Since I don't know most of everyone by their real names...I figure it would be ok to ask what your draft position and thoughts about what you got.

My partner Ico Jones and I (we are both named David) got the #4 pick in NY League #6.

We are both estatic since we lock in one of the "sacred six". I felt if we got picks 7-10 it wouldnt be the end of the world. I think picks 11-14 have to do a lot of homework and research.

Believe me when I say this, anyone with great instincts and a whole lotta luck can win from any seed.

So if you do not happen to like your draft spot, dont go and jump off a building yet. Well unless you are in league NY#6, you can basically hand Ico and I the 5 large now!

Are you're saying that picks 1-10 DON'T have to do as much "homework and research"? I hope they think like that in my league.

Liquid, just want to let you and Ico know I got the #8 pick in Vegas #3 and love it because Gordon got #13. According to his statements the last 6 weeks, he's donating his money to the cause this year, but I doubt that. Don't know how I managed it but I've got Team Gekko in all 3 leagues I'm in.

TS, how's Gaston been treating you?

So you get another head start. You really don't have any excuses for not beating me. I've said from the start that the lower-end draft slots are bad. I'm not saying that I can't do well, but I have to get real lucky with my picks.

I managed to escape Gaston as I left Myrtle Beach Friday and drove to my home in Hammond, LA. to spend a week with my wife and daughter and get ready for Vegas. I did call work this morning and they were still there so it probably wasn't too bad. I am however watching Francis and told my payroll clerk to get out of Dodge and don't look for me next week if Francis turns toward SC. I stayed for Charley and know better than to drive back for Francis.

Gekko -- you hedge better than Larry Brown.

"I didn't pick this team" = "I got a bad draft spot"

If you lose it's not your fault, if you win you overcame the odds with your management genius.

I am referring to the general fantasy world consensus that a large majority of leagues will be picking one of the six RB's deemed sacred in slots #1 - 6, and 7-10 has 3 RB's, a WR and a QB to pull them through without really guessing too much. In picks #11-14, you maybe looking at some RB's that may or may not fair as good as a first round draft pick should. But then again that is why we play the games and one or even a few can do better than the sacred six RB's.

At any rate, good luck!
