I will mock his picks and I don't even need a reason. Or an incentive.

Sorry about the draft being so late, thought I selected 8:30PM EST. Too late to change it now.

Take Trevor Siemian in the 1st round and all is forgiven.

@Vigilante have enough Mt Dew to stay up?

Yahoo gave me a C. Yahoo didn't take into account how I was robbed when my friends Allen Robinson and Giovani Bernard were meant to be coming around for a party but some old creep drove up and bundled them into his candywagon.

Draft Summary
Whatever strategy Huge Carrot used to build this team, it should be thrown out, because it didn't work. Picking 13th, they struggled to piece together a competitive team and as a result, are projected to finish 13th in Fantasy Fastlane League with a record of 3-10-0 (1,659 points). They must be in love with the wide receiver position, using their first three picks on A.J. Green (13th overall), Mike Evans (16th), and Jarvis Landry (41st). They ended up with the worst group of RBs in the league, as they have T.J. Yeldon, Tevin Coleman, James Starks, and Devontae Booker on their team.
We're not mad. We're just disappointed.

I look forward to overcoming this minor setback of having a team of RBs who will be getting fatter sitting on the sideline every week.

B+ for me with the best RB tandem in the NFL. I'm set.

If there is one certainty in life and fantasy football, it is that you DO NOT want Yahoo to give you a good grade on your draft!

Yup, I found this to be true. Their draft grades mean shit. Every year at the season's end, I go back and look at draft grades. I found the A's at the bottom of the barrel moreso than the B's and C's.

Perhaps that's due to coaching, not drafting.

Graveyard shift draft was a nice change up this year! Think I fell asleep for one of my picks.....

 

[ZCP]

Yahoo gave The Squirrels a C+.

So MJ can go ahead and send us the check.

looks like it

 

[Vigilante]

For those of you wondering, of the recent posters bitching about the Yahoo draft grades :

MJ was 9th out of 14
ZCP was 11th out of 14
and
Veloce was 14/14

I got a B with two nice QBs, good WRs, and possibly an awesome set of RBs. We shall see.

Hey Mr. MeatPlow ( Who ever you are ) how about you log into the league and accept the killer trade offer I made you. Offer expires tomorrow

Someone tried to trade me Dak Prescott, when I already have two QBs. I should have sent them your way since you apparently collect hobo QBs.

Send me a offer. I might take it. Whatever it may be.

I've already gotten 2 offers that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. And come on Dak is gonna kill it this year

Yea, and last year the big preseason hype train was Cordelle Patterson. That worked out splendid.

Agreed the chances he busts is pretty high but he's in a pretty good situation behind that O-line and he'll have a monster run game with Elliot and Morris behind him to take some pressure off his arm.

Be honest now, you took Stafford as QB...

A-because he's so wonderful
B-because you fully expected me to take him next pick, which I was considering. Of course I already had Bortles, having taken him a tad earlier than planned as I expected you were about to do so. And there's no way I was letting a repeat of that happen.

I've forgiven you for the blatant theft of Allen Robinson that led me to take backup AJ Green at 13. Like I've forgiven Mr Meatplow for taking Keenan Allen at 14 when he was my designated pick 16.

I also note you picked up Shaun Draughn a few days ago, a bit like how you ended up with that Deangelo Williams I drafted last year. I have a red velvet sport coat I don't use much anymore, you want that too?

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Be honest now, you took Stafford as QB...

Funny how you think you're the only one who knows the NFL. Easy schedule. With the exception to the first half of last year, has always been a good fantasy QB -- at his draft pos, I couldn't resist -- that said, I knew you would know all the aforementioned and the opportunity to cockblock you sweetened the deal.

I also note you picked up Shaun Draughn a few days ago,

I had him queued for my next pick in the draft-- but you took him. So I took Spiller -- the Saints however found him so bad they made him a healthy inactive. Draughn was easy pickings from your knee-jerk waiver wire hopscotching.

On a side note, looks like as expected, Yahoo draft grades mean jack shit. You, the worst draft grade, will beat the supposed draft winner according to Yahoo, the team which should strike fear into all managers... lol.

You make me sound like Taylor Swift in Blank Space.

My favourite part of the Yahoo grade-

Did Stretch Armstrong Make That Pick?
Grabbing Jalen Richard at pick 184 was definitely a reach. Richard is owned on just a handful of teams across all Yahoo! leagues.

I thought of that as he bolted away for that 75 yard td. Unfortunately he was also a short term rental.

I never saw a trade offer... Sorry... was at the beach for a week and then was in a golf tourney for 3 days. Been more unplugged than usual the last 10 days or so.

Didn't take long to lose my #1 pick. FML...

Oh well... more injuries are sure to come!

 

[Veloce Grey]

I hate Thursday Night Football.

I will admit Forte is looking a decent pick for round 4 MJ. Though I think I said that about Carlos Hyde after week 1 last year and Cordarrelle Patterson in 2014.

I hate Thursday Night Football.

In all my years playing FF, I've noticed a disturbing pattern... when I kill it on Thursday, I lose the match. When my opponent kills it and puts me behind bigly, I end up winning. Its like pointing out a bizzarro future...

I wouldn't be too concerned.

Someone just offered Gurley for Forte -- gee, I dunno, should I take it? An underperforming RB who doesn't catch many passes and will be faced with a stacked-box all year? Or my old man workhorse?

I play in one other main league, also 14 teams and I think most of them were shocked to see me roll up in week 1 with no TE, K or defensive player and an oversized bench of RBs.

As I was busy congratulating myself for this strategy and planning the life-sized marble statue of myself for the front yard, I checked the Fastlane League transactions and you'd dropped your kicker and picked up the backup running back for the Thursday game. Which you then dropped after he scored a td but McCoy didn't get injured.

Now I feel like that time I was out driving in the middle of nowhere 150 miles from the nearest city, in my relatively unique limited edition car only to see a middle aged woman drive past the other direction in the exact same car, one colour shade different.
