With that said, I have never thought that the old way was unfair to anyone. I guess if you cant evaluate talent past the first 3 RBs then the top 3 picks are the place to be.
I actually thought that for the Main Event. The 3RR gave the first picks even more of an advantage, since I beleive the difference between a high 3rd round and low 3rd round were not much different, but the drop off in talent in the 4th round was notable.
We were glad to be in the 2 hole and pull down S. Jackson, C. Benson, L. Evans, and J Walker with the first 4 picks.
I think the 3RR balanced things more in the Draft Champions league, but this is a different format all together. Benson and Walker fell that low? Now that is some nice value to say the least. Very good start there Lumpy's Losers. [/QUOTE]This was all negated by taking O. Daniels in Rd 7
You felt so good about that, you drafted another TE two rounds later...
Having sat right next to them, the draft was much different from my perspective as players didn't fall into my lap as they did for them. Evans was really the only one as so many owners took a RB round 3.
That has nothing to do with 3RR. That has to do with the owners in our draft.
And to say the the 3rd round has no drop off is ludicrous.
I was forced to take M.Lynch instead of a top WR or RB, or even Gates, as I would have rec'd last year.
I gave you Walker and I will bet you C.Johnson outscores him. I don't trust Walker for a sec..
Rivers/Ben vs Romo/Campbell
LT/Lynch/TJ H, C.Johnson, Cotch, S.Holmes vs
SJ, Benson, J.Jones, Evans, Walker, Curry
Should be a fun Week 1
In regards to 3RR and the draft... It worked as i stated from Day 1. The top picks had tough decisions to make that they never had to make before.

3RR had no effect on the difficulty of my decision-making whatsoever.

Greg, I would surmize that the 3RR rule is debatable, but that rule you put in that forced the #1 pick to take Lynch is patently unfair. That rule needs to come off the books. If the #1 spot could have picked anyone he wanted, there were certainly several dozen players that could have made more of an impact on his team.

Is there some bonus for having the offensive rookie of the year on your rooster?

[/QUOTE]A.Green went 3.3 and A.Peterson 3.9, Duece 3.11
Taking a RB 3rd round was the best strategy for this pick. 2rb, 4wr in first 6 was 75 points higher in every mock I did.
I had a choice on Lynch or M.Barber and went for Lynch. Time will tell on that one. I went with more touches. There were no RB I wanted or liked at the 5/6 turn if I would have gone rb/wr/wr/wr and those mocks were all 100 points lower. Taking a QB rd 4 was also 75 points lower. Taking Gates was 125 points lower.
I have the best WR's in the league with TJ, Calvin Johnson, Cotch, Holmes, Welker.
I have the best Flex in the league with Holmes.
I look at a lot of drafts and IMO, many owners took very weak 3RB's instead of a potential 200+ WR at flex and they are going to pay for it come bye week time.
