Why the hell is my first pick Earnest Grahm? I know I missed the draft and all, but why was my first pick forfeited.

LGP, I was there for the Live Draft and your first pick was Skipped because no selection was made and you weren't on Autopick

As noted in an earlier post, I myself lost my first pick because I couldn't see the MAKE PICK button and thus I was Skipped.

(We were all warned at least two weeks earlier in the How Your Draft Board Should Look thread that failure to select a pick would result in a SKIP)

In my case, League Commish HACHEMAN saw the skip and thought I was absent, so he used SuperPowers to set my team to AutoPick and it took S Jackson...after which I fixed my display and proceeded for rest of draft

In your case, unless I'm mistaken, HACHE did same for you when the first pick was Skipped. (flipped your team to Auto)

As to why it selected Graham (or any of the other screwy choices), I can't explain.

Never saw that thread, and I've never heard of a pick getting skipped altogether for being absentee. Was that thread posted in the actual league, or just the forums? And if those are the rules then it sounds like i should have missed all my picks.

Can we work anything out here commish?

Hey Fishead, your RBs look a bit thin. I'll trade you either of my top 2 RBs (D. Williams or Slaton) for Andre Johnson. Of course, we'd have to match up the positions. Id have to get back one of your RBs and you one of my WRs

Or how about you BARMAN: Id like Reggie Wayne for one of my RBs


Very confident with my backfield.

Yes, it's in this subforum

http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=702161

Was actually posted a couple days before first (our league's) Draft

The reason all your picks weren't Skipped is because when HACHE saw your first one SKIPPED, he presumed you were Absent and triggered the AutoPick command for your team

Given this league has no up front cost, it would seem that any of us who got jacked (me included with a Skipped #1) can make the best of it and go for finishing in top six out of ten within our league

What could I do LetsGetPaid?

Take away the players from the guys who were there & drafted & the couple that weren't there but ranked their players beforehand & set on AutoPick?

Really just nothing I can do, I apologize.....

A guy last year in one of the leagues missed the first 2-3 picks and ended up winning his league.....:toast:

heh...

Well, it's reasonable to submit that at least a third of FFB is good/bad luck related to injuries (with "Draft picks" and "inseason roster moves" the other 2/3).

So while we might have suffered in the Draft Pick component, we could well manuever our way into late contention if at least a couple other teams fumble the InseasonMoves and have a couple key injuries.

It just sucks, I was really looking forward to this league, and losing the first pick isn't too horrible, it's that all the other picks don't seem to be in the right order that really messes me up. I guess I'll just roll with it.

Now that my draft is over, I can state that you should be arrested for stealing by getting Andre Johnson at the end of Round 2. I took him with my first pick (#6 overall).

(<)<

Barman, I didn't ask what the bet was, I was asking the MONEYLINE price.


Give me your possible projected starting lineup for week one and I will give mine.......that way I can make a moneyline price.

As of right now, here is my OPENING DAY STARTING LINE-UP

QB- Rogers vs. Chi
RB- A.P. @ Cle
RB- K. Smith @ n.o.
WR-A. Johnson vs nyj
WR-Royal @ cin
TE- Clark vs. jax
K- Crosby vs. Chi
D- Tampa vs. dal

This is the 2nd time ever that I've been accused of being Barman. Just kidding. I think you quoted the wrong post.

Given the content of my post, I would think that anyone who has both A.Petersen and A.Johnson on their roster has to be big chalk no matter who they are facing.

FHEAD, no need to handicap this prominent WeekOne Pinellas County matchup

It opened at EVEN odds and has not budged, thus my offer for the Loser Buys drinks/dinner

With the exception of SanDiego, all of my Week one opponents will be non-playoff teams at years end

OMG.......LMFAO!

I was willing to wager on the FISHHEAD SHARKS vs. the BARMAN misfits, but not at these prices.

My overnights had me making the line......

SHARKS +150
BARMAN -165........(yes, I use a 15 cent line).

The advantage the BARMAN squad has over the team from the deep waters is on the defensive side of the ball...........NYG vs TAMPA..........and believe this will be the difference in the game.

The SHARKS are definetly the underdog here.

I think you're doing a fair job of capping, my central Pinellas amigo.

But you must understand that the prevalent line is going to be set by the ol' John Q Public.....And I think we can all agree that FHEAD vs BARMAN in the public perception is like the NewEnglandPats hosting the USF Bulls.

come on, brother.

We'll make it an Even wager and I'll buy us both a pair of TB Lightning tickets for upcoming game regardless of the FFB outcome....thus creating some Juice in your favor.
