I'll take number 1

Thanks for joining, LWSFS.

That's the spirit- besides, {insert cliche about how our education system in this country is no good or getting worse or no one cares or whatever}! The draft will be at a quicker pace than in year's past but it'll be over fairly quickly (2 weeks).

Invite sent and welcome aboard!

k0ruptr · 08-24-2011, 05:41 AM

hurray!

k0ruptr · 08-24-2011, 05:42 AM

SI what time do you think the draft will start? I ask because I'm still in the Hawaii time zone and sleep is calling me (its 1 am here) do I need to stay awake a couple hours or if I wake up 8 hours from now, I should be ok?

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 05:46 AM

I've set up the draft to start at 6pm tonight with a slow rolling start until then.

So, the clock for the first pick runs from 6pm-8pm ET tonight. Until then, everyone can make their picks- there's just not a clock.

Due to the quick turnaround this year- everyone make sure to PM the next person after you have made your pick

And now, for the 2011 Alternate Rules Football League, TRO and the Royal Apes are on the clock (that doesn't really start until later tonight but it would be nice if they picked before then).

SI

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 05:51 AM

Ok, everyone is in the league in Yahoo, I've finalized the teams, and set the draft order.

I have PM'd TRO to let him know that he's up.

SI

Danny · 08-24-2011, 06:14 AM

Pretty happy with the 10th pick

k0ruptr · 08-24-2011, 06:47 AM

I just wouldnt want to be #1 this year honestly. happy at 6

Butter · 08-24-2011, 07:31 AM

#8, eh. Sux. I would definitely like #9 or 10 if I am going this low.

TRO · 08-24-2011, 08:42 AM

#1? Of all frickin' years. I really wanted a turn pick though, so that part is nice.

I have a meeting this morning and will pick shortly thereafter.

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 08:53 AM

Woohoo! The crappy Excel random number generator managed to make pretty much nobody happy!

Honestly, it took me 4 tries to get all numbers 1-10 this year since it kept getting duplicates *sigh*

For the terminally bored, I just throw a rand()*10+1 and put the numbers in order. Odds are that I haven't gotten a unique set so I probably have, say, 6 of the top 10. Then, I re-roll, so to speak, and start at the top again, marking off numbers that I already have. The last two were particular stubborn this year and it took an extra re-roll.

SI

TRO · 08-24-2011, 09:07 AM

#1 QB - Aaron Rodgers - GB

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 09:47 AM

Seems like a pretty safe #1 pick to me.

Draft in thread and Yahoo updated and we're off. Make sure to PM the next person up.

FYI, so that it's easier for me to read out of the thread, can we use the following formatting for picks, if possible (honestly, the bold, name, and position are what's important- team not so much):

1.1 Aaron Rodgers QB, GB

SI

TRO · 08-24-2011, 09:56 AM

Just be sure that I have Aaron Rodgers and not this Aaron Rogers guy

I sent a PM to LWSFS after I picked.

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 10:34 AM

I was wondering why you picked his backup, backup, backup's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate

SI

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 08-24-2011, 10:54 AM

1.2 Phillip Rivers QB SD

Thought long and hard about this one, not used to taking a QB so high in the draft.

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 08-24-2011, 10:54 AM

Lets hope Old Man Rivers keeps rolling along. will pm next person

Masked · 08-24-2011, 10:59 AM

1.3 Arian Foster RB Hou

Hoping for lots of receptions again

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 11:19 AM

1.4 Adrian Peterson, RB MIN

I don't think I've ever picked an RB in the first round of this league. I think I've always gone QB until this year.

SI

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 11:22 AM

I have updated the thread and Yahoo through 1.4

SI

Scoobz0202 · 08-24-2011, 01:21 PM

1.5 Michael Vick, QB PHI

Now I'm going to go hang myself.

I messaged the next guy.

k0ruptr · 08-24-2011, 03:23 PM

1.6 Tom Brady QB, NE

rafini · 08-24-2011, 04:07 PM

1.7 Drew Brees, QB, NO

Then some unforeseen force started deleting and typing on my keyboard

k0ruptr · 08-24-2011, 05:40 PM

trust me, I'm extremely happy you took Vick, I wanted nothing to do with him. But he could end up having a monster year yet.

