Many about tonight for mock?

matthew8 · 10-08-2012 7:39pm

I'll be in.

GoldFour4 · 10-08-2012 8:13pm

ill be there too

matthew8 · 10-08-2012 9:34pm

Today's team, drafting 9:
1. Matthew Stafford
2. Jamaal Charles
3. Doug Martin
4. Antonio Brown
5. Torrey Smith
6. Fred Davis
7. Carson Palmer
8. Mike Williams
9. Peyton Hillis
10. Doug Baldwin
11. Jon Baldwin
12. Isaiah Pead
13. Robbie Gould
14. Chiefs defense

Picked a ton of guys I haven't been picking, happy to get Charles/Hillis and Martin. Though a few guys were snatched from me at the last thought it went well.

UnitedIrishman · 10-08-2012 9:37pm

Drafted in 11th tonight, a lot on autodraft -

QB - Jay Cutler 6, Christian Ponder 12.

RB - Steven Jackson 2, Darren McFadden 1, Jonathan Stewart 5, Michael Bush 7.

WR - Brandon Lloyd 3, DeSean Jackson 4, Danny Amendola 8, Austin Collie 9, Randall Cobb 11.

TE - Kyle Rudolph 10.

Feel a bit thin at WR. Happy enough with RB's and if either backups were going well could probably look to trade them.

Spongey1975 · 10-08-2012 9:47pm

Picked 5th tonight

QBs - Tom Brady (1st), Andrew Luck (9th)
RBs - Adrian Peterson (2nd), Willis McGahee (4th), Donald Brown (7th), Jacquizz Rodgers (11th)
WRs - Jordy Nelson (3rd), Kenny Britt (6th), Laurent Robinson (8th), Sidney Rice (10th), Steve Breaston (12th)
TEs - Antonio Gates (5th)
PK - Ryan Succup (14th)
DEF - Bills (13th)

matthew8 · 11-08-2012 9:13pm

Started the draft tonight, picking 9, my first 4 picks were identical, so I stopped.

Guffy · 12-08-2012 12:05am

1.Mcfadden (pick 10)
2.A. Johnson
3.Shonn Greene
4.Josh Freeman
5.Torrey Smith

8.Packers d
9.Mark Ingram

12.Robbie Gould
13. Felix Jones
14. David Gettls

An ok team imo any thoughts?

GoldFour4 · 12-08-2012 12:17am

I don't like that team tbh. Picking a defense that early is criminal aswell.

Guffy · 12-08-2012 12:25am

i normally wouldnt have but there were 5 d picks ahead of me and packers were still there so just went with it. first draft as well so was a bit rusty tbf. cant see how you dont like the team as a whole though. potential top 5 rb expecting good things from greene and freeman gona have a good season this year, took him ahead of both mannings and cutler. was either him or dalton. AJ out wide also. where have i gone wrong?

i know its hard to say without the whole draft results but pick the holes.

matthew8 · 12-08-2012 12:25am

Me neither, 2, 3, 4 and 8 are seriously dodgy. The rest aren't bad. And how did RG3 go so late?

Guffy · 12-08-2012 12:35am

k maybe took johnson a bit high disagree on greene. dont know if i'd take freeman in real draft would depend on what qb there in 4th. duno how rg3 was there, alot of the picks in 1st went to qb's so people were playing catch up elsewhere i guess. luck was there too.

McFadden in the first round with his history is extremely risky...

fisgon · 12-08-2012 9:04pm

Any mock tonight? Doesn't seem to have been reset.

Guffy · 13-08-2012 10:30pm

k my first real draft of season, still hadn't gotten a proper amount of mock drafts for my liking and ended up with 8th pick which im not a fan of cause you generally end up with mediocre players in every round, a couple of exceptions.

1.Calvin Johnson
2.Steven Jackson
3.Demarco Murray
4.Vincent Jackson
5.Vernon Davis
6.RG3
7.Peyton Hillis
8.Denarius Moore
9.Kendall Wright
10.Neil Rackers
11.Mark Sanchez
12.Lance Kendricks
13.SD chargers d (gona try play waiver matchups with d as most went in rd 7/8/9)
14.Brendan LeFell
15.Isaiah Pead

really dont know what to make of this team. all top 10-15 qbs went in first 2-3 rounds. alot went in rd 1 and people panicked and took them in round 2. ben and peyton were still there so kept letting mine go and they got taken in the picks before me in round 6. was hoping for felix in r 15 but again snapped up just before my pick. and had meant to pick hanson as k instead of rackers but net kept dropping :@ sanchez auto also

Tristram · 14-08-2012 7:20am

It's been a few years since I played fantasy football so I wanted go through a mock draft to get ready for the boards league. It's a good thing I did too as there are a lot of cobwebs. There were a few picks that I just was not sure what I was doing which is a bad sign and I messed up a few times by not being aware of the players ahead of me and their needs. Also pulled the gun way too quickly on DEF and K. My mock was for a 10 team league so I'm worried about one for 16. It's going to be very different and much harder.

Here is the line-up and the draft positions.

