Was the draft order set yet or is the number I'm seeing (13th) on my page randomly given by ESPN and the real order hasn't been determined yet?

No. I got back late yesterday. I'll get the new guys in later today and set the real draft order.

Sent the invite to Dubious finally.

I'm hoping SA Poster "Metapod" notices my post to them in the generic league thread, because they don't have PMs. If you know them, please let them know they're up.

Otherwise it goes to the next person on the list. IN the meantime, I'm now about to do the draft order.

I changed the draft order on ESPN to reflect this. It's your loving fault if I hosed up and you don't notice. I'm not checking again.

To be clear

Dubious is to replace "FlyWhiteBoy"
Metapod is to replace "seventeen"

We're sorry to see them both go. :smith:

Both of y'all feel free to change your names (and tell me what you're changing it to).

You may have to settle for a kicker. That D should be a top 5 pick.

Even in this league you're a moron if you draft a kicker before the last round.

d/st is different because those return yards can make up for a multitude of sins in your lineup.

I mean normally that rule that will always apply. This poo poo ain't normal. Just want to point out that last year Gostkowski (2015 #1 kicker), drafted in the 8th, averaged 10.5 points a game, and scored 168 points on the year.

Latavius Murray (2015 #10 RB), averaged 10.2 and finished with 163.8 on the year.

That is a poor comparison. Kickers are taken last because it typically does not matter much from one kicker to the next, not that they can't put up numbers similar to starting rb/wrs. The top 20 kickers had between 168 and 112 points. Eliminate the best and worst 5 and you're looking at between 142 and 121. The difference from one kicker to the next just isn't that big unless you luck into one of the best kickers of the year. Even if your kicking game is on point and you got the best guy, You're only looking at + a few points over the average kicker per game. Can a few points matter? Sure, of course, but spending an 8th rounder to try and get those few extra points instead of drafting a backup QB that is competent or something? I dunno.

Right. The difference week by week in the best kicker and a poo poo kicker is negligible.

My boys in the Joe Namath division better be pre-gaming this draft hard, because while other divisions drone on about "winning" and "being good at fantasy football", at least we know how to party.
