[Pengwin7]

I hate my team.
That is all.

[Axeman33]

I got a B!! Whoot!

My favorite comment:

It's How You Finish
TD's N Beer! made every other squad look silly after some amazing halftime adjustments, accumulating the most projected points in the league over the second half of the draft.

[rataylor22]

I've never gotten better than a C lol.

I like my team. Other than. You know. That silly TE thing.

I hate my team.
That is all.

I have a QB I can trade you.

[newfcollins]

Yahoo gave me a B. But I think they're off. I love my team.

QB- Romo
RB- Lacy
RB- Foster
WR- Fitzgerald
WR- Maclin
WR- Boldin
TE- Gates
K- Vinatieri
DEF - Seattle

And Russell Wilson as my backup QB.

[InForAPenny]

Yahoo decided I needed a rating of C+. I really am not a fan of some parts of the team, *cough* RBs *cough*.

My team for now:

QB - Manning (the good one)
RB - R.Bush
RB - Sankey (gamble) I usually prefer to play it safe so we'll see
WR - AJ Green
WR - Julian Edelman
WR - Cecil Shorts (sucker pick for the 3rd yr in a row)
TE - Green
K - Crosby
DEF - San Fran

Bench
QB - Kaepernick
RB - S.Green (handcuff for Sankey, just in case)
RB - Blount (really not happy with my RBs)
WR - M.Austin
WR - Kearse
TE - Clay (my screw up - was flipping through players tried to add to queue and missed it was my pick and outright selected him - QQF)

I may have to trade to end up happy with my team.

I have renamed myself Orange Julius.
I like the runners/catchers on my team: RB/WR/TE...
But my darn family was yapping at me to come join them for dinner and I got distracted, eventually had to auto-draft my QB, K, and DEF (none).

Every. single. round, I had a few QBs lined up thinking "If any of these guys fall to me, I'll take them".
Every round, my exact queue was gobbled up.
The one guy I should've taken was Ruffleburger, but I passed on him and he went at the turn between my picks. Stupid Pengwin.
And when 15 guys were off the board, I thought... well, now everybody has their guy I'll wait.
I can still grab Rivers or Tannehill or Dalton or Palmer.
And it kept happening.
Over.
And over.
Never got a QB.
Stupid fantasy websites telling me this was a year to wait on a QB.
Yeah... that works if everybody stops at one QB... but people kept taking back-up QBs!!!
I hate you all.

My team (which I hate):
QB: -
RB: Joique Bell (DET) - Round 5
RB: Ben Tate (CLE) - Round 6
WR: Calvin Johnson (DET) - Round 1
WR: Jordy Nelson (GB) - Round 2
WR: Cordarelle Patterson (MIN) - Round 4
TE: Julius Thomas (DEN) - Round 3
K: -
DEF: -

Not kidding... all three of my first week waiver moves will be to fill these positions, currently filled by Josh McCown (TB), some kicker, and no defense.
Yugg, yugg, yugg.

Deep RB/WR bench though incl 3 RB, 3 WR:
F.Jax (BUF), S.Jax (ATL), Knowshon (MIA), Cooks (NO), Hartline (MIA), Hawkins (CLE)

[rataylor22]

Not as vital a position, but same thing kept happening to me at TE man.

[horrorfan]

It's a shame I couldn't make the draft. The computer I was on didn't want to load the application - new or classic.

I think my starting autodrafted team is ok (aside from the usual computer picking DEF/K too early). Obviously the bench is a random crapshoot post-starters and the computer did what it wanted to keep the balance.

QB: Cutler
WR: K. Allen, Welker, D. Jackson
RB: McCoy, Morris
TE: Rudolph
K: Gostkowski
DEF: Kansas City
BN: Palmer, Woodhead, Amendola, Dobson, Walker, Novak

[Bomm Bastic]

Sooooooo. When someone wants to trade me a TE, let me know (really drafting two TEs? Really?)

Not nearly as silly as drafting two QBs

Anyone with Crosby on their team deserves better then a C!

[horrorfan]

Did anyone draft using the new application? How did you find the experience/layout/ease of use etc?

[Axeman33]

I like my team. As long as I am not a bottom feeder I am happy

QB - Cam Newton
WR - Dez Bryant, TY Hilton, Kendall Wright
RB - Zac Stacey, CJ Spiller
TE - Dennis Pitta
K - Steven Hauschka
D - Arizona
BN - Alex Smith, Pierre Thomas, Darren McFadden, DeAndre Hopkins, Stevie Johnson

New draft application?

Interesting to see the squads, in advance of our Tier II draft tomorrow.

I like Comish' squad. I also like Pengwin7s team and predict a high finish for him - don't see why he should hate a team that has such a dominant WR/TE combo (Calvin, Jordy, Patterson and Orange Julius?!) and an underrated duo of Joique Bell and Ben Tate as RBs with vets FJackson and SJackson on the bench (sure they're old and injury-prone, and not at all reliable as starting RBs, but not terrible as backup RBs). Sure the QB thing is a problem but I'd bet someone comes out of the wordwork he jumps on during the first weeks.

Good luck all!
