MrFancyPants Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Meat: Ribs 1:3 Dairy: 2:10 Muenster Cheese Vegetable: Caesar Salad 3:3 Snack Foods: 4:10: Bugles I ended up with the third pick in a twelve team league this year–, as expected Steak and Pork Chops were taken with 1.1 and 1.2 respectively. Not wanting to risk getting stuck with the likes of Game Hen or Ostrich as my starting Meat, I scooped up Ribs with the third pick, although I admit that either chicken or Turkey would have worked here as well. After the long wait, and a run on vegetables (carrots, green beans and snap peas were all already taken), I decided to take Muenster Cheese with my 2:10. I am afraid I may have reached here, as I was the first to take a dairy, and both Swiss and Provolone were still available in the third. However, I believe it is a safe choice, even if it lacks "upside" Five picks later and I am up with my 3.3, I was delighted to see Caesar Salad still available at this point, and feel I got very good value here. (both the next two people absolutely groaned and exclaimed that that was what they were going to take!) Unfortunately, before my turn at 4.10, there was a HUGE run on snack foods. Doritos, Cheese-its, Ho-Ho's, and Ruffles (both Cool Ranch and Salt and Vinegar) were all gone, as well as more marginal starters in the category like Funions and Baked Lays. I did NOT want to be stuck with Brazil Nuts like last year, so I grabbed Bugles while I still could. Call me crazy, but I see big things this year for this overlooked snack food. So what do you think so far? And do you think I should go Vegetable again in round five? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Bugles are a bust. . you went too early on them. Round 5 should be your shot to handcuff a stud to your ribs. I say find the best meat value out there and wait on the veggies. . .it's a deep position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Pringles were available-a much better pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montster Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i would've taken frank gore with the 1.3, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 get some butter in the 13th or 14th round. You can melt some and dip the Bugles in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might've been able to wait a round and still get Munchos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Agree with Egret....Funyons and Munchos are overlooked each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I think there was good value to go with the Moonpies at pick 6.10. You missed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you nutz?? What if something happens to your ribs?? You don't have a single quality meat to work with. You might as well go ovo-lacto and go out and buy a MAN PURSE!! You gotta protect your meat, dude!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackshi17 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Dip is usually underated in these late season drafts. Is this a keeper league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Five picks later and I am up with my 3.3, I was delighted to see Caesar Salad still available at this point, and feel I got very good value here. (both the next two people absolutely groaned and exclaimed that that was what they were going to take!) Caesar salad is weak. I take it Chef's Salad and Grilled Chicken salads were already gone?

Skippy Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Don't overlook soup. Soup can fill many spots and can score from anywhere. I would seriously consider snapping up some soup with the next pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Roller Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Soup, highly over-valued if taken this early. Take a hearty beef stew. It plays the flex position better than any other grocery plus it can be an emergency backup for a wide variety of positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
