Official NN Fantasy Football FanPost: Live Draft Edition

PrintThis will mark the first ever Niners Nation Fantasy Football contest between the front page writers.
This all assuming that A Massive Hotel Fire does not break out. You ask, Hsawaknow Me? And I'll tell you to go ask Hsawaknow III. But Ninjames is getting anxious and keeps yelling out, "Lets Do It Leg Go"... my Eggo? Somewhere in the backdrop Latissimus Dorsi continues to yell, "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? IS THIS NOT WHAT YOU CAME FOR?" While D. DeSimone tweaks the Satellite Express to try and get the inside scoop as to who we all will draft before we draft them. Is it Team Fooch or Team Edward? You decide. And like Mike Singletary, Tre9er wants Teh Winnars... That leaves us with TheRapist channeling his best impersonations of Mike Tyson and Ben Roethlisberger (awwwkwarrrrd). While TimTheIntern keeps trying to sabotage the front office by mixing up faxes; result = Scott Tolzien instead of Jeff Garcia for the 49ers 3rd string emergency quarterback. Florida Danny is hiding Two In The Bush while he spies in our windows to get the inside scoop. As [Insert Team Name] always works when you can't think of [Insert Team Name] and if I were to chose a team name for a fantasy football team I would certainly entertain the idea of [Insert Site Decorum]... Which leads me to my breakfast table where I will watch the Waffleheads dominate all year long.
If you didn't understand the long rant there, it's because it was intended that way. And if you understood any of it, you've probably ought to give your shrink a call today.
Fantasy Football is basically very little skill and a lot more luck. All though some would like to think of themselves as real general managers and head coaches of the NFL. Then there are the stat gurus who spend countless hours calculating results over and over (that was not a shot at you Danny).
This will be our official Community Fantasy Football Thread for this week. Each week I will be posting the results of our games with a bit of commentary. This will serve as a thread where you all can discuss all your leagues as well. It seemed as though there were close to 20-30 leagues that folks here on NN signed up for. So I anticipate a lot of participation in these community threads thoughout the year.
We will be conducting this thread similar to that of the live mock drafts we conduct here on NN. As the picks roll in, I will be announcing the picks for each team manager.
Join after the jump to see the corresponding team names with the managers.

You’ll overanalyze and when I draft Josh Morgan after two shots, WINNER ME!

Sam Bradford or Matt Ryan
I’m in a league w/ 10 other guys, thinking about going for two RBs before taking QB, theres a good chance these two will be there. Bradford could have a break-out season (i’m dead scared!) yet Ryan has an arsenal of weapons. Suggestions?
Ben Bertelsen
So I'm guessing
The ESPN league isn’t happening this year huh?

You are already projecting to beat me without a kicker.
But I have a feeling a couple of my guys are being undervalued big time.

Four comments by people not involved in the draft.
Might as well have just said all this in the chat thing.
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
So how was the draft?
I presume winners have already carved themselves away from the rest?
He's projecting the second most points..
We all should’ve gone auto-draft

Two kickers, including a 7th rounder.
I’m just going to assume his team sucks based on that until proven otherwise.
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
My autodraft left me with some real holes.

I probably would have taken more of a wildcard with my second QB, though I’m really happy with Schaub.
I also wouldn’t have spent so many picks on WRs and TEs. My RBs are hurting.

Maybe it seemed like I was drafting because I took all the Cowboys off my draft list beforehand.

I used to do that.
This time I only took Jason Witten because Danny STOLE ANTONIO GATES FROM ME RIGHT BEFORE I WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM‼
Yes, I’m still quite mad about that.
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
I used to make it really hard on myself by boycotting every team I had a healthy dislike for. These days I just stick to the Cowboys and then any individual player I particularly dislike.

Jason Witten, Hines Ward, Joe Flacco...
all players I could have passed on if I didn’t try to be objective.
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
And now that I think about it
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have drafted any of those players if Danny hadn’t stolen a QB, WR, and TE from me.
Now this REALLY means war.
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
when all of them...
prove to be studs, i’ll trade them to you at a premium. deal?
by (Florida) Danny Tuccitto on Sep 4, 2011 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions
sure.
As my half of the trade, you will get a partially eaten chicken sandwich.
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
i will take no less than...
3 chic-fil-a sandwiches (no pickles), and an order of waffle fries.
by (Florida) Danny Tuccitto on Sep 4, 2011 8:04 PM PDT up reply actions
That's way too much.
How about a 7th round pick in 2013?
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
2...
chic-fil-a sandwiches (no pickles) and 2 packets of ketchup is my final offer.

it's an...
elementary school thing for me. cafeteria used to serve chic-fil-a-esque plain chicken sandwiches every wednesday. ketchup was only condiment available, and it was gooooood.

Chik-Fil-A
I would try a lot for some chik-fil-a right about now. I have a friend I visit in Atlanta from time to time and the first place we go from the airport is Chik-Fil-A.

Overrated.
But he puts up decent stats, so I won’t pass on him in fantasy just ’cause of that.
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
We may be listening to different crowds, but I find it hard to see him as overrated when all I ever hear about him is how he’s a second-tier talent at his best.
My personal feeling is that he’s criminally underrated, mostly because of a couple of weird playoff games. I think he’s really, really darned good.

Yeah,
he does seem to have been downgraded by the public in general lately.
I suppose maybe my sentiments are left over from his rookie season.

Yeah I was worried about his neck
but Eli is a good option at QB and if Peyton’s out that’s going to hurt every other offensive player on the Colts which will end up negatively effecting half the teams in this league

Howtheyscored and Danny Florida have the best teams IMO
Florida should pick up Jason Hill and start him over Mike Thomas… Hill is going to have a breakout year I think.

Another Yahoo League
So Im in another yahoo league as well as a ninernation league and this is the team I landed yesturday. Thoughts on this team, had the second pick in a standard snake draft, everyone attended so no autopicks. Standard Scoring
QB: Matt Ryan
RB: MJD
RB: A Peterson
WR: J Maclin
WR: M Wallace
WR: Dez Bryant
TE: D Clark
DST: 49ers D
K: Gostkowski
BN: A Bradshaw, M Floyd, R Mathews, K Britt, F Jackson, P Garcon
second pick in a standard snake draft
12 teams? If so, that’s exactly the same as me.
Seems like that spot is destined to end up with some formidible RBs.

Well, to be honest, I think I am going to get my arse kicked by you on Sunday… all I can hope for is Seabass to score like 30 points.
2 rookie WR’s… high risk right now, but I think it will pay off down the road. Little has been a monster for Cleveland. I am pretty sure he will get in the game a ton and maybe make some things happne against Cincy. Not too sure about Jones yet.

Much easier, all-mighty Megatron, then attacking the real threat...The Autobots moonbase!!
by Brave Neander on Sep 6, 2011 12:28 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
The way I drafted rec. position was easily the thinnest, especially in the late rounds. I figured id get my top two picks (rice and gore) handcuffed (especially gore), and use my depth at other positions to trade for a WR if needed later on. I also drafted Stafford fairly high as a number 2, but I think he could be a top 5 qb this yr. I like Romo, but I’m already looking at packaging one of them for someone like Calvin Johnson later on. If not, I may have the best qb situation in the league.

Well here’s hoping, since I’m using him as my starter. I had to secure a backup QB (Flacco) pretty early as insurance, since Stafford’s such an injury risk, but I think his upside this year is phenomenal.
