      Jaguar, I'm amazed at how much of a QB run you managed to start. 4 of the first 11, with perhaps a couple more to come. And with each one that goes, your RB1/WR1 gets better.
      Kudos.

        If Steven Jackson is still on the board at my second round pick, I would pick him without hesitation.

        The funny thing is, if Imran, Guy, and Sloww were all online right now, we could just blaze through the next 6 picks.

        Why did people listen to Jaguar?! Apolytoners, don't listen to him! You're feeding into his draft strategy.

          Six picks for 3 guys with good football smarts at the end of the round -- no way SJax lasts.

            Hehe, I kind of figured this was his angle. Very cunning. He still has a good point though about QBs. And heck, if other people are gonna follow along, then there is even more of a reason to join in since the good QBs will be off the board first. I'm sure the folks who were hoping to wait till the 2nd or 3rd round are now worried they are gonna get stuck with some schlub and will hurry to pick QB too.

              QBs genuinely deserve to be taken high in this ruleset. QB drafting has been creeping up in 'poly over the years, as the draft market has adjusted to our rule changes.

              I admit my motives are pretty transparent, but I do not consider the people behind me to be, like, confused by my wiles or anything. They're making good choices. Drew Brees was the best pick of the draft so far. I also like snoopy's pick of Ray Rice at 3rd overall, and I like whoever gets Steven Jackson this late too.

                Moreso than the ruleset, having 14 teams puts a real premium on the position.

                  You know what? I knew there was no reason to leave a list. I did though, just to jack with Ozzy and just in case I wasn't as smart as I think I am about characteristics. I knew it wouldn't be necessary though.

                                Yeah but it also puts a premium on RB's as much as QB's. Worst case scenario, you get stuck with a Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, David Garrard, or Jason Campbell. Frankly, that's not that bad. Better that then a bunch of RB's who share carries and you don't know who to start any given week.

                                I didn't. MRT asked if I would take him if I could get the chance. I said without hesitation. It would be a boon for me if he somehow stayed on the board that late.

                                Oh and Imran, it's Steven Jackson. Stephen Jackson plays for the Charlotte Bobcats.