Danny · 08-24-2011, 05:40 PM

Vick is a much stronger pick than Brady or Brees.

Danny · 08-24-2011, 05:43 PM

Just my opinion of course, but I think Rodgers and Vick were the #1 and 2 players in this scoring system.

Scoobz0202 · 08-24-2011, 05:44 PM

That is ultimately why I did it. He could get injured in week two with a busted knee due to his playstyle, and it's a risk that you have to take with him. The reward could be an absolute monster fantasy year. When looking at my rankings I knew he was the right decision for me. I just didn't want to do it

And to be quite honest, I am very surprised with 5pt touchdowns and two QBs that he fell to me.

Danny · 08-24-2011, 05:47 PM

I believe I read that Vick has started at least 15 games in every season except one (in which he was the opening day starter), so I don't think he really is more of an injury risk than other guys.

I don't like him personally either though, so I could see that as a reason why someone would not want to take him.

Butter · 08-24-2011, 06:47 PM

1.8 - RB LeSean McCoy, PHI

PM sent to Julio Riddols.

Julio Riddols · 08-24-2011, 06:51 PM

1.9 - RB Ray Rice, BAL

Sending PM now.

Danny · 08-24-2011, 07:08 PM

1.10 WR Andre Johnson HOU
2.01 WR Calvin Johnson DET

Julio Riddols · 08-24-2011, 07:12 PM

Johnson and Johnson, nice.

I struggled mightily to come up with a consensus between all the voices in my head, but I'll go with

2.02 - WR Roddy White, ATL

k0ruptr · 08-24-2011, 07:25 PM

lol. I'll give him a 1 time pass and repick. it happens.

but its Totally okay with me if he gets this guy: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6134

Danny · 08-24-2011, 07:28 PM

Oops, no wonder he was still available

Danny · 08-24-2011, 07:28 PM

Just give me a minute and I'll change it

Yeah, and then by some freakish occurrence, both Adrian Petersons tie for the rushing title at the end of the year. Danny is flown to England and knighted for this miracle.

TRO · 08-24-2011, 07:30 PM

Also a good example of why team is important to note

Danny · 08-24-2011, 07:31 PM

Took Calvin Johnson instead. One other guy I was looking at, but I don't like taking players from my most hated team.

Danny · 08-24-2011, 07:32 PM

He's also one of my favorite players, just need Stafford to stay healthy and I actually think he outproduces Andre.

Butter · 08-24-2011, 07:57 PM

I hate taking the same position twice so early, but I don't see how I can pass it up.

2.3 - RB Jamaal Charles, KC

PM sent.

rafini · 08-24-2011, 08:20 PM

2.4 - Chris Johnson, RB, Tenn

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 08:26 PM

Nice pace today- I'll be updating Yahoo shortly

SI

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 08:36 PM

Yahoo and thread updated thru 2.4

SI

k0ruptr · 08-24-2011, 09:58 PM

Sorry at work. Will pick shortly

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 09:59 PM

So, crazy Hawaiian time is up. Now's a good time to go over those overnight rules. The last pick was made at 9:20pm ET. That means it happened with less than an hour to go on the clock so he has until 10am ET tomorrow morning to pick.

If it had happened at 8:50pm ET, then he would only have had until 9am ET.

SI

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 10:05 PM

Ok, so I've got 2 guys left on my board right now and 2 picks before me. As long as both of you don't pick my two guys, we're gold and I can head to bed quickly

SI

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 10:13 PM

Sorry, guys, I really need to get to sleep. Provided we're at my pick, I'll pick between 6:30-7am tomorrow morning (unless there's someone who can PM me in the next couple of mins and get my list)

SI

k0ruptr · 08-24-2011, 10:15 PM

2.5 Maurice Jones-Drew RB Jax

Scoobz0202 · 08-24-2011, 10:21 PM

2.6 Larry Fitzgerald WR ARI

sterlingice · 08-24-2011, 10:22 PM

2.7 Tony Romo, QB DAL

Ok, now I'm definitely going to sleep. Fitz was one of my two but Romo was the other so I'm glad I don't have to do much research