Thank Feck, being doing my drafting plan around that linup

Trippie · 14-08-2012 9:20pm

What do we make of this.I was picking 5th,lost connection end of 6th round so it autopicked the 49ers for me.

Brady, Tom QB 1

Redman, Isaac RB 4
Turner, Michael RB 2
Benson, Cedric RB 8
Jones, Felix RB 12

Thomas, Demaryius WR 5
White, Roddy WR 3
Brown, Antonio WR 6

Daniels, Owen TE 11

Nugent, Mike K 14

49ers DST 7

matthew8 · 14-08-2012 9:35pm

What do you think? Mason Crosby and Laurent Robinson were autopicks. I like QB, RB and TE but number 3 wideout is pretty weak. I don't have nearly enough faith in Blaine Gabbert to start one of his receivers. Picking number 6.

1. Drew Brees
2. Adrian Peterson
3. Doug Martin
4. Shonn Greene
5. Torrey Smith
6. Fred Davis
7. Nate Washington
8. Laurent Robinson
9. Mason Crosby
10. Kendall Wright
11. Matt Cassel
12. Steve Breaston
13. Devery Henderson
14. Chiefs defense.

don't like AP without gerhart... its a bit of a risk. wright could be a big sleeper early doors depending on britts fitness in opening weeks so you could be ok there with wr 3

matthew8 · 15-08-2012 8:31pm

Spot 2, good stuff, although I won't be getting Gronk/Graham.

matthew8 · 15-08-2012 9:33pm

Draft tonight:
1. Aaron Rodgers (He should be going number one, most consistent fantasy performer)
2. Steven Jackson
3. Reggie Bush (He'll probably be asked to do it all, and I thought he looked pretty tough last year)
4. Eric Decker
5. Jason Witten
6. Malcom Floyd
7. Nate Washington
8. Donald Brown
9. Michael Bush
10. Doug Baldwin
11. Brandon LaFell
12. Jermaine Gresham
13. Robbie Gould
14. Jacksonville Jaguars

Thoughts anyone? It's maybe my favourite mock yet. 4 options at RB, imo best fantasy player in Rodgers, good middle-round WR corps and a good tight end (who I think will bounce back to more TDs because Robinson is gone). RBs all iffy but all startable.

mikemac1 · 15-08-2012 9:49pm

I love the team! Lots of quality and some value too with Gresham and Bush

Jason Witten was reported injured today

Jags defense, in a 16 man league I'm sure there is a better option out there

But yeah, a top mock

Thing with Jags defense was, as pointed out by JMH, they play Vikings in week one. The fantasy news also said Witten had some positive scan or something today, though it could be old I didn't see the date.

eagle eye · 16-08-2012 8:17pm

What times are these usually at? I need to get a bit of practice in. If there is room please let me in.

matthew8 · 16-08-2012 8:32pm

12. Woo hoo. New slot to me. I notice Jimmy Graham has made a big leap forward on draft boards. I was wondering why he was at 19.

matthew8 · 16-08-2012 9:31pm

Picking 12.

1. Jimmy Graham
2. MJD
3. Doug Martin
4. Antonio Brown
5. Jay Cutler
6. Darrius Heyward-Bey
7. Mario Manningham
8. Carson Palmer
9. Michael Bush
10. Emmanuel Sanders
11. Doug Baldwin
12. Brandon LaFell
13. Robbie Gould
14. Jags D

Thoughts?

mikemac1 · 16-08-2012 9:33pm

Slot 14, think I did ok, average mock. Just average

Matt Schuab 7

Matt Forte 1
Demarco Murray 2

Brandon Llyod 3
Vincent Jackson 4
Pierre Garcon 5

Owen Daniels 11

Josh Scobee 14

Cowboys 13

Donald Brown 6
CJ Spiller 8
Jack Locker 9
Kendall Wright 10
Jermaine Gresham 12

I like the value of my two TE's

First mock this season, forget how tough 16 teamers are

barbarians · 17-08-2012 8:34pm

Is there a mock draft going tonight ? I could really do with practice of a 16 team draft.

We still need to fill one more team. I might create another account to fill it.

Joined now, thanks Spongey.

No need, i increased the league to 18 so thats why there was two spots free. Barbarians has now joined so i removed the other free team and another (Sorry Bennycake) and we are back at 16 now

Onecoolcookie · 17-08-2012 9:45pm

So no more room left in tonight's draft then? Just on the off chance, haven't done a mock draft yet and I'm free tonight.

Comments:
Top 6 - fine, I'd have probably taken a QB 6th instead of a TE.

(7)Kenny Britt
TEN-WR
Should pick a starting QB before a bench WR.

(9)Dustin Keller
NYJ-TE
Too high for a backup TE, fill backup RB and WR slots first.

(12)Jared Cook
TEN-TE
It's questionable if you need one backup TE, definitely don't need 2!

And you need to draft a defense at some point.

boccy23 · 21-08-2012 4:26pm

Is there a draft tonight?

Would like a practice so if there's room, please send me a PM.
