IH Fantasy Football 2013-2014

[seanocono]

I'm actually really liking the idea of trying a different style of draft this year.

Okay, just to confirm, at 12:01a EST (9:01a PST, for me) I will post my pick in this forum, and then Gav posts, then MClain, and so on?

[bagley920]

Well, I guess technically you would start at 9pm tonight your time since you're 3 hours behind me

Then Gav goes

[seanocono]

And I just post my pick here, right?

[bagley920]

Yep, just give me the name of the player and the team he plays for just in case there are more than one, ie Steve Smith

Just like the real NFL draft. This is your podium. Get up to the mic and speak!

[seanocono]

So stoked! Thank you for all of your work, so far, bagz.

[summ3rhays]

Wahoo middle of the pack. No pressure

[bagley920]

That's actually a good spot. You will be the 6th pick in every round. Never have to wait a long time for your pick

Gentleman,

It is that time of the year, again.  MLB has become stale, the NBA and NHL are in their respected off-seasons, and nobody gives a shit about the MLS.  The NFL is around the corner, and it can’t get here soon enough.  I would like to express what a tremendous privilege it is to play FFL with my IH brethren; especially a league being orchestrated with such thoughtful precision.  I’d be remiss not to acknowledge the efforts of the Honorable Commissioner Bagley.  Thank you, kind sir.  Without further adieu, I am pleased to commence this anticipated procession:

With the first pick in the 2013-2014 IH FFL Draft, NVRMD DA SQUAWKIN’ selects:

Adrian Peterson – RB -- Minnesota Vikings

Team Smith is now officially on the clock…

No surprise there (in my best analyst voice)

Iron Heart 2013 Fantasy Football Draft

Round 1

1-1 NVRMND DA SQUAWKIN' -  Adrian Peterson – RB -- Minnesota Vikings
1-2 Team Smith- On the clock

[Megatron1505]

Arian Foster - RB - Houston Texans

He's making his training camp debut today after his calf injury, and the Texans say he's ready, so…... balls out  ???

[bagley920]

We shall see

McLain, you are on the clock

[mclaincausey]

I get so nervous with RBs, especially small ones, but the potential for Jamaal Charles in Andy Reid's system is just too compelling.

EDIT: Yes that was a pick

[bagley920]

That sounds like a pick to me and a bold one.

Big Z, you are on the clock

Round 1 thus far

1-1 NVRMND DA SQUAWKIN' -  Adrian Peterson – RB -- Minnesota Vikings
1-2 Team Smith - Arian Foster - RB - Houston Texans
1-3 Golgotha RebelsW/aCausey – Jamaal Charles- RB- Kansas City Chiefs

Very strange pick I have been an eagles fan my entire life and Andy Reid has always been a pass 1st coach. He passes almost 70% of the time. IMO very risky pick.

RBs get credit for receiving…  His backs have typically been killers.

[bagley920]

PPR league Jeff

.25 points per reception, it's not alot but def something to consider with RBs specifically

[derivative666]

That makes a lot of sense. Westbrook and Shady McCoy are killer receivers out of the back field. I hope this works out for you.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks!

It's a risk, but that's how you win or lose.  It's not as crazy as it sounds if you look at Reid's backs (Staley, Westbrook, McCoy) and the numbers they've put up.  Not concerned about 70% pass if it means the backs are fresh and don't split carries…  There's a method to my madness

[bagley920]

OK, so just received word that Z is in the Bahamas, so to save his marriage, I will be drafting for him until he gets back. Good call IMO

Big Z picks Ray Rice- RB-Baltimore Ravens

and this pains me because that was gonna be my selection
