blaw23 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Ratboy made an illegal pick ... Lee Suggs was his SIXTH RB ... the rules specifically state that a set roster is to be drafted:Â 2 QB 5 RB 5 WR 2 TE 2 PK 2 DF Â Perhaps people should familiarize themselves with the rules BEFORE they sign up for a mock draft ... Â I'd say that there are several owners with only THREE RBs that will object to ratboy taking Suggs in that spot. Â Of course we have no idea who ratboy is ... Â 879521[/snapback] Â Â Â Â That was the sixth RB Ratboy drafted but he traded L. Johnson to Team Bounce for McMichael. So, Suggs is his 5th RB.

MikesVikes Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 (edited) I have preselected my last three picks. Â I don't know why they wouldn't work out but I went WR, DT, PK in that order. (If anybody cares.) Â This was a pleasure! Very Smooth! Edited July 14, 2005 by MikesVikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaw23 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I am out for the night. Pre-Selected my last Kicker. This went pretty smoothly, looks like we will get it done all in one day and didn't start until the afternoon, not bad even if it was only an 8 team. Looking over my team I think I did ok. Not real happy at WR since I will have a hole to fill in week 6. If this was a real draft though I wouldn't have taken Driver in that slot anyway. Â All in all though good draft guys, it was a pleasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Scorp Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 In a 8 tram draft the idea is to get a top player(s) at each position. I feel I did that....  Top 4 QB in Bulger Top 3 RB in Alexander Top 4 WR in Holt Top 3 TE in Whitten Top 3 Kicker in Vinatieri Top 4 Defense in Steelers  Minor screw up in 4th round as I took Bulger (pre select) instead of a WR...MikesVikes had already taken C-pep in round 3 and did not need a QB at pick 4.8 and 5.1. Meant to take my 2nd WR there but since MV took WR/WR decided to go for Whitten instead. Overall grade should be A-  All in all I like my team (you should in an 8 team draft) WR's will need to managed on a weekly basis as I have no clear cut #2 or #3. Good depth at RB especially if Taylor stays healthy and Henry get traded to a team that will use him.   Best QB's Ratboy Best RB's Zia Zia Best WR's Long Ballers   Overall good draft as all teams look very good.

Grits and Shins Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Brief wrap up: Â MikesVikes Nice start in LT, Culpepper, JJones ... but I believe instead of JJones he shoud have taken CJohnson (at pick 3.01). With LT he could have still reached another RB in the 4/5 swing. Â TScorp I like the first 3 picks ... Alexander, Holt, RJohnson. Too soon for Bulger in the 4th. Witten was okay in the 5th. Bad reach for SMoss in the 6th, followed by Porter in the 7th ... don't like either pick. Â Ratboy Manning at 3.01 is not bad in an 8 man league still got Jamal Lewis in the 2nd and Kevin Jones in the 3rd. Very nice start. Followed by 2 nice WR picks in Wayne and Burleson. Should probably have passed on Jordan in the 6th for a starter at another position though ... say Crumpler or a defense. Â Team Bounce Gambled with Holmes in the 4 hole ... I would have taken Edge myself. Followed with Harrison and Gonzo for a nice 1-2-3. Grabbed Curtis Martin in the 4th and another RB in the 5th ... this was a mistake. Bounce should have passed on SJackson and grabbed a better quality WR. Should have taken Darrell Jackson NOT Stephen Jackson. Drafting depth before starters are filled in an 8 man league doesn't generall work. Â Zia I would have been thrilled to get Edge in the 5th slot. Add Portis and Chad Johnson for a very solid 3 players. Ahman Green in the 4th was good but taking Hines in the 5th was a mistake. Another owner that should have taken Darrell Jackson or any number of other WRs. Grabbed Shockey next then Coles and Collins. I don't particularily care for any of those players so this team took a turn for the worse as far as I am concerned. Â Long Ballers Nothing wrong with the Moss pick, getting the top WR is a good thing. Still landed DDavis in round 2 and then grabbed Gates in the 3rd. Very solid three players even if only 1 of them is a RB. Then probably surprised a few by resisting the urge to grab another RB and grabbed Joe Horn ... I liked the move ... the team now has a solid 4 players, all difference makers. Then another surprise in the 5th as the Ballers pass on RBs again by taking Darrell Jackson. Now this team has the top WRs and TEs in the league and still has DDavis. So far so good. 6th round finally sees another RB in Bensen. If Bensen lives up to his hype this team is looking very solid. Buffalo in the 7th, another top position player. Then grabbed Ronnie Brown in the 8th ... meaning either Bensen OR Brown could work out. Hasslebeck in the 9th is good value and while not a top 5 QB will do his part ... 10th rounder Palmer may supplant Hasslebeck by mid-year in the starting lineup, although I'm not sure taking back-to-back QBs was the right thing to do? But with all other starters set I guess it was okay. I like this team alot. Â Me and MY Uncle McGahee in the 1st, Owens in the 2nd, McNabb and Barber in the 3rd and 4th. Another team off to a great start. Clark in the 5th and Clayton in the 6th. NE and Lelie after that. Another team that took a similiar approach to the Long Ballers in that it looked to grab top talent in the starting positions before going for depth. I like this team too ... but not as much as I like the Ballers. Â blaw McAllister and Dillon are a solid backfield. Added Walker and AJohnson for 2 great WRs. Green and Heap came next and this team was walking the same path as the Ballers and Uncle. Driver was the 3rd starting WR then grabbed T.Bell. Not a bad team.
