BG FFL 2009: Champion incoming.

**Stiker** · 2009-08-14 15:11

It's a live draft, in person at 6:30pm CST. What I can do though is upload the a picture of the draft board. I'll be tracking the goings on with DraftDominator as well...it'll be my first time using it, but I should be able to recap it decently.

My cash league had their auction + keeper draft go down tonight and since it was a face-to-face one, I said I'd post the results here so people could see the results of a real draft instead of a mock. I'll spoiler most of it so I don't have a huge wall-o-text.

I will say this though, my league (second year for me in it) has a huge habit of drafting far above projected values for players in the first few rounds. So if you see values consistently off, followed by a ton of $0 picks at the end that is why.

Without further ado, what follows is the drafting results and some additional info.

Draft & Scoring Rules:

Final Rosters (tl;dr of draft, players ordered by position and Draft Dominator projection rankings):

If anyone wants me to drag more info out of this draft, just let me know and I'll be happy to post it.

Enjoy.

Derrick Ward, RB, TB - $6

You're lucky, you've got a week...

Pick up Cadillac before he carries the ball...

I don't like your league rules =/ 5pts for pass TD? I'm a believer that all TDs = 6 points, regardless of where its from or how many players were involved. Still, I'd sooner accept 4 than 5. And the keeper stuff - it's interesting, but you really need league cohesion & continuity to pull it off, any incoming managers can be screwed if they have no keepers.

I like Randy Moss though. Not a fan of Derrick Ward. I think you overpaid for Matt Ryan, I like Donovan.

**Stiker** · 2009-08-15 12:27

One of the main reasons the keepers have done so well it that the league is managed quite well. Any new managers that come in get to take on the old rosters from the previous manager. So even in my first season I got to have a good keeper selection.

I'm not a fan of the 5 pt TD rule either...especially when you consider we are in a PPR league and any receiving TD is then 7 points.

I agree that I overpaid for Ryan. He came out onto the board far earlier than I was hoping and when that happens that means people are going to drive the price up and I wanted him. On the other hand though, McNabb came down later and I got him for far less than I was expecting.

Ward is a mixed bag. I had him for part of last season and he put up some good numbers. I'm thinking he'd be at best a flex to get me points in the PPR area.

What I'm really hoping for though is that Hester can have a breakout season with Cutler as his new QB. Add on to that his potential for special teams TDs and I could have on hell of a weapon there.

I like 5 of 8's team. I don't really like yours.

**Headspace** · 2009-08-15 13:00

Upshaw has the best team.

Hester is exclusively WR this year, no ST responsibilities (not even PR)

How do the Bears plan on scoring this year?

Pacman getting a pick 6 on every snap?

**Mizango** · 2009-08-15 13:14

He's just getting his Strahan on during camp.

Well damn. Gotta just hope for his WR production to step up then.
