OK, I got a warning that that post was 71 character too long. Who knew there was a limit! Oh, and how sad is it that I’ stayed up until 3 AM writing 20000 characters on a thread for a fantasy football league I’m not even in… ---

I don’t really think you’re weird, **Omni**. I’m just glad to keep the thread alive. By way of an explanation of some of the draft trends you picked up on, it’s a 25/10/10 yardage league with a point per reception, and the starting skill positions are WR, WR, RB, RB/WR. That explains the anti-RB bias, and the inflation of the top three quarterbacks – the dropoff from Manning to Green last year, by our settings, was 50% bigger than the dropoff from LT to Thomas Jones (not that I don’t think the Thomas Jones pick was a brilliant maneuver, mind you), and McNabb scored more points overall than anybody besides Manning and Culpepper.
