Straight Dope Fantasy Football Mock Draft

WL, I’m using the same passwords and accounts from the last draft, so you’ve obviously already reset them.

Sorry for the confusion regarding Hamlet, jk1245, and NurseCarmen. I put their names in, and then realized that it would be unclear that they (a) haven’t set up their team yet and (b) would know what their password was.

For the record, Hamlet has been e-mailed. I’m not sure if jk or NurseCarmen know yet. Could someone else e-mail them? I have to go home soon.

Just emailed NurseCarmen.

jk1245 has no email listed on the SDMB.

I only wish I was #5.

So can we set some groundrules? The lineup card listed on the draft site is pretty vague.

I propose that we assume the same lineup we did for the previous draft (QB RB RB WR WR TE PK DT), despite what’s listed on the site (“1 QB 1-2 RB 3-4 WR/TE 1 PK 1 DT,” whatever that means).

And are we going to be using the HPS rules? If I can’t get a true RB stud at 01.09, I’ll take a WR and take his 1 pt p/ recept all the way to the bank. But if we’re going to be assuming a standard, generic fantasy scoring rubric, I might just go with whoever’s left at RB.

I’ve got a newbie question.

Is there anything after the draft is over or is this just practice for later in the year when fantasy leagues are being set up?

Ok, go ahead and laugh… I deserve it, but I’m not familir with this site. :smiley:

Just practice. To get an idea of what people’s perception is of the players involved. Read over the thread related to the draft we just completed to have a look at the kind of commentary going on.

YO Haaaaammmmmmlllllllleeeeetttttttttttttt

zzzzzzzzz

Time to start a sidebet: how many days/weeks will this draft take to finish? I’m going to put my stake on 11 days.

Put me down for 11 days 17 hrs 23 min…

Seconded. And let’s stick with the standard scoring.

You know, guys, any one of you could have picked for Hamlet.

Been a long time since I’ve drafted so low (I picked #1 the past two years in the SDMB league). From down here it looks like all of my faves will be gone. Strange to see M. Faulk go so low, but hardly surprising after last season.

Where’s Mouthbreather? And it would have seemed unsporting to pick for Hamlet… does he know that he’s involved?

Well, I just saw this after my pick. that’s OK, I still take MH.

Okay, 'breather and I took the first two WRs, now MrChan(?) is on the clock…

Oh mouthbreather, be nice, no no-brainer talk. It’s a gentlemen’s draft.

Neener neener neener’s are okay.

:confused: I just meant my decision at that point was a no-brainer…not trying to be a dick to anyone.

OK, I’m in.

Dammit, 2nd to last pick. That must mean I lost the Super Bowl, right?

Says the guy who took Gannon with the 2nd overall pick…
