I was originally going to call my team, "Here's my Number, Call me Brady." But it was too long.
And now that song will be stuck in my head all day again.

Overall, I thought it was a very balanced draft.
PPQB (Loch) was on autodraft and selected Aaron Hernandez in the 10th round. Several people thought this was a killer pick. Sort of set up a murders row of weapons for him. A shot in the dark. But who knows. And possibly a good enough gunslinger to be his QB2. We've all got Lock pegged for "dead" last. There's a chance he'll be relegated to a lower level for the foreseeable future! LOL. Although, what do we know, Yahoo! ranks PPQB as having the 5th best draft !!!
Season is up for grabs.
Let the rush to the waiver wire begin!!!

LOL.
Well, you've got time to consider name changes.
I change my team name yearly based on who I draft.
In Season 1, I drafted both Reggie Bush & Michael Bush and called my team Bush Party with a team logo of Kim Kardashian.
In Season 2, I drafted Aaron Rodgers and called my team Discount Doublecheck with a team logo of... ahem... Kim Kardashian.
This season... I've got the #6 pick... not sure who I'll take... but I'm not sure the logo space has room for more than maybe one of KimK's two butt-cheeks.
Maybe I'll call my team The Backfield... and then post a picture of her gigantic bum. Teehee.
Damn, 10th overall.
At least this gives me a better idea of how to lay down some early rankings and who I can expect to land.
10 Team, Points Only, Cash League
25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt
Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, SBennett
G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

10th stinks.
I hate low picks in fantasy football.
I want a top three pick.
I'll forecast the top three...
(1) Frisky Hobbit takes AP.
(2) Newf takes Arian Foster.
(3) Megatron takes Megatron.
13th...ugh tough spot.
Right, let's see if the king of autodrafts can come up with a decent ranking strategy.
Ya, not ideal for drafting thats for sure.
Megatron at #3 eh? Hmm, I originally had him at #10 (my spot for drafting) so I moved him up a spot. This could be interesting, especially seeing as I wont be there for the draft. I hate missing live drafts but what can ya do; damn relatives getting married.

I'll let you know. In most of my other leagues, we choose two QBs so they tend to be more valuable and go quickly (ie- it's better to have Rodgers, Brady and then Sproles and Matthews for the RB, then to have Foster, Johnson, Roethlisberger and Dalton). So we'll see where my thinking is on draft day.

I actually love pick 12!! I am going to get 2 great players at those two spots..
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Still tinkering with my rankings - 13 is not an easy spot to predict. And my thoughts on strategy keep changing daily!
One week to go...
T-minus one hour!
