[Cocktails and Dreams]

I can't believe we are drafting for the online championship in May that is absurd. These drafts should not be started until July at the earliest. Just way too much variation between now and the start of the season someone could luck themselves into several high draft picks and unexpected starters and gain a huge advantage over the rest of the field. This is just way too early. You can say "well they also can get unlucky with injuries" which is true but the guys who get unlucky lose $350 the guy who gets lucky wins $100,000.

...Dont post much, but I disagree about 100%. So if an early drafter foresees who is undervalued right now before the camps start and information is disseminated to the masses that is luck?

I'd call it skill . The injury part is luck, but I would argue the early draft faces far more risk of injury than a late drafter.
I'd say it takes more skill to win drafting early.......just my 2 cent opinion

Joe: Henry just wants to increase his chances of winning so he can pat himself on the back more in his signature.

LMAO. Good stuff.

I'm predicting Adrian Peterson for bust of the year, along with another NFL loser -- Shady McCoy.

Anyone who drafts these guys better hope luck is on their side in 2015.
