Supplimental pick 2 - Darren Sproles, RB, Phi. I had Detroit’s defense targeted the whole time. It went with the very last pick. Damn. Willing to trade a WR for a good defense. ---

I’d love a free agency period (not waivers) maybe starting tomorrow morning. If waivers continues until tomorrow night, we can’t sign anyone for week 1. ---

Ok, we’re officially under way. Everyone’s on waivers for now, but they’ll come off of waivers on Saturday (except for players from New England and Pittsburgh; they play tomorrow night, so they won’t hit free agency until next week). Remember that **Darren Sproles** and **Detroit’s DEF** are both already spoken for, so don’t pick either of them up. And I think that’s it. If we’ve missed anything, if there’s anything that still needs doing or correcting, please let me know ASAP. Failing that, good luck! ---

It just now hit me just how battered my team is to start the season. I can barely field a roster. Jordy Nelson - out for year, injury Josh Gordon - out for year, drink on team flight Martavis Bryant - out for 4 games, potsburg steelers Jay Ajayi - out for 10 games, injury Ryan Mathews - downgraded from servicible RB2 starter to backup Trent Richardson - biggest bust of all time Denard Robinson - pretty decent RB2 through second half of last year, replaced as starter It’s a fucking disaster. I have no choice but to start backups. ---

Sounds like you should trade me Gronk and Rodgers and go full rebuild! ---

Richardson is overhyped as a bust. He was a bad running back, but not totally useless. Compare, say, JaMarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf. ETA: I have the third highest draft grade. I assume that is based on our entire rosters rather than just this year’s picks, since Yahoo doesn’t know the difference. Maybe my optimism for this year is not misplaced ---

Sunbelt division has 3 of the top 5 power rankings slots (points through end of season including playoffs). It’s going to be some sort of injustice done to someone. ---

That’s exactly what happened last year. I went 9-5 and scored more points than every team in the other two divisions except **Stringer** , but only finished third in the division.

No objection here either. I guess it’s really **Omni** ’s vote, though. ETA: I don’t think it’s really that obvious that Brady would have been the guy. The Philly/Atlanta game has the highest over/under of the weekend and it was raining in Foxboro. ---

For retroactive roster changes I always let Yahoo projections determine who should have started. In this case, Brady had the higher projection. ---
