I'm mixing and matching bapays with proj bapays, Gio was the bapay and Moss the proj bapay

Gio is now 3rd fiddle down in TB albeit he could become Brady's new James White but the experts place more value on Moss

[Berzerker]

I wouldn't drop Brown or Moss if they were my r19 bapay, Gio might get dropped pdq. I can see hanging onto a #3 RB if he's a youngster with a bright future behind injury prone 1-2 RBs but Gio aint in that situation, both guys in front of him catch passes too.

I dont mind the additional work it takes to look at last years stats and the projections for this year, I do that for my own picks. Using last years stats alone is flawed, it wont allow us the flexibility to make smart bapays.

I think you ran across a problem like that earlier, you bypassed a LB named Neville because he didn't show as a starter on his new team even though he was the bapay based on last year.

[-Jrabbit]

I also read an article calling Gio Bernard the sleeper of the year. And I read an article today on Marquise Brown's hamstring being worse than they thought and still keeping him out of practice. There are LOTS of articles supporting a lot of different choices. That's not my point.

You keep acting like I'm criticizing the actual picks you're making. The picks are what they are, and we won't know until much later how "smart" they were.

I thought we agreed to do Walrus picks as a straight Bapay. That has been happening for several rounds. I even listed the positions for each upcoming round. But now you decided to ignore that, including the positions. So clearly, you don't want my input. Which is your right as commish.

So I'm done helping. Sorry to trouble you.

[Berzerker]

CW chose Brown, I okayed it. I didn't look to see who else was available, I just wanted to see if Beasley had a bye conflict and he did.

But Walrus will get another shot at Gio unless CW takes him.

[Berzerker]

Is that true, Rabbit? Did you ignore the bapay rules and make a smart bapay? Clearly you investigated Neville enough to see his new situation devalued him and chose a different player...and nobody complained. Nobody accused you of screwing the people who wanted the guy you picked as the bapay in place of Neville.

Next LB up is Neville Hewitt HOU. Bye week is fine, but he's not even on the Houston depth chart.
Next LB after that is Deion Jones ATL, clearly the better choice.

Yup. you did... the better choice but not the bapay... Thats all I'm trying to do, the better choice

and I think Neville Hewitt hasn't been picked yet so we thank you for catching that before someone got a LB who isn't on the depth chart. The person who got Deion Jones instead of Hewitt thanks you too I'm sure.

Teams will be unlocked on _____.

[ColdWizard]

After Walrus takes his injury replacement, I suppose. I've got two candidates for mine and while I don't remember off the top of my head who they are, I have a list.

[SlowwHand]

He left a message at League, asking this same question. I'll post a Reply, saying swap here

[walruskkkch]

Not being to use a filter to find out who is left I'll take a flier on Rhamondre Stevenson.

[ColdWizard]

I'll take DJ Chark Jr WR JAX

[Ming]

So it sounds like the teams can be unlocked now?
Just post a time that you are going to do it so everybody can be ready and nobody has an advantage

[SlowwHand]

This shouldn't resemble the Oklahoma Land Rush.

[ColdWizard]

Gotta box out Sloww before he picks up all the good players he didn't draft

[SlowwHand]

People had hours to select. I'm letting those that I picked have a chance to fail.

thats a good idea, I sent a league email telling everyone I'd open it at 9 pm central

but maybe I should open the waiver wire tomorrow so people have more than a couple hours to find out they can make changes, Vlad, FF and Walrus should get first crack at it.

Or I could unlock them at 9 pm central tonight and the rest of the league tomorrow night.

what do you guys think?

[SlowwHand]

Just do it now. We're all even.

[Ming]

Do it tomorrow morning after your email so everybody has an equal chance. Then, nobody can really complain

[-Jrabbit]

In theory, the top 222 players are gone and the first game is still 9 days away, so I don't think anyone has cause to complain. That includes absentee managers. I see zero reason that they should get free bonus time on the waiver wire.They've all had the same opportunities to make picks, send lists, etc. as the rest of us.

Hell, I'm more interested in who people are dropping than in who they are adding. Best way to do that is to publish the league so we have an up-to-date Players list and everyone can view their own team on Yahoo. Now that the injury replacements are done, there's no reason to hold off.

I say, get 'er done and let 'er rip. IMO the sooner, the better.
