1) Try not to get banned again for realtalkin' Juiced. I know it's hard at times, but you know how it is...

2) I'll do the draft order tonight!

3) Dan Marino Division - the best division

As far as people missing the draft, I don't mind so much with people who have been in the league and have been in drafts before. I have more of a problem with people who never make the draft ever. Skokie was one of those guys, and as much as I love him, it was kinda frustrating that he missed the draft like every year.

Only fantasy draft where you can move up 6 spots and still be in the bottom third of the draft. I think I will like picking from 14 this year.

I see I'm picking at the end of the first round as cosmic retribution for missing the last draft. Karma is a bitch. At least I have a chance to do ok on the swing picks.

Do not try and score on the powerplay. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

There is no powerplay.

A friend of mine and I team up and troll drafts all the time on ESPN.

The key is to pick players that are clear reaches but not ridiculous trolls like picking a kicker or backup QB. You then praise the picks of your friends as "prophetic" and wonderful.

People get furious.

Right, because it's an obvious troll.

You need to reach just beyond the round you're in. Draft second round guys in the first, etc. Then people just think you're stupid, not that you're intentionally loving their draft.

It's more fun if you go into the same mock with a friend. Then you can call all your friend's picks awesome and praise them as insightful. People get so confused.

I drafted 2 good QBs last season and got almost nothing for Cam Newton in a trade b/c there is no demand for QBs in the early weeks since everyone is willing to give it a few weeks to see what happens with their team.

When you roll with Mike Glennon and the corpse of Matt Schaub as your QBs, you know you're in the 20 team league.

2 years ago I'm pretty sure I didn't even have a QB for multiple weeks. That's why I'll always get 2.

And with 20 teams, that means there are many teams that will have to start no QB during their main QB's bye week. That's basically an auto-loss.

I remember trading Sanchez away for some help the first season when I actually did alright. Other than that keeping a QB has helped me none. Last season, I kept pleading for someone to give me a TE in exchange for a QB that was doing well. No one who needed a QB had a TE they were willing to give up.

In summary, draft the best player on the board, hope for the best.
