Someone has to catch the ball there (I guess) and I need a bye week WR

Yahoo and thread updated thru 12.9. I'll probably check one more time before heading to sleep but it may just be tomorrow before I pick again, depending on Rafini's picks.

Anyways, we're making great progress so I'm thinking we'll stick with the 2 hour clock next week and hope to finish by Thursday. At the pace we are going, we should be just fine

I've been pretty flexible this weekend on time and that's cool- we've made good time and it's a weekend. But starting tomorrow morning, we're going to stick with the 2 hour clock rather than going down to 1. However, it's going to be a hard 2 hours so we might see autopicks. Make sure to pass your lists along and check every couple of hours.

SI

sterlingice · 08-26-2012, 09:18 PM

I didn't mean that we should totally stop...

Oh, well. There will be a pick by 10am ET tomorrow or it's a computer pick.

SI

Scoobz0202 · 08-26-2012, 09:37 PM

Ya. I dont really have room to talk as I took slightly over two hours for one of my picks, but I was hoping we would make more progress today.

We did really well for the most part so its not a real big deal.

Julio Riddols · 08-26-2012, 09:39 PM

Sorry, got caught up on some stuff i didn't anticipate after the auction draft earlier. Pick will be in in a couple.

13.9 WR Titus Young, DET

sterlingice · 08-27-2012, 08:05 AM

I was wondering when he'd go off the board as he's a really popular sleeper pick

TRO · 08-27-2012, 08:23 AM

Ya, I didn't anticipate drafting him here, but the value seemed to be there.

sterlingice · 08-27-2012, 08:50 AM

I decided to go with Little as I thought he has less upside but more likely to get me some decent flex production week in and week out. I think we're really going to be down at the bottom of the talent barrel when we're done with the draft so locking in some production is useful.

14.1 DEF Baltimore

sterlingice · 08-27-2012, 09:39 AM

I really like Gostkowski this year and was hoping he'd fall to my next picks. New England has an easy schedule and Belichick likes to run up the score so it seems like a perfect situation.

rafini · 08-27-2012, 12:14 PM

Guess my plan to wait on TE might have backfired. Didn't expect to see this many second TEs being picked since we only have to start one.

sterlingice · 08-27-2012, 12:20 PM

Me neither, frankly, but the WR4s and WR5s out there aren't all that great either so if you think a TE can get you similar production, might as well take advantage of the scarcity

For me, it got to the point where the TEs available were about as good as the WRs available, so it became a "best receiver available" sort of thing. At that point, if you don't have a second TE, it even becomes a better move to draft one over a fifth WR because then you have a TE replacement for your starter's bye week, on top of another option for the W/T and R/W/T spots.

Butter · 08-27-2012, 02:50 PM

14.8 - RB Mark Ingram, NO

sterlingice · 08-27-2012, 04:05 PM

Akers was the other kicker I was considering at this point so with him off the board, time to just lock down a second defense. With the increased differentiation between offense and defense, I hope there's some value to trying to take some of these off the board a little sooner just to lock in one of the better defenses to ensure you aren't getting stuck with a bottom of the barrel one. The difference between 1 and 20 last season was about 100 points and I'd be happy with a few more points per week.
