As someone who was in a league earlier this summer where someone made "unconventional" picks. I don't think it made the rest of the league as strong as some implied. All good drafters and one questionable drafter doesn't swing things as much as say having 4 or 5 mediocre drafters all in one league...letting multiple players slide even further.

Also Agree it's bad form to minimize others in this draft if they do well. The difference one guys draft makes isn't enough to say these teams have a big enough advantage to have an "ALERT" thread. Smack the drafter around a bit for a couple picks you disagree with but don't claim the whole league is out of whack because it probably isn't the easiest league just because of a few questionable picks.

I am not pointing fingers at any team being a bad team.

The more below average drafters in your league .... the better off you are. The more above average drafters in your league the worse off you are.

In other leagues ... S Jackson went 9th, Manning went mid 3rd, Brady went mid second round.

I have seen guys on IR for two weeks drafted in the first 3 rounds in the main ... I have seen Culpepper drafted first on a main event team. You guys crack me up. Until you see the entire draft ... how can you judge the difficulty of the league as a whole?

Other than we all agree that it is an advantage to have bad drafters in your league and a disadvantage to have good drafters in your league ... I am also sure you will not get 5 people here to agree on who is good and who is bad.

Good luck all.

Coming up next: "MEA CULPA!!"

I must have missed it where someone said it was an easy draft.

I was not attempting to call out this drafter or anyone in particular who made comments trying to minimize the impact of a weak drafter to a league.
Using the hypothetical team drafted does nothing more to support an argument than looking at the results of a draft before the season plays out.

Care to start a thread to critique YOUR team. I'll be sure to take my gloves off
