2024 RAH Memorial Poly League - Draft Thread

[cb4]

Slowhand's roster is correct.

[Berzerker]

teams will become visible on the league page tomorrow after the league is finalized

[-Jrabbit]

Correct! Even on cell screens.

[SlowwHand]

Great, because my phone is getting hammered and dripping drool due to my spitting while uttering curses.

[mguth]

Nimrods roster looks correct to me.

[-Jrabbit]

Rosters are open, free agents are available, trades (as if!) can be made.

I hereby declare the 2024 season to be open!​

[ColdWizard]

A- yahoo draft grade, 5-10 season incoming

[cb4]

F- Yahoo draft grade 1-14 for this season. We'll see about that.

[ColdWizard]

I look forward to your battle with Ming in the championship game

[Berzerker]

'With a trio of players from the same team - Danielle Hunter, Ka'imi Fairbairn, and Jalen Pitre - D 9 seems to have a cohesive strategy in place.'

Yahoo's expert analysis

it means I'll either be dropping 1-3 Houston players on their bye week, but that's partly why I chose the last two, late byes

[ColdWizard]

I'm not even sure they'll last that long with your proclivity for roster moves.

[-Jrabbit]

Always a hoot. Yahoo draft analysis is actually one of the things I point to when saying I'm not impressed with the current state of AI...

In a draft that left much to be desired, Vicious Rabbits managed to secure a D+ grade, setting the tone for a less-than-stellar season. With a projected finish in 7th place and a predicted record of 6-9-0, it seems like the fantasy football gods might not be smiling upon this team. Despite snagging Jaylen Waddle at a steal in the 62nd pick, they fumbled with Xavier Worthy at 82, going against the flow of the draft board.

To add insult to injury, Vicious Rabbits will face the toughest schedule among the 10 teams, making every matchup an uphill battle. The looming bye week 5 will see 4 key players on the sidelines, potentially throwing a wrench in their game plan. It looks like Vicious Rabbits might need a miracle to turn this draft disaster into a championship-worthy performance.​

[Berzerker]

Fox Steaks got an A+ with a projected 12-3 record, congrats

I don't understand the F and 1-14 projection, I'd bet against it, that team looks solid enough to compete for the middle

Yahoo gave me a D 9 projection last year and I ended 6-9 in 7th so they weren't too far off

I can change my name now

[cb4]

The middle being 2nd, between 1st and 3rd correct?

[Ming]

I got a D- As always, I laugh at their AI. The last time I got a D- I won the league, and the last time I got an A+ I crashed and burned.
Let the good times roll

[-Jrabbit]

I see Yahoo thinks we will have 6 teams finishing 9-6 or better...

[Demonbinder]

I received a D. From their recap I thought I would be the worst in the league, but Ming and Bobcats worse. The recap also says I took four players from one team, but only two are starters. The other two are bench players and one of those was my 21st pick and unlikely to see a start. But I agree with Ming. They are hardly ever correct.

[-Jrabbit]

I'm used to getting bad grades from Yahoo, confident that they are usually wrong. But not always.
Last year was the first time I ever got an A, and I actually won the regular season. It was weird.

[EPW]

My grade seems fair (B). Of course I wouldn't be surprised if I go 17-0.

[cb4]

I would be surprised if you did.

[EPW]

Here's a fun fact about my projection: My DB, Marcus Jones
​was injured for most off last year and yahoo's sophisticated projection system has him earning 0.82 points/game as a results. If you give him a conservative 5 pt/g projection I have the best team in the league by points. Just saying.

[SlowwHand]

I know that you're busy at being great, but are you going to join Survival?
