Teams picking at the turn hardly ever get a top ranking because the one pick is considered a reach. Having said this I haven't looked if that applies to the Crosby Show draft. I picked at 10 and got a "C-" with write-up stating taking players before they should've been.

Anyway, that's my excuse.

This is true. You have to reach when you have to wait 22 picks before your next 2 picks. I drafted 12th and got a D grade and plan on winning this league.

Barely lost in the championship. My other leagues got bottom 4-5 draft & either won or top 3. I have always done best with horrible grades. & 50/50 with top grades.

P.S.
I’m up for trades guys

Making me feel better....Yahoo TRASHED me relentlessly. I was projected to be 10th last year in a 12 man and ended up being the highest scoring team in the league. You just never know.

Welp I took McC. Thought about taking all old,risky players after that such as Stafford, DaVante, Mike Evans, whoever and naming my team Dusty Bones, but I wussed out when bowers was sitting there lol.

PS the two teams in our league with Bowers based names can suck it. no jinx

They told me my worst pick was Ricky Pearsall, even used the term "Yikes!" I took him at 67 when they had him projected 71.

It's all AI bullshit.

I got lost looking for a player at one point, ran out of time and it autodrafted Jordan Mason for me. I was just happy it was a RB and not another QB or some dumbness. I wouldn't have drafted him, but he has a chance and it could have be so much worse.

Yeah, the rankings that the bot comes up with can be downright bizarre sometimes and the overall grade given seems to have no correlation with how good a team was actually drafted.

You could have done a lot worse than Mason in that situation.

One of my leagues has NOT set a draft date so this it defaults to an offline draft. Might commissioner change it to auto draft?

No communication from commissioner or no messages from managers. Maybe problem is odd number of teams (11)?

NOTE: league is Yahoo

Sounds like he is talking about some random league he is in and not affiliated with this site.

If he has it set to 12 teams it won't allow a draft until the commissioner finds 1 more player

Two seasons ago, I drafted Cooper Kupp and Jonathan Taylor even though they were injured to start the season. I also grabbed Alvin Kamara at a discount since he was suspended to start the season. My other early picks worked out well and I had a juggernaut by seasons end. I won the league. I don’t remember my team name but it had something to do with Infirmary.

I got distracted right before one of my picks. I wound up with Justin Fields

Some people love Fields as a fantasy qb. His numbers are actually really good.

“While the jury is legitimately and fairly out on whether Fields can be a franchise NFL QB, the question that has been answered is that when he’s a NFL starter, he’s a fantasy star who consistently puts up points.”

Yeah he could have done a lot worse l. Fields is a solid fantasy QB just not in real life.

It is another league and in Yahoo.

Where and what name is the league associated with RS? Don't share if it's private - just interested in what's going on out here. :D
