At first glance, my team looks absolutely ****ing ridiculous. But considering this is a 6 person league, I imagine all the teams are going to look pretty damn good. Still, having Tomlinson and Rudi Johnson at running back, Chad Johnson, Antonio Gates, and three solid QBs seems pretty nice.
Also, I've never heard of any of my individual defensive players.
How in the world did "Mean Machine" end up with both Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer :eyebrow:? How exactly does autodraft work, anyways? Those guys were both in my top 4...
Oh well. Overall I'm pretty happy with my team. My backups could use some work, though

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
It randomly determines a draft order. A different one is determined for each round mainly keeping everyone at equal numbers of first picks, middle picks, etc.
It takes the first draft picks draft orders by position. Say its a QB. Then it goes to his QB Ranks List and picks the highest one available. Say Peyton Manning. Then it goes to the rest of the people the same way.
Then the second round starts with a new first picker and it looks at his/her 2nd ranking for position, then looks at the highest available rank for that and picks it.
Wow......kinda shocked to see a thread like this. I'm all about football season (Feb-Aug is just Sooooooo depressing) so if anyone would like to start another league I have accounts on NFL.com and ESPN.com. I even saved my personal league set up from last year on ESPN, so the scoring system etc is already in place.....though I would like to make a few minor changes. But, 6 people is just a few to liitle. If we can get 10 that'd be great. I dont have a problem setting everything up, all I need are your emails and I'll send out the league requests. If we get more than 10 people, we'll probably have to do a few different ones......no biggie though......If memeory serves me correct I played in 20 or so legues last year so it's a non-issue:D
I was under the impression that an auto-draft followed the serpentine draft system. It drafts whoever is at the top of your pre-draft rankings, regardless of positions. Go into the draft results, then draft analysis.
As was commented on by a few other people. I only know 1 or 2 defensive players I ended up with. I'm suprised Kevin Jones didn't go until the 18th round though. Granted, with only 6 people, it appears that people fall further, but why is everyone down on K. Jones?
Other than IDPs, I think my receivers/tight ends need a lil work. Trade anyone?:p

It depends how the ranks were. If you ranked by single players, than you should be right SP. But the way NFL does it is the rank by rounds (what position to draft in which round) and then it takes the highest available player from your position ranks based on the round.
well I know of a least one or two fellow magic players who don't post on any forums (anymore) that would be interested so I can get a few more if need be. I'm gonna make an edit here in a minute.......once I find my old league rules/setup......see what ya think.....its a bit different than most are probably used to. Now that I look......my league only had 8 teams. But that'll work
Okay I just created an 8 player league on ESPN.com
Anyone whose interested plz msg me with your email so I can send and invite. I haven't chosen a time/date yet as we'll need to see what's most convenient for the majority of us.
Holy S**T my team is stacked. I got everyone I wanted! My QBs are a little weak (Mcnabb, Plummer and Hasselbeck) butmy receiving core and RBs are orgasmic... Edj and Brian Westbrook are my starters, with Stephen Jackson as a backup
Receiver-wise, I've got Randy Moss, Torry holt and Todd Heap
Individual Defense, I have Urlacher and C-Mac
The only thing that I desperately want is the Chicago Defense. EXTREMEICON!!! YOU BETTER TRADE ME THAT DEFENSE!!! COme on... I have baltimore and washington for it

That's a pretty bad trade for you man. Might wanna rethink that one. I mean it's going to come to the bye week and you're going to be like w00t go Arizona D.

Haha, we'll work something out, I hope. And there's nothing wrong with the arizona D
OKay, I can't say that without a straight face
Seriously though, Bears rock my world. I just signed Cedric Benson
Bears D is gonna go for hella pts week 1. It's sad how pathetic Green Bay has become. Guess I can't flame them too much though as my team has fared about as well the last 5 or 6 yrs.
Purple: Get rid of Moss while you can. Heap may very well lead all TE this year, so nice pick! Regarding Edge......meh......not this year i dun think
although Arizona could easliy find themselves in the Playoffs. Holt is always solid......the guy catches everything. Westbrook is hurt......but even if he wasn't I'd still start Jackson over him. Hasselbeck n McNabb are very solid starting QB's. And Hasselbeck as with Jackson both play in one of the weakest divisions in football.
Karmic: That'll work if they're playing San Francisco:)
Just my opinion of course......
Either of you interested in participating in another?

Indeed. Here's what their game plan is gonna be... BLITZ THE S**T OUT OF FAVRE!!! haha, That's why I'm happy to have Urlacher as one of my individuals. They've got no running game (crappy o-line) and no passing game (crappy WRs). If they can contain the Favre/Franks Duo, they win hard.

Holt is by bonafide WR. He's an amazing player with the ability to pick up YAC. Also, he's got a good QB in Bulger.
Moss should do well. With the starting job up in the air in oakland, they should be looking to throw the ball deep, and you can guarentee that He'll be there
Heap will finish 3rd TE-wise behind Crumpler and Gates. Shockey witll give him a run for his money.
I'm not sure about Westbrook. He reminds me a lot of marshall Faulk, and that means he's a dynamic threat in both the rushing and receiving games. With Phili lacking a solid receiver (although they just signed stallworth), they will throw to Westbrook, and Andy reid already said that they want to establish a good rushing attack as well this year. I'll stick with him (depending on his injury, obv.)

One more would give us 6 which is a lot better than 4, but I'd still love it if we could make it up to 8
Let the games begin!
