt Warner 8 Trent Green 8 Brad Johnson 8 Daunte Culpepper 7 Jake Plummer 6 Chris Simms 6 Byron Leftwich 5 David Carr 4 Jon Kitna 3 Billy Volek 2 Philip Rivers 2 Rex Grossman 2 Steve McNair RB 73 Larry Johnson 71 LaDainian Tomlinson 69 Shaun Alexander 55 Clinton Portis 53 Steven Jackson 52 Tiki Barber 50 Ronnie Brown 46 Edgerrin James 44 Rudi Johnson 43 Carnell Williams 43 LaMont Jordan 38 Domanick Davis 38 Willis McGahee 35 Willie Parker 29 Brian Westbrook 27 Julius Jones 24 Tatum Bell 24 DeShaun Foster 22 Joseph Addai 21 Corey Dillon 21 Reggie Bush 20 Warrick Dunn 20 Kevin Jones 20 Jamal Lewis 19 Thomas Jones 18 Chester Taylor 16 Deuce McAllister 16 Samkon Gado 15 Dominic Rhodes 14 Reuben Droughns 12 Cedric Benson 11 Frank Gore 10 Laurence Maroney 10 Marion Barber 10 DeAngelo Williams 9 Ron Dayne 8 LenDale White 8 Curtis Martin 8 Fred Taylor 7 Ahman Green 7 Chris Brown 6 Brandon Jacobs 5 Mike Anderson 5 Chris Perry 4 Mewelde Moore 3 Priest Holmes 3 Greg Jones 3 Cedric Houston 3 Kevan Barlow 3 T.J. Duckett TE 18 Antonio Gates 13 Tony Gonzalez 13 Jeremy Shockey 10 Todd Heap 9 Alge Crumpler 7 Chris Cooley 5 Jason Witten 5 L.J. Smith 5 Randy McMichael 4 Ben Watson 3 Heath Miller 3 Jerramy Stevens 2 Zach Hilton 2 Dallas Clark 2 Jermaine Wiggins 2 Marcus Pollard 2 Vernon Davis 2 Ben Troupe 2 Joe Klopfenstein 2 Kellen Winslow WR 36 Steve Smith 32 Chad Johnson 31 Terrell Owens 30 Randy Moss 30 Torry Holt 29 Larry Fitzgerald 28 Marvin Harrison 26 Reggie Wayne 25 Anquan Boldin 25 Roy Williams 23 Darrell Jackson 21 Hines Ward 21 Santana Moss 20 Chris Chambers 19 Javon Walker 17 Donald Driver 17 Koren Robinson 16 Plaxico Burress 15 Joey Galloway 14 T.J. Houshmandzadeh 12 Deion Branch 12 Andre Johnson 10 Joe Horn 10 Rod Smith 10 Lee Evans 9 Derrick Mason 8 Ernest Wilford 8 Eddie Kennison 7 Donte' Stallworth 7 Antonio Bryant 6 Keenan McCardell 6 Muhsin Muhammad 6 Troy Williamson 6 Terry Glenn 6 Jerry Porter 6 Nate Burleson 6 Reggie Brown 5 Michael Clayton 5 Kevin Curtis 5 Matt Jones 5 Corey Bradford 4 Laveranues Coles 4 Joe Jurevicius 3 Drew Bennett 3 Michael Jenkins 3 Robert Ferguson 3 Eric Moulds 3 Bobby Engram 3 Keyshawn Johnson 3 Mark Clayton 3 Isaac Bruce 2 Antwaan Randle El 2 Roddy White 2 Amani Toomer 2 Brandon Stokley 2 Braylon Edwards 2 David Givens PK 5 Adam Vinatieri 5 Neil Rackers 3 John Kasay 3 Todd Peterson 3 Shayne Graham 3 Josh Brown 3 Jason Elam 3 Jeff Reed 3 Mike Vanderjagt 2 Sebastian Janikowski 2 Lawrence Tynes 2 Matt Stover 2 Jay Feely 2 Jeff Wilkins 2 Nate Kaeding 2 David Akers DEF 7 Bears 5 Panthers 4 Falcons 4 Colts 4 Broncos 3 Buccaneers 3 Seahawks 3 Steelers 3 Jaguars 2 Giants 2 Eagles 2 Ravens 2 Dolphins 2 Patriots 2 Lions 2 Redskins 2 Cowboys (all others were $1 players) It is a best ball league where the best in their position counts as your starter that week and all teams play each other every week so you can go 11-0 on the week. Here is my team which is built for that format. It looks sort of funky with RB but anyway: QB 13 Marc BulgerQB 1 Charlie FryeQB 1 Gus FrerotteRB 71 LaDainian TomlinsonRB 22 Joseph AddaiRB 10 DeAngelo WilliamsRB 6 Brandon JacobsRB 3 T.J. DuckettTE 13 Jeremy ShockeyTE 1 Bubba FranksWR 30 Torry HoltWR 12 Andre JohnsonWR 6 Reggie BrownWR 2 David GivensWR 1 Chad JacksonWR 1 Sinorice MossK 2 David AkersK 1 Josh ScobeeDEF 2 RedskinsDEF 2 Cowboys I never meant to take LT (okay but had not planned on it) which threw my strategy out pretty quickly. I also got stuck with Duckett which hurt at the end of the auction when I needed every dollar and roster spot. I planned on getting Addai and Rhodes but I pissed off one guy by taking Addai from him so he came back and took Rhodes from me. There are some interesting hookups you can do in auctions: Addai/Rhodes Foster/Williams Jones/Barber Bell/Dayne Brown/White Dillon/Maroney Jones/Benson Bush/McAllister Gore/Barlow I wanted to do that but lost out on Rhodes and Foster but I got the ones I wanted the most. I also wanted Jones/Benson badly but another guy outbid me on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 So did any owner get any of the pairings you listed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Runt Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) I'm surprised Braylon Edwards went so low. That puts him in a "major sleeper with upside" category if this auction is any indication. Edited May 30, 2006 by Cunning Runt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swashbucklers Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 6 Jerry Porter6 Nate Burleson 1491117[/snapback] So Porter and Burleson are the same amount? But which one is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 You don't say. 1491380[/snapback] I'm surprised Braylon Edwards went so low.

