Question about Ravens Texans postponement

I believe Like Big Mo said, you cannot open it up for just certain positions.

Let's say you drafted Brady, Flacco and Schaub.

Assuming you couldn't get a better option on the WW, you felt okay about having 2 QBs left.

Now what? You sit idle while another team gets to pick up a Def? No way. Sorry.

The line should be drawn at Defenses and Kickers. 95% of teams carry only 1. They should not be penalized for a natural disaster.

My bench WR's - Andre Davis, Bobby Engram and Jerry Porter...two hurt and another on the Texans...just have to deal with it. Initial draft plan was that I'd have Porter and Engram back when they were healthy. This is just unfortunate bi-product of events.

If K's and DEF's were opened, then I would expect WR's opened for me.

Try to look through the eyes of Greg and Tom for a minute and set your personal biases aside. It gets really ugly if they open up the free agents.

Right now this is the fault of a natural disaster, blame God if you want. If they make a move, then it is all on them and there would be equal or greater complaints.

I have Kevin Walter and Owen Daniels in 8 leagues, Andre Johnson in two major WCOFF leagues, Willis in the NBC and only the Baltimore Defense in a WCOFF satellite.

I would benefit from another decision, but it is not going to happen.

The trade off of having to start a WR #4 or 5 in place of Andre Johnson, or even a Derrick Mason is FAR worse than losing 4-8 points from a kicker.

There is NO WAY you can open it up for just a few positions.... that is just crazy!

I would like to see your facts for the 95% number. I know in every league I drafted in 90+% drafted two kickers alone...
