Apolyton Fantasy Football DRAFT THREAD!

I went back to the first FF thread for this...
First, the question from Berz

Maybe I'm not remembering this too well, but I thought we had 2 RB and 3 WR with a TE last year. I know FFZ had 2 RB, 2 WR, a TE and a WR/RB position. Shall we consider a WR/RB in addition to the standard 2 RB, 2 WR, and TE? I know that gives us 1 more scoring position than you'd find on the field but what the hell...

Then the response from commissioner Imran

Yeah, but I realized something. 2 RB, 3 WR, and 1 TE (with 1 QB, of course) results in 12 players on the field . There has to be 5 OL in a real NFL game, and I wanted it get as close to a real Pro-Style with positions. This ain't the Canadian league.

The idea was to have only 6 offensive skill players. There was further discussion of TE vs. a swing position (like RB/WR or TE/WR), but ultimately we went old-school.

God damn it, Zop! Why the hell do you have to tease me like that?!?

*sighs*

Gimme 'bout twenty minutes or so...

[SlowwHand]

BAPAY, reismark!!!!

[reismark]

I'm looking for this guy to step up this year. Big time. (It should be obvious as to why.) I had this guy as late-fourth round/early-fifth round, and to get him here (and as a backup no less) is a steal - as long as he's matured.

It's the position we're in, middle-of-the-pack. You snatched Alexander and Brady from me, and I snatched Coles and Heap from you

[Japher]

Where's the list of ppl we need? TE, Defense, K, and what else? Is there another position besides bench?

[Dis]

It's in the Yahoo place under league settings. QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, K, Def. The rest are bench.

[Zopperoni]

1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
1 K
1 D

[Japher]

Thanks... Gimme a few

[Japher]

I just realized that both my WRs will have the same bye week

[reismark]

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCE...

[gjramsey]

I just realized, my top three picks all have the same bye week. That qualifies as a big time Ooops!

[-Jrabbit]

It's only one loss...

Oh, and just to clarify -- it's 6 bench players, total roster of 14.

[Japher]

After much deliberation I have decided to go with:

Heck! I can't decided! K, TE, D or a bench WR or RB! Any that I choose to pick will look like reaching, and everyone will be all "You could of got him later".

So, I'll just take Minnesota, DEF

Yup, that's right!