Link So Porter and Burleson are the same amount? But which one is better? 1491625[/snapback] --- $22 for Lil Manning??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Runt Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Uh, Edwards isn't due back until October or November. Link 1491646[/snapback] Hmmm... did not know that. Still a steal at $2 IMO - the type of player that could slide like this but could help a team's late season push Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no one Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 DEF2 Cowboys 1491117[/snapback] The steal of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Good value with Bulger at 13, DeAngelo at 10, Holt at 30 imo...actually all the top wr's were low imo. but for $2 I sure would rather have LJ than LT. 1491843[/snapback] Me too but you never know what is going to happen with those first players in the auction - LJ was first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 $27 for Manning? confuse me more!o? Any spots left in this guppy league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 $27 for Manning? confuse me more!o? Any spots left in this guppy league? 1492404[/snapback] Agreed - when he went for 27 I figured all the rest of the QBs must be like $5. Great bargain.

irish Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) Man I'm really intrigued to see what SJax is going to do this year. I've seen him rated very high-1st rd pick high auction price and yet I've also seen him valued much lower. Which will it be?

DMD Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 DMD, can you post the roster for the team that has LJ? 1493291[/snapback] He sort of went for the big splash and then squeaked by on the depth QB Drew Bledsoe 13 QB Alex Smith 1 RB Larry Johnson 73 RB Ronnie Brown 50 RB Chris Brown 7 RB Michael Turner 1 RB Duce Staley 1 TE Vernon Davis 2 TE Ben Troupe 2 TE Erron Kinney 1 WR Darrell Jackson 23 WR Bobby Engram 3 WR Keyshawn Johnson 3 WR Mark Clayton 3 WR Brandon Stokley 2 WR Shaun McDonald 1 K Neil Rackers 5 K John Carney 1 DEF Bears 7 DEF Chiefs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Man I'm really intrigued to see what SJax is going to do this year. I've seen him rated very high-1st rd pick high auction price and yet I've also seen him valued much lower. Which will it be? 1492465[/snapback] Yeah, me too. I drafted him but am nervous due to injury issues in the past. If he can stay healthy he does have great upside though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
