My goal is 4th worst or better this year. I'm not even thinking about playoffs.

How are we paying our dues and such? Paypal?

Added you to the list! I've half-joked about a Tier C a couple of times, but now I know we probably couldn't add one without enlisting the help of someone else as co-commissioner.

--

:siren: Everyone in Tier A should have received a PM or e-mail with a link to sign up for the draft board. If you didn't get one, lemme know

Draft's this Tuesday at 7:00 PM PST / 10:00 PM EST

1)



2) My availability tonight is questionable at best, so I've enlisted old dog child's help to run the draft

3) dewey7788 still needs to claim a team in Clickydraft. Do that.

4) There's a two minute timer. If we have to autodraft for you, you'll be assigned the highest available player according to the Fantasypros rankings (they're the ones built into Clickydraft) by either myself or old dog child.

5)


When it's your turn to pick, you can click the blue draft button to make a selection. You can click the blue draft button again to make that dialogue go away.


The view mode button will take you from the draft board to a list of player rankings, and back again


Careful with your trigger fingers. The plus button on the left will draft a player if it's your turn. The star button is how to add to favorites list.

Yea but I finished 4th last season, so I should in theory have some sort of advantage? v:confused:v

I guess this just shows that winning is as much about the waiver wire as it is your draft.

WRs went a bit earlier than I predicted but there wasn't anything I could do about that.

QB: The Talented Peyton, Johnny Football as a flyer in the 18th
RB: All Day, Eddie Lacy, Woodhead, McFadden, Cunningham
WR: Demaryius Thomas, TY Hilton, Julian Edelman, Brian Hartline --- By far my weakest position
TE: Ertz
LB: Derrick Johnson, Bobby Wagner, Perry Riely
DB: Antrel Rolle, Troy Polamalu, Johnthan Banks --Not great, not bad... DBs are weird creatures, sometimes the better they are the less points they get
DL: J.J. Watt, Adrian Clayborn
K: Steven Hauschka


So, team analysis. Top 3 QB. RB: 2x top 10 is very likely but then my flex falls off a cliff and if someone gets hurt I'll be scraping the bottom of the barrel. 1 solid WR and some replacement level guys, just hope for the best there. TE - We will see. LB: I think it's very solid. DB: I don't even try to guess, waivers are there and I'll likely use them at some point. But I drafted the best hair in football so there's always that. DL: Very solid, no concerns. K: Great but who cares?

My core is solid and can go up against pretty much any team but my depth is a puddle. Guess we will see how it turns out.
Congrads to whoever plays me in week 4.

Draft results are in. Let me know if I hosed anything up besides east coast sleep schedules.

Housekeeping: Brock Vereen isn't in the database yet, so I threw Tom Zbikowski on my roster as a placeholder for him.

Welp, see ya in Tier B next year, little babies!

In reality I think I did OK despite panic-drafting Jay Cutler in the 8th loving round and having Dwayne Bowe added to my team as an auto-pick.

I am relying on Julio and Demarco being 100% through the season, Jordan Cameron living up to last year's numbers with Hoyer and keeping that production under Maziel, and the mystical magic of Marc Trestman.

Let me tell you a story about drafting two teams simultaneously while being a little drunk.

RUNNER-UP
got the knowshon


5th best for a team missing a DB and with a kicker out the first 4 weeks. Clicky Draft's Web interface sucks for mobile. Doesn't help I was trying to draft during dinner though. I just gave up about halfway through. No vacations during the last week of August anymore.

When is waivers over so I can pick up some FAs? I couldn't find it on the ESPN app.

Yeah, I'm not sure that I'd use Clickydraft again next year. We experienced a weird problem with their DB rankings towards the end of the draft.

I opted for Clickydraft over MFL because it's more visually appealing and seemed more mobile friendly at the time. To be fair though, I was able to make my first 3 picks and participate in the chat during my commute home so I'm not sure what happened on your end. Sorry. If ESPN doesn't fix their keeper system (they won't) I'll have to reexamine next year.

Not sorry for your last couple of picks, though. I was drinking and clicked a second DL instead of a DB. And I liked it.
