Calling all Fantasy Football refugees!

Nurse Carmen, you’re on the clock.

Holy coW! Already! Ok, just cause he’s my home team, and he’s a ball hog at the goal line, here we go…

Damn, I haven’t drafted fro too long, did I just screw up big time by not taking a RB?

Well… Daunte is an interesting #1, that’s for sure! You’ll find RBs to be extremely scarce when it gets back to you at 2.10 and 3.1. Odds are, you probably could have waited for Culpepper at either of those spots. However, there’s a lot to be said for having players you actively like and root for.

A big dilemma this year is going to be the 1-3 spots of the draft. There’s no clear #1 right now, especially with questions regarding Priest Holmes’ hip injury. Tomlinson and Ricky Williams have been the most consistent #1s I’ve seen, with Tomlinson being the favored.

Personally, I’d be happy with Tomlinson, Williams, Holmes (if healthy), Faulk or Portis as my #1 RB. That gives me a guaranteed choice in the first 5 spots of the draft, making #5 my absolute best choice (quicker pick in Rd. 2).

Of course, that’s the easy part. The hardest part is ranking the second tier of WRs. That’s what is going to separate the men from the boys (or the women from the girls, in NC’s case).

Man, that filled up fast. Guess I missed out this time. Now I’ll be reduced to heckling you all after the fact.

Oh yeah, and NurseCarmen is male.

Yeah, I also will stand around and make fun.

Do we have enough people for a second mock?

You can sign up for multiple mocks, if you guys want another go. Seems we have a couple pissy non-Dopers in this one. Gannon at 1.06 is even more interesting than Daunte at 1.01. An interesting feature that is very helpful is the “Average Draft Info” link, which allows you to sort the average ranking of each or every position in all previous drafts. It’s a very helpful tool in the later rounds, and to see where your next favorite player might be taken, so you can stay a step ahead of the game.

There’s a way to reserve an entire draft by creating multiple accounts (socks are okay on that system), I’ll see if I can figure it out.

I’m up for it, I’ll keep an eye on this thread.

Man, pissy non-dopers is right. I’m getting ripped for not paying attention. My last league valued QB’s over all, so I went with what I knew. Oh well. It does make the games more interesting when your fantasy team has people playing.

I’m in for filling one of your socks, I’d rather be playing congenial with good natured jibes. Not with unknown asshats.

Okay, let’s try draft 429. It’s an 8 person draft. I’ll start filling it in, but if you see that there’s 1 or 2 spots left, PLEASE sign up, so that some other shmoe doesn’t slip in.

I’ll wait until 10:00am Central time to do so.

I suppose I should ask who’s in!

Yep, some people take this stuff WAY too seriously. Why aren’t they playing in the money leagues if they’re such experts?

Bold picks like that make Fantasy leagues fun. If they work, you’re a genius, if not then we WILL rip on you, NurseCarmen :slight_smile:

Course, the Vikes suck*, so we’ll probably be picking on you soon.

If it woulda been 3 years ago, I woulda gone with Bret.

I joined at 10:15, nobody was there yet. The carmendacious dopers will rise above the last draft :smiley:

Alrighty, here we go. We have all 8 spots. Here’s the deal. Each team has a number, 1-7. You want a team, go ahead and claim it. The new url is:

http://www.antsports.com/as/AS429/

  1. Click the team you want. (I claim Team 7.)
  2. Click on ‘Franchise Setup’.
  3. Password is “cecil*”, where *=your number (i.e. my password is “cecil7”).
  4. You can now go in and change your team name, password, etc. Most of the AntSports guys make you keep the password the same so the commish can make picks for the slowpokes, but I could care less.

WL, get in on this.

All right, I’m in! I randomly chose team 5 as my team. The Future crack dealers of America may not make it on the field, but they’ll always know how to make a living on the streets.

I don’t think Lawrence Taylor is available this year, neuroman…

Still need 3 more. jk? mouthbreather? Shibb? Payton? Team 1, Team 2 and Team 4 are in need of a GM - Team 4 is on the clock.

I’m trying. This system is very confusing to me. Has the draft for draft 429 started already? It appears that it has.

I claimed Team 6 but I wasn’t logged into the site. Evidently it worked anyway and I’m using it on a Guest account, which is strange. I feel like I’m not really understanding what’s going on but I seem to have taken a team for the draft, so all’s well that ends well… I think.

Well, I can’t un-claim Team 6 with the guest account to use the account that I have with them, but whatever I guess. I’m Team 6, now called WL. If I’ve done anything wrong please let me know.

Crap, is it full?

K, I’m in. Cool that they host a free site but the user friendly rating is in the toilet. Let’s Go! I want Ben Gay with my first pick – NO ONE TAKE HIM.
