Now if LJ lives up to the projections of last year carried out over a full season, then both bids are a bargain! 151 is a bit overzealous I have to admit, but to see $ I have to beat 25 other teams. I could give a ratsazz if I came in 4th or 28th. To beat 25 other teams I need serious outperformance. As I was telling route C - LJ as a starter avg 31 pts over 8 games. Alexander avg 23 in the same period. That's an 8 pt diff, I'm laying out 9.4 per game. Thats the kind of player I'm looking for. I love the #1 spot this year and figured this could be my only shot at it. Sure it's pie in the sky but that's my spin gents !

Well stated snake. With 3 of the top 28-30 picks it's highly possible to have 3 top 12-15 players which adds up to alot more than 5-10 points from one of the big 3 RB's.

That's the only reason I'd ever think about giving up more than a few points for a draft slot in a DC league.

I was simply stating that Snake can't possibly say the #3 spot is better than the #1 or #2. NO ONE can be 100% accurate on "who goes to what team" after about the 1st round, and although it is fairly easy for everyone to find the "group" that will be there come their pick, saying one is CLEARLY better than the other, is pure specualation.

That all being said, I just don't understand why Snake wouldn't want his CHOICE of the top 3 (could have had #1 for $89) rather than get what falls to him????

Are picks #26 and #31 CLEARLY better than #28 and #29??? Possibly, but drafts NEVER seem to go the way you think they will, and most of the players lumped in that area will be the same caliber. A semi-serious/serious injury to ONE of the "Big 3" during preseason could REALLY hurt the #3 picks chances.

We also have to consider that in the DC format, draft position IS NOT as important as it is in the Main, etc. Whoever stays the healthiest along with whose backups go of when their starters are off, injured, etc. will reign supreme here IMO.

...SNAKE will take his chances here as things stand and will reiterate that the #3 pick is more desirable than the #1 slot (yes even in a DC league)...SNAKESeems to be an interesting take...makes me wonder if someone in the second round may slide here...Manning? Or two top tier WR with 2nd and 3rd round picks? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

(Just hopefully not when he plays Oakland!)

Forgetting about points, free agent $$ etc. if I asked you to list your preference of picks, would you not list the top 3(in any order) as your top 3 choices???

AGAIN.... staying healthy and getting breaks on your bye weeks come into play MUCH more in a DC, hence why your position ISN'T AS IMPORTANT (still an advantage, just a lesser one). Understand???

My points bid was reasonable IMO, and I honestly didn't think I would get a top 3 pick with my bid. I felt ALL of the top 3 would go for $80 +. I was close in my prediction, but I obviously didn't spend WAY more than others for a top 3 pick.
