My $300 10-team auction was tonight. Here's my team:
Cam, MJD, Ray Rice, Brandon Marshall, Jimmy Graham... yeah buddy."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Yeah, this pretty much nails it. All of your best dudes went for way too cheap. Jimmy Graham alone is probably worth $50."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known.

I got him when the market was still unsure of itself. Here's the guys more expensive than Rice:
AP: $82
Foster: $82
Calvin: $77
Lynch: $76
McCoy: $73
Drew Brees: $69
Alfred Morris: $66
Rodgers: $64
Julio Jones: $58
CJ Spiller: $53
Peyton: $51
There's some psychology to things, too, with price points. People like to set bid limits right at a 0 or a 5. For example, Frank Gore, Jamaal Charles, Larry Fitz, Dez Bryant, Matt Stafford, and Tom Brady all went for $45.Last edited by Al B.

But I do wonder if I got Rice for 49, Marshall for 39, and Nelson for 19 only because people thought moving to 50, 40, or 20 was just too much"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

You're regurgitating your Fitz hate to 2013 now too?
And yes, I still have 5 players ranked above Fitz on my list of 40, and I still have a player available in my top 30 WRs. Even if I were to draft another WR - it's uncertain whether Fitz would even get to the top of my list in the 16th round.Last edited by Ben Kenobi; August 18, 2013, 23:30.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

You do realize it wasn't on him, right? That it was John Skelton, Ryan Lindley, and your boy Kevin Kolb, right? Guess who's not there anymore and who is? A guy who's not that great but was a 4000 yard passer last year capable of completing more than 55% of his passes...
Look - Fitz was the third highest priced WR this year in your draft. He was (if I'm reading your chart correctly), also the 12th highest player. I have 3 WRs slotted that high - Calvin Johnson, Cobb and Marshall.
My list went:
Peterson (2.54x.75) [1.905] x 1
Brees (1.80x1.0) [1.815] x 1
Manning (1.51x1.0) [1.51] x1
Ryan (1.47x 1.0) [1.47] x 1
Rodgers (1.46 x 1.0) [1.46] x1
Foster (1.71 x .75) [1.25] x 1
Martin (1.68 x .75) [1.20] x 1
Marshall (1.98 x .60) [1.18] x1
Cobb (1.78 x .60) [1.068] x1
Rice (1.18 x .75) [.88] x1
Lynch (1.17 x .75) [.876] x1
CJohnson (1.44 x .6 [.86] x1
Brady (1.53x1.0) [.78] x 1 x 0.5
WWelker (1.26 x .6) [.756] x1
TGonzalez (1.50 x .5) [.75] x1
Ranking goes like this: Basevalue xPositionvalue x1/tier x1/Belichick.
Fitz is around 30 QBs, 40 RBs, 40 WRs, 10 TEs, around 120th pick on my chart. Meaning I would expect to draft him in the 12th round. I still have players in the 90s.
Welker I had ranked ahead of him.Last edited by Ben Kenobi; August 19, 2013, 00:06.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
