1.04 Le'veon Bell
With the top 2 RBs ofF the board, he was my highest ranked player. Antonio Brown was a cloooooose second, but because we could start 3 RBs and because I know a top tier RB won't make it back to me, I'm going bell.

2.09 Jay Ajayi
Whoa, a top tier RB did make it back to me. With best ball, i figure that Ajayi's inconsistency won't hurt as much. Plus there are just no great WRs left on the board

3.04 A little shocked both Fournette and GRonk made it back to me. In a vacuum, I'd prefer Fournette. But I already have 2 RBs and I'm pretty good at developing talent at that position. So Gronk it is. This is my favorite pick so far.

I'm excited. MFL's adp rankings really bury a lot of good guys, so I'm betting one will fall to me, 15 picks from now.

I also pay wayyyyy too much attention during the offseason, it's nice to have a chance to use all that knowledge that will be in the collective FF consciousness three months from now

yeah it just takes your top 10 players every week and uses those points.

4.11 - Julian Edelman - may catch slightly less balls with Cooks there and a healthy Gronk, but should still be effective enough

5.02 - Eric Decker - betting on those sweet sweet garbage time points to make this worth it

I don't love either of these picks but I wanted to start stocking up on receivers

Edelman's going to be like Wes Welker in 2007

6.09 Martavis Bryant
If he's sober, he is a solid bet to win the #2 slot in a top 5 offense. There is a lot of risk, but my other choice was Corey Davis, and I think there's risk there, too

Since I took Mariota over him, I think you are wrong. :colbert:

Whoever drafted Jordan Matthews, come in here and defend your pick so we can mock you for taking Jordan Matthews.

I did.

Carson Wentz is going to improve, there will be attention on Jeffries. Matthews feels like a safe bet for 800+ yards and a few weeks with a td or two. I don't like John Brown, that new charger guy, Cobb, Ross, Marquis, Meredith, nor Thielen, but I think I needed a 4th wr because that's my weak spot. So Matthews felt right. Feel free to tear me apart, constructively, that's why we do these early exercises

I almost picked DeAngelo Williams because i have LeVeon. I was really close, then I did some googling and found out that Williams is no longer a steeler.

I feel MFL ranked the rookies way too high relative to the non-elite veterans. There's still a sizable gulf between those tiers and I think the "shiny new toy"-ism of the rookies can lead someone into a trap.

Khunt 11.04

Was it Mae West who once quipped, "when I have to decide between two evils, I always pick the one I never did before?"

Someone has to emerge in the KC backfield, right? Might as well choose the one who I haven't seen utterly wash up. Khunt also catches passes on a reasonable offense so he might be able to get a two touchdown week even if he never rises to the starting slot

I forgot there are no kickers, so I was planning on starting with defenses by round 17. Since my top defense was on the board, I figured it was worth a two round reach. It wasnt worth the four round reach, though

[14.09 Carson Palmer .
Thrilled to have this guy available by the time I was like , "oh, I guess I need two quarterbacks because I'm a dumb noob to best ball." Probably not going to top Brady often,

15.04 Houston Texans
I dunno man, they're the top defense and so I thought I'd go early. It's not because I forgot this was 20 rounds and not 15, SO DON'T THINK THAT

16.09 Dwayne "the Wayne" Allen
I own Gronk so this seemed better than the lottery tickets available

17.04 Ted Ginn, Jr.
He has Drew Brees throwing to him, so you know he's gonna have a few freak games with like 2-125-2. You universally know this in your hearts to be true

18.09DeAndre Washington
Third guy behind that line behind the aging Marshawn Lynch. He'll rip a few long TD runs and if Jalen Richard's number comes up Washington will be starting BEHIND THAT LINE

19.04Packers D
Needed something to compliment Houston's Defense. GB's going to be up a bunch in a few games and prob score a lot from the other team trying to catch up

Yeah there were two last year and there's no reason not to have more if anyone wants them. It takes like 20 minutes or something to set one up in MFL and they're free.

When the last handful of picks are done, I'm planning to do a "draft grade" thing where I poo poo all over your picks judge the teams on relative merit based on my own lovely football opinions, and if anyone else wants to do that I think it'd be cool and good.

One thing I like, if you're looking for ideas, is where the draft grader asks each team a question or two about a decision/plan they've made. If you send me questions, I will answer them

20.09 Tyler Higbee
I needed someone to round out my TEs (Gronk and Allen). Higbee is on the Rams, so there will be a desperate need for a safety valve

Good read Sataere

My strategy was simple, as this was my first best ball draft (odd, seeing as how I've played in multiple leagues for 17 years, now).
I just wanted to go best player available until the well ran dry, then utilize the advantages provided by best ball to shore up my weaknesses. So I got Bell/Ajayi/Brady/Gronk, then I tried to patch over my WR hole by getting 7 guys with oddly high upside. I worry my RBs are too thin once Bell/Ajayi get injured. I'd have to look at whose available, but I think I would like to have picked another solid RB in the 5th instead of Martavis Bryant. At the time, I didn't foresee that I would nail that WR crew, so I wanted to get some WRs right away.
