PA just compared this pack of doofuses to the '98 Vikings.

I wonder how many people who criticize PA for his over-excitedness/homerism also love Sonmor who IMO is the ultimate in those categories. ;) Just sayin'.

Did Collinsworth just say the Steelers won the Super Bowl in Roethlisberger's rookie season? Maybe NBC can locate a copy of the 2004 AFC Championship Game for him.

I don't get Pierre Thomas, but I don't know the context under which you drafted him. I'm not saying he's bad or anything, it just really depends on your scoring, your depth, your needs, how many teams, when you drafted him, etc.

Last pick for me. Everything was very picked over so I got him for $1 (out of $200 budget).

Auction? *shudder*

Ok, good pick then. Side note: I've flat out said I'd retire from my league (been in the same one for 21 years, along with many of the other teams) if we ever go to auction. I hate the auction style.

I said the same thing about our league. Until we did it and I enjoyed the hell out of the strategy.

The ONLY way I would consider doing it is if we made our league a keeper league and got to keep say, 75% of our players. Kind of like a FA thing like in real life.

Re: 2012 NFL Season - I dare Priceless to nuke me

I think we're doing a keeper auction league this year.
 
Re: 2012 NFL Season - I dare Priceless to nuke me

Re: 2012 NFL Season - I dare Priceless to nuke me

Count me down as a huge skeptic of Auction until trying it.

I will never do another snake draft if I can help it.

The strategy is just fantastic. Do you load up on Superstars hoping they'll earn their keep, and go bargain basement on everyone else? Or do you get one or two studs, and second tier guys for the rest, hoping they stay consistent?

We also do ours live (10 team draft, 2 DL, 2 LB, 2 DB, $260 fantasy budget), so you also really get to play on emotions of other people. I know this one guy's a huge Giants fan so I always drive up the price on Eli.

Or last year, where a guy spent $70 on Brady, and then he and I got into a bidding war for Vick. Vick quickly got up to $50, and had I been smart, I would have left him to this guy, leaving him with half his budget blown on a QB and a Backup QB. Alas, I didn't realize it, as I also really wanted Vick, and got him for $51.

Re: 2012 NFL Season - I dare Priceless to nuke me

I had the pick of the century last year when I got Cam Newton as the absolute last pick in the draft for $1. :D


Edit: WAIT, $70 for a single player?!?!

That's a steal on Cam.

And yes, Brady went for $70 last year in my league. Again, $260 budget. Elite players usually don't go for less than $50. Top RB's used to go for $80-$90, now they tend to fall around $60. WR's are usually the high guys these days, as we do PPR and 5+ bonus points for a 100 yard game.

TE's are also very valuable, as we do 2 points per 15 yards, PPR, and 3+ bonus points over 90 yards. I would be shocked if Gronk goes for less than $60 this year.


FYI, here was my team on offense, and their dollar amounts for last year's draft:

Vick (41) * I mis-remembered, he only went for 41.
AP (59)
McFadden (36)
Calvin Johnson (45)
Wallace (28)
Austin (52)
Keller (1)

I went high budget on WR and RB. Got a solid QB, and then bargain basement on TE, K, 6 IDB starters, and a full bench of backups. 17 players for something like $35.



Free Agent buys are either the dollar amount they were drafted for, or $5. No FA buys or trades after Week 10.

Last year I ended up dropping Austin after his injury, and benching DMF and AP. I picked up Reggie Bush and CJ Spiller, along with Gafney and Heyward-Bey. I went 4 weeks without a QB (backup was Cutler). Backed into the playoffs needing help.

Then won the whole **** thing as Vick came back, and Bush and Spiller absolutely dominated.

Ahhh. I thought this was a $200 budget league. $70 isn't so unreasonable then.
