Deacon Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I was developing a theory that today, unlike even 5 years ago, drafts would become boring, lock-step affairs. As the fantasy football world has expanded and the internet has become a common tool of everyman, I thought nobody could make a bonehead pick -- at least in the first couple of rounds. Then my son-in-law reported that Brian Westbrook was taken 3rd in a ten team league he is in. Then Mort takes Reggie Bush in the first round on national television. So much for my theory.

Swampnuts Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 People in my loca leagues have bad picks every year. As long as you're not in a BOTH league, you can expect people to do stupid sh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Mort said he did it because of return yards. I hope he's in a league that allows them and isn't just making this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 At least Mort said he did it because of return yards. I hope he's in a league that allows them and isn't just making this up. Maybe Mort is in a league with Little Danny Boy. Antwaan Randle El is worth $7.3 million in those leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 There is something to that. My local leagues used to be chock full of dumbasses, with competition among 3 to 4 owners. Some owners drafted terribly. They've gotten much better at drafting in the last couple years, undoubtedly using cheatsheets. A drop-off still occurs with week-to-week management. But again, they do better because of articles like Free Agent Forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
